Julep Diamond Mystery Box

They didn't include their "Aren't surprises fun?" card this time!

When I saw Julep was offering a new mystery box I was like "no, I am not falling for that again." And then when I saw the two polishes they guaranteed were going to be in every box (two very cool glitters- Antonia and Geo) I was like maybeee. And then when I saw they promised that it was their highest value box ever I was like FINE JULEP JUST TAKE MY MONEY. Plus I skipped November's box so I felt justified. Right?!



 

It came in this huge box which made me really excited... Until I opened it and realized it was mostly packing material because I had included an add on.

 

The add on I chose was this neon nail kit and really, I have no idea what exactly it is or how to use it but it was only a couple dollars so I thought what the hell.


 

First look- this wasn't packed very carefully...

 

All the loot!

 

Beauty items: Pink Grapefruit Body Frosting ($9.99),  Eyelash Curler ($10?), Double Step Foot Treatment and Friction Stick ($17.60), Scrub Mitt ($2.99)


The polishes: Lucy, Eva, Karmen, Karen, Kandace, Antonia, and Geo. All $11.20 Maven price.

Unfortunately I had all the polishes except Lucy and Eva (and Antonia and Geo of course), and I found those two to be too close to polishes I already have, so I listed them all on eBay along with the Double Step. You can check out all my listings here!

This wasn't my favorite box but all the items I'm keeping are worth way more than the $25 the box cost me, and the total value is a whopping $120!

  1. Love stainiac on my lips - just enough color with a little gloss

  2. Actually, you don't have to be a Maven to order mystery boxes. It's a much better deal to just order those and not be a Maven I have learned.

    1. I had no idea! I'll have to edit my post. I think you're right about doing the mystery boxes instead of the monthly ones!

  3. I got the same box, except my polishes didn't come in those little organza bags. I love the two diamond box exclusives, but I don't know how I feel about some of the other colours. REGIFT! :P

  4. Hello I read this and I Laughed so hard. I went throught the same thought process you did when deciding to purchase. And I'm glad that I read this because I did the glitter add on too and they forgot it. Last time I fell for the chevron box and they forgot to the chevron stickers. Also just like you I had all the polishes too :/ womp womp...

    1. They get me every time! What a bummer they have messed up your ad ons twice in a row and that you have all these polishes too. I wish they'd send out polishes that they haven't sent out in the monthly boxes in at least a year. I hope they either don't do a mystery box for December or it's really crappy since I opted in for the December box. ;)
