Jesse's Girl Julie G Collection: Gift Wrapped

Hello loves. I thought I would share another Jesse's Girl color with you all today. This is from the Julie G Collection I told you about yesterday. This was part of their holiday collection and it's called Gift Wrapped.

Gift Wrapped is a gorgeous magenta with tons of pink shimmer. In the bottle it looks like glitter but it's not, it's just chock full of shimmers. It actually has a nice glass fleck look going on. It's quite pretty and though it's marketed for the holidays I think it will work all year long.

I used two coats for full opacity and had no issues with application. It went on smoothly with no streaking or balding. 

Like I mentioned in yesterday's post, Jesse's Girl Cosmetics are found at select Rite Aid stores.

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!"

Zoya: Neely (Lovely Collection, Spring 2013)

It's the first Friday of the new year. Congrats, you made it through week one! Today I have another spring green to show you. This is Zoya's Neely from the Lovely Collection.

Instead of a mint or sea foam green I'd call this one celery. It has no real blue under tones like yesterday's feature Nicole by OPI: Alex by the Books. This one is much more of a neutral green, not too yellow toned, not too blue toned, just perfectly balanced. It's quite pale and doesn't quite have the pop that Alex by the Books has, it's much more subdued.

The formula on this was fully opaque in just two coats. I had no issues at all with application. It wasn't too thick or too thin. I had no balding, no streaking and it didn't dry too fast. Great formula once again from Zoya. 

  

Pretty right? As mentioned in yesterday's post, I will do a true comparison of these types of colors so you can really see the subtle differences. Keep your eyes peeled.

What are your plans for the weekend? Tomorrow is my four year wedding anniversary! Where does the time go? Honestly!
