I ordered a glass file from Julep  and they sent me a bonus glitter pot for nails. The instructions say to apply polish, then sprinkle polish on wet nails and after the polish dries apply a top coat. I am excited to try Also the first 1000 who sign up for a  Julep Maven  subscription will only pay a penny for their first box (click  HERE  to sign up and use the code SHAREON)

I was sent a trial size of  Montagne Jeunesse  face mask in Passion Peel off to try by  Influenster 's VoxBox program, but I have been love with these masks for a while now. I always pick up a few up when I am at Walmart. What I like best about these mask are that they come in small packs (about 2-3 uses) so you are never stuck with one type of mask. One week I might need a Dead Sea mask another week I might need a Cucumber Peel off mask, and with these affordable smaller pouches I can try as many as I like. This moring I used the Dead Sea Mud Pac, it totally relaxed me and helped clean out my pores. These mask come in such a wide varity you are bound to find one that suites your skin. These are perfect the moring after a big holiday party.

The winner of my Philosophy Sugar plum Frost 3n1 shower gel is Jane Swanson Bernecky Congratulations and thank you everyone who entered!

I haven't tried a pair of press-on nails since I was a little girl, so when  Influenster  sent me a set of  imPress Press-on Manicure  as part of their holiday VoxBox program I was excited to try them. The set I received was called "Space Cadet". These are super easy to apply all you have to do is peel of the backing and press on your nail.  There are 12 sizes in each package, which means anyone can find their perfect fit. These took me less than 5 minutes to apply and the removal was even quicker. They last up to a week and I think this is a super fun way to do a quick manicure before a big party. Below are pictures 

I received a full size of  NYC New York Color Liquid Lip Shine  compilmentary thanks to  Influenster  and their holiday VoxBox program. The  NYC New York Liquid Lip Shine s come in 10 different colors and the I got was "Nude York City", which is a really sheer nude color. The lip shine has vitamin e to help moisturise your lips, but it wasn't sticky or too thick on my lips. It had a faint smell of vanilla frosting which I liked, and my lips did feel softer after it was applied. The best part is the price, the NYC New York Color Liquid Lip Shine  retails for only $2.49! I have to pick up some other colors next time I am at the drugstore! Here are swatches:
