So first off I want to let everyone know I actually paid to review this subscription service.I got a code for a so called free box(which turned out not to be free I had to pay shipping).Shipping was less than $4.00 so I was ok with it not thrilled but ok with it.This subscription service costs $19.99 a month( I did not pay this thanks to the code I received).
One last thing I need to say Julep does not know I bought a box from them for reviewing purposes.Which means they think im a regular customer not a reviewer.(in short.I got treated like every one else).
So here is how it goes down.You sign up and take a quiz which will match you with a box.I was matched with classic with a twist (there are a total of 5 boxes you could be matched with more info on this here).After that I entered my code and paid the shipping.It was that simple.I waited a few days and got my free box.
I requested a cancellation on my subscription as soon as I got my box in the mail.It was nothing but nail related items..I hardly ever use nail polish.I looked into there site more and seen 4 of the boxes come with 2 nail polish(yes 2 nail polishes every month unless you get the "It Girl" box then its 3 nail polishes a month) so this subscription service would turn into a waste of money and leave me with a bunch of nail polish that would sit on a shelf for years..
Things I didn't like:
Code was free box but I got stuck with paying shipping(even though the site says they offer free shipping BUT they don't give free shipping when you use the code for the free box which was not mentioned when they gave me the code).
The amount of items they give for $19.99.Pay for 3 items that a site choose for me for $19.99 a month? Id rather go the store and hand pick out 3 things I know id like than have a site pick things for me and charge me for that I might not even like.
I can't request (since the site picks everything out) not to receive a product that might have a ingredient im allergic to.
The fact I would end will end up with a ton of nail polish and products I might not like(in other words it's highly possible to turn into a waste of money situation).
Things I liked:
4 of the boxes come with a full sized product except "Modern Beauty" it comes with 2 full size products.
You can switch your style boxes when ever you want.
They give you a tracking number when your box has been shipped.
You can preview your upcoming box on the 20th-24th of every month and if you don't like what you see you can switch it to another style box such as "It girl" instead of "modern beauty".
