Julep May 2016 Unboxing

This is my very first Julep subscription box!  I had plenty of fun up until  now with the extras I ordered so it’s kind of strange that this is technically my first box.

I joined with the 3 month subscription plan which discounts the box to $20 a month (it’s $25 month-to-month).  This is my highest priced subscription but I love it so much because the quality is amazing and the discounted add-ons and sale prices that subscribers-called Mavens- get makes the higher cost valuable to me.

Anyway, let’s look at the pretty, pretty box:

Every month, Julep puts together a curated box based on the theme that month and the individual quiz that Mavens take on the website (my likes & dislikes, basically).

The great part is that before the box ships, I can go onto the site and switch stuff around. This month, I really wanted the Love Your Bare Face Cleansing Stick and the Night Shift Mask.  The curated box had 3 smaller items but the stuff I chose is of higher dollar value so I could only choose 2 items.  The Cleansing Stick and Night Shift mask retail for $60, so that’s a great deal on a $20 subscription box!

This is not deodorant! It’s an oil based cleansing stick for the face and it’s awesome.

I haven’t tried the mask yet, but the ingredients are great for my sensitive skin and it has good reviews.

Now, for the fun stuff…I love the look of these polishes all lined up.

And just look how nice they look in their new home in my nail caddie from Julep

I think it’s time to finish this blog so I can go do my nails!!!
