I'm back with my October Julep Maven box. I almost skipped this month, because most of the boxes came with crackle, and I didn't like the 1 box that didn't have crackle. The crackle trend is pretty much dead, IMO, and I think many people felt the same way because Julep came out with another option this month and that is the Maven's Choice box. It came with 3 creme polishes from the October boxes, but no drops. I really wanted to try the drops, so I debated whether to get the American Beauty box or the Maven's Choice box. The American Beauty box came with a dusty indigo creme polish named Eloise and an orange crackle named Sabrina, which I thought was a pretty unique color for a crackle and was the reason I was thinking of getting it. But then I decided it would be better to just get Maven's Choice and add on the drops, since I was also going to add on Sofia anyway. And ta-da:
l-r: lisa, eloise, keira, sofia, quick dry drops
Julep included several extras this month. As you can see in the last picture, there's glitter! I got orange and black, which is perfectly fine with me because it's October and those will be great for Halloween. But I know some people got white and silver, which would have been nice and more versatile. The other extra was candy corn, which is a Halloween staple, but I'm not a fan of it. I'll probably give it away. Anyway, I hope to do swatches soon! At the very least, I will do skittle swatches if I can't do full hand swatches right away.
Also, I was playing with lighting and angles and stuff today, so that I can try to be better about swatching and photographing for this little blog. (Maybe you can tell, by some of the over-brightness of the photos, lol.) That's one of the main reasons my blogging schedule is so wonky. By the time I get home from school and/or interning, it's already dark. And that'll be even more so with winter coming up. Can't believe it's already October!!
Until next time~
