Jesse's Girl Cosmetics: Julie G Collection in Chic Cipro

Hi everyone! It's Monday again! I swear even the pets dread Mondays. I hope you all had a nice weekend. Today I have a color to share from the Julie G Collection by Jesse's Girl Cosmetics. If you don't know who JulieG is, she's a makeup guru on YouTube with tons of fans. Jesse's Girl has teamed up with her to create a line of polishes with her name. Very cool! I watch her videos all the time and she seems like a genuinely nice girl. I am so happy to see all of the success she has achieved with her videos. Can you believe some of these makeup gurus on youtube do this for a living? I wish I could make that my job! But I digress...

This is Chic Cipro which is an odd name. I looked up "cipro" but could not find any meaning beyond prescription medication, LOL, anyone know what it means? *EDIT: SEE BELOW FOR WHAT IT MEANS!  It's a peachy nude cream color that's sort of ugly chic if you ask me. I love these kind of colors. Sometimes peachy colors do not work with my skin tone but this one is really pretty.

I used two coats for the opacity shown but may have been better off with a third looking at the photos now. However, I think that was just my application. I need to be more careful sometimes. The formula was nice and super shiny, which you know I love.

Have you tried any of the Julie G polishes? I have only seen Jesse's Girl, and this collection, at select Rite Aid stores near me, not all of them. So this is a little tough to come by. Jesse's Girl does make great cosmetics though so check them out if you do have access. They are affordable and great quality, in my opinion.

EDIT: I heard from the PR representative who from Jesse's Girl who explained what Cipro meant. I think this information is really cool and really speaks to the creativity behind the line. I am so glad I wrote that I was wondering. Very cool!

"[...]saw that you were wondering what “Cipro” meant, and it’s actually the subway stop in Italy that Julie would go to everyday when she was studying abroad in Italy. What’s so cool about the JulieG Collection is that Julie not only helps design the colors, but then gives them names that go along with the shade, but also ones that relate to special memories or experiences from her life!"

OPI- San Tan-Tonio

Hi! Hope all is well where ever you are!! Today I want to share a polish from the OPI Texas Collection. 


This is San Tan-Tonio which OPI describes as "the perfect honey tan".   I think that description is pretty accurate.  I think the color is really pretty. It reminds me of creamy peanut butter or a chai tea latte or maybe a nice cafe au lait, or something, LOL. I am not sure if those are attractive descriptions to you but I love those things.  I did not think I was going to like this  one but I really really do.  I think it really works with my skin tone well. I think maybe if I had a tan working it wouldn't look all that great on me but with my pale winter skin I am really digging this look. I guess it's sort of one of those ugly chic colors.  I can see myself in this a lot. I think it's a nice neutral color for work or play.


The formula on this was great. I still hate the pro-wide brush, it's bigger than my pinkie nail, but I made it work for me.   I am getting used to the wide brush. I wish it was flatter not so full but it is what it is.  I had no trouble with streaking or balding and it was nearly opaque in one coat and fully opaque in two.  It's also got a nice shiny finish to it as you can see in the photos, I did not use a top coat and it was not dull at all. 

I am a big fan of this color. I don't know what it is with neutrals lately but I dig them. What do you think of this one? Skipping or dying to get you claws on it? 

P.S. my new camera is amazing. These photos are from the old one but soon you'll see photos from the new one. It has a "super macro" setting on it which is incredible. I am so excited to be able to take good quality pics without sunlight as it was getting tough with the winter weather!
