All My Maven and Maven Luxe subscribers have the option to upgrade and/or add on to their boxes every month.

Can I skip? You’ll earn a skip option every six months, allowing you to skip up to two boxes per year. Log into your account during the Monthly Maven Reveal (20th-24th of every month) to apply the option.

I have not upgraded my membership, so I have the option to pick which box I want.  I picked the Classic with a Twist box, which included the new plie wand.  I was excited to check out these goodies.

 

Julep included coupons in the box.  OILPERK gets you a free Bare Face Cleansing Oil with a $25.00 purchase.  You can also save 25% on Billiance Gycolic Hand Scrub with the code Brilliant25.  There is always a quote in the box “The best color in the whole world is the one that looks good on you” -coco chanel.

Julep included a full brochure on how to use the plie wand and the new add on tools.

I added on the precision tools this month, to go along with the plie wand.  The tools were the dotting tool and a striping tool.  I have always wanted to try nail art, so I was excited to try the tools.

Maddy – Classic with a Twist- This is a raspberry sorbet shimmer.  I love this shade, and it was the first one I tried.

Ramona – Classic with a Twist- This is a muted lavender rose crème.  This is not my favorite color but I think I am going to use it as an accent color.

The plie wand!  I had read several reviews about it being difficult to use, so I was a bit leery.  It's actually pretty nice.  I am not sure it was easier than my normal way, but it did work.  I thought it seemed easier to hold the wand.

FInal Thought: I really liked this month.  I love Maddy and the plie wand was fun to try.  Julep is a great subscription box.  You can earn jules (points) by getting a monthly box and referring people to Julep.  Once you get 2,000 points, you get a free box.  You get 1,000 jules per friend you refer.  I love Julep polish.  As a subscriber you also save 20% in the online store and you get free shipping!  You can try Julep FREE by clicking HERE and the code FREEBOX,  You can also subscribe and get a 5 piece set free with the code HELLOYOU, just click HERE.  There are a few other deals going on, you can click HERE and see all the Julep shop deals too.
