Julep Maven: Boho Glam for May!

So Julep has been after me for a bit by tempting me with a free first box, so I decided "What the hell". I only had to pay shipping on it, which was 2.99

I ordered it a couple days ago and it is already in my mailbox! Now that's quick shipping! I already knew what I was getting, of course. That is probably a mixed upside/downside sort of thing, I guess. I love being surprised but by picking which box I want, I have more control so I don't end up with something I hate or having to go through the bs that comes with returns or exchanges.

I chose the Boho Glam box this month, which also happens to be my Maven quiz result so I am trying out my own jam, so to speak.

This month I received the Mighty nail and cuticle pen. I can't figure out how to get the pen juice to the little brushy thing at the tip, but I will mess with it later. It seems pretty neat though. I can definitely get a lot of use out of this product. My hands and nails need some TLC after this long, rough winter.

The polish I got was Lena (they name all their polishes after powerful, inspiration women... they claim), which is a bright teal color with a lovely golden shimmer throughout it. I am in love with it immediately. The other is Elisa, which is what they call a wisteria shimmer. I am not sure how I feel about that one yet. I will have to actually apply it and play around before I make a solid decision. I would actually like to try and do a chevron pattern on my fingers with the two of them. That could be fun, but two entire hands of chevron might either be overwhelming to do or to look at. I will find out for sure as I play. I will take pics if I ever get around to that project. I digress. They also included two tiny little sponge things I can only assume are used to clean around your nails after a polish application. I am a beauty n00b, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

If you'd like to give Julep's Maven box a try, just follow this link. They will give you a promo code for a free box and you can basically try them out for 2.99 You really can't beat it for the price.

Enough of my chatter! Now on to the pictures of the un-boxing! Enjoy and live vicariously through my fun!

Terrible attempt at capturing the names. I guess I wasn't in focus that time.
