Julep Nail Vernis L to R: Diane, Trina, and Michelle
Situations that make me love and want to support small businesses: prompt problem-solving and response to customers’ needs.
And Julep did exactly that. Many Mavens were disappointed to be receiving only one lacquer (plus a lipgloss and a makeup bag)?for the November Maven Box. Julep immediately came out with the Polish Lover Option that nixed what were “fluff” to the nail aficionados and replaced them with two more polishes for a polishes-only box, on top of having the choice of receiving any other Style box.
Shelf Pull options. Click image to enlarge.
I wouldn’t have minded trying a new lipgloss included in my original It Girl box. But when the chose was given, of course I chose to try three new colors on my nails instead!
Included in the November Polish Lover Option box:
Diane, a rich forest green ($14)
Trina, a shimmery deep aubergine ($14)
Michelle, a midnight blue ($14)
Which totals to $42 worth of products for, as you already know, USD $19.99. I actually wasn’t too excited about these colors from the Maven email image, but seeing them in person, I love how dark and vampy they are — right up my alley!

I do have one complaint, however. In the above photo, I placed the bottles the same way with the “peek-a-boo windows” facing toward us. Do you see what’s wrong? Yup, Diane (green) bottle is misprinted! The Julep logo is actually on the side facing away from us. It looks odd considering has a black “background” thanks to that “window” instead of a transparent one as it should. I know I’m being very picky, but it bothers me to the point I’d probably ask for an exchange had I purchased it individually.
Slight misstep in quality control aside, I forgive them as their neatly hand-wrapped packages never fail to put a smile on my face each month. The polishes wrapped in purple and placed in a compact Julep box feel like I’m receiving a gift, never mind that I purchased the said gift myself.
I’ll post photos and my thoughts as I wear them! Which Style box did you choose this month? What did you think?
If you’d like to join the Maven program, you can?get your first box for $5?(normally $20) by taking the Style Quiz??and entering code?FIRST5?at checkout.?(Disclosure: this is a referral link that provides me $15 Julep credit when you join Julep Maven.

Nice pull! I like the colors. Specially the dark green and the blue!
And jep, the missprint would bother me, too!
Do they ship the Julep boxes to your country? Oris someone from the US forwarding them to you?

Hi Keeper! I haven’t worn them yet, but I’m liking the colors too! Julep Maven is only for US & Canada right now, but I’ll let you know if/when they start offering international shipping.

Yes I was not happy with the lipgloss with plumping effect. They just bug me… But then again I should pay attention and opt out when I received the email. I’m intrigued about Trina! Can’t wait to see your next review.

I don’t like plumping glosses with cayenne pepper in them, either! You know you can also request a shelf-pull to see all the other options, right? Are you getting the December box?

Glad I’m not the only one! Have you tried Julep polishes?

What a beautiful selection–I love jewel tones, and Trina looks especially pretty. I’ve never tried any of these monthly beauty box programs, though–I’m too much of a choose-my-own-adventure type to commit!

I am as well, so I signed up as a way of being less of a control freak. I like that it forces me to go out of my comfort zone. Definitely wouldn’t have picked out the dark green myself. Good thing is that you have the option to skip the month entirely if you don’t like any of them.

Ooh, what pretty jewel tones! I have to agree with you on the printing issue, though; that would drive me up the wall

Haha good, I have you girls to back me up! I like the pretty bottles lined up the same way! Thanks for reading and leaving me a comment, Rae!
