Julep Maven - Beauty in a Box

I was supplied a Julep Maven Beauty Box for my perusal, in order to facilitate this review. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.

I am a nail polish junkie. I'm also a hair product junkie - AND you might as well add some makeups into that rotation as well. I love to have my nails "did" and have a collection of polishes that you'd have to see to believe.

What I'm trying to say is, Sephora is one of my favorite stores. :)

I was excited to be contacted to review the new Julep Maven line of beauty. It's a program designed to bring the newest and greatest beauty products to your door.

From their site:  We launched our new Julep Maven program to give all of our girlfriends access to the beauty editor Sneak Peek Box we create every month.  As a Julep Maven, you will have access to the hottest trends in nail color and the latest Mani Care and Pedi Care products - delivered right to your doorstep, just like the beauty editors do.  And you'll have access to these trends and products before anyone else.

We know that tailoring and customizing each editor delivery is critical to gaining her attention and enthusiasm, so every Sneak Peek Box we send you will be tailored to your needs and preferences.  Just take our fun and easy Julep Maven Style Quiz to help us understand your style profile.

The box I was sent contained two nail polishes - one light gray, very cool, and the other an amazingly interesting gold glitter - I'm saving that for Blissdom.

 

It also held a new hairspray that I'd never heard of, which has become my new favorite.

AND - a bonus - a good size dark chocolate block to snack on, in the shape of an Oscar! Win- win, in my book.The box was beautifully wrapped, and I didn't realize until I researched this post that the February box was created with the Oscars in mind, so the red and gold is completely appropriate!

The polishes are all free from DBP, toluene, formaldehyde and formaldehyde resin- but beautiful and long lasting nonetheless.

Would you like to win a box of your own? Leave me a comment here, telling me your favorite color of nail polish - and one winner will be chosen at random to receive their very own Julep box. In addition, if you sign up and use the code "SCREAMINGMASSES" at checkout, you will receive your first Julep Maven Sneak Peek Box for just $5! (valued over $40).

I took a look at this product recently, looks good! That gold ROCKS!

[Camilla]

Pick just one favorite color? yikes! If I could only have one color it would have to be red (not really a waitress red by opi has the best name of all time!)

[Vicky C]

Wow, that gold is amazing! But coral is my favorite.

[Crystal Herself]

I only use nail polish on my toes, and the gold would be a fun surprise for my husband!

I have never been much of a polish wearer - except the toes; so that is usually some dark color - whereas my nails...if anything something clear/base coat type.

I am SO ordering this - how fun, and what a deal!

I love hot pink nail polish on my toes. I'm normally pretty reserved, so wearing something so bold on my toes is one way for me to show my fun personality :)

OPI Samoan Sand - the one I've loved since 2001!

[Hair Care Products]

My go-to color is Grey's Anatomy. It reminds me of an oil spill on water. It's green! No, wait, it's purple! Wait, grey!
