Julep Maven May Box – Get Your First Box FREE!

May 21, 2014 By Emily 18 Comments

 

"Julep Maven" 'Julep Nail Polish" 'Julep Subscription Box" "Classic With a Twist Box"

Two months ago I went from the girl who hated to paint my nails because I didn’t like the smell or the chips to the girl who enjoys doing it weekly!  What changed was I stumbled across a company called Julep.

Julep is a subscription based nail polish/cosmetics company where for $19.95 each month you get $40 worth of products delivered to your doorstep.

What got me intrigued was that the polish is free of formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, DBP.  Any time I can find a product that has less chemicals in it and is more natural I’m all for it!  PLUS for each polish sold Julep donate a percentage of proceeds from the sale of every Julep Nail Polish to organizations that empower women.  <— That’s cool!!

So I tried it, and I’m no nail polish expert, but I LOVE the colors!!  Some paint better than others, but they are all gorgeous!

Check out my first box!

I have to tell you that top coat I bought as an add on in that box was AWESOME!! It’s called Freedom, and it is the BEST top coat I have EVER used!! I apply this over my polish and then cure it at my desk lamp (regular bulb, not UV) for 2 minutes and my nails look awesome!! Plus it helps ease away the imperfections from bumps that might have occurred after polish!  My nails actually look like I had them done and not like I did them at home… at least from a distance! LOL I’m not the best polisher!!

So I was excited to get my second box.  I like my Julep Maven May box colors a lot! They are SUPER pretty!!

"Julep Maven" 'Julep Nail Polish" 'Julep Subscription Box" "Classic With a Twist Box"

When you sign up to get your first box for free you take a super short and easy style profile.  You are then placed into a themed box such as “IT GIRL” or “BOMBSHELL”.  My style profile is “CLASSIC WITH A TWIST”.  If you don’t like the colors you can switch your box for that month to one of the others.  I thought for this month since it was only my second month I’d see what my style profile came with.  The two colors I got are Ramona (left) which is a super pale lilac color that is very close to being white.  The second color I got for May was called Maddy.  Maddy is such a fun pink/red color.  Both colors only took 1 coat to look amazing.

This month’s bag also came with the new plie wand which is a tool that is supposed to help make polishing your non-dominant hand easier.  At first I was a bit skeptical.  I really wasn’t sure I’d like it…

Overall I’m really happy with my subscription and plan on continuing.  I like that if I needed to save some money one month I can choose to skip my box.  I also love the change they are making for June’s box. Instead of only being able to switch out box themes (example: Classic With A Twist for Bombshell), you can now switch out individual colors!!  Pretty cool!  Plus once you are a Maven all the colors are sold to you at a discounted price.

Want to get your first box free?

Follow THIS LINK to sign up.  Use code FREEBOX! Then you will get to try out $40 of products for only the cost of shipping!!

Are you already a Maven?  Let me know your favorite color in the comments so I can check it out! 

This post is not sponsored. I pay for my own boxes, but like everyone who signs up I get a referral code that if someone signs up I get “1000 Jules”.  2000 Jules will get me a free box.  As with everything on my blog I won’t recommend it unless I’m using it personally and enjoying the product!

    Oooo, how fun!! This might actually make me paint my nails – I spend that much on manicures anyway. I’m all for more natural AND empowering women!

    I was also never a nail polish person but all of a sudden I enjoy doing my nails! Of course the nail polish I use doesn’t last too long because it usually chips within a couple days, which is definitely annoying. Just means I have to try out this nail polish 😀
