Julep Maven is a nail polish subscription box that includes beauty items as well. The service is $20 a month.
Pro: The service allows you to preview boxes from various styles so that you can choose to try a new style or stick with your own.
Pro: Through taking a brief style quiz Julep suggested the modern beauty collection. Here is what I got in my first box:
Pro: The Charming lip gloss is a great color. It was long lasting and provided hydration.
Pro: The Kajal Eye Glider has two colors black and brown that blend really well and are easy to apply.
Pro: Julep also provided a sharpener as well for the eye pencil.
Con: This box didn't have any nail polish in it which was a disappointment but I am able to choose the box I get next month.

Despite liking quite a few items from my first tote (check out the first review for details about the service) I sent it back to see what I would get next. Here is the review of my next tote through its pros and cons:
Pro: Le tote provides you with a prepaid shipping envelope to send your items back in. You can track the progress of how quickly your items get sent back and they quickly send out another package.
Con: While these Adia Kibur Crystal earrings were pretty they were too much for me and I didn't end up wearing them. This is the second tote where the earrings have been a miss for me so I will be reevaluating my style profile.
Retail price: $28
Member price: $19
Pro: I saw the Simone Wrap blouse on the site and thought it looked great on the model. When I opened up the tote I disappointed at first as I thought it was bulky and did not look quite right. However I ended up wearing it twice, once at work paired with some black slacks and then again on the weekend paired with some white khakis. This gave me the opportunity to try a shirt that was outside of my comfort zone.
Retail Price: $44
Member Price: $15
Pro: I also thought this Olive and Oak Nautical blouse was not right for me at first but when I paired it with some skinny jeans it actually really complemented me.
Retail Price: $78
Member Price: $39
Con: The Catherine Cascade jacket is pictured with the Cotton Candy Strand necklace. The jacket and necklace were nice but the necklace didn't fit my style while the jacket just didn't fit!

Pro: The first tote and this tote didn't have items that complemented each other. I sent an email to customer service and they added it to my style profile that I would like items that go together. Le tote's customer service is fast and was responsive to my needs. I'm looking forward to seeing what I get next.
