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 items 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).

And each month they include a little bonus item like a piece of candy, but this month it's a free nail polish!
Julep Nail Polish in Jane - Retail Value $14
This polish is a "Full-Coverage Rose Gold Multidimensional Glitter." It's close to bronze on the scale of Rose Gold shades, and super festive!
Tip: you can pull the caps off of Julep polishes so that you can swatch the sticker on the top!
Now, for the items I picked this month:
Julep Nail Polish in Kayleigh - Retail Value $14
This nail polish is described as a "Holly Berry Iridescent Shimmer," and it is the perfect red for the holidays.
Swatched in lower photo.
Julep Nail Polish in Addi - Retail Value $14
This shade is a "Lustrous Silver Metallic." It's super shimmery and catches the light beautifully.
Here are the nail polish shades on:
One coat full-coverage for all shades!
Julep Matte Lip Mousse in Lip Lock - Retail Value $20
I've tried this liquid lipstick before and I love the formula, so I decided to get another shade that's a bit more "berry" than my typical color.
The formula is highly pigmented, with a matte finish, and the staying power is great. Plus, I love how it doesn't dry out my lips!
Here it is swatched:
Verdict: I'm happy with all my choices this month! I normally stick to neutrals when I pick out nail polish, but for December I thought a bright red and silver were perfect for the holidays! And I knew the liquid lipstick would be a win, too! This box has a retail value of $62, and I think that's a great deal for a $24.99 box you can completely customize.
I highly recommend this subscription if you love nail polish and/or you like having control over your beauty box items! (And I also recommend doing the 3-month subscription at $19.99 a month for better savings!)
