Hello Internet friends. I know it has been along time. With the new year I have renewed my zest for blogging and vow to be more consistent. This is my year! I have several exciting blogs and reviews lined up. Today we will be discussing the January Julep Maven subscription. Julep Maven is a nail polish subscription you get to choose between five boxes and around the 24th of every month they email you with the colors in your box and you can choose to keep it, get a different one, skip the month, send it to a friend. The choices are endless and so are the polish colors. The polishes are named after females. I find it fun to give them to people in my life that have the name on the polish. I do have Heather and unfortunately Heather isn't a very colorful color. It is a brownish color. Yes nice for neutral times but I wish it was a purple or blue. Also nice about this subscription service is you rack up points called Jewels every month. You get 300 for taking your box, Jewels for every purchase you make, Jewels for your birthday, Jewels for your sign up anniversary and Lots of Jewels for referrals. I have gotten two free boxes so far and two free polishes. It is 19.99 a month. You get 2-3 polishes (depending on what box you choose) and if you get two polishes you get a nail or beauty product. If I could add speech to my blogs it would totally sound like an infomercial at this point. So without further ado. This months box.
First is the product. The Ta Da! Quick Dry Drops. 1fl oz. It says to use wait one minute after applying last coat of polish, then apply one to two drops to each nail. It smells very nice and herbal like. I smell a little lavender. Very nice and it does work.
Second, I received the color Abigal is a sweet rose gold with micro shimmers, It has a sticker that says Silk finish on the cap. Abigal needs two to three coats to be nice and Opaque but it is definitely worth it. When I think of Abigal I think of what I was going to name my daughter if I had one.
My third item is a polish in the Color Mona, It is a shiny dark navy blue. It is opaque with the first coat. I just adore this color. Does anyone else think of Who's the boss when they hear the name Mona? Then my mind goes to Friends and Ross meeting Mona at Monica's wedding where they are discussing her name. In my house we reference Friends and How I met your mother frequently.
I am quite happy with this months box. I do highly recommend Julep. Their polishes are great quality, the bottles are great for storage. I can fit 24 on each row of my nail polish rack. Now there is only 8ml in each bottle but to me the quality makes up for the lack of product compared to other brands. However I find it better not only for storage but if you are like me you have ALOT of nail polish, how often do you ever finish a whole bottle before it gets icky and has to be thrown out. I also like the fact that i can see progress in usage. Each bottle comes with a swatch sticker on the lid so you can swatch it and put the cap back on the lid and all you need to do is look at the top to see what color it will be. I find Julep polishes do apply to the nail very true to the color in the bottle. Julep has excellent customer service and their reward program cannot be beat.
I cannot wait to see what colors February has in store for me. If you want to check out Julep Maven you can get a free box
Free Julep Box Enter freecolor in the code box. It is easy to cancel online if you wish too. Try it and then let me know what you think.
I hope you all have a great New Year and that your dreams come true.
