Julep Ness & Julep Vibrant Virgo

Slowly catching up on journaling my Instagram posts again... This is Julep Ness and Julep Vibrant Virgo, both polishes that I picked up in my last ever Julep box in February. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2iTp2ZAiMq/ I wish I had tried these polishes earlier because now that I'm writing the post so late after Julep's upheaval early this year,...

LAST JULEP BOX: Julep February 2019 (A Star is Born) Maven Box unboxing

This is super, super late as I was waylaid by various significant medical surprises this year. I'm recovering now, and I'm more or less okay now, so I count myself lucky. Anyway, onward! According to my notes, my February 2019 monthly Julep Maven box arrived on February 22, following the same pattern of the last...

Is Julep dying?

If you follow this journal, you're probably aware that I've had some suspicions about Julep's business problems in the last few months, with late deliveries, little response from customer support, and changes to the subscription box that I was not a big fan of. Besides these clues that something was amiss, though, I hadn't actually...

Julep December 2018 (Bliss in the Kiss) Maven Box unboxing (with promo code!)

My Julep December 2018 box was again significantly delayed and didn't get to me until December 19th, which is only one day from selection day for the next month's box. I don't know what's going on, but we didn't receive any explanation this time, and my email queries to customer service went unanswered. 😦 I...

Julep Sloan

A palate-cleanser sort of polish this time: Julep Sloan, which Julep describes as an "Icy Primrose Shimmer," from my December 2018 box. I don't remember why I picked this color when I made my subscription box selections last month, but it must have attracted me at the time. Once in a while, I suppose, I...

Julep Surreal World duo: Bri & Azalea

The Surreal World duo ($20) is the other Julep holiday set that I ordered as an add-on to my December 2018 Julep box, comprising of: Azalea (Bombshell) – Pink Sunrise Holographic Microglitter A pale pink base loaded with fine holographic particles, nearly opaque in two coats, as in my photo, on the ring finger. Also makes a...

Julep Avant Garden trio: Binta, Bristol & Tammy

I'm so behind on blog entries, but hopefully I can catch up soon! This is the Julep Avant Garden trio ($30) that I bought with my December 2018 Julep box, which I received late that month. The three colors are: Bristol (Boho Glam) – Lavender Ice Metallic This color is on my middle finger and is a...

Julep Queen Anne

This is Julep Queen Anne, Julep's third anniversary commemorative polish color, described as a "Lilac Confetti Microglitter." I wore this while on vacation in early December because I wanted a low-maintenance polish that would 1) resist chipping and 2) hide any wear and tear well. Glitters tend to fit the bill, and this one didn't...

Julep November 2018 (Hand of Plenty) Maven Box unboxing (with promo code!)

My Julep November 2018 box was very delayed, apparently because Julep had trouble procuring the nail polish colors for this month. It might have just been the color I chose, though (Sandee), since my sister got a different color and received her box on time. More on that in a bit. Anyway, the innards: Eyeshadow...
