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.
My Subscription Addiction pays for this subscription. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

This box came with a fold out sheet detailing the beauty item for the month and the new colors launched.
Julep Nail Color in Joss – Retail Value $14
Julep Nail Color in Shay – Retail Value $14
Joss is described as a "Ripe fig duochrome," and Shay is a "Celadon iridescent chrome." I prefer to just call them my new mermaid colors!
Here are both on (from Julep):
Julep It's Balm Full Coverage Lip Crayon in Nectar Pink Creme - Retail Value $20
This lip crayon has a moisturizing lip balm core:
So the formula is part lip crayon, part lip balm. I like the result a lot - it gives color and a good amount of moisture, and it's one of those lip products you can apply without having to look in a mirror! Here it is swatched:
(That's several swipes for color)
This box also came with bonus candy and a coupon code for a free It's Whipped Lip product with your purchase of $20 ore more (Expires February 29th, 2016).
Verdict: I'm happy with my selections this month. I was curious about their new moisturizer, but looking at the reviews on their site, it looks like it has some packaging issues, so maybe it is a good thing that I decided to go with the lip balm this month! What do you think of the January 2016 Julep Maven box? Which items did you pick this month?
