Julep Maven June ~ “Sail Into Summer”  The collection is called “Nantucket Nostalgia Collection”

This summer, remember,

“Style isn’t just about what you wear. It’s about how you live.” Lilly Pulitzer

This month I went with Classic With A Twist.

Martha ~ Polo pink crème

Kennedy ~ Khaki crème

This picture isn’t a fair representation of the colors.

Julep DD Creme ($36): The DD Cream is the reason I decided to get a box this time around. Julep describes it as “a dynamic do-all makeup that goes beyond BB crème to moisturize, prime, perfect, and protect—both instantly and over time.” It has SPF 25 and also claims to give skin a mate finish and decrease pore size. It’s the first DD crème on the market so far. I got the light shade, but haven’t tried it yet.

*BONUS* three YUMMY pieces of salt water taffy: Lime, Chocolate & Strawberry.

Did you like your DD cream? Did you get the concealer as well? What did you think of this month’s collection?
