Julep Maven March 2013 It Girl Box



Get Ready to Play!

If I wasn't ready for spring already, my March Julep Maven box no doubt would get me in the mood for the new season. This month they changed the maven style that I was assigned to so I permanently changed my Maven style to "It Girl." At least until I change my mind again.

The extra little goodie this month was Julep's Strawberry-Mint Lip Balm. I like how smooth it and that the mint is super subtle. Yum!

The assorted pastel colors that Julep Mavens got to choose from was absolutely delightful. The creamy chalk-like colors made me think of Easter.


Teri

Oh my goodness I'm obsessed with this pinky-coral color. It goes on so creamy, like buttah! I almost stopped at one coat, that's how good it goes on.


Shenae

This mint green laquer isn't as thick as Teri, but still goes on super smooth. I adore the shimmery opalescence!


Simone

This soft lilac color also was not as thick as Teri, but still super creamy with a pretty blue opalescent shimmer.


The Add-Ons

Conditioning Nail Polish Remover

This stuff is by far the best polish remover I've ever used. Somehow it really does leave my hands and nails feeling conditioned instead of stripped dry. Plus, the pump makes is so easy to use for an accident-prone fool like me! I've already gone through my first bottle and it was time to get a replacement so picking it as one of my add-ons was the perfect choice.

This polish is touted as a pastel pink, but I found it had a too much orange in it to be purely pink. It was the thinnest consistency of the bunch and also had a pretty iridescence.


Lucky

This festive green with hints of gold glitter mix is Julep's nod to St. Patrick's Day! One coat would nicely do the trick, but I went for two coats for maximum opacity.


Final Thoughts

All in all, the pastel colors were all perfect in my opinion. And despite the fact that I ended up with two very similar colors, I'm pretty stoked about my selections and can't wait to start mixing these colors into future manicures!

Did you get a Julep Maven box this month? What did you get and what did you think? I'd love to hear!
