My First Julep Maven Package

I have been anxiously awaiting this package. And it finally came today. Which was a lovely surprise. It was estimated for delivery on the 30th. I love early packages!

I have not tried any of my goodies yet, but I'm so excited about trying them. I will try out the Facial for Hands Glycolic Hand Scrub tonight and talk about it in my next post. The polishes, however, will wait until next week. I have two nail designs I'm dying to attempt.

I took pictures of everything, so its like opening the box with me. It came in a nice black box sealed with the Julep symbol.

Once opened the first thing you see is a card saying "Welcome American Beauty". It lists out what my sneak peek box includes. And on the back talks about sharing the Maven Program with my friends.

Next there is a welcome letter. My favorite part is that my name is handwritten in and the CEO/Founder Jane signed her name. Its not some mass printed letter. Along with the letter is a sheet explaining all about being a Maven.

I spy a little bag! Its like going shopping. I love it! And upon pulling it out, I notice its tied with a pretty pink ribbon. What a nice touch!

Inside there is a box with my Glycolic Hand Scrub, my polishes wrapped in pink tissue paper, and two samples. The samples are a hand cream with SPF 30 and Facial for Hands Glycolic Hand Scrub. I will probably save the sample scrub for a polish swap or giveaway since I already have the regular sized bottle.

After unwrapping the pink tissue paper, I see my three polishes. From left to right: Julep Nail Therapy, Cameron, and Alfre. Nail Therapy is supposed to keep nails strong, healthy and nourished. It contains Vitamin E and can be used alone or as a basecoat. Cameron is a beautiful pink. I can tell just from the bottle that I will love it! And last, but not least, Alfre. Its a brand new polish, not yet released from their Fall '11 collection. In the bottle it looks like an almost metallic purple/gray. I'm not a big fan of the gray shades, but I saw a swatch of Alfre on another blog, and I think I'll love it for Fall.

I am so excited about my first Julep Maven package. I cannot believe all the stuff I received. Each month is supposed to be $40 worth of products for only $20. I got this package for $5, and the card says the retail value is $76. Its an amazing value!

For anyone wondering about the Maven Program by Julep, I did a previous post about it after I placed my order. You can find it here.
