Julep Maven Intro Box Review: Eva & Sienna


I recently discovered a nail polish subscription site called Julep Maven. For $19.99 a month you get a box containing at least 2 nail polishes and a beauty product that is chosen for you based on a quiz you take to determine your style. The retail price of each box is said be be $40 {each polish retails at $14}.

Polish colors: Sienna, Eva.
If you don't like what's in your box, you have the option of skipping the month or requesting a different box prior to being charged for that month's box {each of the 5 style profiles has their own unique colors}. I was assigned the Classic With a Twist box, but I requested the Bombshell box instead because I liked those colors better :)

Finally, I used the coupon code "color2012" {I believe the code "penny" might also work the same} and got my first box for $0.01- a penny!

Here is a review and swatches of the box I picked:


Sienna- "Juicy raspberry crème"


Eva- "Sophisticated, shimmery gold"
 Both nail polished are opaque after 2 coats which is good since the more layers you add the higher the risk for peeling and chipping. Julep varnishes contain 8 ml of product compared to 15 ml in OPI and 
14 ml in China Glaze bottles. I'm glad I don't need to use a third coat as this would greatly dimish the amount of manicures you would get from one bottle.

The gold polish did have minor streaking and could have used a third coat, but if you're careful applying the polish 2 coats will be fine.





So far, it seems like a pretty good deal for the quality of polish you get {and for a penny this intro box was a steal!}
