Julep Maven Intro Box

Earlier this week I received my first subscription box from Julep Maven. Julep is a beauty company that makes "4 free" nail polishes and other beauty items. They have a monthly subscription box called Julep Maven that provides you with a monthly box with either three polishes or two polishes and a beauty item depending on which style profile you choose. 

I wouldn't normally subscribe to a nail/beauty box however I had a promo code for your first box free. The promo code is FREEBOX if anyone wants to try it out. You will only have to pay 3.99 for the shipping or 5.99 expedited which isn't too bad for three nail polishes. The shipping time was exceptional. It only took 2-3 days to get from Seattle, WA all the way to NJ. Julep ships via USPS.

When you join you are given a quick style quiz to determine your profile. Once you are done with this you are shown the intro box for your profile and you can choose to keep that one or change it if you like another box better. I think I got the "boho glam" profile but I chose the "it girl" box as I prefered the three polishes (I'm not much of a cosmetics girl).

Straight out of the mailbox:

First Look:
The presentation is great. My Introductory "It Girl" box included a Welcome Card, and Information Card regarding my style profile, a nail file, a polish removing wipe and three carefully packaged polishes.


The Information Cards



The polishes


The first polish color is "Mackenzie". The lighting in my house is not great but the color is a fun, bright green. It reminds me of green apples.

This photo almost looks beige but it's actually a pretty lavender color called "Alice". This one was the final deciding factor of me ordering the box as it has my daughter's name. An odd reason I know but a good one in my opinion.

The third polish is a glittery polish to add some sparkle to your regular polish.


Also in the box were an emory board-which you can never have enough of-and a nail polish remover wipe. 

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this box. The products are great as was the presentation. The little extras were a nice touch too. I had initially planned on getting the free box and canceling the supscription but I think I might reconsider keeping the subscription. They do allow you to skip a month if you don't love the products so I think I may take advantage of that and only shell out the 19.99 when I love the colors. 

If you're interested in trying out the Julep Maven box click the link above and try out the code for your first box free.

  1. I just got the same intro box and love it! I am wearing the green (mackenzie) and I've gotten soooo many compliments on it! I did a couple of add ons too (Bunny and Polymer Top Coat) to get free shipping and it only cost me $12. What a wicked deal! Esp. For Canada...we hardly ever get free shipping from the US!

    Bought a few singles a week later and just recently ordered the Laguna Beach mystery box. I am hooked!!!!
