My August Julep Maven Box

I pulled a Britney, and OOPS…

I did it again.

I totally forgot to skip my August Julep Maven box.
But I’m not going to lie, this time I’m really happy that I did!

One reason, being the Brave Pretty campaign.

The other? What I got in my box.

Mari, a pretty holographic pink and Sophia, a brilliant bright blue, alone made the box worthwhile.

But after trying baked blush, I was maybe a little too excited to try this Skip the Brush blush crayon.

It’s so easy to apply and great to bring with you in your purse, because you don’t need a makeup brush to use it! Just apply directly and blend with your fingers.

Julep Maven boxes almost always include a little treat which is usually candy, but this month, they switched it up with tiny metallic temporary hand tattoos!

I will most definitely be rocking these.

Another perk?

I now have enough Jules to get the September box for free!

My April 2015 Julep Maven Box…Oops!

Remember when I said I wouldn’t be getting my Julep Maven box for a while? Well, I may have forgotten to skip this month and was really upset with myself. That is until I got my box, or rather, until I tried the beauty product included.

I have so much nail polish that, according to the manfriend and my family, I don’t need more. I say, I don’t need that kind of negativity. And that’s what my bank account tells me. I half joke…

But, what I do need is an endless supply of Don’t Leave Your Brows At Home in rich brown.

I have shared almost way too many brow products that I use. That’s because I really go through them. I like trying different ones, because the only way to know which one you like best is to try them all. Again, half joke.

But seriously, even when I don’t really put on a lot of makeup, I do my eyebrows.

Don't Leave Your Brows At Home in rich brown

This is my favorite, yes, favorite brow product to date. Minimal effort for eyebrows on fleek. I mean it.

And the polish colors are two that I know I’ll be using this summer. One of them is named Drew. (In case you didn’t know, the manfriend’s name is Andrew and thanks to all the college students we’ve worked with I call him Drew more often than he probably likes. Also, my niece and youngest nephew call him Uncle Drew. The other three refer to him as their aunt’s boyfriend…) Plus you can’t really go wrong with pink.

Next month I’ll go back to skipping, and set a reminder in my calendar so I don’t forget. And now I know what I’ll be using all my Jules Points for!

In case you were wondering, this month’s candy was the Everlasting Gobstopper.

My Last Julep Maven Box…

Yes, this is my last Julep Maven Box.

But not for the reason you might think.

Because of my current situation, I’ve had to make some big girl decisions and won’t be getting any boxes for a while… With the exception of Birchbox, because I have a year subscription, THANK THE LORD!

The plan was to skip the January Julep Maven box, but I was so intrigued by the Luxe Lip Conditioning Treatment, that I just couldn’t. I also really wanted the February Julep Maven box, but you have to draw the line somewhere…

Trust me, if I had it my way, I wouldn’t ever skip a month! Then again, I’m glad to have the option to when I need.

I got the January Bombshell box and it included:

And because Julep is just the sweetest ever, they added on a special little gift. (I thought I’d gone temporarily insane and spent even more money, but nope!)
