Spotlight: Julep Maven May Box

Welcome back gals!

I just received my Julep Maven box for May and I couldn't wait to share it with you. Now I'll be the first to admit that I have been a total polish addict and having just bought an entire collection of nail polish I decided to try out something new this month!

As you might have read in a my previous Julep box post, one of the things I most enjoy about being a Julep Maven is the fact that regardless of my style, I can choose whatever style box I like most for any given month, a perk that other beauty subs just don't permit.

Julep introduced a new style known as Modern Beauty, which is perfect for gals like us who love to try out new beauty products.

The entire Julep Maven May Jazz Collection was inspired by the '20s jazz age, which is great considering that I've always loved that era, but it just so happens to be the it thing because of the new  Great Gatsby flick coming out in less than a week!

Wee!


This month's Modern Beauty box includes:

  • The New York Jazz Lipstick Tio 
  • Sugar Smooch Lip Scrub
  • Volumizing Mascara
  • Floral Hair Clips
Let me start off by saying that I loved the entire packaging of every product in this box as it perfectly captures the essence of that era. Even my boyfriend commented on how nice everything looked, as I was testing out everything.

My favorite item thus far is the lip scrub, which not only smells yummy but leaves my lips feeling soft, smooth and totally kissable.

While the lipstick colors are very pretty, I was a bit disappointed at the sheerness of two of the colors. Lady in Red is the only color with a pop and I cannot wait to wear it and paint the town red!

I have yet to test the mascara, but will definitely update this post once I have. Lastly I'm not sure I'll use the floral clips but they are totally adorable. 

Are you a Maven yet? If not, you can use code: FREEBOX to get your first box for free!
