In the Mail

I received two packages in the mail today. The first one had novelties from China. I was looking for a biting bulldog toy, but could only find it  in keychain form. My sister raises mini bulldogs and I wanted to give her one. I ordered five so I could share and take advantage of shipping. I also ordered two leafy zip ties. I couldn't resist and may even find use in the garden or with one of the fairy gardens.

The second package was my Julep Maven package. I ordered the boho glam package and included three add on's. boho came with Karen- a shimmery peach, Faye- a shimmery cocoa brown, and Beach Tonic- an after bath spray on body oil. My first add on was Sea Salt texture spray for your hair. I was excited to try this as the version I was using is pretty much gone. I also ordered Fireworks- a red, silver and blue glitter; and a collection that included Catherine- a bold sheer red, Sienna- a champagne gold metallic, and America- last years patriotic glitter. It has red micro glitter, blue and silver glitter, and silver stars. They also threw in Green Tea blotting papers. I have been meaning to pull mine out as my face has been oily lately.

 

I decided to test out the glitter as the 4th is near. I used my Millie- navy on my left hand with fireworks and Catherine- red on my right with America. I tested swapping the glitters on middle fingers. On the red there is only a subtle difference. America has a red shimmer. On the navy, the red shimmer was distracting.

When I touch up the middle fingers to match I found one of the elusive stars.
