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...

Winter 2018 Pusheen Box unboxing!

December was a crazy busy month for me, and I just had no time to update this journal with my Winter 2018 Pusheen Box at the time I actually unboxed it. It's belated (I received this box on December 15!), for sure, but hey, it's still winter! ❤ This is my last one, so the...

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...

Fall 2018 Pusheen Box unboxing!

I received my Fall 2018 Pusheen Box this past Saturday! I think this is my favorite Pusheen box yet. It's hard to beat a sleeping kitty for cute. Plus, she's engaged in one of my all-time favorite hobbies. 😉 My box had a little bit of battle damage, unfortunately. One corner of the protective plastic...

Summer 2018 Pusheen Box unboxing!

A bit of a late unboxing for this Summer 2018 Pusheen Box - I actually received my box on July 26! Cute box, as usual, shrink wrapped in clear plastic to keep the cardboard clean. It's Pusheen with sprinkles/jimmies on her back! Looks like poor Pusheen was left out in the sun for a while,...

Spring 2018 Pusheen Box unboxing!

I received my Spring 2018 Pusheen Box on April 21st, but as usual, I just didn't have time to post about it right away. Here's a quick unboxing, though: This quarter's theme is Celebration Pusheen, who's holding a bunch of bright balloons. The gold foil balloon is a nice touch. Also, the box arrived shrink wrapped in...

Julep April 2018 (Bold Confection) Maven Box unboxing (with promo code!)

Quick unboxing post for my Julep Maven April 2018 box, which came in on the 7th! (My spring Pusheen box came in today, so I better get this posted before things start piling up!) This is the "Blowing Bubbles" curated box: Way Butter Hydrating Lip Sheer in Primrose ($20 regular, $16 Maven), Mauve Pink Sheer 3.2...

Julep March 2018 (Press Forward) Maven Box unboxing (with promo code!)

A bit late, as I received my Julep March 2018 box back on the 10th, but it gave me a chance to try out all the products before posting. 😉 This month, I just went with the "Night Moves" curated box that was suggested to me, which included: Dream Big Nightly Renewal Pressed Serum with BHA...
