JULEP MAVEN AUGUST BOX!

Hello Ladies!!

I got my August Julep Maven Box in the mail!

I am so excited about this box because the nail polish colors are chrome and I love chrome colors! I decided to stay with the Bombshell Maven box and since this is my first actual box besides my intro box I got to pick a free add on!

Here is what came in my August box!!

I am loving my Julep box for the month of August! I think that $19.99 is a great deal for 3 polishes, a nail polish remover, and a cute little tote bag!

The nail polish colors I received are Kim gunmetal grey metallic, Harley liquid silver metallic chrome, and Melanie pastel indigo metallic chrome! I love all three colors and I am excited to try them out!

The nail polish remover works really well, I already tried it to remove my elf chocolate nail polish and it took it all of the color off, there wasn't a spot of dark brown left on my nail so I really love that! The nail polish remover is also reusable and you can travel with it easily because it came with a cap for the remover so that you do not always have to have the pump in. I am always needing nail polish remover so this product is an A++ for me!

Julep also gave out these really adorable small tote bags! I really like the tote bag because it is not overly large and it will be perfect for taking it on a plane, which if you did not know I travel across the country a lot to see my family, they would also be really good for using as lunch bags!

I am definitely going to continue my monthly Julep Subscription, I love nail polish and they have done a really good job, plus I really love their nail polishes as well as the extra products that have been in the bags!

*MANI MONDAY* Plus a review on my Julep Maven Intro Box!

Before doing a review on my first Julep Maven box which was the Julep Maven Bombshell intro box, let's take a look at my nails shall we?

The colors I used for today's look where Natasha (Orange) and Oscar (Gold Glitter) from my Julep Maven intro box.

I am not completely 100% over the moon with Julep Maven, don't get me wrong they are great but I need a them to 'wow' me a little bit more.

Things that I like about the Julep subscription are:

The overall packaging for the box is cute and put together well.

I love the bottles that the nail polish are in, they are sleek and very cute.

I like that the cap to the fingernail polish is square, it provides a better grip when painting your nails.

I absolutely love the, 'The Best Pedi Creme Ever' that came in my intro box. It helped smooth out my dry summer feet fast.

The intro box was only a penny so how can anyone pass up that deal?

(If you would like to sign up for an intro box here is my referral link http://julep.com/?r=22275415, make sure you use the code PENNY at checkout)

They ship incredibly fast! I live all the way across the country and I received my bag after only 3 days!

I can only think of three con's for this subscription which are the polishes are rather small and the price for the subscription is $19.99 after your intro box.

The third con is that I did not particularly like the Natasha (orange) polish but for only a penny I can definitely deal with that lol!

July Julep Maven Intro Box - Bombshell

I am so excited for my first box to come in! I was even more excited because my first box only cost me $0.01!! You can get it for $0.01 too, here is my referral link if you would like to try Julep out =] http://julep.com/?r=22275415 

Also when checking out use the code PENNY to get your intro box for only 1 cent!!

Julep is a monthly subscription that costs $19.99 per month and you get fingernail polish, pedicure products, lip gloss, etc. As a Julep Maven you also get 20% off of all orders placed on their website! 

My first impression of this box was that it was good packaging; I like that they do not make it overly difficult to open. They take the time to make the inside cute with wrapping up their products  as well as adding a ribbon to it, and putting the little crinkled decorative paper on the inside. 

In my intro box I received

The Best Pedi Creme Ever! (2 FL, Retail $22) 

It smells like cucumber and mints, which I love! It isn't strong so I do like that.

Two fingernail polishes

Natasha- A nice orange-reddish color (.27 FL, Retail $14)

Oscar- Glitter Gold (.27 FL, Retail $14)

The last thing that I received, that I also did not know that I was getting is a set of the toe separators for when you paint your toe nails! I am excited about these because I needed to get some but never remembered when I was at the store. So far I give my Julep subscription an A+; awesome products and only 1cent this month.
I am not sure how much the toe separators cost but without those the total retail cost of this bag was $50!! Such an amazing deal =]
