It’s time for the first Julep Maven Unboxing of 2015! I told myself I would start being good and skip some boxes, but…I was a sucker for this collection. This month’s theme was the Chrysalis collection, and it surprised me by how pretty it was! Here’s what came in my box:
Phyllis (Classic with a Twist) is described as a “soft petal pink creme.” I really enjoy neutral pinks, but I didn’t have anything like this in my collection.
Margit (It Girl) is a “mushroom with rose shimmer” polish. I’ve been really into neutral greys lately as well, and this one adds just a little bit more punch to a regular neutral creme. I like it a lot as a winter neutral – reminds me of snow!
Shawn (Bombshell) is a “bright poppy creme.” I love how bright it is – not just a red, but not really a true coral either. This warm, bright polish will definitely brighten up winter gloom.
The beauty product in this month’s box was a Luxe Lip Conditioning Treatment. I added on the Luxe Lip Conditioner, a basic lip balm, and its tip is supposed to also help heal, soothe and improve circulation in the lips. The balm is a little thick, and I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. But with winter on its way into the harshest part, I’ll take all the lip conditioning I can get!

This is a really nice January collection, and I’m pretty happy with it. What are your favorite polish colors for January?
