Are You A Julep Maven? – Review & Giveaway!

How many of you have heard of Julep? Ever since I became a total polish freak, I have been keeping track of everything polish related as if my life depended on it. How many collections can one person possibly keep track of? The scary part is that I am a crazy polish savant and seem to remember the name of every polish and what collections they come from. Weird, right?

So, it’s about time I started looking into the Julep world. The intro box that I chose is the Boho Glam box which came with two bottles of nail polish and a tube of pedicure cream/moisturizer.

Julep polishes in Toni and Sasha and a tube of The Best Pedi Creme Ever!

I picked the Boho Glam box because of Toni. I know some of you are probably sick of the purple/greige polishes, but I am still seriously in love with them especially now that fall is coming. Sasha is not a color I would normally choose, but I’ve been trying to branch out a bit in my polish choices. I was also really looking forward to the pedi creme because I am always looking for something that will moisturize and exfoliate without being crazy greasy. When I looked at the tube closely, I noticed that there were mint leaves on it and my heart fell. I absolutely hate mint/peppermint scents on lotions because I always get headaches when I use them–especially if I apply them before bed. Well, I am happy to report that the mint scent is very faint and it smells more like cucumber to me: refreshing and cooling. I have used this pedi creme two days in a row and I have to tell you that I am in freaking love with this stuff. I don’t think that my feet have ever been as soft and best of all, the creme is not greasy at all. I will definitely be using this every single night…it’s a lifesaver. No more freaking out about wearing sandals or flip-flops!

I decided to wear Toni today:

Julep calls this a greige with a hint of lavender, and I think that it is a perfect description. It applied like a dream, and I only needed two thin coats for full opacity. I can’t get enough of creme polishes!!!

  1. HMM. I have heard of these Julep boxes and was like, huh, guaranteed monthly nail mail, alright, alright. I think I even took the quiz, but then I waffled at thinking that I may be paying a monthly fee for a box of stuff I don't like! However, I just learned from your post that you get to preview it and do whatever you want, so…that's good!
    I've never tried any Julep products. That greige looks really good on you, though!

    1. I felt the same way until I really looked into it. I really like the polishes so far. I took a shower an hour after I did my mani and I didn't get any tip wear or anything so that's pretty cool. You should try them. 🙂 And I know I wrote about that freaking pedi creme, but I can't recommend it enough. It's ah-mazing.

  3. I am so not a fan of this soft colors, I love bright polish but I think I just may give them another chance this fall season. It looks great on you though.

    1. I was like that too…then I just threw all my reservations out the window and started wearing every color under the sun. 🙂 I think that the loud bright colors are more my style certain days but I also tend to be more conservative other days. I love both.
