In keeping with our get pretty summer theme, I received a great coupon to try a

(I do love a coupon)

c) become a a pre-paid subscriber for 3 months, at $19.99 ($59.97) <------ the best deal
d) buy a subscription & share a gift with a friend
The great thing about Julep,
at the beginning, you take a personal style survey,
based on your answers, they can make a pretty good guess
what colors are a fit for you-
though, if you disagree, you can pick your own.
I stuck with my survey colors, & it was a nice surprise to see how well they turned out, though I had my doubts!
The box arrived fairly quickly, less than 7 business days, & kudos, again for environmentally friendly packaging. What you see is what you get.
In the beginning I wasn't really sure how I felt about the colors they had sent me.
The brown was brown & the coral was orange, & the pink, pink.
But, these make-up people know their stuff,
based on my survey answers about what I liked,
this is what I got.
I say this, as I run around my house, collecting the pieces to
write about....
The nail polish bottle, if you can remember back to 7th grade geometry, is a rectangular prism.
A unique change from a traditional, round-y, bottle that takes up a lot of room on a shelf.
Julep Polish is also vegan......
not necessarily something that I would have thought of myself, or even considered as a selling point-
but, can see as a bonus for those trying to live a sustainable life.
The consistency of the polish, seemed a little watery at first,
but dried evenly, quickly, & for the most part only one coat was needed.
Julep prides themselves on providing a polish that nourishes the nails, & won't dry them out.
The lipstick is light, & long-lasting, without being tacky or sticky.
I'm not really a lipstick girl.......
I thought the tube it's self was pretty cool,
stop me if this is common,
the tube is magnetized!
No more schmear in the purse!!
That lid isn't getting jostled off.
What I liked-
the packaging was great, they fluffed the tissue
They are a cruelty free company
The colors were actually spot-on
they are quality products, that I am really having fun with
I had to contact Julep about my account, they were fast & efficient answering my questions.
What I didn't-
Lipstick & nail polish aren't really my thing
Nail polish seems to be their thing
If lipstick & polish are your thing, I think the pre-paid subscription is a good way to go
