Generally when I sit down to do my nails, I have at least some kind of loose idea of what I want to do. I mean... if I didn't, I'd spend a lot of time sitting at my nail desk wracking my brain, so it's definitely best that I do it this way. That being said, sometimes I sit down and I have no idea and I just decide to play. Admittedly, while really fun this is generally not a good way to get to great nail art, but this time around I feel like it turned out sort of great and I legitimately had no idea what I was going to do here - even right in the middle of doing it!

So just keep reading to see what I did, I guess!

I keep saying that I'm going to cancel my Julep subscription, but for some reason I just skip most months rather than actually cancelling. Can you blame me? Anyway, this month was kind of the perfect storm. One of my favorite all time products is from Julep and I was running out, so it was time to pick up another one, I had some points to spend to get some bonus items, and Winter Is Coming so keeping my hands and cuticles hydrated is topping my list right now. So, really, what I'm trying to say... is that I just couldn't resist!

I was so impressed with the first facial milk moisturizer that I tried that when I decided to spend some of my Jules with my Julep subscription I just couldn't resist trying out their What Your Skin Needs Restorative Facial Milk. It looked quite similar to the one that I had already tried and I was really, really excited to try it. Of course, I wanted to wait until the weather got cold because I really wanted to put this product to the test on my driest possible skin. Since winter here in Winnipeg has officially turned brutal in the past few weeks, I've been putting this to the test consistently and I'm definitely ready to give you guys my review!

It's been a long time since I've gotten a Julep Maven box, I admit. I've been skipping almost every month because I just can't justify the expense and I'm just not as into nails as I was when I originally signed up. Because of this, I decided I was going to cancel my subscription after just one more box. I mean, I had Jules to spend and it seemed silly not to go out with a box, right? Also, there were a couple of things that I'd been wanting to try as well as one product that is a long time favorite of mine that I wanted another bottle of before I left Julep for keeps.

So, before I do this unboxing, I have to admit something. The only reason that I ended up getting this box was because I accidentally deleted the selection email and forgot to skip. I've been pretty consistently skipping Julep for the past several months because the exchange rate is just really not making it worth it for me anymore and I think this will likely be my last box because I'm going to go in and cancel my subscription entirely. I was holding on and keeping my eyes open for products that I wanted to try, but I don't want to risk accidentally getting a box that I don't want in the future and it's just not worth it for me to stay subscribed.

Anyway, I did get the box and I figured I'd unbox it here on the blog for you guys in case you're curious about the products - so keep reading to see what I got!

It's been months since I've done a Julep unboxing and I suspect this might be my last one. Honestly, it just hasn't felt like the right subscription service for me for a while, no matter how much I absolutely love their products. A big part of this is the price. With the exchange rate being what it is at the moment, it's hard to justify what the cost is now for Canadians.  Also, being that I'm not nearly as into nail polish as I was when I first signed up for Julep, it just doesn't make sense anymore. This month, however, they released newly formulated blushes and eyeshadow sticks and it seemed like a great time to make use of some of the Maven Points that I had saved on my account to grab an add on, so I went for it.
