Julep Maven Review & Free Box Coupon Code – January 2016

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?
Written by Liz Cadman
Julep forgot 3 of my polishes in my box this month. Two were actual picks for the actual box (Scout and Merika). One was an add-on. They sent me an email about Scout, but I’ve emailed them about the other two. Waiting on an answer from CS. I’m bummed. I sent them a picture of what I received but I’m not sure how I can actually prove that I didn’t receive 3 polishes. :/
I got the $10 off $20 coupon, also!
I’m really excited to try Shay, I think it’s gorgeous! I didn’t get Joss because I think it looks too much like Blakely — and I’ve already had an extra of that which I pawned off on a cousin.
I got the new moisurizer and just had to press a gew times tonget it started. It is so moisturizing. Its my new fav!!
I got the $10 off $20 coupon too. I love the new colors! Of course, I love most of Julep’s colors, and I keep buying them.
I got Shay and was referring to it as my mermaid nail polish too, so I love that you said the same. Haha
Haha! Love it! 🙂
I got a different coupon – 10$ off my next secret shop purchase of $20 or more through March 15th. One of the colors I got was Sylvie (super pink glitter) and OMG I’m in love.
Somehow I ended up with three polishes, an eyeliner, and some nail decals. One of the polishes may have been an add-on with Jules. Actually, they sent me one of the wrong polishes but before I even got my box, they sent an e-mail promising the right one (and I could keep the extra). I don’t need any more lippies, though one could also argue I don’t need any more polish…
Definitely Mermaid colors 🙂
I just love Julep, going to have to try that lip crayon/balm next time.
