Burts Bees Acne & He Qi Crystal Designs Giveaway!


My Halloween Treat!! Hi guys, I have a few samples of Burt's Bees Acne Solution Targeted Spot Treatment. The sample size is the same size as a perfume sample. Let me know how many you want. It's all free. Email me at julujewelry@gmail.com

I got it free for being a BzzAgent. I already have the full-size bottle, don't need the samples. It didn't help me much.

I fail at Twilight jewelry, check her out! I've been thinking about doing a simple Sailor Moon necklace ever since I saw michelle phan's video...

clinique, you better be good!


I cashed in on this Clinique gwp deal. It's my first Clinique purchase EVER. I won't say what I got because it's a gift for my sister (she pokes in occasionally).

A part of me has always wanted to get some clinique because when I was little I would play around with my mom's empty makeup compacts. They were jade green. Are they still now? I don't actually know. The gwp also used to have plastic storage containers instead of flimsy makeup bags. Do you remember seeing them? They were white long shaped containers with a round top or lipstick organizers. We actually still have them from 10-20 years ago! I really want to go take pictures and post them later.

So anyway, I thought this little gwp was pretty awesome. I love stuff in white, and I can use ALL of the gifts. The online gwp is usually better than the in-store ones. Unfortunately the bag has a faux leather texture that isn't so smooth, but it's still cute cuz it's white. I always end up with many free bags that I have no use for.

I can't believe I actually bought a pencil bag from sephora, and I haven't used it yet. It was from their Moroccan collection. I love the print so much I had to have it! I love geometric designs. It's just too big to be considered a pencil case! It's more like stuff all your brushes in here kind of a case. It's a very well made case though. I like the clear vinyl interior lining. You can easily wipe off the mess.

Sorry if there are typos. I painted the kitchen today (3rd time this week), and my finger muscles are tired. My brain will think one thing, and my fingers will type wrong.

What's your favorite Clinique product? lmk down below!

Edward Cream, yes really!


What is Edward Cream you ask? My cute sister came up with it. So months ago I gave her some moisturizer I forgot about and didn't need anymore. (it must be good to get loads of free stuff from your big sis) Presenting Neutrogena Illuminating Whip Moisturizer. I don't think they sell this anymore.

I was looking at her collection and noticed that she was using the moisturizer I gave her... "you still use that?" I asked. "Yeah, it's my Edward cream!" she replied. "Yeah, it makes your face sparkle like Edwards!" she added. I forgot how sparkly the moisturizer was until I poked it and smeared it on my hand. And, by golly I realized that it IS Edward cream! It is so friggin ILLUMINATING that I think that's why I stopped using it! I think I originally bought this to help my dry skin. Once my skin stopped being so dry I just stopped using it.

So, I thought of something weird... if you find this stuff.. put it on your boyfriend, and he'll be your Edward vampire for the day (or night)!

I swapped with ect of e.motion in: motion. She is such a sweet gal, and I love reading her blog. She just posted some amazing photos of her trip to Kona. Please check her out. She makes these adorable little charms with clay. They are the cutest charms I have ever seen! L-R: Mochi, star, cupcake.


Stacieee's first batch of pretty bracelets. I had to get my hands on one of these puppies. She was after all my first blogger order! She included the pink one, shy cupid, as a gift. Thank you so much! They are more beautiful in person! I think she still has a few left.


I was so surprised to find this in my mail box. There was no need, but you hit the spot with asian, french, and sleeping goodies! Thank you so much! :) Joanna has a contest going on right now! Your odds are good to win. Please check her out! She also makes video posts instead of typing, so it's a nice break from the eye strain of reading so many blogs. (I still gladly read them all though!)
