I am absolutely excited about the new monthly subscription websites that send you beauty products. I received my first box from Julep Maven this weekend and you would’ve thought I was a kid in a candy store. The box I received contained 2 bottles of nail polish (Renee & Eva) along with Pedi Crème, and Separators. I know you’re saying “who gets excited about nail polish”, but there’s a reason, I was a chronic nail biter for 30 + years and didn’t have nails to polish (just call me nubby). I stopped biting my nails after a long period of wearing acrylic tips. Now, I wear my natural nails with a gel overlay; I’m wearing the color Renee in the picture.
Here’s what I liked about Julep Maven
Essentially, I noticed that each bottle of polish was $14.00 (quite pricey) but upon application I see why
1) It took one coat of polish to give my nail great coverage not 2 or 3 like I normally do with some of my nail polish.
2) My nail set and dried completely in about 5 minutes. Normally, after applying a few coats I would have to wait like an hour or I risk messing my nails up.
3) They have beautiful colors that are named with real women names like Renee, Eva, Annette, & Ellen….maybe they will name a color after me Shauntee
4) Proceeds from sales are donated to various organizations that support women.
5) With the subscription you get 20% off all products.
6) I love the blog that shows you cool nail designs and how to create the design yourself
7) I’m a sucker for super cute packaging, the items cames nicely wrapped in pink bag with a black filler.
