Julep Maven Review + Giveaway! (Closed)

And the winner is....

PtiteMeve!!! Congratulations, lady! Look out for an email from me today. 

Thanks to all of you who entered!


When I was contacted by Julep Maven to test and review their products, I jumped at the chance. I've wanted to try Julep Maven for a while, but as a member of a couple of beauty subscription services, I wasn't convinced I needed another. But since I am a nail polish junkie, it couldn't hurt, right? I also loved that Julep Maven donates $1 from every sale to organizations that empower women. That's what really made me want to see the products for myself.

I was sent their 'Classic With a Twist' Maven Box (in cute holiday wrapping!), which includes:
-- Julep "Facial for Hands" Glycolic Hand Scrub
-- "Nicole" Julep Nail Vernis in a Shimmery Brick Red
-- "Whitney" Julep Nail Vernis in a Mushroom greige
-- Glitter Pot for nails in a shimmery red (color may vary)
I really like how saturated the nail colors are, especially the "Nicole" shade. For those of you looking for more of a neutral, the "Whitney" shade is the perfect blush/nude. The finish is smooth, and shiny enough for one coat, but I like to apply two, for a richer effect.  I'm pretty hard on my nails, but with a good topcoat, I experienced little chipping. Overall, I think the quality of the polishes are similar to high-end, more expensive brands. 

Pros: 
-- For $19.99 per month, you can try two new nail colors (valued at $14.99 each), and nail and hand care products.
-- Nail colors are free of DBP, toluene, formaldehyde and formaldehyde resin - toxin free!
-- You can choose to skip the month, send your box to a friend, and choose the particular box you would like to receive.
-- The nail colors are saturated, and each bottle contains an ample amount of polish.
-- A portion of each sale is donated to charitable organizations, which is so admirable.

Cons:
-- Oddly enough, I received the SPF 30 Hand Cream instead of the Hand Scrub, which did make my hands softer. I would've liked to try to hand scrub though.
