Good mornin’ to ya! I hope your Monday goes by quick and easy

I have partnered with Julep Nail Parlor for a little giveaway for you guys!

Background: Julep Nail Parlor is an environmentally aware nail salon chain in Washington, with the flagship salon in Seattle. If you get a mani/pedi there, they send you home with the items that can’t be sterilized, and if you bring them back for use on your next visit, they donate $1.00 to The Nature Conservancy. I think that’s pretty cool!

They also have a whole slew of nail colors available for purchase.

They will be giving away one set of their Holiday Colors (mini bottles), which include the four polishes you see above.

The colors are:

• Stefani - Medium olive green with blue and gold shimmer
• Sienna - Gold foil
• Cyndi - Blackened red glitter
• Molly – Bright red creme

Whilst perusing through my local CVS recently, I came across a display of a new product by Milani: Baked Eyeshadows. They come in a variety of colors and have regular and marbleized versions.

I have to say I very pretty impressed with the pigmentation with all of these. They are very pigmented and even dry, look really good. They feel very soft and easy to work with.
