Lately it seems like Julep's mystery boxes have been improving in curation, so even though I don't need any more nail polish, I couldn't resist their latest I Woke Up Like This Mystery Box.
My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).
The Box: I Woke Up Like This Mystery Box (No longer available)
The Cost: $24.99
The Products: Start 2015 off right with over $100 of back-to-the-basics beauty and refreshing color, including limited-edition Tanith (Classic with a Twist), a warm putty with gold microglitter.
Julep Nail Color in Shari - Retail Value $14
Julep Nail Color in Aurora - Retail Value $14
Julep Nail Color in Tanith - Retail Value $14
I couldn't be happier with these colors! I love the exclusive Tanith color made for this mystery box (described as a warm putty with gold micro-glitter). And the other two shades look beautiful with Tanith - the color choices for this mystery box feel as deliberate as the monthly Maven collections.
Julep Blank Canvas Plumping Lip Primer - Retail Value $22
Julep Plush Pout Lip Crayon in Aurora - Retail Value $16
This Plush Pout Lip Crayon is one of my favorite Julep beauty items ever - so I'm thrilled to get it in another color. It's a light and moisturizing lip crayon, with a good amount of pigment.
The lip primer I'm not too crazy about - partly because I don't usually use a primer on my lips, and I'm just not crazy about the formula anyway.
Julep Night Shift Sleeping Mask - Retail Value $34
I've been meaning to try the Sleeping Mask since I received it a few months ago, so I suppose this is a good reminder. If you've tried it and recommend it let me know!
Verdict: This box has a retail value of $114. Even though I wouldn't pay full retail value for this items, I definitely think the box is worth the $25 I spent on it. And I'm really thrilled to see that Julep has been doing a better job at curating these boxes lately. (In the past I used to warn in mystery box posts that the nail colors would typically be random from past seasons).
Did you get a Mystery Box this time? What did you think of it?
