Julep Mavens & Why YOU Should Be One, Too!

I am so glad that I finally took the leap and signed up for Julep’s Maven subscription box!  I only recently discovered the one-coat awesomeness that is Julep polish, but I was still resistant to signing up.  I’ve avoided most other subscription boxes like BirchBox and BarkBox as I couldn’t image that I’d actually want everything that came in each month’s box.  After talking to some other Mavens, I decided that I’d at least take advantage of the Free starter box offer and give it a couple of months to see if I’d really like it.

And man, do I?  I’ve only received two boxes so far – my starter box with It Girl style, and the February Maven Box.  I knew exactly what I would get in the starter box considering I picked it and it told me it would come with Elle, Libby, & Bunny (all the colors have women’s names).  I received it, nicely enough, and it also contained a little sample of Blank Canvas Mattifying Face Primer.  Cool bonus – I’ve been hearing more about using primers before foundation but didn’t want to pull the trigger on an expensive bottle, so now I can test it.  February’s box, I decided, would be a real test since I had no idea what I’d receive.

The box arrived yesterday and I was DEFINITELY happy with my score.  4 bottles of polish arrived, a very glittery, glam, sparkly selection, of Roc Solid (the one non-glitter), Diamond Theory, Glam Roc (which is “Stardust Finish”, the Julep version of a textured polish), and Love.  Instantly, I fell, well, in love with Love.  It’s pink but also champagne with delicate little red sparkles that aren’t overpowering – perfect for a quick Valentine’s Day manicure!

I won’t be redoing my nails until later today, but I always add new polishes to my reels when I get them, so take a look.  This quick picture doesn’t quite do the glittery goodness justice, but it’s close enough!  If you’re following me on Instagram, you’ll see a picture of my new mani later… not sure if I’m going to dive right into these Julep beauties or one of the other polishes I’ve picked up recently and been hoarding 🙂  Stay tuned!

So far I’m proud to be a Julep Maven.  Not only did I get some kick ass polishes, and definitely got my moneys worth, but I got a first look at their innovative Plié Wand and got in on the ground floor to reserve my set ahead of time!  More on that wonder later!

Julep Beauty’s Maven subscription box is definitely worth the price.  The polishes are one-coat perfection (mostly, some of these glitters needed 2 on my swatches) and getting them before they can be purchased makes ya feel special!  I mean, come on, check out these benefits!
