It has been a minute! I am so sorry for the time between posts! I usually take an evening or two to write my posts, photograph and schedule them to go out but between a crazy workload and being sick, that just hasn’t happened in a good while. I’m here now though, with my August Julep Maven Box (finally). If you’re a Maven, you know that these boxes took forever to ship for a variety of reasons, but mine finally did arrive. And I got several Jules on top of it.
It looks like after you customize your box once, it happens all the time, so I did have another customized box this month for their Wanderlust collection! (At least, I couldn’t figure out how to go back to non-customization and that price…) Here’s what it looks like:
The Wanderlust Collection
August Maven Box
I got 2 polishes – Joyce (It Girl) and Neha (Bombshell). Here’s what they look like:
Joyce is a “lava red shimmer.” It looks like this will be a great polish for late fall/winter, but nothing super exciting. The reddish orange shimmer in the polish is really nice, though.
I’m really excited about Neha, a “sari magenta shimmer. It looked similar to a lot of polishes I already have initially, but after wearing it a while (I’m wearing it right now :), it looks different in different lights, sometimes pulling red or pink or purple. It’s really pretty and saturated, and a perfect nail color to transition into fall.
This month’s box also included eye gliders, and I got the plum glider in my box.
Upon further reflection, this was maybe not the best choice because I already have a few purple liners, but it is really nice. It’s pigmented, creamy and lasts a long time. I’m really interested in trying the taupe one, so I foresee a Julep order in my future….
Overall, I’m really happy with Neha, but wished I had made some other choices with nail/eye glider colors after seeing other boxes. As always, though, it’s so fun to get new nail polishes in the mail…and now the next window opens next week! Did you get a Maven box this month? What did you get?
