Julep Spring Mystery Box 2013

Hello all! I finally received my Spring Mystery Box from Julep!

It was $24.99 which is about $5.00 more than they cost but hey, I like what I got!

Let's dig in and see what wonderful surprised I got! Yay! :)



First, let's start with the extra items that were in my box...

I got Julep Daylight Defense SPF 30 for Hands and Face...this is a lotion.
I really like the smell and it doesn't appear to be greasy so I might consider trying it out on my face although I am usually wary to put lotions that I'm not acclimated to in such a sensitive area....
I guess we will see what happens!

It's a full-size, and normally costs $22.50 on their website...therefore, that pretty much covers the cost of the box in this one item...



Next up, I got three chocolate eggs, complete with nutritional info...yummy!



Then I got 3 neon Twistbands, which are hair-ties that are not supposed to leave creases in your hair. My hair still creases with these but not too badly, they are good for braids or low-ponytails because of the colorful design...



I got a new Julep nail file...always a handy item to get...



I got one packet of the One-Step Polish Remover Pads...these retail for $7.99 on the Julep website. That's kind of a ridiculous price considering that the tiny travel size bottles of polish remover are like $0.50! Why can't you just keep a small one of those in your purse in a Ziploc bag with some cotton balls?!?! Just make sure the lids on tight!!!!
Anyway, these will come in handy one day I'm sure...lol :)



Now let's get to the polishes!
I got three. I got Mystery Box Version #1 ( it tells you what version you got on your packing slip)
I got the "Mystery Color" that's "supposed to go with everything" Camille.





This polish is comparable to China Glaze's Luxe and Lush I am told.
I was wanting that polish, so I am glad I got a good dupe in my Mystery Box! Thanks Julep! ;)

The second polish I received was Ashley, this is a pretty tangerine orange with some metallic looking shimmer in it...





Finally the last polish in my Mystery Box was Lauren. This is described as a "Hot tropical pink crème," but applies somewhat sheer. Definitely a two-coat polish...but pretty nonetheless!





Of course, if you are a Maven, each polish costs $11.20...since I got 3 that adds up to $33.60 worth of polish..overall making my box at least worth $64.09! Pretty good value.

I like the surprise of the Mystery Boxes and think they are a fun treat to give yourself. My only wish is that Julep would give you Jules when you purchase them.
It kind of bugs me that they don't...
