The Julep Maven window is open today, so I was able to log in and see what I'm getting next month and make any adjustments. I'm really excited about the upcoming box! I have to say, Julep is the only subscription box I still receive every month. I used to get quite a few, and have slowly been giving them up...in fact, I just cancelled the last two I was hanging on to...Birchbox and Ipsy, because they're just not exciting to me anymore. I feel like they keep sending repeat or similar products and a lot of them aren't really a great fit for me. They've just gotten...well, boring!

For May, the Modern Beauty Box contains a duo eyeshadow palette called Feels Like Velvet and a full-coverage lip crayon with a moisturizing treatment core in the middle called It's Balm.

It's funny because when I first signed up for Julep, I planned on a 2 or 3 month trial run and figured I would probably cancel it soon after because how interesting could a nail polish subscription box be? At the time, Ipsy was wowing me every month with exciting new products and plenty of full sizes, so I assumed I was going to be with them for the long haul.
Well here I am a year and a half later, still going strong with Julep...and I haven't been disappointed in a box yet!
I originally signed up for the Julep Modern Beauty Box (there are 5 boxes to choose from). Modern Beauty isn't a nail polish box...instead you get 2 full-sized Julep beauty products. They can be anything from skincare to makeup, or a combination of the two. There have been one or two months where I decided to go with one of the other boxes if the beauty products didn't interest me, or if one of the nail polish boxes was so amazing, I just had to have it. Some boxes come with 1 beauty product and 2 nail polishes, so those are a great combination of the two.

Here are the shades they chose for me...plus I decided to add on a nail polish I liked from one of the other boxes (it's free using my Jules, or points). Each month, you get 300 Jules to spend and 1 nail polish costs 600 Jules. That means every other month I can add on a nail polish for free!
One of the best parts about Julep is that they let you choose your colors. I wasn't crazy about the eyeshadow shades they picked for me because I don't think I'd wear that peachy shade, so I chose a different one...
You can also click "Try a New Style" and try a different box altogether. Here's what's in the other 4 May 2015 boxes:
Boho Glam- 2 Nail Polishes and 1 Beauty Product:
Bombshell- 2 Nail Polishes and 1 Beauty Product:
Classic With A Twist- 2 Nail Polishes and 1 Beauty Product
It Girl- 3 Nail Polishes:
Each box costs $24.99 if you pay by the month, but if you sign up for a 3 month subscription, it's $19.99 a month. It's become my favorite subscription box and has never let me down. I love the fact that it's so customizable, you can get free add-ons, and you're getting full sized products every time.
If you're thinking about signing up, here's a free gift that you'll receive with your subscription...it contains 3 nail polishes ($14.50 each) and one lip gloss ($16) in gorgeous summer colors...a $60 value:
