My November Julep Maven It Girl Box ~ Unwrapped

I'm pretty excited about this month's Julep Maven Box.  If you're not familiar with the Julep Maven box, you take a quiz to determine your profile, and for $19.99 a month, you get nail polish (and beauty products!) from the higher end Julep brand (sold at Sephora), with a retail value of at least double (usually more than that!) {the polishes alone retail for $14 each}. If you haven't, click on one of my links and sign up! And right now, sign up and enter promo code FREEBOX to get your first box for free, just pay $3.99 shipping. The best part is that they show you what you'll be getting each month, so you have a 5 day window to either switch to a different profile (there's 5!) or skip the month altogether and not be charged. Genius!   {Click to see what was inside!}

My October Julep Bombshell Maven Box ~ Unwrapped

Hi lovelies!  I'm pretty excited about this month's Julep Maven Box, I opted for the Bombshell profile again this month because I instantly fell in love with 'Cleopatra', the black latex polish.  If you're not familiar with the Julep Maven box, you take a quiz to determine your profile, and for $19.99 a month, you get nail polish (and beauty products!) from the higher end Julep brand (sold at Sephora), with a retail value of at least double (usually more than that!) {the polishes alone retail for $14 each}. If you haven't, click on one of my links and sign up! And right now, sign up and enter promo code FREEBOX to get your first box for free, just pay $3.99 shipping. The best part is that they show you what you'll be getting each month, so you have a 5 day window to either switch to a different profile (there's 5!) or skip the month altogether and not be charged. Genius! 

So this month's box contained as mentioned, 'Cleopatra', which they call a black latex, but it's a semi-matte finish to give it that latex / rubbery look.  Love.  I also received 'Valerie', a beautiful deep teal with a gold microglitter shimmer.  The beauty product this month was this genius dual ended kohl eye pencil (and sharpener!); black on one end, a shimmery brown on the other!  Brilliant!

What was in your Maven box?

My Julep Maven July Mystery Box ~ Unwrapped

Hi lovelies!  As you should know, I'm addicted to Julep Maven boxes, I receive and post them here monthly!  Now I normally skip out on their monthly-ish mystery boxes, where for $X you'll receive over $Y worth of product.  But this month was different.  There were 3 options.  Summer Days, Summer Nights, and Day & Night.  The first two were $25 and promised $70 - $200 worth of product.  Now the third, dubbed the Big Box, was $40 and promised $125 - $300 worth of product.  So I did what any sane nail polish addict would do and ordered the big box :)  Wanna see what I got?  Click to check it out!

April Julep Maven Window Is Open!

Hi lovelies!  Ahhh yesterday was March 20, meaning the Julep Maven monthly window opens, where you can view the month's collection, see what's in your profile box and switch profiles or skip the month and not be charged.  (Brilliant, really, isn't it?)  Otherwise, you'll pay $19.99 for about $40+ worth of product!

This month's theme is 'Turn on the Brights' and the full sized beauty product we're receiving is this rad nail and cuticle serum pen, along with the polish colors (this totally depends on your profile).  There's also a Dry Clean dry shampoo, available as an add on or in the Modern Beauty box.  Here's the hard part: what do I order?  I'm a boho glam, so my colors this month are Kaylen and Lena (see all the colors, above).  I really love the colors, and think I'll be sticking with them.

What profile are you?  Which box are you getting?

Don't forget, sign up here and get your first box for FREE with code FREEBOX!

New Addiction ~ Julep Maven!

Hiya lovelies!  I'm back, and better than ever!  Did you miss me?  I missed me!  And I missed you all terribly.  

I finally jumped on board and signed up for Julep Maven, where for $19.99 a month you get at least $40 worth of nail care products.  If you haven't signed up yet, do so now, and get your first box for only $1 when you enter code SHAREONFEB at checkout!  I am officially hooked!  The quality of these polishes is phenomenal.  You get full coverage after a single coat, I did use two coats though.  So here's what I got in my January American Beauty Julep Maven Box.
