Hello! I just wanted to quickly share with you the contents of my two mystery boxes that I ordered in May from Julep Maven.Wow! That was a really long sentence! ;) They retail for $60 and with a code you get them for 19.99 and if you're a maven they ship free! I did get 2 different boxes and I had none of the colours in either box. So, it worked out great. The only problem...the colours really were a little blah... :/
My first box contained a crystal nail file, a bitty 30ml sample size of the glycolic hand scrub and 4 Julep colours. The colours I received were Demi, Emma, Taylor and Alicia. I think Demi is my favourite of the box. It's a deep rich blood coloured red. Emma is fairly sheer and doesn't have much of a pink tint to it as it would appear. Taylor is a bluey-purple and Alicia is more of a canteloupy colour.
The second box was a bit larger and I was happy to see something a little bigger..but man, the colours were a little wa wa waaaa. I received a package of the Peacock nail appliques, which I'm super happy about..yay! I can't wait to try these out, when my nails grow out a bit. I also received a top coat and a cuticle oil. I now have 3 of these cuticle oils!!! I don't mind about that, but they last...forEVER. It doesn't seem to go down at all. My cuticles need help, so I don't mind having extras of this and it's a decent product.
Here are the colours: Alyson, Parker, Christina, Vanessa and Hayden. Sooo... Alyson is a taupey colour, parker is a 70's shade of orange (it looks much brighter here!) Christina is an orange shimmer with sparkles, Vanessa is a very irredescent glitter and hayden is peach. A matte peach. Nothing like the picture looks like here. But, it's identical to the colour that used to be in Crayola boxes called "flesh."
My favourites are Christina and Vanessa from this box.
I really like those colours a lot. Sooo..out of 9 colours I really only liked 3. I was expecting a little more "colour" for a cinco de mayo box... but it's okay. I'll definitely try all the colours and any I don't like...I know my daughter will LOVE. :)
Have a wonderful day!
I wasn't too impressed with mine either...Christina looks like an awesome colour!
ReplyDeleteI really think it was the best colour of the bunch. Did you order a June mystery box?
DeleteI love demi!! I got it in mine too :) Taylor and Alicia look really pretty too! As too alyson and parker actually.

I really don't like Alicia that much in person. It's very light apricot colour. Yeh, it would have totally sucked and I would have been mad at myself. Buttt..I did it again and ordered 2. I have heard people get doubles. :S
