My October Julep was waiting for me when I got home from my trip, however, I had gotten an e-mail saying that it was missing the mask that should have been included in it, so I waited to do the review.
My Julep shipped via USPS Priority Mail this month, which kind of surprised me since I thought they were using DHL Global Mail now? Maybe not for Maven shipments? I’m not sure? I purchased some sea salt spray (love that stuff) and it took nearly two weeks to arrive with DHL. This is way better ;)!
Had I not gotten an e-mail from Julep, I don’t think I even would have known that I was missing an item. My box was nice and full from a few extras that I got! I would have realized it eventually, but it would have taken a bit!
The October Julep theme is “The Rebel Set” and is described as a collection to lighten up your dark side. I upgraded to the fill collection and this is what I received:
~Dahlia (Boho Glam) ($11.20 / $14): Dahlia is a goldenrod microglitter. If there is a glitter in the Julep collection, I must get it. This one reminds me of the yellow brick road in the Wizard of Oz. Maybe that’s why I love it so much?
~Stevie (Boho Glam) ($11.20 / $14): Stevie is a concrete gray frost and is has a hint of purple / blue in it. It’s certainly not concrete like my driveway or anything.
~Valerie (Bombshell) ($11.20 / $14): Valerie is a teal with iridescent microglitter. Sometimes I think it’s more blue and sometimes I think it’s more green. I just can’t tell.
~Cleopatra (Bombshell) ($11.20 / $14): Cleopatra is a black latex crème and I love it!!!! The darker the polish the better in my opinion. This is going on today with a Beatrix (it was one of my add-ons) topcoat!
~Winona (Classic with a Twist) ($11.20 / $14): Winona is a buff greige crème and is just kind of meh for me. I don’t love neutral polishes. Some people can pull them off. But not me.
~Anisa (Classic with a Twist) ($11.20 / $14): Anisa is a deep burgundy crème and I was expecting it to be much darker than it is. It’s a gorgeous color though and will be great for winter.
~Kendra (It Girl) ($11.20 / $14): Kendra is an army green frost and that’s exactly what it reminds me of. The army. It’s not a good thing or a bad thing, it just reminds me of the army.
~Ciara (It Girl) ($11.20 / $14): Ciara is a vampy magenta with teal microglitter and is one of my favorites in the entire collection. It’s the just a stunning color and I LOVE it. Depending on which way you look at it, you see more pink than teal. So pretty.
~Missy (It Girl) ($11.20 / $14): Missy is a titanium metallic and in keeping with my Wizard of Oz theme, reminds me of the tin man. I don’t know that I would wear this on all my nails at the same time, but I think it’ll work for an “accent” nail.
~Kajal Eye Glider & Sharpener ($17.60 / $22): This eye glider is “two intensely pigmented colors—carbon black and brown shimmer—that glide on smoothly and blend like a dream”. I plan on passing it along to a friend since I am not (at all) a huge eyeliner fan.
~Mask Noir ($25.60 / $32): Mask Noir is a peel-off mask of gentle kaolin clay and black volcanic ash. I cannot WAIT to use this tonight!!!
All totaled the October Julep “The Rebel Set” full collection had a value of $144 and that’s using Maven pricing! Regular boxes are $19.99/month and it’s only an additional $35? to upgrade to the full collection, which I always do because I NEED more nail polish ;).
