I did a birchbox subscription last year and didn't love it. Loved the idea, but not many of the actual samples.
I just got an email about Julep Maven boxes. I've heard great things about Julep nail polish, but never tried it. But I'm a sucker and just signed up for a box...
I'm signed up. I cancel it most months unless it's a polish I want or forget. I like their polishes a lot. They don't seem to chip too fast and come off easily.
Also, there are different "Mavens". I think Trendsetter or something is 3 nail polishes, Classic is 2 nail polishes and a product, and one of them I can't remember the name is just product and no nail polish. You can change which maven box you want to get each month
If you want I can give you a referral code thingy mabob and I think the first box is like a penny. Unless it changed. I'd have to go look when I'm on my computer
I signed up a few months ago because I had a coupon code to get the first box for free. I've canceled most of the boxes - I forgot to cancel last month and got a box with two polishes, foot cream, and some flower seeds. I do like the polishes, and I like that there are different options, including canceling, each month.
I've been a member for around a year now and mostly like the boxes. I cancel half the time and have ended up with a few polishes that were too sheer/streaky for my taste, but as a general rule I have no complaints.
