January My Maven Box

Being a Maven has opened me up to try so many new beauty products and dip my toes into products I never would try on my own. Specifically make up. I've tried so many nice things that I know I couldn't live without now! For instance, the Luxe Lip conditioning treatment in January's Maven boxes has been a miracle worker for me during this winter weather. We've had one heck of a winter, and my lips are thanking me for using Luxe Lip.  Once again, I decided to use my powers to switch up my box with My Maven, instead of choosing one box and sticking with it, My Maven lets you opt out of the products you're not hot on and pick new shades, or products you are more interested in. Here's what I got this month:

• Luxe Lip Treatment  - Sheer Fig
• Gel Eye Glider - Olive
• Casey 
• Gel Eye Glider Sharpener (Add On)
• Metamorphic Top Coat - Tilda (Gift)

My box had the Luxe Lip in Sheer Coral, which is lovely but I decided to try Sheer Fig because I don't have many colours like that. I am obsessed with how the metal applicator cools my lips and even though the gloss isn't the greatest smell, I love the texture of it. Not too sticky and not too wet. The reviews for this gloss aren't that great, not a lot of people enjoyed it but its honestly my favourite gloss so far and will most likely get another as an add on this month!
Casey is said to be a "Galapagos teal creme" and it is definitely on point. The colour shows up on my nails exactly as shown on the website and on the bottle. It's a gorgeous deep teal and perfect for winter! I only needed one coat for good coverage, but two made it bolder. It came off my nails great, too. I usually have a hard time with any teals leaving stains on my skin and cuticles after removal but it hardly left any. 

The eye glider is also nice. I'm not big on coloured eye liner but this olive green is a nice tone and matches my eyes. Glides on easy and doesn't smudge. I have yet to use the sharpener, but I'm going to keep my expectations low, because most sharpeners don't do crap. I'm hoping this one is different. I also haven't used the metamorphic top coat, which was a nice gift from Julep, just for being a Maven! It sounds interesting though and I will definitely show you guys when I use it!
