Julep Maven Review & Promo Code – January 2014

Got my first Julep box last week and I love it! I got the cuticle oil and it’s exactly what I needed for my dry cuticles that keep splitting. The polishes are gorgeous, and I got a sample of makeup primer as well. I got the box free with the code FREEBOX, but idk if I’d pay $20 for it? I’m going to see how February goes and decide then. I got one friend to sign up so far and I’m begging begging begging all my girls to sign up and earn me another free box!!

I am actually loving my January Julep box. Great colors and addons!

I haven’t read all the comments, but did anyone else get the little sponges?? Here is a link to what I got for pictures:

This was my third box from Julep and, so far, my favorite. I chose Classic With a Twist (Abigail and Mona), and was able to add Margot for free with my Jules, which was AWESOME. I couldn’t decide which polish to wear first, so I’m currently sporting Abigail and Margot on every other nail. Both are stunning. I love the quick dry drops; they’re effective and the scent is so pretty. The 2 little orange-scented buffers are very handy and create a nice smooth base for the polish. My only regret is not getting the cuticle softener!

New question: when you are given the option to upgrade do they tell you everything in the upgrade or is that a surprise?

I just joined and ordered my first box but was not given this upgrade option. How do I get all this stuff?

I heard of this box through my sister and friends. I got “classic with a twist”. Then I also discovered square hue on this website last month and subscribed to it. My square hue first box arrived a few days ago–I have to say, I really like the colors, formula and even the bottles better. The long Julep brush leaves a big drop of polish dripping on my nail.

Got Classic with a Twist plus the Cuticle set. Love the polish colors, but not so fond of the satin finish. SO, For the Abigale satin finish I put a top coat of Vanessa which is a holographic micro glitter. Result is a soft snowy look- which I really like a lot. Have not tried out the other one yet.

I received the Modern Beauty box because I always have ridiculously overgrown cuticles. I absolutely loved the remover. I also got Margot, because I’m a sucker for gold. I’m just sad I didn’t get to pick up the cuticle tool because it sold out so fast. I’ll be on the lookout for it. 🙂

This month was my first box – I actually just discovered the subscription box world while browsing a freebie site where Julep boxes came up! I received the bombshell box based on the survey I took – I didn’t even realize I could choose differently LOL. The 2 polishes I got were Kendra and Zelda – I tried out Kendra today – not really my taste in color, but it looks like a really nice polish, and just opening the box is the most fun part!! I think I’m going to be hooked!

Just received my box as well and I love it! I also upgraded and the collection is just beautiful. I’m having a hard time trying to figure out which color to put on first. Liz, you’re right about the Resort collection. It’s really cute and really small, but I like it. I’ve never tried the quick dry drops or the cuticle oil so it’s exciting to try them for the first time. Julep once again got me and I love their current collection!

I got the Bombshell box and added Farrah from the It Girl box. Margot is absolutely gorgeous, I used it for some New Years nails!

I got the “Bombshell” set…and I am NOT AT ALL into the “satin” finish polishes. I put on “Mae” and was so underwhelmed. It just looked…blah and messy on me…Like I painted my nails with correction fluid from the office. I put a top coat on so it rescued the color. I guess I’m just a shiny polish type of girl.

I like the drying drops a lot…I am also using the repair serum daily and my skin looks nice…although its a little oily.

I got the modern beauty box this month, really wanted to try both the ta-da and vanish and the cuticle oil was just a good bonus especially since I wasn’t a big fan of the colors. The vanish is terrific, I’m definitely happy with my choice this month.

I love the colors this month and also got the Resort Collection add-on. I’d never tried the Freedom Polymer Topcoat before, and I think maybe my bottle is not the best quality? I tried a bit of it alone on a bare nail, and it didn’t seem shiny at all. I used it as a basecoat instead and was happy with the results there, so at least it’ll go to good use.

I received my box last week and really liked it. I chose “Classic w/a Twist,” which featured the colors Abigail and Mona. Both are really nice. I tried the drops and LOVE the lavender scent. The scent is very strong, but thankfully lavender is my favorite scent. The box also came with two little nail buffers.

I love my Julep January box (& every box). I’m lovin my Hannah color.
