Set Sail
It's been a few months since a Julep Maven box has been on the blog.I have skipped my last few boxes since my nail polish collection was overflowing and I decided to sign up for the BoxyCharm box. Not having ordered the box recently it completely slipped my mind to cancel the May box (happy accident I say!). It's not that I don't like the Julep boxes it's just I was trying out a new box and I have to cut costs somewhere right?
This months box theme was "Set Sail" and all about the adventures the coming months of summer will bring. Box choices included nail polishes ranging in shades of classic red white and blue to bright pink, purple, mermaid green and coral. New products this month were the Feels Like Velvet Eyeshadow Duo and 4 new bright shades were added to the lip crayon line named It's Balm.
Since I forgot to cancel my box I didn't have a chance to choose which style I wanted and was sent my standard Classic with a Twist box.
Box Contents:
Amanda - Pink Dahlia CrèmeShelby - Navy Ink Crème
Feels Like Velvet - Moonlight & Starlight: Matte lilac grey & white sand shimmer
The eye shadow duo is nice, it is velvety to the touch like the name suggest and has decent color pay off. Although I think the formula is a too soft as I was getting a lot of fall out when applied to my eye lids. There were 5 different combinations and if I had a chance I probably would have picked the Luck and Magic set.
I haven't had a chance to wear the blue polish (Shelby) yet but I did test out the bright pink shade(Amanda). I forget how much I love the Julep polish formula, It applies in thick even coats so you only need 2 coats for an opaque color. The formula is also long wearing, these pictures were taken 6 DAYS after I painted my nails! Seriously though I could not believe I didn't have any chipping. I usually chip after just a couple of days!
