Someone is turning 5 this year and decided to celebrate their anniversary with a bang! I have to be honest, I was quite surprised to receive my box on the 1st of the month; that's the first time this ever happened, so it was quite appreciated. Happy Birthday, Julep!
Julep
is a monthly nail polish and beauty product subscription at a
reasonable price of 24.99$/month. If you sign up on the 3-month plan
(pay for three months all at once), it costs 19.99$/month.
Subscribers get to pick their choice of beauty product and nail polish
on the 20th of every month and get billed on the 27th. They are also
free to skip a month if needed. You have the opportunity to add items
in your box as well and if you add three, you get a bonus gift. Also,
you ave the opportunity to upgrade the box to get a bigger part of the
collection, or the whole collection for a little bit extra.
This month, I decided to not do add-ons (I know, that's shocking!). I do have to limit myself or I end up getting duplicates. But, since it's Julep's anniversary, we got to have four items in our box. So, here are my picks:
I was in need of a new
buffer block so when Julep offered these as an option, I grabbed them. I'm surprised at how small these are though (1" X 1.5") but I'm sure they'll do exactly what I want them to do: file, buff and shape my nails while smoothing out the ridges on my nails. These retail at 4$ on Julep's website.
I've been eyeing this
Cleanup Tool for a long time. This is another item that is smaller than I imagined, but that's OK; it will work just fine. This tool is to clean up under the nails and removing polish from the cuticles. Retails at 14$ on Julep website.
And lastly, I have my nail polishes. This month, the selection included a lot of chrome polishes. I've stated before that I'm not a big fan of chrome polish because you can see the brush strokes after application. My only exception in duochrome or multichrome polishes. So, this month, I settles for the two polishes that weren't chrome.
Peggy (pictured on the right) is a charcoal with rose shimmer. This color is stunning; you definitely pick up on the rose shimmer and the charcoal looks a tad bluish but absolutely gorgeous!
Shirley (pictured on the right) is a charred sage microshimmer. Another gorgeous color; a beautiful shimmery olive green. I can't find this on the Julep website, unfortunately, so I can't link it...
Both polishes are 14$ each.
That concludes this month's box; total value of this box was 46$, more than double what I paid for it. I'm a happy camper.
