Julep Maven

As you might know by now, I think sample subscription services are pretty neat, so of course I jumped at the chance when I heard about the Julep Maven* service.

For the monthly fee of $19.99 you are sent two full size Julep nail polishes (a value of $28) and other selected treatments such as nail treatments, moisturizers and other goodies giving you a total value of at least $40. The items you receive in your first box are specially chosen for you, and are determined by a fun little quiz you take when you sign up. You can be classed as an American Beauty, Classic with a Twist, Boho Glam, It Girl, or Bombshell. After the first box, you get to preview what your selections are and can request a different selection if you don't like what was chosen for you.

Now, I know what you are probably thinking... $20 sounds like a lot. Well have I got a deal for you! Sign up now and you can get your introductory box for $4.99 (no stings attached.) Pretty awesome right? Go here and use code smh9oxu.

Want to sign up, but think every month might not be for you? As a member you have the choice of skipping a month, or sending it to a friend, or ending your subscription all together. You just have to let them know by the 25th of each month. They thought of every thing.


I received my Maven box pretty quickly after I signed up and was greeted to a sleek black box. When I opened it there was a nice letter from the CEO/Founder (I was one of the first 100 people to sign up), a sheet with FAQ type info, and a menu card explaining what I received. Under that was a black Julep paper bad filled with the goods.

My selection included:

• Alfre polish (new, unreleased fall shade) - a dusty, metallic lavender ($14)
• Cameron polish- a bright pink cream ($14)
• Julep Base Coat ($14)
• "Facial for Hands" Glycolic Hand Scrub ($32)
• Samples

$74 of product for $4.99. Pretty amazing! I haven't gotten a chance to try the polish yet, but of course I'll have swatches and a review up soon. Annd, I almost forgot, once you sign up you also receive a custom discount code giving you 20% off any future Julep purchases you make from their website. Not too shabby at all.

Would you sign up for the Julep Maven program?
