So excited!! I got an email from Julep letting me know what's in my October Maven box!

I'm really excited for this hand brightener! It sounds like an interesting product.  And Brooklyn (the reddish polish) is perfect for this winter!  The description sounds so pretty! "Ruby red with a hint of festive sparkles". Well hellllooooo!!  And Dendre is definitely not like any other color I own, I'm def excited for it!

Any of my fellow Mavens get your email also? What style are you? What are you getting in your October box?

Good morning!  It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood and I'm about to head out to a Zumba class!  Has anyone tried it before? It's so much fun and an hour later my face is beet red and I'm hot like a tamale! LOL.

Before I go, I wanted to give you a swatch of Cameron from my first Julep Maven box.  I really fell in love with this color when I first saw that it was part of my Julep American Beauty Style!  It's pink beyond pink, classy enough for work, yet fun enough for the weekends.








I put 2 coats, even though with 1 it was nearly opaque.  No topcoat, and look at how shiny this baby is still! I really liked the brush too, it made it so easy to apply the polish.

My only complaint is that the bottle size is way smaller than your average bottle, obviously giving you much less product for a higher price than other designer brands.  But I think Julep can pull that off because I'm really in love with the quality level of their products and customer service.  Seriously, you will get emails from them often just keeping you updated on your orders, etc. Will I be keeping my monthly Julep Maven membership? Oh heck yea...

Anyone else sign up to be a Maven?  You can read what that is HERE on my other post.

Many of you may have already heard about Julep and their Maven Program, but if you haven't, let me give you a little background.
According to Julep's site:

"We launched our new Julep Maven program to give all of our girlfriends access to the beauty editor Sneak Peek Box we create every month.  As a Julep Maven, you will have access to the hottest trends in nail color and the latest Mani Care and Pedi Care products - delivered right to your doorstep, just like the beauty editors do.  And you'll have access to these trends and products before anyone else."

I received a nail treatment, 2 polishes, a full sized glycolic hand scrub and samples of hand cream.

Nail Therapy. Dries superfast and has an almost floral juniper scent to it.

Cameron- A gorgeous pink

Alfre - one of their yet to be released Fall 2011 colors
