Ah, the illusive mystery box! I don't have the power to resist you. This
month
Julep
released not one but FIVE different categories of mystery boxes. Each
category is based on the different style profiles such as It Girl,
Bombshell, Boho Glam, American Beauty, and Classic With A Twist. Each
category will only have polishes from that style and there will be no
cross overs. Julep Mystery boxes cost $19.95 and contain items worth
$60-$200 dollars! Considering the polish alone at Sephora is close to
$15 dollars each, these are a steal.
I decided to buy one of each! The second to arrive was Bombshell. This box was even smaller than my first box, my heart sank with disappointment. The box was smaller than a size of scissors. While the box was very small the items were worth more than what i pied. This is one of the $60 dollar boxes and the polishes were beautiful, not to mention i also received a lip verins (lip gloss). I fell in love with their lip gloss's when i got one in the July box. So overall, not so bad. These polishes are opaque after only one swipe. Christine is a little streaky but applies so beautiful i don't think you will find it to be a deal breaker.

Parker-
This is a creamy yellow orange. I was so excited about this color. When i tried to open it the cap snapped right off. I ordered another one, called customer service, and i am being refunded. This company has A+ customer service. So while i wasn't able to do much with this polish i was able to do a quick swatch.

| Yes this is a toe swatch. My manicure was too nice and fresh to wipe off. |
Niecy-
A bright, almost neon, creamy pink.

| Excuse the bad paint job. I am terrible at painting my toes. |
Christina-
Medium with micro gold. I love love this color and these pictures do the shimmer no justice.

Lip Verins in Peony-
Love this lip gloss. It is a smooth nude and applies very soft. This is non sticky, has a great smell, and no weird taste. It is a little milky and will settle into the creases of the lips so maybe apply over a nude lipstick to prevent the settling.
