I actually really, really love this collection. The only part I didn't one was when Julep casually forgot to ship my red and magenta plush pouts. I was waiting to post this until they arrived but its been weeks and theres no sign of them. So...

For me the real winner this month was Lupita. Seriously, a perfect coverage creme that simply screams fall. Paired with the Almond Nude Plush Pout? Perfection. I was getting compliments all day. I actually loved both products so much that I ordered backups. Oops?
I wasn't much of a fan of Mary Lee. I was really excited about her satin formula. However she was much darker than I anticipated, had a funky smell, and an awful wear time. Great in theory, but not so much in practice.
Swatch time!
I ordered all four Plush Pouts this month, but only two arrived (sad face). I called Julep and they were nice enough to send me what I ordered. But they won't be arriving for at least another week. Seriously excited to try Cardinal Red. In general I don't find the core any more moisturizing than the rest of the product. But thankfully that wasn't the draw of this product for me.
Aurora Pink (top) is pretty, but I find it isn't flattering on my super pale skin. I find it gives me a bit of a porcelain doll look, but not in a good way.
Almond Nude on the other hand I just can't stop gushing about. It is just a flawless colour that looks laid back but professional and pretty. My boss actually said my nail polish (Lupita) and my lip stick were a perfect match. So clearly she and Julep know whats up.
Swatches of Almond Nude and Aurora Pink!

This was a little nail experiment I tried and totally fell in love with. Eliana for a base and Mahima for the accents.
Right now I am not impressed with Julep's shipping and packaging. I was pretty bummed to be missing out on the two lip products I ordered. I love Julep, but right now I just don't like them very much. Over all this collection was out of the park. Plus, being able to upgrade with Jules was a nice little perk ;)
