Julep Maven is a nail polish and beauty subscription box. Every month they have 5 different boxes you can choose from for $19.99 or you can upgrade for an additional $30 to get the entire collection. Almost every month I splurge and do the upgrade. I resisted for the August month though, I guess I just wasn't feeling all the colors? I did buy an add-on though!
I'm really pleased with Julep's new packaging - this month is celebrating their two-year anniversary, but I hope the bright box color trend continues!
Another change that Julep made - Add-ons now ship with your subscription box. (In the past these usually shipped separately). If you aren't familiar with Julep Add-ons, after you select your Maven box for the month, you have the option to add on different nail polish colors, sets or other beauty items at deep discounted prices!

Forget-Me-Not-Seeds - Bonus Item
Julep DoubleStep Foot Treatment and Friction Stick - Value $22
Every month Julep includes a little surprise item in the boxes. It ranges anywhere from candy to lip balm. The message on these seeds: "Thanks for helping us grow into something beautiful." I'm not sure I'll use these seeds - I wish I had a green thumb. But the idea is cute!
I am excited to try this DoubleStep though. It has a nice peppermint scent, and it's paraben and sulfate free!
Julep Nail Color in Francis - Value $14
Julep Nail Color in Lois - Value $14
The Champagne Trio (Amity, Clio & Reiko) - Value $42 (Add-on)
Is it bad that my favorite item in this month's box is the add-on? I love the packaging of the colors of this Champagne Trio. Now I wish I had bought two so I could gift one for a celebratory event!
Verdict: I paid $19.99 for the August Julep Maven box (plus add-on costs, I think either $14.99 or $19.99) and I'm very happy with the value of this box. I'm hoping that the September colors for next month wow me - unboxing the whole collection is definitely fun! Did you upgrade this month? What was your favorite product in the box?
