June Julep Maven Box

Yay, my June Julep Maven box finally arrived. It's not a Golden Box that I was really hoping for, but my mom gave me her polishes so I'm a happy girl. I went with the Boho Glam this month just because, like I said in my June Sneak Peek post, I really wanted a robin's egg blue or a color similar to a Tiffany's blue.   

"If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun."

Daisy and Robin

JULEP: Nail Vernis

Daisy: A bright lemon yellow creme

Robin: Robin's egg blue creme

Value: $28.00 (2 x $14.00) 

• Yup, I'm definitely impressed by the quality of the polish. I like how the polishes are more liquid than thick just because I find that it spread better and more evenly. I also love that their not streaky and they are opaque after one coat! I'm so happy that I got Robin, just because now I can create another Tiffany's nail design with a more accurate color.

• This was a nice little surprise that Julep threw in that wasn't listed in their "Sneak Peek". It's Vanilla Mint and I find that it makes my lips tingle a little bit. I don't know what's wrong with me, but some chapsticks and lipsticks just make my lips dry and swell up. I haven't experienced any significant weird reaction from this product.

Julep's Replacement Brushes

JULEP: Replacement Brushes

Hey Girlfriend, we got word that some of the polish brushes in our May box were having a bad hair day. So sorry for the hassle...here's a better coiffed replacement. Shine On. P.S. If you need additional replacements, please contact us at maven@julep.com.

Value: n/a

• Last month, Julep sent out polishes with a bunch of wonky brushes. When you emailed them, they quickly sent out a replacement. But just in case you didn't contact them, they sent out two replacement brushes to everyone! That's really great customer service on their part to recognize their error and find a solution for it. 

Pixy Stix

Whoa, blast from the past!! I haven't had Pixy Stix since I was a little kid. I had the blue pixy stick just before I went to meet some family friends and I totally forgot that it would turn my tongue blue, so it was a little embarassing! I remember mixing the powder with water to create a drink out of it and obviously, as a kid, I thought it tasted amazing. Sugary goodness. Oh nostalgia, thanks for that Julep! 

Total Value of this month's box: $62+ 

Courteney and Lily 

JULEP: Nail Vernis

Courteney: Key-lime green creme

Lily: A sizzling fuchsia creme

• Here are the polishes my mom gave me from her American Beauty box. I really like the key lime green and I definitely don't have this color in my collection. However, I found Courteney a little streaky. Lily on the other hand applied flawlessly with one coat! I'm so excited to play around with these colors!
