Nadine West is a new subscription service that sends fashion and jewelry to your door for FREE, that's right, FREE. When Nadine West asked me to review their subscription, I was very intrigued and said yes. When you sign up for Nadine West, you fill out a style profile online and then Nadine West will send you a shirt or dress plus 2-4 pieces of jewelry. They will authorize your card for the amount of the items. You will not be charged (it will show as pending). Obviously, if they didn't do this, people would just keep the items without paying. I was sent just jewelry for my review.
The Details:
Cost: FREE
Jewelry and Clothing Costs: Red Bagged Items: $24.99
Purple Bagged Items: $17.99
Black Bagged Items: $9.99
Shirts: $13.49
How much is shipping? Free both ways. They send you postage to put on you envelope, when you want to return items.
What is the pending charge on my card? From Nadine West:
“Short Answer: The Pending Charge will NOT apply to your account until the end of your two-week period is up (if you keep all/some of the items). It is only present to ensure you have enough funds on your card to cover the potential charge amount. At the end of the two week period, the reserved funds will vanish without capturing the amount on your card if you do not choose to keep items. This method is NOT charging and refunding an amount as the pending amount never pushes through as an actual charge.
In short: it’s a safety net to make sure people have the ability to pay for items without actually charging them.
More Detail: Credit card companies are tricky. Since we’re sending valuable jewelry to you and aren’t charging up-front, the only manner we can verify that people can pay is by “authorizing†the amount via your credit card company. All this means is that the credit card company authorizes that you have the necessary funds to cover a certain amount, should you need it. The amount will appear on your pending charges, but will not become permanent until we “capture†the amount, which occurs after your two week period IF you decide to keep any of your items. “
When am I charged: You are charged for any items you haven't sent back after 2 weeks.

I would not pick this out, but I like it. It's not too big and it's very unique. I like that it is a pretty versatile piece and would look great with a plain top.
Mia Collection Turquoise Earrings $9.99
These are very pretty and are very reasonably priced. These are a bit bigger than what I usually wear. I will give these to my mother for Christmas. She will love them.
My Whole Package
Final Thought: This is a very unique subscription service. I love that it's FREE . You can get jewelry shipped to your home and return it, without ever paying anything. I really like the jewelry I was sent. You will have to make sure there is room on your card for the items they send (as there will be a pending charge, until you return your unwanted items). This is a great way to find new tops and jewelry items risk free. Nadine West has also given me a giveaway for the first 50 people that sign up. See details below.

I was really excited to get my Julep Maven box this month. This month, Julep released their lip gloss. I really love lip gloss, so I got the Modern Beauty Box. This is the first time I have got the Modern Beauty box. Modern Beauty usually doesn't have any nail polish, so that is why I normally don't choose it. I was so excited about the lip products this month, I added on two more lip glosses.
Modern Beauty Box
First Look
Lip Products
Sample and Information
There is always a quote in every box. This month's quote was “There's no place like home” by Dorothy
Julep also included a holiday gift guide with several new bundles. There was also a sample of Luxe Repair Skin Serum. This is supposed to deeply hydrate your skin and help rebuild skin structure from the inside out.
Blank Canvas Plumping Lip Primer
This is a primer that plumps, moisturizes, and preps your lips for color. This gave my lips a tingle and reminded me of some Burt Bees lip treatment I have. I love how it makes my lips look and feel. It also has a pail pink color to it. *Update: I didn't realize it at the time, but my lip primer continued to come out, after using it. It took several clicks to “prime” it, which I didn't think was unusual. Apparently, it kept coming out, as there was a mess in my lip. Make sure you only click a couple of times and wait for it to come out.
Timeless Lip Gloss
This has a pale pink color, but is still a bit sheer. I don't like really pale color on my lip. This has a nice shimmer and looks great on. This is the color that came with the box
Glowing-Add On
This is my favorite of all the glosses. He accentuates my lip color with an added shimmer. It isn't sticky and feels great on my lips.
Plum-Add On
This is a more dramatic berry gloss. It is beautiful, but will leave it for nights out. It's a bit too bold for daytime for me.
The Box
Final Thought: I loved this box and the gloss is a new favorite of mine. I had gloss that is sticky, the new Julep Gloss is not sticky. I can't wait to get this in other colors. What Julep box did you get this month? Do you want to try Julep Maven for free. You can get your first box free by using this link HERE and using the code FREEBOX. Note: You will not get the regular subscription box, but the contents will be similar to a regular box.
