Julep is a monthly nail polish (and beauty) 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 so I am now able to customize my box.
Julep ships via FedEx Smart Post out of Ohio and tends to take just a few days to arrive to me. You can expect to receive your box in the first few days of the month.
I am such a sucker for a freebie and always get three add-ons so I can get the free item you get when you get 3+ items. I have a friend who is obsessed with Julep products so even if I get a duplicate polish color (which I typically do), it never goes to waste.
The February 2016 Julep theme was “Modern Smolder” and included the following items:
~Rosie (It Girl) ($11.20 / $14): Roise is a charcoal grey with magenta glitter. It’s absolutely gorgeous and I thought it would be a fun twist on the normal Valentine’s Day reds and pinks.
~Hayley (Boho Glam) ($11.20 / $14): Hayley is a Beetroot crème. Hayley is almost the same color as Rosie to tell you the truth. Except it doesn’t have glitter. I thought it would be nice under Rosie and hopefully it will make it a little easier to get the glitter polish off.
~Eyeshadow 101 – Cocoa ($14.40 / $18): I debated on getting one of Julep’s new shadow sticks and I am so glad I did. This is fabulous! It’s smooth and shiny and has a smudger on the end so you can blend easily. I will be picking this up in other shades for sure.
~Add-Ons: For my add-ons this month I selected Aquarius (one of their new Zodiac polishes), Luxe Lip Conditioning Treatment (love this stuff) and the Julep Clean Up tool. I received “Sienna” as my free gift for buying 3 add-ons and received “Hartleigh” as a bonus gift as well. Hartleigh was Julep’s gift to subscribers this month. Subscribers received e-mails about it and if you wanted to receive it, you just had to claim it through the e-mail.
All totaled I came up with a value of $36.80 ($44 using non-Maven prices) for my February 2016 Julep box. I wasn’t a fan of the entire polish collection this month, but I like the shades I picked and the shadows are awesome!

What was the gold-ish shade in your add ons?
I want Aquarius so much…but no one has it for swap or on ebay. I don’t think I’ve ever paid full price for one of these polishes!
I bet it will be discounted soon! You know how Julep works! The gold was my freebie for getting 3 add-ons!
