Julep Maven is a monthly nail polish and beauty subscription box. They make all their own products, so subscribers get a good value each month – over $40 retail worth of product for $24.99 a month.
And, if you sign up for 3-months up front, you get the $19.99 rate.
Each month Julep releases a new collection on the 20th, and you can decide which box you want, you can upgrade to the entire collection, or you can skip that month.

This box included an info card detailing their newest beauty product - the creme-to-powder blush stick.
Julep Nail Color in Penny – Value $14
Julep Nail Color in Ann – Value $14
I'm happy with both of these shades (they're the Classic with a Twist colors for this month). The Penny shade is a copper/bronze shimmery metallic - I like that it isn't a straight up copper color like the name might suggest.
This Ann color has a very subtle microshimmer mixed in with the creme formula - Julep refers to it as a "ghost shimmer creme."
Skip the Brush Creme-to-Powder Blush Stick in Moonlit Sand - Value $24
Maybe it is the part of me that doesn't want to ever grow up, but I always seem to like makeup products that are basically big crayons!
This blush is really easy to apply, and the color I picked is somewhat subtle, so I don't have to worry about overdoing it. It's also pretty easy to blend. Here is a swatch:
This formula has some shimmer in it, so it catches the light. I'll probably use this as a brow bone highlighter too.
This month's bonus item is a set of mini flash tattoos. I love that these are small enough that you can use them on nails. (They work both on skin or nails). Maybe I've finally found a version of flash tattoos I'll wear!
And this box included a coupon for 30% off your next order at Julep.com.
Verdict: I'm happy with my box picks this month. I really like the shade of the blush stick I picked out, and now I'm thinking about trying more shades! What did you pick from Julep for August? Do you like the creme-to-powder stick?
