The Information Card Popsugar has amazing information cards.  Their cards fold out and have information about each product, why they picked it and the picture.  I don’t like staring at the information card, trying to find out what is what.  This month, Popsugar is donating a $1.00 to Breast Cancer research with every box sold. NYX Smoky Shadow Palette $7.00 I love this palette.  I will use all of these colors.  I like that Popsugar didn’t include any loud and crazy colors. Julep Maven Freedom Top Coat  $18.00 retail $14.40 maven price Char (It Girl) $14.00 retail $11.20 maven pricing Julep recently made an appearance in my Citrus Lane box.  I was hoping Popsugar would get a different color than Citrus Lane included, and I was happy to see they did.  Popsugar send two polishes: the freedom top coat and Char nail polish.  The Freedom Top Coat is one of my favorite Julep products.  It makes your nails look glossy and it tries your polish in 5 minutes!  The other polish was Char, a beautiful dark blue color.  If you are interested in find out more aboutContinue Reading
