Review of January Julep

     Hey guys! I'm here to rave about another awesome monthly box I've fallen in love with! In November I became a Julep Maven, and I'm totally loving it!

     Julep is a monthly box that is $24.99 a month, but they always have great deals to try out your first box! Here's the newest posting if you guys want to give it a try!


     The reason I love this box is...well there's lots of reasons! To start, they have awesome products! Their polish is long-lasting and it doesn't have that strong "polishy" smell to it, because they don't use the icky, toxic ingredients that most nail polishes contain. They also have some great perks! If you're running a tight budget on your month, or you feel like you're just not into it, you can "opt out" any month you want and you won't receive a box or be charged. 

     One of my favorite things about Julep is that when you start your subscription, you build a beauty profile with all your details so they can learn about you, and when you do this, you also choose a style profile, which tells Julep what you want to receive in your box. The best part: you can change this every month if you want! I am "Classic With a Twist" (it isn't in the photo below), which means I get two nail polishes, and a full-size beauty product every month. Here are your options (+ Classic With a Twist):


     
     Some other really cool things are the "My Monthly Box" and the "Secret Store" tabs you can see on the left in the photo above. The "My Monthly Box" opens up on the 20th of the month, when it reveals what you'll be getting in your box. If you don't want a spoiler alert, don't look! But if you do decide to take a look, if there's a nail color or a product you don't like, you can click "Swap" and swap it out for any of the products it lists as options! I absolutely love this about Julep, I did this last month for the first time so that I loved everything I got. The "Secret Store" opens up on the 1st of the month, and has some deals on Julep products for a limited time. Stuff is usually half off or even cheaper! 

     Now for the reveal! I went to "My Monthly Box" on the 20th and changed my products so that I could receive a nail color I wanted, a clear top coat (I needed it desperately), and a really pretty lip color! Here's what my adorable Julep box looked like...



     After the inspirational quote, the new collection flyer, and the coupon code they sent me, here's what I got!


     For a little closer look, I got the Freedom Polymer Top Coat, which I love! It doesn't have the strong smell like most top coats do, and it stays on for a lot longer than any that I've tried.


     The other polish I got was the "Phyllis", it's a pretty, very light and subtle pink, and it's exactly what I wanted!


     The full-size beauty product I picked out was the Plush Pout Lip Crayon in "Cardinal Red". I can't even tell you guys how much I love this stuff! Some lipsticks and lip crayons are so frustrating because they dry your lips out so much, but this is really is a game-changer. The color is a bright, vibrant red and its moisturizing for my lips. Usually, when I find a lip crayon or color I like that doesn't dry my lips out, it usually doesn't last long at all, but this stuff stayed on for my full work shift and I talk to customers all day long! Thumbs up, Julep, for creating such an awesome lip crayon! By the way, I'm wearing the Phyllis nail polish in this photo :)


     Julep was extra cool this month, and they sent me two surprises in my box! I got a little box of Junior Mints as a sweet treat, and another top coat. The top coat I got is the "Metamorphic Top Coat", and it's so cool! It totally transforms your nail color! This is a limited edition coat, so you can't buy it on their website currently :(
