Julep February Review

Yeah my Julep box arrived! Julep is my favorite subscription box- you'll see why after my unboxing!

So excited to see these boxes at my door

Julep:
Type: Nail Box
Cost: $19.99/month includes shipping
What is it?: Becoming a Julep Maven gives you access to all their products for 20% off as well as being part of their rewards program which earns you FREE boxes and products. To begin, you take a style quiz to determine you Julep Maven Style and your first box will be a welcome box. Each month you are sent the month's theme colors and products in the 4 beauty profiles and have the option to choose your assigned box or any other one available. You also have the option to skip any month- this may be the BEST feature at Julep. Julep also offers add-ons each month for extremely discounted rates as well as random/surprise bags/boxes all the time. Fun fact: Julep's full collection was one of Oprah's favorite things this past year. Use my referral link when you sign up and try your first month for a whopping $0.01 (I did this and it is legit) using the code JULEPVIP.

Look at all these goodies!
Every Julep box I've ever gotten has been stuffed to the brim with goodies! I love the Ingrid Bergman quote this month highlighting the Old Hollywood Glamour theme!


First up, Oxygen Nail Treatment and Freedom Top Coat!! I am so excited for this Nail Treatment! My nails have become a bit brittle and flaky from going crazy painting and re-painting my nails and I can't wait to give this a go! Price: $18

The Freedom Top Coat is a super plus in this box! It is an extra in all February boxes this month and I am stoked to try it. This Top Coat give you a gel-manicure look without the gel mani cost and issues. I've never tried gel (cost etc) so I am ready to see how I feel about this look! Price: $18

Sally & Joan
On to the polishes!! I opted for the American Beauty box and I am so glad I did. I love these colors, especially since Sally is a color I wouldn't normally pick for myself. Sally is based on Sally Fields and Joan on Joan Crawford. Both colors (cream and glittery purple) come with swatch stickers on the cap in case I want to see the color on something before putting it on my nails. If you haven't seen it, check out the adorable video and 8-year maven behind the swatch stickers. Also, on the bottom of each bottle there is a sticker saying which number color of the year is this polish (12 & 13 for me) and what style color it is (American Beauty) and of course the polish's name- I love this extra step so I know even more about my product! Price: $14/polish


Ahh! I love Julep- there are always adorable and amazing surprises in each box! Two delicious chocolate hearts inside AND an eyelash curler. I love Julep- they are constantly giving, giving, giving to their customers! I am always 100% satisfied! Price:?? $6??

I also ordered an extra product this month as an add-on, thus the second box. Every month when you order the monthly box you can add-on up to three items for a super cheap price. This month I decided to take advantage of this and ordered on product: the hand and cuticle stick. I wanted to try this after seeing all the mixed reviews. I figured I gotta try it for myself! This glue-stick like product is really interesting and I am excited to see what it does for my cuticles!


Verdict: Even without the extras a non-maven would pay $64 for this box!  And $70 with the extras!! At maven prices it is still a whopping $57.20 (with extras)!!! This box is well worth the $19.99 I paid for it and even if the box's value was $20 it would still be worth it! The products and surprises of each box are amazing- I can never see myself giving up this box... although I do skip months when the cashflow is extra low. Try Julep yourself: use my referral link when you sign up and try your first month for a whopping $0.01 (I did this and it is legit) using the code JULEPVIP!

P.S. for all you Julep Mavens out there the secret store is open today (for soon-to-be mavens, the secret store is for anyone who purchases that month's box, it is a store with products and gifts up to 50% off!).

  1. My intro box shipped today! I'm so excited! I both love and (lightly) hate you for introducing me to the world of subscription boxes. You might have created a monster. I have to be careful with this :) But I'm excited for FUN STUFF!

    1. I completely understand, it is very addicting! And it is a growing industry so there are more and more boxes coming out all the time aka more temptation!
      So glad you got Julep! They have one of the best promos to get started and I ALWAYS love what I get from them!
