My March 2014 Julep Maven Box arrived today and I am pleased to report that once again, I did NOT go for the full collection! I did, however, get some add-ons (three polishes to be exact), so I guess I didn’t have that much willpower after all.
Julep boxes ship via USPS First Class Mail. I believe that if you upgrade to a full collection it ships via USPS Priority Mail. And Mystery Boxes and regular ship purchases ship via DHL Global Mail. My box took about 3-4 days to make it’s way to me, which wasn’t long at all.
I’m not sure why, but I couldn’t recall what my Julep selection was this month. It’s only been like two weeks, but had no idea. It’s clearly been a long two weeks around here! I actually had to look at my order confirmation to see which polishes were from the collection I selected and which were from my add-ons.
Julep’s March 2014 collection is “The Riviera Collection” and seems to be all about getting you ready for a winter getaway! I opted for the Boho Glam collection and received the following:
~Julep Elisa ($14 / $11.20): Elisa is a soft wisteria shimmer and felt very Easter / Spring’ish to me. It’s possible I have a color very similar, but since I haven’t organized by color yet, I am not sure. I know I like this though!
~Julep Harriet ($14 / $11.20): Harriet is a guava coral crème and I love it. I think it’s a tad darker than any corals I own which I really like about it.
~Julep Lip Gloss – Fearless ($20 / $16): I opted for the lip gloss in Fearless which is a sheer silvery pink shimmer, with Power Cell Complex. I don’t know that I totally understand the difference between this gloss and their other gloss, but I liked it.
I also opted for the following Add-Ons:
~Julep Tania ($14 / $11.20): Do you really think there was a chance that I could pass up this multdimensional mermaid teal glitter? I think not. It’s so gorgeous that I can’t even stand it.
~Julep Lizanne ($14 / $11.20): Since I got the glitter above, I pretty much had to order Lizanne which is a sea green shimmer. I mean, what am I going to wear under the glitter one ;)?
~Julep Rae ($14 / $11.20): My entire reason for this add-on was because Rae, a radiant orchid crème, is a Pantone® 2014 Color of the Year. Plus I feel like the Julep’s with the silver caps (you can’t see it here but it has one) are extra special polishes. I am hoping I am not alone in this.
The two on the left are from the Boho Collection and the three on the right are the Add-Ons that I opted in for.
All totaled, not including my Add-Ons, my March 2014 Julep Maven “Classic With A Twist” box had a value of $48 (or $38.40 if you are using Maven pricing)! The box itself was $19.95, so even with Maven pricing, the value was double the cost of the box.
