I've Become a Julep Maven!


One of my friends has had a Julep subscription for a while, and after seeing the cool stuff she got every month I decided to join too. The subscription is $20.00 a month with free shipping, and with that price you can get either 3 nail polishes, 2 nail polishes and a beauty product, or 3 beauty products. Julep nail polishes retail for $15.00 online and at Sephora, so I thought it was a pretty good deal. You also get to see what is in your box each month ahead of time and can decide to skip that month (with no penalty) if you do not like the products. That was another reason I decided to sign up. I liked that I could skip some months if I decided I didn't like any of the polishes, or that I had enough nail polish and didn't need any more for the year.

When you sign up they ask you to take a quiz in order to create a "Style Profile." This way they can suggest polish shades for you every month that they think you will like. On the 20th of every month the boxes will become revealed and you will be able to see what items were placed in your box. If you don't like the box you were given you can switch for another style profile box that you like better. Once you choose your box you will be able to add on up to 3 other products from the month's collection for a third of the original price. This is what kills me because I find it impossible to turn down polishes for $5.99 when they are originally $14.99. Last month I shamelessly added three extra gorgeous shades to my box and the company just adds the cost of your add on products to the original $20.00 that you are paying. The boxes get shipped around the 27th of every month and take about 10-15 days for you to receive them. It is between the 20th and the 27th of the month that you would "skip" your box that month if you do not like the items in the month's collection.

When you first sign up you get a beginners box in addition to the box that is shipped that month. This box is free when you enter the coupon code "FREEBOX"  at the checkout. This box comes with two polishes, and a product (I received a moisturising serum). Before cashing out they also gave you the option to add on products so I could not resist adding a nail polish duo set to my box since I was getting the original box for free. Below you will see my beginners box that I just got in the mail and everything that came inside.

So this is how the box looked when I got it:
                                    



This is all the exciting stuff that came inside!


Here is each product in more detail  (how cute is it that they put in candy corn!) :
This is a moisturising serum for your body

These are halloween nail stickers

Candy corn for Halloween!

These are the 2 shades that came with my beginner's box
The left is "Padma" which is a pretty shiny dark purple
The right is "Florence" which is a pretty cream colour

Here are the 2 polishes that I added on for $9.99. I think the duo is called "Party Girls"
The polish on the left is "paris" which is a gorgeous gold glitter 
The polish on the right is "gayle" which is a pretty plum shade.

And here are the 4 polishes that I received all together:

So as you can see I think it was definitely a good deal. I got all this stuff for only $9.99! The colours are soo pretty and I cannot wait to paint my nails with these. I think the cream colour and the glitter would be so cute together.
 I have already picked my box for the month of November and the colours were GORGEOUS. The box shipped a few days ago and I cannot wait to get it in the mail. I will do another post when I get my November box showing you all the great stuff I got.
