The Julep Box looked a bit different this month.

016

There was a card inside for their new Matte Metallics line. Inside the card was information about the new Restorative Facial Milk.
014

Julep also included a booklet of their new Holiday Collection. They have some great stuff and you can check it all out HERE.

015

Here is a look inside the book.

For the first time ever (in over 2 years), I forgot to customize my box, so I got the default polishes.

Suzanne (BoHo Glam) Scarlet with gold microshimmer. I love this matte red polish. It has a great shimmer to it and is gorgeous.

Kerry (BoHo Glam) Fluted gold matte metallic. Had I remembered to customize my box, I would have switched this out for another color. I love the matte effect, but I rarely wear gold.

004

Here are swatches of Suzanne and Kerry.

006

All mavens (providing you responded to the email), got Melody, a special effect nail polish.

Melody (It Girl) Iridescent high gloss glitter top coat. This is a really neat top coat. Julep encourages you to really shake this up, as there is heavier glitter inside.

008

Here is a comparison of the top coat. From left: Suzanne (no top coat), Suzanne with Melody, Melody alone. This is designed to be worn over a top coat, but minimalists can wear is alone for a barely there sparkle.

What Your Skin Needs Restorative Facial Milk This is a brand new product from Julep and promise to infuse your skin with moisture.

Here is the breakdown of ingredients from the Julep page:

Olive Oil keeps skin soft and supple
Jojoba Oil heals skin and locks in hydration
Argan Oil repairs and replenishes skin with essential fatty acids
Coconut Oil calms skin with natural anti-inflammatory properties
Squalane (plant derived) absorbs rapidly and helps the entire oil blend go deeper

I have tried this a couple of times and so far I am pleased. This soaks in not long after application and didn't make my T-zone oily, a major plus.
012

There was a $10.00 off $20.00 coupon and a sucker!

001

Final Thought: Given that I didn't pick out anything in my box this month, I was happy with my selections. I would have switched out Kerry, but I will use it as an accent polish. I will be sure to make my selections for December, but overall, the November box was great.
