June Julep Maven Box

Yay for much better luck with my Julep box this month.

I have everything I ordered already.

This months theme is Sail into Summer, Nantucket Nostalgia Collection.

This month I decided to upgrade and get the whole collection. I really wanted the whole thing because of the DD Cream and DD Concealer. I also had to add on Bunny because it is part of the set and I needed it.

I'm in love with the look of the colors. I would swatch them but I'm having nail issues and I don't have any swatch sticks at the moment. So I will be using the stock photos from julep.com.

This is Bess ~ a baby blue creme~

This is Bunny ~ crisp white with micro gold glitter (you can't see the gold in the picture but you can in person) ~

 This is Char ~ nautical navy blue creme ~

This is Dianna ~ muted green creme ~

This is Kennedy ~ khaki creme ~

This is Lexie ~ dandelion yellow creme ~

This is Martha ~ polo pink creme ~

This is Nan ~ Nantucket red creme ~

This is Raegan ~ electric dark pink creme ~ 

This is Payton ~ kelly green creme ~

These are the DD Creme and DD Concealer ~ shade light ~

Over all I am very happy with this months collection with the exception of the DD products. I have fair skin. I'm not the lightest out there but I'm still fair. I like many went to the Julep Facebook page and was saw that they were saying that the color was blendable and would work with some blending. In my personally opinion that is not the case. When I opened up both the creme and concealer my first impression was that it looked much more like a light/medium but more of a medium shade that you would find in any BB/CC cream at your local drug store. I liked the packaging of both products and I'm looking forward to maybe getting tan enough that I might be able to use both of these products.

Julep Sea Salt Mystery Box

This month Julep was offering a mystery box with some limited edition polishes (from what I understand, I hope it is not true because I would love to get one of the other colors I didn't receive). 

They call them their Sea Salt Finish (they are a matte textured polish). Julep was offering 3 colors, a pink, a taupe, and a black. You pay $24.99 (if you are a Julep Maven you get free shipping) and get a box that is valued from $70 to $200. This time you where guaranteed at least one of the Sea Salt Finish polishes, so you knew before that you would get one of three polishes.

Of course I had (okay I didn't have to but limited edition polishes and the chance to win a $1000 Visa gift card I just didn't want to pass up.)

I received my mystery box in the mail and I love it.

I received box 7 (Julep had 11 different boxes with different options in each box). In my box I received Parker, Madeline (Sea Salt Finish), Sarah, and Melissa. I also got their Glow On Age Defying Hand Brightener, toe separators (not pictured), and a basic nail file (not pictured).

They also had the option to add on as many as 3 extras. I looked at everything and decided to add-on Julianne.

 Polishes swatches are from left to right: Parker is a lovely orange creme color, Madeline (Sea Salt Finish) is a baby pink, Sarah is a pink with glitter, and Melissa is sheer opalescent shimmer (it reminds me of like watches with the Mother of Pearl faces). My add-on Julianne is a grey blue color.

Sadly I didn't get the $1000 Visa gift card. I wished I would have gotten it but hey it is like playing the lottery so I hoped I would be the lucky winner but it wasn't my turn this time, someday I will get it. :)

I was so stocked when I opened my box to see what polishes I received because out of the 3 Sea Salt Textured polishes I really wanted the pink one (shocker) so when I saw that it was the one I received I was so happy.

Over all I am overall happy with everything that I received and I will more than likely be picking up the next one because I have a nail polish addiction and I can't pass up a chance at getting a good amount of polish for a amazing price.

April Julep Maven Box

This month's theme for the Julep Maven box was

I decided this month to just stick with my style profile which is

Classic with a Twist

I also decided to add on 

Abbie

and

Lena

 I was in love with the pink in my box this month. Not that I don't have a hundred and 1 pinks already. 

I had to add Lena because it just looks so beautiful and I don't have any yellow polish (not sure how that happened) so I could not pass up on getting Abbie.

I love the rock candy sucker they added in as a little treat. I loved getting them growing up.

If you would like to try Julep you can get your first box for a penny $.01 plus tax (my first box cost me $4.00 total) just use the coupon code JULEPVIP.
