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 finally decided to upgrade to the $24.99 subscription a few months ago so I am now able to customize my box.

Julep ships via FedEx Smart Post.  My May box actually arrived before the end of April, but I have been a little behind in getting this post up.

I have been taking advantage of Julep‘s Add-On’s in my monthly Maven boxes lately.  If you get three add-ons along with your Maven box they will send you a surprise bonus gift!

The May 2015 Julep box featured “The Set Sail” Collection.  I opted for the following:

~Lee – It Girl ($11.20 /$14): Lee is a spitfire red crème and is stunning.  It’s more of an orange-red than a blue-red and i love it.  The formula on this one is great – not gloopy (is that a word) but would still take me two coats.

~Becca – Boho Glam ($11.20 / $14): Becca is a “viridian tide shimmer” which means pretty much nothing to me.  Basically it’s a gorgeous mermaid green color.

~Denise – Bombshell ($11.20 / $14): Denise is a purple crocus crème.  It’s not just purple though.  It’s the brightest, most summery purple ever. You’d get a ton of compliments on this when you wore it!

These are the add-ons I opted for this month:

~Spencer – It Girl ($11.20 / $14): Spencer is a vintage gold chrome.  I have a different shade of Julep gold on my nails right now and I have to tell you, I have a thing for Julep’s gold polishes. They are so pretty!

~Amanda – Classic With A Twist ($11.20 / $14): Amanda is a pink dahlia crème.  Basically it’s hot pink!  When in doubt, I go with hot pink nails and toes.  You can’t go wrong with that in the summer.

~Carolyn – Boho Glam ($11.20 / $14): Carolyn is a melon fusion crème.  With two coats or so the coverage is great and looks awesome it the gold polish in this collection.

~Bonus Gift: Julep Double Step ($7.99): My bonus gift for taking three add-ons this month was the Julep DoubleStep.  I actually love this stuff and have bought it on my own a few times.  I do have trouble with the stick (it’s like a solid lotion) falling out of the container, but that might just be user error.

All totaled I came up with a value of $75.19 for my May 2015 Julep Maven selections.  I paid $24.99 for my box (with the first 3 polishes in it) and then $18 for my add on polishes (3 @ $5.99 each), so all totaled I paid $42.99 and that’s using Maven pricing.  I loved the colors in this collection and I kind of hoping I don’t love the June collection quite as much because I don’t “need” more polish!
