My November 2014 Julep box arrived yesterday and I was very curious to see which box I’d receive since I didn’t remember if I made a selection for the month!
If you aren’t familiar, Julep is a monthly nail polish subscription service. They offer a “My Maven” box for $24.99/month which contains $40+ worth of product and polish or “Maven Luxe” for $39.99/month which contains $60+ of prestige products. Both boxes are fully customizable and you have the option to switch between tiers. Subscribers prior to 4/29/14 were grandfathered in at the $19.99/month rate, however, they will need to upgrade to the $24.99 subscription if they want to customize their boxes. I am hoping out and have yet to upgrade to the customizable option. Once you do, you can’t move back down.
Julep ships via FedEx Smart Post out of Ohio. I think it took about four or five days to arrive to me this month? It’s not as quick as it was a year or so ago when they used Priority Mail that’s for sure!
I have no idea why I forgot to take a first look picture, but I bet you can guess what it looked like (nail polish in a box).
The November 2014 Julep featured “The Friendsgiving Collection”. Turns out I didn’t make a selection for this box so it defaulted to “Bombshell” which I guess is my current profile. It worked out well because that’s what I would have picked anyway. Here is what was included:
~Fazia (Bombshell) ($11.20 / $14): Fazia is a liquid garnet shimmer and is my favorite polish of the entire collection this month. It’s a great holiday color and really will work any other time as well.
~Jessie (Bombshell) ($11.20 / $14): Jessie is a deep Kalamata crème and I swear, I have a Julep color on my nails right now that looks exactly like this. Exactly. Well wait, I think mine might have a little red to it while this one just seems to have mainly brown tones, but still. I like this and I will be wearing it!
~Length Matters Wow-Impact Mascara ($20.80 / $26): A have a friend who totally loves the Julep makeup line, so I am going to save this for her to try. Every time she comes over she raids my makeup closet and leaves with a box filled with Julep polishes and other goodies. She’ll love this!
All totaled I came up with a value of $43.20 (or $54 had I used non-Maven pricing) for the November 2014 Julep “Bombshell” box. I was really happy with this box and thought that the surprise of not exactly knowing what was coming was kind of fun this month!
