Julep July Maven Box Sneak Peek!

Updated- Julep posted this picture on their site!
 
 Click here to see all about the new colors!
It is almost that time again when Julep opens its online doors to us Mavens and offers up a few new goodies and some new polish that we (almost) always need to say yes to! 
I received an email today with this lovely picture in it.
This was also posted on there facebook page.
I checked out Julep's site and it sound good.
Cost is $23.00 but they have yet to list the discounted Maven price and looks to be about 3.5 oz.

What It Is: A blend of lightweight yet nourishing oils that moisturize, condition, and restore elasticity and suppleness to the body.
What It Does: Absorbs instantly and leaves a satin finish without a greasy residue. Treatment mist contains a blend of cotton seed oil, rich in cell nourishing vitamin E, and sunflower oil- for deep conditioning and softening of even the driest skin.
How To Use: Mist onto slightly damp skin. Massage in thoroughly. Use whenever and whenever skin feels dry. Can be used under lotion for more skin conditioning. Do not use on face.
Features & Benefits:
  • Cotton seed oil, rich in cell nourishing vitamin E
  • Sunflower oil deep conditions with linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid
  • Absorbs instantly, and leaves a satin finish- never a greasy residue
  • Lightly fragranced with a pleasant blend of citrus and floral notes
  • Fine mist spray provides an easy application
  • Does not contain parabens or sulfates
Ingredients: Cyclopentaxiloxane, Isopropyl Myristate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Dimethicone, Isononyl Isononanoate, Dibutyl Adipate, Parfum/Fragrance, Isoeicosane, Gossypium Herbaceum (Cotton) Seed Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Phenoxyethanol. 

So it sounds lovely to me and I am excited, very happy it is a full size also. There have been a few things that were a little small to me in the past. I can't wait to see the colors of this month also, I wonder if they will do a 4th theme or something for it... maybe they will do a mystery box for the holiday.

Are you excited? What do you think the July colors and theme will be?

December Julep Maven Box & I'm A Golden Box Winner!

I became a Maven only a couple months ago. I heard that they gave a few people every month a golden box with either the monthly collection or a big seller but seeing how I have only 2 monthly boxes under my belt I did not think I'd be seeing a golden box at my front door anytime soon. I received an extra tracking number with my monthly box but since I placed an order after my December Box I thought that thing were just shipped apart but boy was I wrong!

I felt like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory opening the bigger box and seeing a golden ribbon wrapped around a white box. I opened the box and saw that I was a lucky Maven!

I won the This limited-edition white lacquer jewelry box that includes a twelve polish set of toxin-free Julep nail colors hand-picked by Oprah herself (Oprah is really into pink it seems!) and a lovely green yarn wishbone bracelet.

The goodie boxes that came to my door, I always keep the boxes. They are very handing when you need to ship something, just the right size for most things I need to ship this Christmas too!

The December Box goodies.
 I went with American Beauty instead of my Classic with a Twist box and I am truth be told regretting it. I liked the look of Patti (the black polish) when I picked the box but once I got it and have it a try I am just not digging it. It may just be the wrong time of the year for it too though, I have Christmas on the mind and it just does not fit. This box also came with a freebie DIY ring for a holiday gift from Julep but sadly mine was broken when I opened the box. Julep will be sending me a replacement shortly though!
 *update* I got my ring, see what I did with it here! *update*

Julia oddly is my favorite from this box, I did not think I was going to like but I really do. I think this color is going to be great for New Years with my add-on Vivien.

Patti, Patti, Patti... oh Patti. I want to like you but you make it so hard to, you are just not a lovely polish.

The foot scrub is awesome, I had my fiance use it and he loves it too. I think he likes it more then me :)

The bracelet that with golden box. I almost bough this for myself on Black Friday but did not, I thought it was pretty neat that it came with the box. As you can see the colors match my engagement ring perfectly! From what I saw I was the only one that got green, looks like the other winners got purple.

The box is really awesome too, it is great as a jewelry box.

I have a tall standing jewelry box but this will be nice to have by my bed for my favorite pieces.

After that Patti business I needed something girly, soft and wintery... also needed to play with some of those colors from that lovely box! I applied Carrie as my base color, Audrey went just before my top cost.

I was thinking kinda a pink winter night so I used Amy as my sky and Susie as my snow.

Amy on top and Susie on sponge, after my base coat was dry I rolled it over my nails from side to side.

Audrey went one top to give it some shimmer and then I applied my top coat.

Clean up your nails and you are done!

My first Julep Box.

I have seen a few boxed goodie offers here and there and after many months of thinking about joining one I decided to give it a try when I found the Julep Maven box.  I'd been meaning to try there polish anyway since a friend talked so highly of it. I joined but didn't sign up for my box, I wanted to check out their colors and maybe read a review or two but then I forgot to look up those thing and to sign up for the box. A few weeks later I got an email about their suede colors and an offer I could not pass up!

I took their quiz and found out that I am a classic with a twist.
The word "classic" threw me off but I was pleasantly surprise at how much I liked the colors and the bit of fashion shown for us twisty classics. After liking what I saw I signed up for my box and paid only $4, thank you very much email offer!    
On Saturday my brother who told me that I can a box on my patio and brought it in. I thought the box wasn't going to come till after the 27th but I guess your first box is shipped out right when you order it. My brother and sister were staying over for my sisters unbirthday, she turned 14 but her birthday was on a school day so we had it over the weekend so I could see her. Anyway, I couldn't play with it because family was over but today I cracked that baby open and look what I got!
Jodie, Sophie and The Best Pedi Creme Ever!
I am a fan of both color I got in the box. I couldn't decided witch to try first so I just went with both and they look pretty good together. I really like how beige/grey colors look next to my skin so Sophie is my favorite from this box.
Visit my blog post here to see how I made such clean lines.
My elbows get a little dry so I have been using the creme them, after just a few days they are very soft. I'm not gonna lie, I am not a huge fan of the smell. After a few minutes of it being on it smells lovely but when you first apply it the smell punches you in the face!

Overall I am very happy with my first box and I am very exited about my next. I don't know if I will like the colors as much but I can't wait to get the matte top coat polish I have as an add on.

Become a Julep Maven too!

November Julep Maven Suede Polish Box.

My November Julep Maven box has come!
Matte suede polish!
 I thought it wasn't going to come till this weekend but when I opened my door this morning there was a little black box with my name on it.
The goodies! 
This box was a lot cuter then my intro box, came with extra goodies too.
 Brit, Minka, 3 Polish Remover Pads and Body Frosting.
 My intro box didn't have the pads, it was nice to just whip off my old polish right when I opened the box and start to play with the new colors. Sadly, my matte top coat add on to was just shipped so it didn't come in the box.
The body frosting is a very lovely treat and I think when this runs out I will be buying more & it may be a Christmas gift for a couple people. It smells like sherbet!
 The back of the it made me smile too:)
To do your nails like mine, apply a base color (I used Brit) after your base color dies make a X with tape on your nails leaving a triangle at the tip. Paint the triangle with your feature color (I used Minka) and apply your crystals then top coat.
 To see a step by step tutorial and to see how I add the crystals check out my older post here.
The top picture is of the matte suede polish with no top coat and this picture is with a good ol' glossy top coat. I really like the Brit with the matte look and can't wait to get the top coat so it last longer but I do like the Minka better glossy.
So this was box 2 for me, so far pretty happy. I love the holidays so I am happy to see next month's box!

Julep July 2013 Review!

I got my box a little over a week ago but am just getting around to post about it... been too busy to play with my new goodies since I had friends and family over to the 4th.

Anyway, my Julep box came with a few surprises this month. The first being that my add on was in the box! I always thought it was a waste to break up an order for the packing materials and for the cost of shipping that may be eating away at a could be price drop/discount! A free goodie (which Julep is known to add in a box here and there) blotting papers, these came just in time for my road trip from Arizona to California to pick up my kid sister... 12 hours in a car while it was 119 degrees, I had some blotting to do.
The last surprise was how cute the boxes were! I saw on there facebook page that someone had made bookmarks with them. I have a few cute frame that I am going to put these in and hang it by my computer:)
I got the Modern Beauty box this month so I didn't get a polish in the box, I did get this beauty "Blakely" as my add on though. When I want both products I get the box with both and get the polish as an add on, it ends up saving me a few bucks for or Jules getting the products as a bundle.
I only used one coat of Blakely here, I was happy with the coverage. I added gold foil to the tips, you can see how I apply the foil here.
This is why I went with Modern Beauty... as soon as I saw this I had to try it! after using it a few times I don't know how I feel about it though. I tried it on dry hair and it was a no go, I tried it on towel dried hair and again no luck but then I tried with really wet hair and it worked! It seems for me I have to just brush my hair and spray it with nothing else in my hair and while wet. I was happy with how it looked and smelled but it does give your hair the feel of being at the beach. I'll play with it more and post pictures later, I need to play with it more.
Ah, the beach tonic. I was not crazy excited about it although I did want to try it. I sprayed it and I was very surprised at how much I liked it and how great a product it was. It was not oily after you rub it in, the scent is so light and lovely and it made my skin feel very nice.  My fiance likes the smell of it too, it is always nice to have the person always by you like the way you smell. He is not a fan of it n him though. I have already used a good chunk of the stuff, I love it and will be getting more of the stuff.
Here is a better picture of the boxes, too cute!
The freebie of the box that isn't even a sample size! I always love the freebies they add. I do hope that I see these is their shop soon, they are always handy to have on hand. I also getting married soon so these would be nice to add to my bridal emergence kit.
Best thing about this box is I used my Jules so it didn't cost me anything this month!

If you got the box what colors did you get? What was your favorite thing in it?
I'd have to say I like the Toxic the best.

If you’re not a Maven, sign up here, take the style quiz, and use the code FREEBOX to get your intro box for free (plus $3.99 shipping)!  You have until the 19th or so to be able to order the next coming box. There’s nothing to lose! If you don’t like what’s in the box, you also have until the 24th to skip if you don't want the box, and you won’t be charged a thing!

Nail Fail Turned Pretty!

I saw this video and really wanted to try this look with my new Zoya "Blu" polish
from my May Ipsy bag.
Sadly, my nails did not come out the way her lovely nails did. 
Tried the toothpick trick but it looks like poop.
 Maybe I didn't wait long enough because I had to keep going over it, it kept smoothing out.
 I added crystals but it didn't help and once I added the top coat all the lines were gone!
 So I did this :)
 I applied two coats of Blu and added Camille by Julep to the base of my nails with a single crystal to each nail.
 I applied 1 coat of Julep's Freedom top coat to finish.
 I love the second thought look and think Blu and Camille together look like fairytale nails, it is so pretty! 
I will have to give the criss cross nails a second try though, I do like that look too. 

Have you tried it and have any tips to help me out? 
I did see a second way of trying this look with nail art tape. It looks... time consuming :p

Send this look some love on my Ipsy profile
