Julep Golden Ticket Mystery Box #3 May

*Disclosure: This post contains referral links*

Julep offered 3 really nice mystery boxes this time. They were called the Golden Ticket Mystery Boxes. I snagged one of each available! Here is box # 1 and here is box # 2. I really liked the first two mystery boxes. I think Julep did a fantastic job! 

When I opened the box I thought, "Wow! This is empty....". But, once I dug through the packaging I found everything. 



Forget Me Not Seeds ($1.00): What a cute gesture! I can't wait to plant these with J. He is really going to enjoy it! The packaging also has a message from Julep on it, "Thanks for helping us grow into something beautiful." So cute!


Julep Glam Rock ($14.00/$11.20 Maven): Ahh!! So happy to have a spring/summer color. This is light enough to wear all year. I thought this was a really good pick! 


Julep Nic ($14.00/$11.20 Maven): A nice rich plum, this will be perfect for fall. Maybe with some painted light accents I could wear it now? We will see. 


Julep Scarlett ($14.00/$11.20 Maven): This is a beautiful darker red color. While I don't wear red, I will pass this onto someone who will enjoy it!


Julep Shoshanna ($14.00/$11.20 Maven): Oh! My favorite! Normally I do not wear super bright polish, but this is beautiful. Another all year color!


Julep Stevie ($14.00/$11.20 Maven): A greyish color with some sparkle. This will go with so many outfits. It is a nice subtle color that I will get a lot of use out of!


Julep Halo Gloss Set ($36.00/$28.80 Maven): I had NO idea these were so pricey! I saw this adorable box and I thought they were Christmas ornaments. But, once I opened it I realized they are lip glosses. Awesome ones at that! They are so cool! The top twists and you push the middle to get the gloss out. I will be buying more when I run out for sure!


I paid $24.99 for the mystery box and with the coupon code "PERK2FOR1" and received a free nail polish! I chose Char. A nice nautical blue! I am a fan of all nautical. 



So, I paid $23.99 for this mystery box and received $107.00 worth of product ($121.00 including my free polish). The Maven worth was $85.80 ($97.00 including free polish). This was a FANTASTIC steal! I received way way way more than what I paid for and I loved the products I received. I will definitely be buying more mystery boxes if Julep offers them again!

Julep Golden Ticket Mystery Box #2 May



*Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links*

Julep offered a new series of "Golden Ticket Mystery Boxes" this month. If you received the golden ticket in your box your were able to name your own nail polish! Each series had 1 box with a golden ticket. Unfortunately, I did not receive one. I would love to know if you did though! I ordered all 3 available boxes in the series. I will post each box separately to prevent a super long post. :)

Confession: I was so excited to tear into my boxes that I did not take pictures along the way. I took them all after the fact! I'm sorry!!! :(

Forget Me Not Seeds ($1.00): This was a little bonus Julep added to each box. I think it is very cute, and I love Forget Me Nots! The message on the packet says, "Thanks for helping us grow into something beautiful."


Julep Candace ($14.00/$11.20 Maven): I had a hard time trying to decide how to describe this polish. So, Julep describes it as a golden chocolate microglitter. Which fits perfectly! It is a pretty color, that I will use in the autumn.



Julep Carol ($14.00/$11.20 Maven): Julep did not have a dot picture for the color. This is a very light pink. It really needs 2+ coats. I do not wear pink very often but will give it a try.



Julep Celia ($14.00/$11.20 Maven): My favorite from the box! A nice green/teal metallic color! I put this on immediately. 


Julep Estelle ($14.00/$11.20 Maven): A black with colored sparkles. This is okay, I don't really have anywhere to wear it. But, if I did, I would love it!



Julep Michelle ($14.00/$11.20 Maven): Ahh! This came in as a close second favorite. If I could pull it off as a spring color it may have been first! It is a nice plain sort of flat navy (midnight blue). 


Julep Ta Da! Quick Dry Drops ($14.00/$11.20 Maven): I can't wait to try this! I hope it works really well! Julep dries really quick to begin with, but add this on top, man that would be speedy!




Vanish Cuticle Softener and Remover ($14.00/$11.20 Maven): I am excited to try this too. I have soft cuticles anyway, but I need to take better care of them. I have seen really awesome reviews on this and have high hopes!




Bare Face Cleansing Oil with Power Cell Complex ($28.00/SALE $20.00): I am IN LOVE with this. I feel it did a really good job. It was different than any other cleaner I have used. You put it on while your face is dry then massage it and wash it. I thought it cleaned my skin really well. It also did not have any type of fragrance, which makes me happy!




I paid $24.99 for the mystery box and with the coupon code "PERK2FOR1" and received a free nail polish! I chose Julep Priscilla - Emerald for May ($14.00/$11.20 Maven) for my free nail polish. It is a pretty sparkely green! Plus, it has a gold top which I wanted!



My box was valued at $127.00 (Regular price not including my free polish it would be $141.00 with it). The Maven Price was $99.40 (if I included my free polish it would be $110.60). I only paid $24.99! Such a wonderful deal! 

Overall, I am REALLY happy with this Julep Golden Ticket Mystery Box. If they do another one, I will for sure buy! I know in the past they have been hit or miss. But this was a HUGE HIT!

Julep Golden Ticket Mystery Box #1 May

*Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links*

Julep offered a special series of Golden Ticket Mystery Boxes recently. If you received the golden ticket in your box your were able to name your own nail polish! Unfortunately, I did not receive one. I would love to know if you did though! I ordered all 3 available boxes in the series. I will post each box separately to prevent a super long post. :)

I was so excited I forgot to take pictures of the box at first or loaded with the items! 

Forget Me Not Seeds ($1.00): I thought this was cute. I love the flowers and it is perfect timing to plant them. It included a cute message: "Thanks for helping us grow into something beautiful." I thought that was a sweet thing to include :)


Here are all of the polishes I received! I will break down the names with colors b



Julep Ciara  ($14.00/$11.20 Maven): This is a darker plum with sparkle. 


Julep Cleopatra ($14.00/$11.20 Maven): A very true black, perfect for detailing.



Julep Kristen ($14.00/$11.20 Maven): Dark teak with shimmer on top. 


Julep Millie ($14.00/$11.20 Maven): Flat plum/indigo, not too fancy. 


Julep Petra ($14.00/$11.20 Maven): Described as a cranberry magenta with a silver shimmer. This was my favorite of this box. I could possibly wear this in the summer.


Julep Konjac Cleansing Sponge ($12.00/$9.60 Maven): I have seen this before on the site. It is used to massage your face and exfoliate dead skin cells. I am excited to try it and see how well it works!


Julep Hand and Cuticle Stick ($22.00/ $17.60 Maven):  My cuticles could use some help! I really neglect them. Hopefully this will help!


I paid $24.99 for the mystery box and with the coupon code "PERK2FOR1" and received a free nail polish! I chose Julep Phoebe ($14.00/$11.20 Maven) for my free nail polish. It is a pretty teal!


My box was valued at $105.00 (Regular price not including my free polish it would be $119.00 with it). The Maven Price was $84.20 (if I included my free polish it would be $95.40). 

I received WAY more than what I paid for. The reviews I have seen on previous mystery boxes were questionable. But, this box was great in my opinion. I did not receive really any colors for spring/summer, however, I can save them for fall/winter! I really enjoyed this box!
