I decided to try the Julep Golden Mystery box after reading about it on Ramblings of a Suburban Mom. I used a coupon code and got 30% off – they charged me $24.98…. I think it was worth it for all the fun things I got!
My camera broke, and I am sending it in to Samsung… so for now these are taken on my awful camera phone. It sucks I know… but I am too anxious to put this up!
Here’s the first look at the box…
Belina hair ties ($9) – I love these and I’ve never bought them for myself (I’ve always gotten them from subscription boxes)
Dolles Salt Water Taffy ($1?) – Strawberry, Chocolate, and Lime. These were a fun touch to the box… I ate them immediately after taking this photo.
Oxygen Nail Treatment ($18) – Love this! I am so excited to try it. I’ve been giving myself mani pedis now for a long time and can’t wait to add this to my routine.
Julep Everyday SPF Hand Cream ($13) – I was really happy to get this! SPF for hands? but why? BUT WHY NOT!?! This tube is 3 fl oz and in the sub box world… that’s huge. I used this and yeah it was a little greasy, and it said it wouldn’t be… but I’ll just use less next time I apply it. The smell is like, nothing, but something, like lotion with spf in it. So I guess not bad, but no surprise, and not that fun. But not everything needs to be scented, right? Right.
(((totally side note…. I’ve been spelling surprise “suprise” for…forever… and I am PRETTY sure I’ve been saying it “sup-rise” … after doing a spell check… I caught this… and my mind is blown.)))
Sheryl – this was my fav out of the 4. Sheer butterscotch shimmer with a hint of golden bronze.
Drew – this has to be a nail polish staple. A fuchsia pink… love it and I don’t have a color just like it either!
Layne – a french mani staple! a sheer french pink.
Bunny – I’m not into white nail polish… and I have one from my birchbox. BUT… this one has a little gold shimmer in it so that makes it more fun. I would have rather gotten a different color though for sure.
Julep Golden Mystery Box SAID that I’d get $100 – $200 worth of stuff in this box….. I paid $24 for the box… and the total worth of the box that I came up with is about $80 and I’m happy with what I got for what I paid… I just don’t know why they would say $100 – $200.
