January 2016 Julep Maven box
Maven is totally flexible—you can customize your monthly box, send it to a friend, or even skip a month.
After your Welcome Box, the contents of your monthly Maven Box depend on the program you signed up for.
Each My Maven Box includes over $40 worth of new beauty innovations and/or limited-run nail colors. They create at least five new boxes every month—one for each Style Profile, plus monthly exclusives. If you have a fully customizable subscription, you can personalize your box by picking exactly what you want.
Each Maven Luxe Box includes over $60 worth of beauty products. They create one Maven Luxe Box per month, and all Maven Luxe subscribers have the option to customize.
All My Maven and Maven Luxe subscribers have the option to upgrade and/or add on to their boxes every month.
For new Mavens, they have two subscription tiers: My Maven and Maven Luxe.
With My Maven, you'll get $40+ worth of polish & product for $24.99/month, or $19.99/month with a three-month prepaid subscription. Each monthly box is completely customizable.
With Maven Luxe, you'll get $60+ worth of prestige products for $39.99/month, or $34.99/month with a three-month prepaid subscription. Each monthly box is completely customizable.
All Maven subscriptions include the option to "send to a friend" or cancel at any time. After you purchase your first monthly Maven Box, you'll also have the option to skip your box. Just select "Skip this month" during the monthly Maven Reveal and they will not bill you or ship that month's box.
The monthly Maven Reveal takes place from the 20th-24th of each month. They'll always start you off with their picks for you (for Mavens, this will be your default Style Profile; Maven Luxes will all start with the same curated box.) During the Reveal, you can log into your account and make changes. Or just leave it up to them to send you your next beauty fave.
I signed up on December 18th, 2015 for My Maven. They had an awesome promotion to get your first box free (you just pay shipping). They also had a promo code that would provide me with an extra free 4 piece kit. When you sign up they also give you some special deals on some add-on products for great prices. If you bought any of the add-ons, you got free shipping on your free first box and your additional products. I decided to try a beautiful eyeshadow palette for about $15.
They shipped my eyeshadow palette right away. I believe I received it by December 24th. The colors are stunning and I definitely scored by getting this for $15.
My January Box was shipped on the 30th or 31st of December and I received it January 2nd, 2016 so exceptional shipping speeds indeed.
The box contained:
1 Tali nail polish ($14 on their website)
1 Marika nail polish ($14 on their website)
1 Dusty Orchid Shimmer Full-Coverage Lip Crayon ($20 on their website)
Overall value of this box is $48 so definitely the $40 value they promise.
The Tali polish is categorized as "liquid holographic." It is not something I would normally wear as it's a shiny blue but it will be a good polish for my daughter.
The Marika polish is categorized as "matte metallic." Again this isn't a color I would wear often. Maybe for going out or holidays. It's cute though and definitely a keeper.
The Dusty Orchid lip crayon is soft and glides on perfectly. It smells like a nice chap stick. I have so many colors like this so I would have preferred a different color but will still keep it as it's a great crayon.
The Verdict...
The shipping and value of this box were spot on. The products were so-so for me personally. Keep in mind that you can completely customize your box to whatever products you like. I, myself, like to see how spot on the companies are that require me to take a quiz to "know what's for me" and send me the products they choose by my results. They may have missed the mark a little on this one but I'm still happy with my purchase from the palette alone.
