Impressed with Julep Maven

A couple of weeks ago, I received my May Julep Maven box.


My box includes Kylie and Ellie nail polish, a nail magnet, Pedi prep roller, a makeup bag and a foot scrub.


By the way, my box this month is the American Beauty box. Included is a magnet which I have no idea what it is. But fortunately have an information card. Says apply a base coat and let it dry. Then apply a generous second coat and quickly hold the magnet very close to (but not touching) your nail for 10-15 seconds. Then finish with a topcoat. I haven't tried that yet but that looks easy enough to try.

When I first opened Kylie, I was so excited about the color but the brush caught my attention.


I have never had brushes like that. I was so eager to try the new nail polish that I kind of ignore the bad brush. But find it extremely hard not to " paint outside the lines". 

Went on Facebook and other bloggers and find out a lot of people received the bad brushes like I did. Emailed them and within a day, got an email back from them saying they were working on sending replacement brushes out.

1 week later, I got the replacement brushes, together with this card :


Cute, huh?


yay, good brushes!


I absolutely love these 2 colors. My 2 favorites so far.
