In December I was browsing Facebook and came across Julep Maven. I was never a nail polish person before in my life – I only ever went to get my nails done by my best friend or by the salon near my house. Always black. When I came across the Julep ad, it was for the Nice and Naughty Mystery Box. It was only $19.00 for $100 worth of product! Mysteries are my weakness. Ever since that day I got suckered into Julep, and polish in general. I now have almost 200 polishes, 125 of them currently being Juleps. I would suggest Julep to anybody who is curious or loves polish because there are so many colours and finishes to choose from, you can get a monthly subscription box or you can order polishes just off the website, and although the price is high for polish, you can often get them in amazing sales! However they currently only ship to the U.S and Canada.
If you’re considering joining Julep’s monthly subscription, here is some information you may find useful. Your first box for the subscription will only cost you $2.99, for shipping. This is set so that you have a chance to try their products for “free” before committing! However – YOU WILL BE SUBSCRIBED. If you sign up before the 18th of the month, you will be able to receive the next monthly box. If you sign up after, you can get the month after. The price monthly is $24.99, giving you the option to customize your box the way you’d like it, as opposed to choosing one of their pre-selected styles:
It Girl - You’re into cutting-edge colors and finishes that make a statement. Three nail polishes in every box.
Classic With A Twist - You’re drawn to chic, elegant colors that pair well with any occasion. Two nail polishes & one full-size beauty product in every box
Boho Glam - You favor a mix of earthy tones and playful, vibrant colors. Two nail polishes & one full-size beauty product in every box
Bombshell - You love bold, glam colors and anything that sparkles. Two nail polishes & one full-size beauty product in every box
Modern Beauty - You’re always first to try the latest, most innovative products. Two full-size beauty products in every box
To select your colours, you go to the Julep website and click “My Account” at the top. The window opens on the 20th of every month (around 9:00EST) and closes on the 24th. You can look through your options and choose what you’d like. If you don’t like the colours that they released this month, here is the information on “skips”. You may hear people talking about getting grandmother’ed in to unlimited skips. That is because they signed up before December 18th, 2013. They are able to skip any month they choose. If you’re a new Maven, you can earn a skip once every six months, so twice a year. If you don’t have the money for it or as previously stated, don’t like the colours, call customer service at 1-877-651-3292 to talk about your options with someone there. Chances are they will skip for you! They bill you on the 27th of every month so if you don’t want a box make sure you call before then. It takes a while to ship, which is one major issue going on at the moment, but it WILL get to you. If you have a problem with a product you received, you were missing a product, or something broke, you can call them and they will replace it. You won’t have to send anything back, they’ll just send you a new one for free. They have also been known to accidentally send you multiple polishes or the wrong order and if you call them they will let you keep everything, AND send you the correct products. I have had nothing but good experiences with Julep’s customer service. The telephone lines can take forever to get through which is why it is ideal to call when they open.
Another great part of Julep is that when you take your box, you earn “Jules”. You earn Jules for Maven boxes, your Maven anniversary AND your birthday! If you save up your Jules, you can use them as money! 2000 Jules equals a free Maven box, 5,000 for a Polish Lovers Upgrade, 7,500 for an Ultimate Upgrade, 950 Jules for a polish from the previous month as an add on, and 750 for a polish from a month before that.

- Customizing your box the way you want it.
- Free shipping for Mavens!
- Polishes are $14 for anyone, $11.20 for Mavens! Discount!
- Over $40 value in every box!
- If you get someone else to join under your referral, you get $15 credit!
- For every box you take you earn Jules, which can eventually be put towards purchases and counts as money!
- If you take your box you get access to the Secret Store – lots of discounted deals!
- All of their polishes are 5-free and vegan!
If you want to cancel your Maven subscription, you have to call. There is no way to cancel online. People have had issues cancelling and my suggestion if you have that is to try pressing a different number instead of “Cancel Subscription”, such as “Billing Inquiries”. Make sure you get the confirmation email from them.

I would most definitely recommend Julep if you love polish! The $2.99 to try doesn’t hurt! All of my experiences have been great and I will recommend this brand and company for as long as my good experiences last!
