Julep Maven Review & Free Box Coupon Code – July 2017

I just did that! Still waiting to get my polishes!

LOL! I received a BEAUTIFUL boxed set…and I couldn’t bare to break the set. I ended up swapping it whole so someone else could destroy it’s perfection. The swapper even sent me a message saying that it was more gorgeous in person than even in the picture. Their boxed sets can be absolute stunners.
And if you are new, you are in for a treat! Later in the year they bring out more boxed sets that you can normally get for half price. The Zodiac sets and the birthstone sets are to-die-for. Julep does nail polish sooooo well. I can’t wait for them to bring out some sparkly lip glosses (I am no fan of traditional lip colors).

I like Julep, but I wish I would have waited for another offer before I signed up. The nail polishes I received in the nice box are mostly awful. Mine has multiple shades of blue and orange. Yuck!

They used to send a well-curated set of 12 polishes, but it seems to have gotten more random over the course of this year. My first non-monthly box order was completely screwed up – I got someone else’s order entirely, and wow, they had different taste than me! The customer service was great – I got to keep the mistake box of 10 polishes and other stuff, and they expedited my order to me.

That’s a shame. I don’t think they do things like that intentionally, but you would hope that they learn to mention that fact in the fine-print somewhere. I stopped getting their mystery boxes because I didn’t like 90% of the colors that I was sent.
The good thing about being a subscriber is that you can customize EVERYTHING each month. They will make a selection for you, but you can change very item if you don’t like their choices. Also, you can easily skip a month. And you start accumulating points that can be used towards monthly boxes.
I have been really harsh toward Julep at times, but despite my temper tantrums Julep is one of my favorite subs so far.

Thank you so much, Brooke! I will try some of both of those next month. I usually don’t care for matte makeup on myself, but on the website the polish Sarai looked like a duochrome, just without the chrome, and sure enough, it’s a gorgeous green and blue, a little darker than a seafoam-type color. AND, in full sunlight (or a really strong artificial light) there’s a little shimmery effect going on. Love!

Yes, I have used amost all of their skincare. and it is great (and also affordable if you subscribe).
I love the Love Your Bare Face Hydrating Cleansing Oil, and I don’t normally like oils for my face. I am out of it and actually miss it, so I am going to get some more.
What Your Skin Needs Restorative Facial Milk is great, but I use much more than a “few drops”.
No Limits Luxe Hydrating Crème is a basic, but effective moisturizer that I really like.
No Excuses Invisible Sunscreen Gel is fabulous…but I want a higher SPF for me.
Night Shift Deep Sleep Facial Mask is very rich, but I found it a little greasy for me (it got in my very fine hair overnight).
Love Your Bare Face Detoxifying Cleansing Stick was a miss for me (I was surprised).
The only thing I haven’t tried is Boost Your Radiance Reparative Rosehip Seed Facial Oil (I wish I hadn’t swapped it, as Julep’s skincare line is really good).
I have tried so many skincare brands (including La Mer, etc.) and I give Julep the thumbs up over so many overpriced brands. I have allergies and sensitive skin, and nothing has made me break out or has made my eyes red. I am also a 50-ish skincare junky.
I also swear by their Rethink Your Shower Body Wash/Oil…and I can’t find it on their site!!! I will have to be more careful of my stash of it, as it is fantastic for our dry Montana winters,and winter is coming! (I can’t believe I was able to salute GOT just then #FanGirlGoals).
There is a new sub that I have been tempted to sign up for, and that is Beauty Pie. I am reading a lot of really incredible reviews of their products, and it is inevitable that I am going to subscribe once I can whittle down my current skincare supplies.

I’ve been with them 3 months, bought 6 add ons every month and placed two orders besides…two times they have sent me polish that were dried out and a third full, and forgot my add on bonus gift this month, then they forgot an item in my first month box…I dont know what to think…some of the polishes I get (jelly) just peel right off in whole chunks off my nail, some polishes are streaky and don’t dry down no matter what…BUT then there are a few that I love, and the whipped lipstick is phenomenal. .so I’m going to stay and hang with their skin care (rose oil is nice too) since I’ve got 49 polishes so far, so I’m excited to try more of their makeup Line now

I’ve been a subscriber nearly a year and until this month only been missing one item. This month I ordered two sets of the whole shebang each set with 7 nail polishes, 8 glosses, an eyeliner, and nail decays. All 34 pieces were missing from my box. I emailed no response. I called they sent me what they had in stock which took forever to arrive just got yesterday. Still waiting on the other 4 pieces. I’ve had a lot of problems with FabFitFun been a subscriber a year. My first box was missing an item they never did send the replacement. My third box hair product spilled everywhere on everything no replacement. I feel the same way. Why do I consistently have problems? At least Julep resolves the issues. FabFitFun never has I’ve considered cancelling because of it.

Thank you so much, Jo and Melissa and Kathy and Shelby! I will definitely be trying (over a dropcloth!) to swatch my collection this weekend!

The caps mostly come off with a firm pull. Once in a while i have to twist a little to loosen it up initially, but I have never had trouble with a cap after that first time.

Jelly is somewhat translucent, which means you get amazing depth with 2-3 thin layers. The stardust is a little rough and has a matte finish. The matte polishes are really gorgeous, too. The color just glows with intensity.

Sometimes the caps can be hard to get off. I usually loosen the bottle a little and then gently try to wiggle it off. Be careful though because the first time I tried to take the cap off I broke the bottle- polish everywhere- it was a terrible mess!

This isn’t the best guide I’ve ever seen to nail polish finishes, but it’s the only one I can find at the moment. Yes, sometimes Julep does try to be creative and come up with their own names for finishes, too. Jo’s reply is very good. I just thought I would give you a broader overview. Julep’s “Stardust” finish is similar to Zoya “pixie dust” if you have seen it.
