Legally Wandering Jen

It's been a while since I've actually opted to receive a monthly Julep box.  I had been skipping my boxes due to financial reasons and I'm also more of a summer color kind of girl, so I had been waiting to get out of the dreary winter months for some fun items!  Typically, you receive around 3 items in your Julep box, but this month I added on 3 items and then received a bonus item for my add-ons.  Somehow I had enough Jules saved up to end up spending less than the cost of the subscription! If you aren't familiar with Julep Maven, it is another subscription box service that sends you nail polish or other beauty items depending on what you choose to receive.  Julep makes very high quality products so I highly suggest it!  It's $24.99 a month and you have the option to skip each month.  You can get your first box for free using the code SUMMER (you just have to pay the $2.99 shipping fee).  Please use my referral link to take advantage of this aw...

Beauty Box 5  is a monthly subscription box that gives you 5 deluxe beauty samples for $12 a month.  Up until I finally read the information card, I completely thought this was the September box, but then realized I had a promo code to receive a free August Box so now I fully understand why I received Summer products when I was expecting Fall products.  Now I'm not so disappointed because who can really argue with free things and I do live in San Diego so it is kind of an endless summer right?  Anyway, if you'd like to sign up for Beauty Box 5 please sign up here using my  referral link .  Be sure to use the code HALFOFF to receive your first box for only $6! Here is an overview of my box.  Am I the only person in the world who hates these little squiggly paper things subscription boxes put in them?  They just make a mess.  I swear there are probably some still hidden in the nooks of my old apartment.  However, I do love the turquois...

Back during the days of bar study, I was accidentally procrastinating (aka reading 100s of beauty blogs) when I stumbled upon  LuxePineapple .  At first, I was incredibly confused as to what exactly it was.  It's not your typical subscription box company because in fact, they don't do subscription boxes.  Actually, they do something better: boxes of joy.  Frequently, usually at least once or twice a week they create a limited number of these boxes that have amazing beauty products for an UNBELIEVABLE discount.  My last purchase was a $15 box of joy filled with $75 worth of incredible make-up.  They also offer other single items at discounted prices and even some fan favorite discontinued colors in certain brands, such as Chanel.  Every time I get an email from them, I can't help but smile because I know it will contain some MUST HAVE deal to tempt me and I won't be disappointed. Each box of joy comes in this adorable packaging...and no I don't...

Square Hue  is a monthly nail polish subscription that delivers 3 specially curated nail polish colors to your door monthly for $14.99 a month.  The BEST part is that some of the proceeds of your order go to charity :)  There's no commitment and you can cancel at any time, which is a great quality in my opinion for a subscription box!  This was my first month using Square Hue so I was excited to get home from vacation and finally try out the colors.  Each month has a different theme and for August, the theme was the Beverly Hills Passport Collection. Yes, I thought I was cool and would be super creative and throw in my passport with the picture of the collection...lame, I know. This month's box came with a purple micro shimmer (Cannon Drive), a blue micro shimmer (Wilshire Boulevard), and a gold micro glitter (Rodeo Drive).  I LOVE all of these colors and I'm glad this was my first box.  I haven't used the purple yet, but I'm sure I will withi...
