Best penny spent ever - Julep Maven Box

I just received my first ever Julep Maven Box in the mail. Considering I just signed on for the introductory offer (1 penny for the first Julep Maven Box, click here and enter code PENNY at checkout), 10 days later, I got my box already. Very impressed. I thought I would not get the April box.

For those of you who are not familiar with Julep Maven Box, it is a monthly subscription service. You pay $19.99 (plus tax, I believe) a month and will get $40 worth of nail polish and other beauty products. You can cancel the service any time or if you don't like that month's products, you can skip that month or sent the box to a friend of yours.

All you have to do is to sign up and you can fill out a brief survey. From the survey, they will suggest which box you should get. On every 20th of the month, you will receive an email indicating what products will be sent to you according to your profile (box chosen for the previous month). For example, I signed up for " Classic with a Twist" in March and when I got the email this morning, it was some foot scrub lotion which I am not very fond of. So I switched to "American Girl" to get my choices of nail polish.

I like this option better than other beauty product subscription service. This way, I know exactly what I'm getting instead of some products I would never use.


The package is sent from Seattle and it only takes 5-7 business days to arrive. 


Inside, comes with the box you chose. Mine this month is Classic with a Twist and an information card of all the products you are getting.



Nicely packaged. I love the hot pink paper bag.


Here is what I get for this month:

Julep Facial For Hands Glycolic Hand Scrub
Anne Julep Nail Vernis
Kelly Julep Nail Vernis
and a Julep nail file


They are 0.27 oz sized nail polish. If you get these at Sephora, it will be $14 each.



I'm excited to try this Facial for Hand scrub. Rough winter, dry skin.

This is by far, one of the most incredible boxes I got from monthly subscription service. I know I will use every single product in the box. Not to mention the introductory box only cost me $0.01, shipping and tax included. What an awesome deal!!
