Julep Maven It Girl Box for January 2014: The Boudoir Collection

Hey Everyone,
Sorry I was MIA for a few months.  I was finishing up the Fall semester of school plus I had some financial difficulties but I hope I'll be back with some subscription box reviews.  So this month's Julep Maven box was all about fancy finishes and top drawer products (which didn't interest me that much, the products I mean) but I loved the silk and satin finishes so I used my Julep Jules points to get this box free plus a couple of add-ons(thank you to those of you who used my referral link).  So let's get to it.  I don't have a picture of the box itself or the polishes but I'll do my best to describe them.

Annemarie- Annemarie is a warm cocoa crème.  She looks similar to a polish I got from squarehue called Chatham but a little lighter.  To spice it up I put a coat of Sally Hansen's Pixel Perfect on her.  Here's a swatch of Annemarie without the glitter coat.

 
 
Hope- Hope is a stark white satin finish polish.  It is definitely white, matte and has a satin feel to it.  It looked too plain so I put Sally Hansen's Bold Gold top coat on it and that spiced the white polish up a little.  Here's a swatch of it without the top coat.
 
 
 
 
Farrah- Farrah is a lilac silk finish polish.  I haven't tried it out yet but it's got a metallic shimmer look in the bottle and I can't wait to see how it turns out.
 
 
Mae- This was one of my add-ons.  It is described as a lavender satin finish.  It looks like a pale purple color in the bottle.  Can't wait to try this one on my nails.
 
 
Margot- This was my other add-on.  It is a old Hollywood gold color.  It looks metallic in the bottle.  I swatched it on the cap and it looks out of this world.  I love metallic polishes along with shimmer, frost, and now silk and satin finish polishes.  Julep keeps on getting better and better each month.
 
 
That's all for now.  Until next time guys have a great night and stay tuned for more!
