Julep Maven August 2014 Review "Classic with a Twist" + Coupon Codes!

Julep Maven :: August 2014 Review :: Classic with a Twist

I missed the selection window because of classes and moving to a different town, so I emailed them and asked if I could switch my box before they were shipped out because I wasn't too fond of the nail colors for Classic with a Twist. They were SO nice about it and said it was already being sent out but that I could return it for 2,000 jules (which I could apply to my next maven box) or for a $19.99 gift card. I chose the gift card so I could have the freedom to buy other polishes if I wanted. *SURPRISE* They said they could send me the gift card and I could still keep the box! WHAT! Awesome! Thanks Julep! I mean, I did pay for it, but it's kinda like getting the box at half price since I could potentially get two boxes for the price of one (assuming I use the gift card to pay for my next box). 

   

"Katie"

"Avni"

This one is actually more purple than blue.

"Gel Eye Glider" - Blackest Black

I like the texture and consistency. It was pretty waterproof too, at least on my hand. I tried it on my eye. It goes on a little thick but you can get a thin line with sharpening. It was a little hard to wash off, even with makeup remover for waterproof makeup.

JULEP - Clearance Sale (+FREE box code)!!

Totally checking out what's available at the Julep sale after work tonight! Sales over 65% off are awesome! Even more awesome if it's for great quality nail polish! Currently, Julep is my fav nail polish co. so I'm pretty excited about this sale:) 

I'm even more excited about their new polish brush coming out in March, I believe. It lets you paint with your "bad" hand easily. Perfect for people who have a hard time painting both hands on your own. (AKA = ME! :P)

Btw, sorry to delays in reviews! I lost my phone at the beginning of a trip out of state last weekend, so with it went many of the posts I had set up :( I'll try to re-do them, but may be brief.

Cult Cosmetics Penny Promo Review (+Coupon Codes for 1cent nail kit + FREE shipping)!!

More 1 cent nail polish from Cult Cosmetics!! I loooove this deal! I have ordered FOUR boxes using this code! 

This is the 2nd one I ordered. I just received the 3rd, so I'll post pics up tomorrow hopefully :)

Out of this box I've used the botanical base coat (the greenish one) and the nude polish, which I layered with the gold sparkly polish from my 1st pennypolish shipment from Cult (here is the post for that one).

Use this code to get, what seems like, ANY of their boxes for $5.01!! (That's 1 cent for the box and $5 for S&H!!!) I still cannot believe how awesome this deal is! I really hope it's not an accident or something! Well, either way I'm definitely going to purchase full price items from them in the future and will keep spreading the word about how awesome they are in the mean time ;)

Penny December Blackbox by Cult Cosmetics) Review (+Exclusive FREE SHIP Coupon Code & $0.01 Box)!!

Just received a Cult Blackbox! 

It's my 1st one; I took advantage of their Penny Box deal right after Christmas. 

I'd been wanting to try it out since Ive had such a great experience with Julep. 

This box was the December Blackbox:

So far I've tried out only the grey polish. It's a fairly dark grey. I had to put on a couple of coats of polish on most of my nails, the first coat was hard to get on evenly without multiple coats. I was a little disappointed with that, guess I've become spoiled with the high quality polishes I've bought from Julep. Oh we'll, hopefully it's just the grey. 

If I remember, I'll post an update here about the quality of the red and gold polishes:)

Despite my not too great first impression after using the grey, I do think Cult's Blackbox can be a pretty good deal if you take advantage of all the awesome sales they offer! I was able to use the code twice so total I'm receiving 6 polishes with 2 tools for $10.02 (each box was $0.01 +$5 for S&H), such an awesome deal! So awesome I'm definitely purchasing a full price box in the near future (then probably more after that, lol) as a thanks for the awesome sales ;)

*note: I used the code in 2 different transactions. I used it once right after the code was released, then I think about a week later when I received an email promoting the code. I used the same login info too so I assume if there we're restrictions they would've cancelled it, right?* 

Their Penny Blackbox sale is STILL happening!! I think it's only for a specific box they recently put together, but still great colors! Click pic below to go to their FB pg for more info, or just click here to go directly to the sale on their website -- remember to type in the coupon code at checkout! PENNYPOLISH

Check back for review updates and a post about the 2nd penny Blackbox I mentioned above. Should be here this week!! 

I received this Free Shipping directly from Cult Cosmetics who gave me the green light to share it with my wonderful readers, yay! Enjoy;)

*btw: not sure if the free ship works with the Penny Sale - I honestly completely forgot about it! :(

Have a wonderful night!
