As written in a previous post, I became a Julep Maven. Not too long ago I wrote a post about my new status and the introductory box I received. If you haven't seen the post yet, feel free to check it out here. The program is something I would easily recommend to anyone and everyone who is considering joining up. Committing to anything like this can make someone a little nervous, but there's nothing to worry about. You can cancel your membership if you're not pleased, and you can opt to skip months.
Originally, I decided to get the "Classic With A Twist" box, but after seeing the colors in the February box, I knew I needed to switch to "It Girl". Something tells me that I'll be changing my mind month-to-month depending on the colors chosen for each box. The colors "Rebel", "Marion", and "Joan" were included in this one. Rebel was the most exciting for me because I love, love the actress/comedian it was named after, who is Rebel Wilson.
After the jump are the colors and more information about the box!
Here are pictures directly from the site of the three colors I received:

Thoughts On Becoming A Maven + Unboxing A ‘Julep Maven’ Intro Box
For a little over a month, I’ve been a very happy customer of Julep. Their polishes are so well pigmented, don’t have a nasty smell, and go on flawlessly. Because of this brand, I have a newly discovered obsession for polishes and almost always having my nails done.
I finally decided to take the leap and became a Julep Maven recently. Their customer service was so accommodating – I was shocked! Most people from customer service, not including Julep, are so rude and act as if you’re disturbing their life by asking them a question. CS for them is full of gracious, very kind people. I’ve never felt so comfortable emailing before.
What I really, really wanted was their February Maven Box. I was late to becoming a Maven, but even so, they added me to their list for a box. All the colors, especially Rebel, was insanely beautiful and I knew I needed to have them. Joining a program like that is scary enough due to the commitment, but I did it with ease thanks to how clearly it’s explained on the site.

Inside The "Julep" Drawer
January 25, 2013
Yes, you heard right, I have something called a “Julep Drawer”. Basically, it’s a drawer in my jewelry box that holds all of my Julep products. One of the products I have is too big, so it stays on top of the box with some of my miscellaneous products. At the moment, there are mostly Bath & Body Works products on top of it.
Below are some of the contents of the drawer. I received my “Classic With A Twist” Intro Box today from Julep, so there are some products which will be named even though they haven’t been officially placed inside. There will be a post about opening the box following this one!

"Lynn" By Julep Polish Review
January 25, 2013
On Christmas, which was a month ago today, I received an abundance of Julep products. My mother was kind enough to purchase a few of the items from my wishlist. One of those just happened to be the “Julep Darlings” collection. Polishes included in that collection are; “Vanessa“, “Lynn“, and “Sandra.” I haven’t tried Sandra yet, but the other two colors are gorgeous.
At the moment I’m wearing Lynn, which is absolutely stunning. Their swatches on the website – and my photo located below – don’t do the polish justice. It went on silky smooth and dried a vibrant, peachy color. There is the most subtle hint of glitter. In my opinion, it’s probably the kind of glitter you can see in extremely bright light. I had to use the flashlight from my iPhone 5 to see it.
Their website describes the color as “nude, blush pearl.” This definitely is a nude color, but does have some distinct peachy tones as well. As you can tell, it does reflect ‘blush pearl’ as stated in the description. For those that have tried this amazing color, how would you describe it?

Purpose Of This Blog
January 23, 2013
For some time I’ve been toying with the idea of creating my own blog. Quite a few people I follow on either Twitter, Facebook, or even Tumblr have their own. Tumblr has been my save haven for three years and now it’s time to branch out. What I’m currently aiming for is a blog of disorganized bliss. One thing I’ve always prided myself on is how random I can be. Sometimes the quality isn’t the best, but our quirks are what make us an individual. In a world full of everyone trying to blend in, I’ve learned sometimes it’s best if you just try to embrace your flaws and become your own person.
