Julep Classic with a Twist Introductory Box

 

I received my Julep Maven box in the mail yesterday. Thanks to Jen she sucked me into another box! But, this one only cost me $4.00!!! Yup! If you join the Julep site and order a monthly subscription you can use code JULEPVIP and your first box is .01 plus $3.99 for shipping instead of 19.99!

 

You take a test to see what style you are and those are the boxes you receive. Julep is nice enough to let you change what you want to get in your box each month if you don't like what nail polish is being sent to you, or send a month to a friend, or skip a month.

 

I am Classic with a Twist. Sounds just like me. I also really liked the polishes in that box.

The first look

 

 

(I received a card that said the name of the box etc. but with my horrible camera phone I couldn't get a good picture.)

 

 

The goodies

 

Julep Meryl- a great grey polish that can go with any bold color or neutral. I recently bought a pair of earrings just to go with this nail polish because I knew I was getting it.

 

Classic with a Twist Barbara- I haven't tried this polish yet but it's a shimmery purple/magenta color. This will be a fun everyday polish!

 

Julep Essential Cuticle Oil- I'm not sure about cuticle oil but I'll give it a shot. I haven't seen if this is practical but I've heard it's a rollerball? That's weird to me. I'm used to a brush or a dropper. We'll see how this goes!

 





Julep Vanilla Mint Lip Balm- I think everyone got this as their surprise goody. I will be trying this out and seeing if it compares to my Burt's.

 

 

I will say this is an awesome box! Considering I got it for $4 and one polish is $14! If you pay the full $19.99 you're still getting 3 items for free. I think this is worth it!

 

 

I will be having more subscription box reviews soon! I received my Graze box and another Cravebox. I'm getting my Birchbox and the Julep Cupid Mystery Box soon! (Yes, Jen you got me to buy the Cupid box!)

So WHAT! Wednesday

It's So WHAT! Wednesday over at Life After I Dew and I'm linking up. 

So WHAT if...

• I've spent way too much money this paycheck. It's the Holidays and that's always an excuse, right?
• I have TONS of blog posts to do but honestly don't have anytime to do them/ I've never gotten into the habit of scheduling them early. {This is why they never get done.}
• I don't like posting more than once a day {Maybe twice like today. I'm weird like that, I know.}
• I got lazy this year and won't actually be wrapping any of the presents I'm giving. {Thank you Erin Condren for decorated gift boxes! These are cute anyways.}
• I caved and bought a Life Planner again. I found a five dollars off code and only spent $2.95 on shipping! Plus it will get here by Christmas Eve!
• My entire most of my wardrobe consists of Old Navy. This is what happens when you work at a clothing store that finally has cute stuff for cheap!
• the boyfriend knows what part of his Christmas present is this year. He needs new sneakers like yesterday and we found some he likes!
• I didn't really want the Winter Favorites Cravebox but got selected for it anyway. Oh well. It will be fun seeing what's in this one!

What are you saying So WHAT! to this week?
 

Random Thoughts

-Today was a GREAT mail day! I received my Coffee Lovers Cravebox{*} and Influenster Cosmo VoxBox{**}.

-Speaking of mail days, I LOVE December! Lots of fun packages are coming/have all ready been received and the holidays are in full swing. I will show you all how my packages are stacking up once they all get here.

-It feels like Springtime here. I will be so happy when Mr. Winter decides to show up! I'm ready for coats and bundling up and going on Christmas light tours.

-I'm trying to decide what type of Planner I want to use for next year. I love my Erin Condren Life Planner but really don't like the price tag. I've been hearing a lot about May Books. Can someone tell me how this planner is set up? I like using a calendar and having a weekly view so I can write my lists and appointments.

 -I have all most all of my Christmas shopping done!!! My mom, sister and I are all going in on a present for my dad, I have one or two more things to get my sister and I just ordered some lotion for my mom through Birchbox! Hello free points! I think I might get my mom one more thing. I'm still needing to figure out what to get the boyfriend. My Old Navy order has some jeans in it but he needs those like last week!

-If someone could tell me how to get these affiliate links going I would love them forever. Miss Jen is throwing affiliate links every which way and getting free stuff. Hello! I want free stuff too!
