Julep Maven Box Review – December 2014 + Coupons + Free Box Offers!

Well holy Moly Julep, did you send a big enough box this month? December’s Julep theme was the Countdown Collection and I added on 3 items. Julep is a monthly beauty subscription – nails and more! You get a monthly box according to your profile, or you can upgrade to a customized subscription. If you’re not already a Maven, get a FREE Maven box!  You’ll get 3 polishes and a beauty item! I show all the boxes available that you can get for free below the review.  Mavens – shop coupons are there too! Don’t forget to check out the Julep 12 days of gifting!

For some reason – and Julep did this to everyone – they sent them double boxed, and eyeshadows separately!

I included the polishes in the photo above for scale. With my subscription this month I received several cubic feet of packing materials! 🙂

I need to start keeping a list of the polishes I didn’t select but I still want, because every time I look at my box and then insert the photo of the whole collection at the top of the post, I get grumbly that I didn’t get that polish too.  This month it was Rochelle. Why didn’t I get that beautiful pink polish? WAH.

I’ll live because I got three gorgeous polishes! See the whole December collection and individual polishes here.

• Nell Blushing holographic full-coverage glitter – I like using these as toppers and by themselves. Super fun!
• Soleil Lustrous rose gold chrome – in doing my review I noticed this one has terrible reviews, so I immediately put some on.  The reviews say it comes off in sheets and I’m checking that with no base coat. If it does come off then I’ll try it with the base coat. If it’s still no good, I’ll email Julep. Easy.
• Ilga Rich Bordeaux crème – a rich red that’s perfect for winter and for the holidays!

When I opened my box I was totally puzzled – why did I order a lip primer Brandy? Well I didn’t – this was a freebie because I ordered 2 add-ons. I also got the gel glider sharpener as well as a polish in addition to the 2 polishes and the liners and shadow!

During December’s reveal Julep sold holiday items at Black Friday prices so I ordered the Stargazer set. Guess I didn’t realize it came with a sharpener! 🙂  It’s 24.99 today and you can use code TENOFF to grab it for $15, which is an amazing deal for 5 gel eye gliders. I love these!

I also purchased one of the new Julep orbital eyeshadows! I picked Zenith: Cocoa with gold pearlescence. It’s a pretty shade!

I did do some extra damage with my box this month – a standard box is 2 polishes and the beauty item (the eyeshadow this month) or 3 polishes, and for $20 bucks it’s a great little beauty pick me up. And so far that soleil polish is just fine (dries fast too!).
