Sneak Peek of Julep's 'Fresh' Colors for May & New Boxes

If you haven't signed up for Julep yet, make sure you read the big announcement below and Join before the price increase! 
Julep's May collection - called The Fresh Twist Collection - is so happy and shimmery that I'm having a hard time figuring out which box to select.

__________________________________________________

If you're unfamiliar with Julep, let me take a minute to explain.

Julep started as a nail parlor. Then they created their own line of products - polishes, spa products and beauty items. They are sold online, but for the best deal you should become a Maven. Mavens are subscribed to their monthly box of products that are curated for your personal style. When I took my style quiz it was determined that I'm 'Classic with a Twist'. Each month on the 20th I'm able to look at that month's collection and view the products picked for me. The best part? If I don't like that month's selections I have choices! I can switch my box for a different style's, I can gift my box to a friend by providing her mailing address, or I can skip that month's box.

Let's take a look at this month's boxes: 

Introducing the Plié Wand 

May's "extra" item is the awesome new Plié Wand.  To learn all about it, click here to watch an introductory video.  Basically it is a magnetic snap on handle extension for your nail polish lids that will give you more control when painting your nails.  I'm excited to see how well I'll be able to paint my right nails using the 'bent' wand position when painting with my left hand.

Boho Glam 

Jeanne - Jet-set Blue Creme
I love creme colors, but I don't think this blue is right for me.

Paulette - Golden Lilac Tulle Shimmer 
This color is very pretty.  I like the golden shimmer, and would wear this.

Bombshell

Laree - Golden Pink Taffeta Shimmer  

Saaya - Golden Apricot Shimmer
My April box was a pink and orange duo, so I probably won't select 
Bombshell this month, but I do love Laree.

Classic with a Twist 

Maddy - Raspberry Sorbet Shimmer
Yes.  I want a pedicure in this color immediately.

Ramona - Muted Lavender Rose Creme
This reminds me of a demure ballerina.  So Pretty.

It Girl

Kam - Vintage Spearmint Creme
Maybe it's because it's a flat creme - which I love - but I'm so drawn to this minty shade.

Jules - Warm Powder Pink Creme
What a great pink!  Fresh, bright, yet still a light pink.  Great color!

First Impression Of My Box:

I'm torn between Classic With a Twist and It Girl.  Maddy and Kam are both such great colors, and Ramona and Jules are great manicure pinks.  I'm goin gto flip a coin and you'll just have to wait and see which one the Mailman brings me!
