July Julep Boxes

Better late than never, right? The end of school is killing me,and I feel drained when I come home, but there's only one week left. Anyways, here are the Julep Maven July Boxes. I like these way more than June, and May's too. The glitter's look freakin' fantastic, especially the one in the It Girl Box. You also get a free polish celebrating either Canada Day or the Fourth Of July. The only issue I have with this is I way prefer America The Beautiful, which I think they did way better. And it has star glitter. Oh, I forgot, these also have a lip vernis that is colour-coordinated to a polish. I love that look but when you see the swatches of the lip color, they're really sheer. So, in reality, your lips and nails won't be matchy -matchy. But I have to say, I'm glad we're aware of that before hand, just so we won't be expecting something just like the Butter London colours with the matching lippies. Also, the names aren't coordinating, which is a little weird. Just to let you know, this is obviously picture-heavy.


And here is the breakdown of what's in each box:

EDIT: They changed the box shot's to the new month's boxes/


And I thought I'd include the swatches, since the above pictures don't do those glitter polishes any justice:

These two are O Canada and America The Beautiful. Which one you get depends on where you live, but you can get them as add-ons. The rest are in the same order as the box shots.









And here are the lippies. I didn't know if I'd include them since this mouth grosses me out for some reason (am I the only one?), but I figured I'd show you how sheer these really are:

What's Magenta, Green and Pearly All Over?

My Julep box! I finally received my polishes from Julep today! I've swatched them on my nail wheel and they are gorgeous! In case you were wondering, I received Helena which is an ultra-saturated fuchsia, Leah, a grass green shimmer, and Melissa, a sheer opalescent colour that flashes blue (it is not holographic). Besides the fact that these are gorgeous; they were only 1 cent! Altogether! Right now, if you use the promo code - COLORS4ONE or PENNY, you can get your own Julep polishes for the same price here. Here are the ones they are currently offering in the It Girl Intro Box. There are other options (4), that have 2 polishes and a other goods, like hand cream or cuticle oil.
It Girl Intro BoxHeather, chic platinum greige with a metallic glow.



  • Helena, ultra-saturated fuchsia. Looks great on all skin tones.
  • Mandy, fresh, bright, deep coral-pink



  • In other news, I also got my EOS lip balm from Well.ca. I've only been using it for about, ummm... 15 minutes, but I like it so far. I got the sweet mint flavor, and it's yummy :)

    1 CENT NAIL POLISHES! And, no! I am not kidding!

    Well even though I'm sure most of the population knows about this, I figured I'd tell you too. The nail polish company Julep does a beauty box, similar to Birchbox and other ones like it, but with nail polish and hand care items, like hand creams, base/top coats and cuticle oil. This month you can even get real Argan Oil! And when you use the code PENNY or, COLORS4ONE  you get three nail polishes or two plus the argan oil for 1 cent! And it's free shipping too! Now just try not to drool on your computer. Just click here.

    I'll be swatching and reviewing my colours once I get them and my new camera. For now, here's the picture and description of the colour in March's It Girl Box (aka soon to be mine!) from the Julep website. I decided against the argan oil since I already had some and personally don't care too much for it.

    It Girl
    • Leah, vivid and refreshing grass green with a hint of shimmer.
    • Helena, ultra-saturated fuchsia. Looks great on all skin tones.
    • Melissa, sheer opalescent shimmer adds a soft glow when used alone and a high-fashion holographic effect when used over another colour.

                                                                  Sounds great, doesn't it!
