Julep Maven April 2013

Hiiiii there! Happy weekend! :-)

I haven't shown you guys my Julep Maven boxes in a while, and I'm particularly thrilled with this month's, so I thought I'd go ahead and share what I got. The theme for April is "turn on the brights", perfect as the weather is getting warmer. This month, I went with the It Girl box. 

Everything arrived nicely wrapped in the usual black Julep box. The nail polishes for It Girl this month are Eden (bright violet creme), Mackenzie (sour apple green metallic), and Abbie (sunshine yellow creme). As a fun little treat, this month's boxes also come with a piece of rock candy. I'll have some swatches and reviews of the colors in my upcoming posts.

Julep Maven December 2012

Hi you guys! Hope your holiday season has been festive and fun so far. I'm currently off from work and that mood of relaxation has seeped into all I do, making me extremely lazy. As a result, I'm falling a little behind on my blog posts. Let's see if I can catch up a bit. :-)

Today, I'm excited to show you my December Julep Maven box. This month's theme is glitter and glow, perfect for this time of the year. For this month, I went with the It Girl box instead of my default Boho Glam because I wanted the extra polish instead of the warming foot scrub.

Everything arrived nicely wrapped in the usual black Julep box. The nail polishes for It Girl this month are Harper (full coverage mermaid blue glitter), Ivy (sapphire micro-glitter metallic), and Vivien (full coverage champagne gold glitter). As a bonus, this month's boxes also comes with a create-your-own cabochon ring and a peppermint candy. I'll have some swatches and reviews of my favorite of the three colors up shortly.

Julep Maven November 2012

Hi, lovely readers! Hope you guys are having a great holiday weekend! I'm a little behind on my posts. I thought I would get a chance to work on the blog over the long weekend, but I should have known better. I could not concentrate in the midst of so much turkey and shopping. :-)

Today, I'm excited to show you my November Julep Maven box. This month's theme is suede polishes. I've been hoping Julep would include their suede polishes as part of their Maven boxes ever since they introduced them to Sephora a few months ago, and I'm happy they finally did. This month, I chose the Classic With A Twist box instead of my usual Boho Glam.

As usual, everything came nicely wrapped in their signature black Julep box. The nail polishes for Classic With A Twist this month are Minka (a copper red suede) and Brit (a graphite silver suede). This profile also came with a jar of Pink Grapefruit Body Frosting. It smells lovely and fresh, and I can't wait to try it. As a bonus, this box also contains three individually wrapped polish-remover pads, which will be super useful when traveling. I've already tried one of the polishes and will have swatches and reviews of that up shortly (assuming I don't get side-tracked with more shopping lol).

Julep Maven October 2012

I'm excited to have received my October Julep Maven box in the mail last week. I had a bit of trouble deciding which box to get this month. This month's theme is Halloween-inspired, and many of the boxes had crackle polishes. I'm not a big fan of crackles, but I finally settled on the It Girl box because even though it has a crackle polish, the other two polishes that came in the box are beautiful.

Everything came nicely wrapped in the usual black Julep box. The nail polishes for It Girl this month are Caroline (a burgundy shimmer), Leslie (black and silver specked shimmer), and Glenda (a silver crackle). The box also contains two pots of glitter and a small bag of candy corns in the spirit of Halloween. I'll be trying out the colors and will have swatches and reviews for you guys coming up.

Julep Maven July 2012

I was so excited to receive my July Julep Maven box in the mail this month. When I first saw the previews this month for my Boho Glam profile, I felt like the colors were made for me! And they certainly did not disappoint when I saw them in person. :-)

Everything came nicely wrapped in the usual black Julep box. The nail polishes for Boho Glam this month are Georgia (a golden coral shimmer) and Mischa (cherry scarlet shimmer). The box also contains a matching peachy coral lip gloss in color Poppy. To celebrate Canada Day and Fourth of July this month, Julep also included a bonus polish—depending on your location—in color O Canada or America (which I received). I am looking forward to trying all the colors and will have swatches and reviews for you in the upcoming days.

Julep Maven June 2012

I was really excited last week to receive my June Julep Maven box in the mail. For my June box, I didn't need the SPF 30 cream that was being offered with my usual Boho Glam profile, so I switched to It Girl to receive an extra polish instead.

Everything came nicely wrapped in a black Julep box. The nail polishes for It Girl this month are Sasha (a cantaloupe cream), Sandra (a magenta pink metallic), and Morgan (a grape purple metallic). I am looking forward to trying all the colors and having the swatches for you guys. The box also includes some replacement brushes, a SPF 15 lip balm, and two Pixy Stix. :-)

Julep Maven May 2012

I am so excited that I just got my May Julep Maven box in the mail. For my May box, I switched from my usual Boho Glam profile to It Girl.

As usual, everything came nicely wrapped in a black Julep box. The nail polishes for It Girl this month are Nessa (a light yellow shimmer), Ashley (an orange shimmer), and Kylie (a purple shimmer that is also a magnetic polish). I can't wait to try all the colors and I will definitely have swatches for you guys. The box also include the magnetic to use with Kylie and a small packet sample of the pedi cream.

I have heard so many wonderful things about argan oil, and I can't wait to try this on my face and hair. Julep also included a bonus nail file in the box.

Zoya's Valentines Promo Mail

Oooh look what came in the mail today:

It's my order from Zoya's Valentines promo: Kimmy and Renew drops. Kimmy looks gorgeous in the bottle with all those lovely sparkles, and I desperately need some polish thinner. Can't wait to try both! :)

Did you take advantage of the same promo? What did you get?

Let me know what you got in your mystery box. Did you get the same box as me or a different one? I am looking forward to seeing everyone's boxes! :)

Julep Maven February 2012

I am so excited to share with you that I am finally a Julep Maven! I joined Julep Maven a few days ago when I saw that I could get my introductory box for only ONE CENT! I could not pass up a deal like that, and today I received my first box.

My intro box was the Boho Glam February box, and it comes nicely wrapped in a black Julep box. The nail polishes in this box are Oscar (a gold sparkly glitter) and Marisa (a rich cobalt blue shimmer). There is also a bottle of cuticle oil, perfect for my dry winter cuticles. Since this month's theme is the Oscars, my box also contains a chocolate Oscar, which my husband has already claimed as his treat. :)
