I finally decided to try Julep (after many many facebook suggested posts)! To be honest I went into it not thinking I would continue my subscription after the first box, as it is a little pricey and I have SO many things I subscribe to! But you get your first box free so I signed on up.
Julep is $24.99 a month and comes monthly like most boxes. It says it is filled with $40+ of product. You can log in during your preview window each month and decide if you would like to keep your box, or you can send it to someone else. There is no option to decline it altogether which is the catch. Also if you decide to cancel you have to call (no online option) so they make it a little hard to get out of the membership.
You take a style profile to see what kind of Julep maven you are (however if you don't like it you can switch to another profile with a click of a button). I was "classic with a twist". My first box I found a promo code on their site which gave me a larger welcome box (3 nail colors and 2 full size products).
Shipping was VERY quick (in a couple days) and that is the only thing I paid for (so it was about $3.50 total).
Here is what I got in my welcome box (note that each welcome box is a little different as a neighbor got hers a week later, same style profile and got different things!).
The box was packaged very nicely:)
3 nail colors:
Thoughts: my daughter took the pink and purple right away which honestly I was ok with. They were a little bright for my taste and had a hint of sparkle in them that I felt I was a little old for. But I loved the orange for summer!
Lip gloss:
Thoughts: I hate lipstick but love lip gloss and this was in a great summer shade. It doesn't feel sticky either which is really nice.
Double sided eyeliner and sharpener:
Thoughts: Love! I own a million eyeliners and they are all black (except a great eggplant color I got in my birchbox in April). I don't own a brown so having a brown and black pencil was something simple that I was missing in my makeup bag:)
Final thoughts: I really liked this box but it was bigger then a normal box would be. I am keeping the subscription for the moment because I had a couple referrals so my next box will be free. After that I am not sure. With birchbox and my ipsy box coming that's $40 in boxes! I do love that these are full size though so I may end up cancelling the others and keeping this. Hmm... to be decided!
(I received no compensation or free items for reviewing Julep).
Do you want to be a julep Maven (you will get a free welcome box in an email if you sign up!)
