Julep Maven - April Box

The same day I received my Spring pastel polishes I also received my April Maven box, which was a pleasant surprise because it wasn't slated to arrive until next week. I actually had to go back and look at what polish I choose for my April box because I couldn't remember. 
I do however remember not being so thrilled about all the vivd colours from this months collection, I was clearly more in the pastel/Spring mindset lol! hence my additional purchases (re: last post)


This month I chose to go with Boho Glam, I'm a sucker for purples and green typically isn't my colour but its quite spring like, so I thought I'd give it a go. 

April's box also included a Julep Glow blush. I opted for Peach Belini, which seems quite natural. I'm looking forward to trying this one out. It comes in a great little square compact that includes a mirror. There was also an additional coupon code for 30% off your next Julep purchase. It does however excluded monthly boxes, the secret store and a couple other things but worth it if you're buying random things, unfortunately after all the additional purchases I've made since this box, I think I've maxed out...for now. 


After un-boxing these items I realized they are a lot prettier than they looked on screen. i really love that they have a different colour reflection. I did test out Kayla on my toes and after a third coat it looks really good. I also noticed that the colour did dry fairly quickly, which is always a bonus. I do always apply a quick drying top coat as well as quick drying drops. Some colours have been known to smudge even after all that care, but not this one.
