Julep Cupid’s Mystery Clutch Review + Coupons + Free Boxes
Disclosure: This box contains affiliate links
Julep released a brand new mystery box and I will let you know, it's pretty cool. The Cupid's Mystery Clutch is filled with a beautiful black sparkly bag, polishes Yuki (Classic with a Twist), and Valentina (Bombshell) and other mystery goodies worth $100.00. Just a note, Julep uses no maven prices when figuring up the retail value of boxes. One person will even win a Tiffany & Co Elsa Peretti Open Heart Necklace! You can also use the code GETCOLOR to get a free polish with a $15.00 purchase.
The mystery box arrived super quick! I think this is the fastest a Julep box has arrived to me.
First Look
The clutch is a black bag. This is really pretty and it has a little handle on the side. I will admit, there is no way I can fit everything I need in this tiny bag. This will be a makeup bag in one of my bigger, nicer bags.
Yuki (Classic with a Twist) $11.20 The polish itself is a bearly there pink. There are little white glitter pieces that add to this polish. The white hearts are a bit hard to get out, but it's a really beautiful polish.
Valentina (Bombshell) $11.20 This is a pink chevron glitter top coat. The little pieces of glitter look like hot pink foil. It goes on pretty sparse, so you have to do multiple top coats to get a full coverage look. This would look great over silver I think.
There was a special deal (sold out now), that let you add the wedding duo free ($33.00 value) , when you spent $20.00.
The box came with Sienna (Classic with a Twist) $11.20: Sophisticated, shimmery gold
Fifi (It Girl): $11.20 Tea time pink crème.
Julep Eye Glider in Navy Smoke $12.80 I love the Julep eye gliders. They truly glide on your eyelid. I am overrun with eye liners, but I like that this is a navy color. The navy really looks good with my blue eyes.
This is a swatch of Navy Smoke.
Julep Lip Gloss in Posh $16.00 I love Julep glosses, they are actually my favorite lip gloss. They colors glide on and they don't feel heavy or sticky. This is the color posh and it's a beautiful berry color.
Jessie Bombshell $11.20 This a Deep Kalamata crème (purple). This is a pretty color, but I already have it. I will gift or swap this one.
Myriam Classic with a Twist $11.20 This is described as a casino red crème. It has an orange tint to it and I don't think I own this. I really like the color and it seem very Spring.
Margit It Girl $11.20 This is described as a mushroom with rose shimmer. I really hate anything close to brown on my nails. so this one isn't my favorite. I will gift or swap this one.
Final Thought: This box had a total value of $84.80, and that's not counting the wedding duo set. I really love this mystery box, and I think this is my favorite one so far. All the colors were really pretty, even if I already had them. Well, I didn't really like Margit, but that's just one polish. The two featured polishes with that cute bag, made this box totally worth it for me. Remember you can also win a Tiffany necklace!

This mystery box looks great! I would have loved it if I had gotten it. There were lots of items and they all looked like things that I would like. That being said, at $84.80 it fell short of the promised $100 value. That would have made me unhappy. I have always loved juleps mystery boxes. I have learned the hard way that mystery boxes are usually a bad idea. Juleps is the only one that I would buy because they were always great. The last one that I got was promised to be worth $50. I got two polishes and one eyeliner. What made it worse is that it was delivered in a really large box! I was so excited when it was delivered! The box was as large as the ones that you see at the grocery store. I opened it to find two other relatively small items that I had ordered and two polishes and an eyeliner sitting on top of lots of filler paper. I looked through the paper to see if I had missed anything. I sent an email to Julep and they didn’t respond.
That stinks. They calculate the value based on non-maven prices. So my $84.00 box was over $100.00 using non maven prices. I would try to call them. I have always had good luck via phone.
