Julep Maven has made some changes to their subscription service. Members who signed up on or after December 18, 2013, will only get to skip once every 6 months. If you are new to Julep, Julep is a beauty/nail polish company. Every month, maven can choose between 5 different subscription boxes full of nail polish and other beauty items for $19.99 a month. Previous to the change, maven could skip any month they want.
From Jane at Julep Maven “Inspired by YOUR feedback, we’re working on a few improvements to our Maven program to allow you greater freedom and more options in your product selections. For instance, you may have noticed that we’ve already added a “Core Classics†option that enables you to restock your past favorites. This has been a really popular alternative choice and based on your great initial response, there are more enhancements like this in the works.
Everyone will still have the flexibility to try a new style, pick a “Core Classics†box, send to a friend, or cancel at any time. However, in order to make sure that we’re never out of stock on the fabulous new product offerings coming to Maven, we’re simplifying the skip feature for our new Mavens. Starting with the February Maven Box, new Mavens will have flexibility to earn a skip every six months. And, of course, if you’re currently a Maven who joined before December 18, 2013, you are “grandmothered†in to the original terms with no changes to your skip options.”
I am not sure if this is really an improvement to their subscription service. I love the ability to skip, but that being said, I don't think I have ever skipped. I love my Julep Maven box and am glad I am a subscriber. You get free shipping in their store and access to exclusive sales.
Does this announcement change your opinion of Julep? What do you think of the Julep Maven Subscription Changes?

Stork Stack had shipping delays this month, so I didn't get my box till the middle of the month. Normally, Stork Stack ships the first of the month. This month, Stork Stack partnered with a new company A Harvest Company. Harvest products are made from natural & recycled materials like rice hulls, wheat straw, wood, potatoes, corn, wheat, soy, bee’s wax, bamboo, cotton & cardboard. This box was for a 22 month old boy.

I loved my first Austin Lloyd box, so I signed up for a subscription. You can read my first review HERE. The toys are bpa and phthalate free and are very unique. While I do shop at chain stores for toys, I love that Austin Lloyd includes unique toys, that are hard to find. You will never get toys with batteries with Austin Lloyd. The toys are also chosen to improve fine motor and cognitive skills. Each box is designed for the play level of the child. Austin Lloyd has a breakdown of child development on their website. You choose the play level that fits best for you child. Austin Lloyd has boxes from birth to age 3.
The box is $49.99 a month, but you can choose to go every other month too. Austin Lloyd also has a donation feature. Once you are done with the toys, and are ready to get rid of them, Austin Lloyd will send you a prepaid shipping label. You mail the toys back, and they will donate them to their partnering charities.
Austin Lloyd 2-3 year old January
Austin Lloyd has the cutest boxes and packaging of any child/baby box. Austin Lloyd really has attention to detail, from the cute stork sticker, to the drawings on the box.
Inside the box
