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.

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.

HauteLegs offered to send a one of their subscription packages and of course I said yes. HauteLegs is a leg wear subscription that sends trendy hosiery, tights, leggings and socks to your door. As of Jan 2014, there have been changes to the Hautelegs. Now, you choose your 3 favorite styles and HauteLegs will send them in your first package! Next month, they will email you a customized boutique to select from. You'll choose 2 pairs from your boutique and they will also send you their featured pair of the month with tips on how you can wear it best. I don't buy leg wear too often, but I was excited to see what I would receive.
I recently joined Influenster and was approved for my first Vox Box. Influenster is a online community where you write reviews, complete surveys and give your thought about products and experiences. You connect your social networks and as you complete tasks, you earn free boxes to review. I got chosen to try the Colgate Slim Soft Vox Box.
The Box

The Goodies
1. Colgate Slim Soft Toothbrush.
From the Manufacturer
17x slimmer tip bristles for a deep clean
6x* deeper reach between teeth and gums
1.5x** deeper access between teeth
35% more bristles for unique mouth feel
An ergonomic and flexible handle
My Thoughts
To be honest, I wasn't expecting much. I mean, it's a toothbrush, how exciting can it be. I tried out the Colgate Slim Soft toothbrush and was amazed how soft it felt on my teeth and gums. I have sensitive teeth and this toothbrush didn't bother me at all. It also cleaned better than my usual toothbrush. I usually get my toothbrushes from my dentist. The Colgate Slim Soft Tooth brush also cleans those hard to reach areas of my mouth.
2. Colgate Total Advanced Pro Shield Peppermint Blast
From the Manufacturer
Kills 99% of Germs
Significantly Reduces Plaque
Helps Prevent Gingivitis
No Burn of Alcohol
Freshens Breath
My Thoughts
This is alcohol free and didn't burn my mouth when I used it. I don't normally use mouthwash, because I don't like the after taste. This didn't have that unpleasant after taste and it kept my mouth fresh
3. Colgate Total Advanced Whitening
From the Manufacturer
This fights germ for 12 hours and helps prevent:
Plaque
Gingivitis
Tarter Build Up
Cavities
Bad Breath
My Thoughts
I am rather picky about my toothpaste. This has a nice minty flavor that kept my mouth fresh and clean.
M is for Monster was founded by a mom, that got tired of pinning, prepping and shopping for supplies, so she could do fun and educational activities with her children. It took too much time researching, planning and putting together fun activities for her children. She wanted to spend more time with her children and help other mom's do the same, so she founded M is for Monster.
