Along with a zillion others, my May Julep Maven box arrived yesterday. Although I knew exactly what was in it, it was one of the ones I opened first. I like to check out the polishes in person right away!
One of these months I am going to win the Golden Box or whatever they call it. I feel like if I subscribe long enough, it’s bound to happen!
As always, I love the Julep packaging. It’s always the same box, but the inside materials always coordinate with the theme!
I had mixed feelings about the May Julep Maven box. While I liked (okay loved) the colors and the “Set the Stage” theme, I felt like it would have been a better fit for like January or February. It kinda all reminds me of Old Hollywood, the Oscars, etc.
~Julep Clara ($14): Clara is a opaque peach creme and is unlike any color I have. I gotta get some self tanner on to make this color look even better!
~Julep Coco: Coco is a oxblood crème and I am obsessed with it. I love super dark polishes and want it to be fall so I can put this on. I mean, I can use it now, but I like darker colors in the fall. I’ve had enough of winter here and dark colors remind me of the cold!
~Julep Paris ($14): Paris is a multidimensional holographic glitter top coat and is the entire reason I got the It Girl box. It’s so pretty and will make any polish that I think is just meh a total winner! LOVE this. LOVE.
~Julep Flower Bobby Pins ($5 – est.): This month’s extra item is flowered bobby pins. I am kinda just meh on them but if i had a little girl, I think I’d be way more excited!!! They are super cute, but just not me you know?
All totaled, my May Julep Maven “It Girl” box had a value of $47. I paid only $19.99 for the box, so it’s a great deal as always. Listen, I am guilty of purchasing one polish that costs more than $19.99, so this is a good box for me ;).
Did you get the May Julep Maven box? Which Maven profile did you get this month? And, if you live in Seattle or the surrounding area, have you ever been to a Julep Parlor? I totally want to go one day! If you are interested in signing up for Julep or just want to learn more, click here. And don’t forget to use code “FREEBOX” to get your first box free! You just pay shipping of $3.95!!!
It syncs with the Great Gatsby release. And Kentucky Derby this weekend too. I think the box is totally on trend! I did not have time to go to a Julep parlor during my Seattle trip last week. What a bummer. Funny enough there is a Butter nail salon in the airport! Post IRL pics of the Paris on your nails!

I got my Julep box a few days ago. I was not really digging the polishes so I stuck with my usual Classic with a Twist. I should have gotten a box with 3 polishes instead of the lipsticks. I won’t use the lipsticks. But, I love my polishes!!!!
I skipped this month. The colors just didn’t grab me and I didn’t want the lipsticks. After seeing your extra I’m kindof glad. I love my Julep polish but I feel that I really love about every other month. 🙂 oh and of course the mystery boxes. I can’t skip those. LOL
When I took the quiz I got the bombshell maven and I have stuck with that box each month so far. I also added on the Paris because I loved it! Still waiting for my add on box to ship, usually it’s not far behind the main box which came Tuesday.
I love that coco colour!!
I have a Julep Maven subscription too, but skipped this month. My daughter wanted her nails painted blue, and when I looked through my polish, found no less than 7 shades of blue. Uh yeah, that’s when I realized I have entirely too many bottles of nail polish. I LOVE that Julep Coco, though. Maybe just one more!?
Did you order any add ons? This was my first month and I am assuming they ship separately? I got a shipping notification but it still hasn’t shipped and my secret store order that was placed days after is already on its way.
That sparkly nail polish looks pretty awesome! I picked the Boho Glam Box option for May… I picked it for the lipsticks! And they are soooo cute! And pretty and I love them! 🙂 Personally I really like the little hair clips. And they came at a perfect time! I got home from work, found my box and it just so happens there was “French” inspired party at work that night I was going back to (free alcohol and food of course I went). And I thought these were perfect. I have tons of hair and once it was all curled they were a subtle little finishing touch! 🙂
these hair pins were my favorite part of the box! of course they will probably just sit in my jewelry box forever, but I love them. I’m not a “girlie” girl so I’ve always missed out on wearing cute hair accessories. I’m covered in tattoos so I feel kind of silly trying to look cute. haha but whatever, I will wear them around my house!
I got the same box. I have no use for lipsticks. I do live near a Julep Parlor and will be visiting them soon. Even better? They have mani/pedi’s for girls under 8. Mommy/daughter date! Oh, and despite the fact that I live right outside Seattle, my Julep took longer to get here than my Stork Stack. Crazy!
