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 came with a fold out sheet detailing their latest beauty item - the whipped matte lip mousse.
Julep Nail Color in Tish – Retail Value $14
This is a full-coverage micro-glitter. Here it is on (from Julep):
This seems so festive and already has me thinking of New Year's Eve!
Julep Orbital Eyeshadow in Eclipse - Value $18
This slate color also has pearlescence in the formula, and I think the result is wearable smoky, subtly shimmery color. The pigment is pretty good, but I would definitely recommend wearing it with a quality eyelid primer. (Swatched in later photo).
Julep It's Whipped Matte Lip Mousse in Kiss Me - Value $20
I was excited to try this new product, and I think it was named well! It has a matte finish while still being somewhat moisturizing. The color is gorgeous and the pigment is great too. The only thing I had an issue with is that this isn't an "all day wear" product like it says in the description. (To be fair, I don't think I've found any lip product that really lives up to that promise). After eating I had to completely reapply the product. Not a big deal - but thought it was worth mentioning.

This box also came with bonus candy and a coupon code for $10 off your next Julep order of $20 or more. (Expires January 31st, 2016).
Verdict: I think this is a perfect holiday box from Julep. Festive polish, sparkly smoky eye, and a berry lip - they've covered it all! What do you think of the December 2015 Julep Maven box? Which items did you pick this month?
