My November Julep Maven Box arrived a few days ago and I kind of delaying writing this review because it has SO many products in it this month. That is not a bad thing at all. I just wasn’t sure were to begin with it all!
I am so glad that Julep is still using Priority Mail for their monthly Maven boxes. I know they use DHL Global mail for all mystery boxes / shop purchases and that stuff always takes so long for it to arrive to me. I’m talking two days with Priority Mail compared to almost two weeks with DHL.
Seriously there was so much this box! I upgraded to the Ultimate Collection when the selection window was open because I wanted ALL the lip glosses from this month, but I didn’t remember exactly how many there were. WOW! I believe that the Full Collection included all of the polishes plus one lip gloss and the lip plumper this month.
The November Julep Maven theme was “Right at Home” Collection and included nine polishes, five glosses and the Blank Canvas Lip Plumping Primer. Here are all the details:
~Alexandra – Boho Glam( $14 / $11.20): Alexandra is a blonde crème and while I think the color is gorgeous, it will probably work best for me under a glitter.
~Aisha – Boho Glam ($14 / $11.20): Aisha is a wildberry purple crème. Perfect seasonal I think, but it won’t be the first one I grab from this collection.
~Brielle – Bombshell ($14 / $11.20): Brielle is a deep autumn orange crème and I am loving it! I plan to use this one on my toes asap.
~Nic – Bombshell ($14 / $11.20): Nic is a black crimson crème and is hands down, my favorite polish from this month’s collection. I love it. I like super dark polishes better because they are hide my polishing mistakes much better.
~Cynthia – Classic With a Twist: ($14 / $11.20). Cynthia is a desert sand micro glitter and while it’s totally something I would normally pick I love it. It reminds me of that bodysuit that Britney Spears who at the VMA’s.
~Shelia – Classic with a Twist ($14 / $11.20): Shelia is a cherry pie red crème. It’s more red than it looks in my picture and I always love getting a new fresh red polish.
~Chloe – It Girl ($14 / $11.20): Chloe is a warm cocoa frost and I’m kinda just so-so on it. I don’t love it, but I don’t hate it either.
~Lola – It Girl ($14 / $11.20): Lola is a moonlit night blue satin. I have a navy Julep that I love, but maybe I need two? That reminds me. I should take a picture of all my Julep polishes. It will likely take me a week to properly color coordinate them (B still hasn’t hung those shelves for me), but it’ll happen I promise.
~Winter – It Girl ($14 / $11.20): Winter is a grey cloud crème and I am thinking it will be perfect with glitter around the top of the nail.
~Blank Canvas Plumping Lip Primer ($22/ $17.60): This is a “multi-tasking marvel that plumps, moisturizes, and preps lips for flawless color application”. And while I loved it when it was on, I totally do not like the applicator. It took me seriously 30 clicks to get it started and then once it started it would NOT stop coming out. Seriously. It was oozing everywhere. Did anyone else have this issue? I finally just tossed it because it wouldn’t stop. I haven’t contacted Julep yet, but I plan too.
~The Glosses ($22/each / $17.60/each): I really liked these glosses. They went on sheer, but gave just enough color to make them work. I don’t love the actual container, but considering they don’t ooze everywhere, I am happy with them!
~Add On: Autumn – It Girl ($14 / $11.20): Autumn is a burnt red-orange multidimensional glitter top coat and when I saw it as an add-on option, I knew I had to get it. It’s not a thick glitter and will work with so many thing from this collection.
Did you get a Julep Maven Right at Home box this month? Julep boxes are $20/month, but I opted for the Ultimate Collection this month, which added an additional $55 to that. So for $75, I received $258 worth of products (or $206.40 if you use Maven pricing). That works out to what, $5 an item? Hard to beat.
What was your favorite color in the box and what collection did you opt for? Did you get any add-ons? If you are interested in signing up, or just want to learn more, click here. And, as always, you can use code “FREEBOX” to score your first box FREE (you pay shipping which I think is $3.99). If you want to see if how you like the Julep colors / formulas, this is the best way!
