Julep Maven Review -Classic with a Twist

Hey all, I am SOOO Excited today because my Julep box arrived!!!!

For those of you who are not aware of Julep, it is a monthly subscription box that focuses on nail polish and nail care~ it cost $19.99 per month and you will receive two nail polish and a few small additional items, but the items do change from time to time!

The BEST PART is the 1 cent free trail promotion they have! which is how I got my box today!!! There are a variety of coupon codes you can find online. I used the code: COLOR2012

Here is a list of other codes that offer the same promotion:

Julep will automatically charge you every month until you choose to cancel.

Based on my initial style quiz, I was sent the "Classic with a Twist" box, which includes two nail polishes and a pedi creme.

The red colour nail polish I got is called Rose and the white shimmery white colour polish is called Kate

The last item is "The Best Pedi Creme Ever" by Julep, which has 60 ml or 2 fluid oz of product.

I was very excited and tried out the polish IMMEDIATELY!!!, I felt Rose is not a very autumn colour, so I tried Kate, which is a neutral  colour that I feel is good for any time.

The polishes were okay, but I definitely did not love the colours I received, the white polish, Kate, reminded me of white out, and the red polish, Rose, is just not a good colour for fall. But I think they are good staple colours to have, and I will put them to use some day~I have seen some of the other colours they have in their online store, and there are some really good colours.

The polish contains 8 ml or 0.27 fluid oz worth of product, which is definitely less product than the average nail polish.

Julep markets itself as a higher end nail polish, but honestly, I did not see exceptional results, the polish was chipping before I even had a chance to put a top coat on. But there was little to no smell, which is really important for me!

Overall, I do not think I will continue to subscribe to them, just because I am not the biggest fan of nail polish, and I personally do not think the amount of product I get justifies the money I would pay, I mean, other subscription boxes that only cost $12 also offer nail polishes on top of four other products.

And since Julep is also available in Sephora, I could just go purchase the colours I really love, instead of get a lot of polishes. But I am not a big nail polish junky, and if you are, this might be a good subscription service for you.

Besides, you get to try the first box for nearly no cost!
