I have been so good about passing up the Julep Mystery Boxes lately, but their most recent Cupid’s Mystery Box was just too exciting for me to pass up! They offered three different box options this time, each of which were packed with $75 of product. I opted for the “Venus, Mani Lover” which was promised to be packed with $75 of mani-themed polish and product, including a bottle of Venus – Bombshell, a pink quartz holographic chunky glitter top coat.
Julep ships via DHL Global Mail which is slow. It took eight days for it to arrive from Washington. I guess that’s about normal for them, but I thought it too a while.
I hadn’t gotten a good look at many Julep Mystery Boxes so I couldn’t wait to dig into this one. I was thrilled to see that it was packed with products! I had a code for a free polish (you get a free polish for taking three Julep boxes in a row I believe) so that came in this box too, but I won’t include it in the review.
The Mystery Box didn’t come with an information card, just a packing slip, but here’s what was inside:
~Rock Star Hand Cream ($5.33): This is more of a travel sized hand cream, but I am still happy about it. It’s a great hand cream and I will for sure be using it.
~Mighty Nail & Cuticle Serum ($22.40): I received this in the Spring in my monthly Maven box and I quite enjoyed it so I was more than happy to get another one. It’s kind of an expensive item and one I normally wouldn’t buy on my own, so it was nice to see it in here.
~Freedom Top Coat ($14.40): Julep doesn’t make my favorite top coat, but I do like it well enough. I really need to try and use a top coat more!
~Venus, America, Bette & Madison ($32.38): It’s possible that I already have Bette and Madison, but I am not totally sure. I feel like I don’t, but that seems crazy that I would get all four colors that I don’t already have! I love love love “America the Beautiful” and had no idea it was on sale for $2.99 right now! And of course, I love the “Venus” glitter which is pretty much why I opted for this box in the first place.
All totaled, using discounted Julep Maven pricing, I came up with a value of $74.51 for the Venus Cupid’s Mystery Box. Since I only paid $24.99 for this box I am very pleased with it. And this will probably lead me into buying even more Julep Mystery Boxes which I was doing SO good at avoiding. Not anymore!
