Julep Maven Box #14: September 2012 Classic With …
2012/9/30 14:16
As tempting as it was to choose the bold green and blue of Boho Glam Box or Bombshell Box for that beautiful robin blue, I picked Classic with a Twist for colors I hadn’t yet owned from Julep.
I realized this box is the most un-Trina Turk (as her was all about bold colors) in this Julep x Trina Turk Fall 2012 collaboration, but let’s take a look.
Included in the September?2012 Classic with a Twist Trina Turk Box?(descriptions from Julep):
Sophie – chic truffle mushroom cr?me (reg. $14)
Brandt – opaque off-black cr?me (reg. $14)
Julep American Beauty Volumizing Mascara in Jet Black – lash growth enhancement ingredients and micro-fiber applicator separates, conditions, and plumps individual lashes for a thick and gorgeous finish. (reg. $24)
Mascara? That’s a first! We first saw Julep include non-nail related products last year with lip glosses, and they’ve since then created argan oil (which I’ve been forgetting to try), and now mascara. I do wish they’d stick to mani/pedi products like their lovely cuticle oil and hand cream with sunscreen, but I’ll give this a shot.

I like that these bottles have the Trina Turk logo on the caps. Nice touch without changing the overall look.
I also noticed that I seemed to have gotten a new bottle design as well.?Sophie?has the new glass bottle and Brandt came in the same bottle as always. Julep Nail Vernis is now Julep Nail Color Vernis ? Ongles. Well, excusez-moi!

Flip over the bottle, and you no longer see directions. Just their info, updated year, and more French. Int?ressant, non?
But back to the box. I love the included magnet with an illustration by blondelasagna. (I love it more that her signature is her Twitter handle!) I also enjoy reading the quotes in the box every month, this time by Yves Saint Laurent.
I’m kinda-sorta curious why the illustration and quote aren’t by Trina Turk since this is a Trina Turk collaboration…but c’est la vie!
What did you think of this month’s Trina Turk boxes?

I hope you’ll do a review on the mascara! I skipped this Julep box but the inclusion of mascara intrigued me.

Hi Elana! A mascara review would be a first for me. I was intrigued, too — just going by the packaging, it feels quite luxe!

I already told you that I skipped, but I’m such a packaging sucker that they almost, *almost* got me with the special caps. I think it is a bit of a calculated risk on their part to include non-nail/hand care items–I don’t mind it per se, but I don’t wear makeup (too lazy!) and so if I don’t like the It Girl option, I’m going to have to REALLY like the colors in another box to settle for getting only two colors and a third item I will never use. Also I haven’t gotten a cuticle oil yet, boo .

Packaging suckers unite! I’m with you! I always want It Girl, too, but it included the oddest color combo this month! I noticed Julep has never included the same non-polish item twice, so I keep wondering what they’ll include the following month.

I really like the charcoal colour of Brandt. Even though it’s dark, somehow it feels formal. Maybe because it reminds me of the material of a suit!
Will you be swatching these? Now I want some a grey creme colour, I have shimmery greys this dark, but now I think a creme would actually be pretty cool.

Hi Leila! I actually really liked the look of Brandt that I already wore it and love it! It is impressively smooth and is a one-coater. It’s dark, but definitely smokey grey and not black. So pretty. Your comparison to a suit is spot on. I’ll be wearing it again and swatching, along with Sophie.
