Julep Maven Review & Free Box Code – December 2014

Hi I was wondering about how the julup sub works, as far as the dates one needs to cancel by. I just today ordered their free month deal and I saw it said gift, I was confused whether the gift pictured is the free month or is that in addition to free month? I was wondering when I need to cancel by to ensure I don’t pay for the next full month subscription. Can anyone help me out Thanks

I thought I had been cancelled but they didn’t cancel me. I still had to get the box. Their customer service is terrible. I never had the option to select. Though I did try. Not even the eyeshadow. I am not sure what color, I got for the eyeshadow because they shipped it separate from my julep box.

I hated my black friday surprise! It was a yellowish green nail polish. That’s it. Then the surprise #2 was a reddish orange and a brown shimmery one. Slightly better. Neither one screamed holiday to me. More like old leftovers.

I’ve only been a Maven for a year now, but I already have about 80 Julep polishes. I’m at the point where almost every new color is a near-dupe for one of their polishes I already own. I love their formula but it’s getting harder and harder to find anything from them I’m interested in purchasing and I’ve been skipping most boxes for the past few months.

I’m not that interested in getting makeup items from them and I wish they’d offer more interesting finishes and colors. I love their stardust finishes and would probably buy it in just about any color. I would be in heaven if they came out with some multichromes, or more multi-colored toppers. I’d even be interested in scented polishes. I feel like there is so much more they could be doing, but perhaps I’m not their target customer.

I just signed up for Rainbow Honey’s mystery bag sub and thought I’d give it a try for at least a few months. I’m surprised I see so few reviews of it since the ones I do see seem to be positive.

I’m just glad Julep never took away my skip privileges and decided to go ahead and give them to other customers. It makes me much less likely to cancel my sub and instead hang in there until they come out with something that intrigues me.

I am SO obsessed with Julep right now. This is my first official month with them. I got the “free” intro Christmas nail polish and eyeliner with the intention of canceling because I really shouldn’t be paying $25 a month but I had no idea how awesome their makeup is (especially the eyeliner!!!) I never was even that crazy about nail polish but now I am.
I went a little overboard this month lol. I got Soleil, Sienna and Orbital Eyeshadow – Airglow because I am obsessed with all gold and glitter.
I LOVE the eyeshadow, wore it today.

I added on Fa La La Trio – Black Friday Preview (charisma (glittery red,winnie, and margot
Mystery Polish 1—Amira (silver glitter)
Mystery Polish 2—Alex (glittery purple)
Queen Anne (pink glitter)
And free gift for add ons—blank canvas plumping lip primer
and there were a couple other nail polishes in shades of purple and silk effect top coat. Not sure if these were also a free gift or an accident. Either way I am SUPER happy.
I have another order coming soon from cyber monday 50% off secret shop and got three of the secret surprises, argan oil, nail file, Cheers-Worthy Hands pack, Luxe Care Hand Crème, Luxe Repair Skin Serum, Julep Lip Gloss – Polished, Julep Lip Gloss – Charming…
Like I said I went crazy with them this month but all those with 50% off were such a great deal.

FYI, Crabtree and Evelyn is doing mystery boxes right now

Sienna is an older polish so I had that one. I got Bombshell and Airglow shadow. I have no choice but it use a wet brush. It has the worst fall-out of any shadow I’ve tried. Kind of disappointed about that. I had glitter all over my cheeks.
