Boxes and Boxes: Julep Maven & Vegan Cuts Beauty Boxes!

I signed up for some beauty boxes!

I won't lie, I've had my eye on both of these boxes for a long time. I mean, come on, what girl wouldn't love to get new surprise beauty products in the mail every month? You can finally have Christmas in July!

Besides the excitement of having a secret package left on my doorstep every month, both of these companies send awesome, high quality products. It was finally time for me to make my subscriptions!

First, I chose to subscribe to Vegan Cuts. They're a great website with all things vegan, sort of a massive department store of all the best vegan products. You can purchase food, clothing, makeup, bath products, and even jewelry on this website! If you need a gift for anyone, they've got you covered. This holiday season they have compiled several stocking sets like the Spa Lovers Set for your best friend, Holiday Grooming Box for that man in your life, and the Leaping Bunny Stocking with a host of various items for the new vegan cousin you've just converted. ;)

Vegan Cuts also curates boxes for those on their monthly subscription list. I did have a hard time deciding whether I wanted to get a box of snacks every month (!!!) or some beauty products. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen making my own snacks already so I decided to go with the Vegan Cuts Beauty Box!

Best decision ever.

November's box came with all sorts of cold weather goodies:
-Demes Butter Me UP in mint
-EVOLVh UltraShine Moisture Shampoo
-LaMav Antioxidant Rich Nightly Repair Nectar
-The All Natural Face Diva Stix Black Kohl Eyeliner

-Mullein & Sparrow Tinted Lip and Cheek Balm
-Shorganics Orange Spice Bar Soap

I particularly love the Butter Me UP mint stick by Demes. I can use it on my hands and my lips and I really enjoy the sustainable cardboard packaging. The lip and cheek tint is my other fave. It's nice berry color is sheer but so buildable!

Okay. now we talk about the Julep box. I seriously am going to LOVE getting this box in the mail every month!
One of the really neat things about Julep is that you get to take a little quiz when you sign up to determine your "style profile". You may be matched with: Bombshell, Boho Glam, It Girl, Modern Beauty, and, my match, Classic with a Twist!
Each match entails whether you'll get two nail polishes and one full size beauty product, three nail polishes, or two full size beauty products in your monthly package. I'm personally looking forward to getting two new nail colors and a full size beauty product every month!

The MOST amazing thing about Julep? Their nail polishes are 5-free, vegan, and feature Oxygen Technology to keep your nails breathing under all that glam color! I don't know about you, but I hate taking off my polish and finding suffocated, yellow nails beneath. Gross.

I got one of their special Christmas boxes this month which included three nail colors and a full size eyeliner. I love every single product in this box. The gel eyeliner is very high quality and goes on like a dream. All of the polishes have a nice thick formula; two coats is all you need, maximum!

The nail polishes are from the Bombshell palette and feature the colors:
-Nancy (fir tree green with loads of silver shimmer)
-Fazia (rich red shimmer)
-Margarita (opaque purple)
+ Julep Gel Eye Glider in Rich Brown

Oh yeah, and you can get your first month free just by signing up! But even at full price, this box is totally worth it!

Go ahead and take your quiz now!!

Remember, both companies are vegan-friendly and cruelty-free to the max!

I'm going to go and paint my nails now...
