I had such a hard time choosing what to get. I love all the shades in this month’s box! I finally settled for the It Girl collection.

Jennine (It Girl): Full-coverage borealis blue stardust (matte glitter)
Phia (It Girl): Alluring orchid iridescent chrome
Savoy (It Girl): Antique gold chrome

As a bonus we got PIXIE STICKS! WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO

Julep Maven is a monthly nail polish and beauty subscription box. They make all their own products, so subscribers get a good value each month – over $40 retail worth of product for $24.99 a month. (Julep recently raised their prices, but apparently there will be more customization too. Current subscribers will keep the $19.99 rate).

And, if you sign up for 3-months up front, you also get the $19.99 rate!

Each month Julep releases a new collection on the 20th, and you can decide which box you want, you can upgrade to the entire collection, or you can skip that month. (They recently changed their skip policy – If you’re a new subscriber, you earn a skip every 6 months).

Julep’s May mystery box!  May Golden Ticket Mystery Box.

PRICE: $24.99 w/ FREE shipping

This month they offered three different Golden Ticket Mystery Boxes. They promised no overlap between boxes. Not only was there no overlap between box versions, all nail polish and beauty products featured in the Golden Ticket Mystery Boxes are NEW to mystery boxes this year!

Three lucky winners will find a gold-capped, confetti-filled polish bottle inside—a golden ticket! If you find it, you’ll get to name a Julep polish from an upcoming Maven collection. Once it’s released, you’ll get 25 bottles to share with friends.

I chose box Golden Ticket Mystery Box #3 and purchased the $14.99 ($42 value) Add-On. It was the May Birthstone Collection Pricilla. BEAUTIFUL!

*sigh* I didn’t find a golden ticket.

If they keep sending Forget-Me-Not seeds I’m going to have a field of them! Well, that’s if I plant them. 😛

Halo Gloss Set ~ Merriment & Peace. UHH so not new. I’ve seen these on the website since the Holidays. Grrrr. I’ve always wanted them though.

The colors I got are more suited for fall. Oh well.

NIC ~ Bombshell a creme finish

Scarlett ~ Classic With a Twist, Chrome Metallic/Chrome

Steve ~ Boho Glam, Sheer/Frost/Pearl

Shoshonna ~ It Girl, Glitter. yellow Glitter. UGH I think I got this is the March mystery box for St. Patty’s Day.

Glam Roc ~ It Girl, Special Finish.

With the exception of Glam rock, all polishes were from 2013. SO much for NEW

Needless to day, I did not get the June Mystery boxes. My luck they’ll be good LOL

So excited for this Julep’s May mystery box!  May Golden Ticket Mystery Box.

The Golden Ticket is for the glittery, gold star polish shown below. No, you won’t just get the polish if you find a Golden Ticket, which is in fact the polish itself, in your mystery box. You get to name it. PLUS you get 25 bottles to share with your friends. YaY!

While I am a little bummed  this beauty will not be included in every box, there will be no overlap in product with Box #1, Box #2 and Box #3. And everything remains a surprise this time. One bottle of the star glitter polish – the Golden Ticket – will be included in one Box #1, one Box #2 and one Box #3. So you have three chances to win.

PRICE:  $24.99 To  include over $100 in polish and product.

This month Julep offered a  Speckled for Spring Mystery Box. There were three boxes. You could select a box with either Emerson or Kimberly or get a 100% Mystery Box and be completely surprised! Each box is guaranteed to have at least $100 worth of nail polish/beauty items.

PRICE: 24.99

I chose Kimberly** (Boho Glam), a spring-inspired wisteria crème with black speckles.

The rest of the box contained:

Boho Glam Lengthening Mascara in Espresso Brown

Dakota ~ (Classic With A Twist) Rose gold metallic chrome.

Farrah (It Girl) Lilac Silk

Karen (Boho Glam) Peach bellini frost

**

Lois (Boho Glam) Dusty rose frost

Catrina(It Girl) Marigold yellow crème

Here is a better picture of the shades.

I am TOTALLY unimpressed with this box!! Usually mystery boxes are more festive and fun. No colored confetti, no candy, no cool bonuses. 6 polishes and a mascara. *YAWN*

Hi, Ho, Hi Ho, off to swap I go!

I paid for this box and all opinions are mine. There are affiliate links in this post. ~D

April’s Julep Maven theme is “The Vivid Collection”. I did not like ANY of the colors so I went with Modern Beauty again this month. Another reason is I wanted to try their new Blush and Bronzer. 🙂

Glow Pore Minimizing Blush (Peach Bellini) ($24 / $19.20): This is suppose to “diffuse the appearance of pores and imperfections”

Glow Pore Minimizing Bronzer (Light Golden Bronze) ($28 / $22.40): This is actually even lighter than my picture shows.  It looks dark here.

Sadly as beautiful as they are, neither one suites my skin tone so I had to give them away. 🙁 I should have just skipped this month.

If you’re not a Julep Maven already you can join at Julep Maven and use the code FREEBOX to get a complimentary intro box ($4.99 shipping). You can cancel any time. As a Maven you do get 20% off and free shipping when you shop the site as well. They have awesome “Secret” Shops and Mystery Boxes every month which I always get sucked into. 🙂
