December’s Julep Maven – Happy Holidays!

I’ve decided to make my Julep Maven boxes a post ritual and share the surprise with you every month.  This month I was delighted to get a lovely Happy Holidays inspired box!!

It included:

• Pomegranate Body Creme
• Peacock Nail Appliques
• Fast Dry Topcoat
• *Bonus* Glitter Pot for Nails: Iridescent green pearls

The body creme is super hydrating which is great for the cold winter months that we have coming, my skin is going to eat this up after a nice hot shower.  This is my first time using these nail appliques too!  These are very luxe with 3 dimensional like peacock feather patterns on them.  Have you ever given the appliques a shot?  How did you like it?  I was shocked at how easy it was and it took me only 5 mins to do!!  Jane at Julep suggested putting the top coat polish on them to keep your manicure looking fresh for longer.

If you haven’t signed up for this program yet I highly recommend it.  You get truly high end and natural products for such a minimal cost.  I believe Julep is still offering the discounted code “BEHINDTHELASHES” to make your first box only $5.00!!!!

Meet Julep Maven & *Giveaway*

Today I’m absolutely so thrilled to share my Julep nail kit with you!  Julep started out being a popular nail spa destination in the Seattle area and now is growing into a powerful girlfriend movement.  They created a full line of amazing nail polishes as well as manicure and pedicure products, all of which are toxin-free!!!  More recently they just announced the launch of their new service Julep Maven!  The Maven program was designed to allow every girl, and girlfriend, out their to receive the same special treatment that beauty editors do.  In each box you get two nail colors, one being not available yet to the general public, and a special treatment.  I just got the Boho Glam Maven box and the colors were gorgeous!  There was Olivia and Miranda (special color not yet released for sale), and a bottle of their Facial for Hands Glycolic Hand Scrub.  The colors were insanely rich and lasted much longer than my normal at-home-manicures, they also didn’t smell as horrible as normal nail polish do.  The hand scrub was soooo amazing, seriously didn’t know what I was missing there, and took my at-home-manicure to a more professional level.

Loved this saying off their bag:

 Powered by Girlfriends.

At Julep we believe in the power of connection.  How together, we resonate.  How we inspire each other to be the best versions of ourselves.  We are a community of women celebrating other women in unison.  And that is beautiful.

Pan Am: Laura’s White Nails

Ok…I’m loving this show.  There’s something about that time when a woman really did go to extreme measures to get made up but at the same time looked so natural.  Besides the lovely winged eyeliner, that I’m saving for another time, I found myself obsessed with the light white nails.  The shade on Laura Cameron, played by Margot Robbie, this past week especially…

I found a shade that I think resembled hers pretty well.  Mine is a translucent white so you can just make out the pink/white of your own nails.  What do you think?  Are you fan of this look too??
