- - Julep | "Adored" Lip Gloss - -


Hi friends!

I'm behind on so many reviews, but my last exam is this upcoming Tuesday, so I'm sure I'll be back on track soon enough. In the meantime, thank you so much for bearing with me!

A few weeks ago Julep was having their Shine All Year promotion, which featured a set that included: Kessie (the radiant orchid Pantone Colour of the Year), the Freedom Polymer Top Coat, and the Mighty Nail & Cuticle Serum. The set was free with a $30 purchase, so I quickly filled my cart with $30 worth of products - this amounted to only two nail polishes and a lip gloss - and used the promo code.

After waiting a couple of weeks, I finally received the package! I was SO excited! Sadly, Julep totally made a mistake and forgot to include the set that I had made this very purchase for...ugh. Luckily, Julep has since shipped out a new set for me (without Kessie since it's unavailable - I'm receiving Coretta instead) and I'm awaiting its arrival.

Anyways, the good news is that because of my purchase I can now show you guys "Adored", the latest addition to my Julep lip gloss collection, and how it compares to the other Julep lip gloss shades I own.

- - Photo A Day Challenge | April 2014 | Week 2/4 - -

Source: Fat Mum Slim

Hi everyone!

This month I've decided to try out a monthly photo challenge hosted by Chantelle of Fat Mum Slim. I only found out about this challenge after the first week of April, but after being assured by Rebecca of Hello Pretty Bird! (who is participating as well) that the photo challenge police were unlikely to come after me if I started now, I have made the decision to jump in and see what I could come up with for the remining days in April. :)

The concept of this challenge is simple: take a picture a day that corresponds with the guiding themes in the photo above and then share it with the #FMSphotoaday hashtag.

I'm going to show you my photos on a weekly basis, but I may also end up sharing them on a daily basis on the Magnificent Road facebook page. I'll probably do a final recap of all the photos at the end of the month.

Let us now take a look at what I came up with for April 8 - April 13!

- - Vegan Cuts Beauty Box | March 2014 Review - -


Hey friends!

Did you see? I'm working on a Facebook page for Magnificent Road! It's definitely a slow and ever-changing process, but I'm hoping it will allow me to be better connected with you and vice versa. You can find the "Like" button just below my contact info on the right. Thank you so much for your continual support!

In the meantime, I've got a review of my first ever Vegan Cuts beauty box! I came across this subscription when I was looking into organic/natural subs a while back. Vegan Cuts has two boxes you can subscribe to: a snack box and a beauty box. I only subscribe to the beauty box.

Hi friends!

Are you ready for this? Less than a month after they introduced their last mystery box, Julep is offering yet another set of mystery boxes! On the heels of the popularity of Felicia, the black speckled mint crème add-on polish from the April collection, Julep has released two speckled nail polishes you can choose from this month.

The Speckled For Spring Mystery Boxes are available until April 14th,2014 / while supplies last.

Keep in mind that you don't need to have a Julep subscription to be able to purchase mystery boxes.
