My September Julep Maven Box!

Yay! I have a lot of fun getting a monthly box from Julep Maven. I just got my September box yesterday, on the 1st of the month, so that worked out well!! It only took 6 days to get here from Seattle this time, so 2 days faster than last month. I wonder if they changed their shipping? Anyway, happy girl over here! Here are the goods:

This month's box:
Everyday SPF Hand Cream($28)
Julep Essential Cuticle Oil($18)
Boris & Nicole nail color($14)
Total retail price $60, I paid $19.99 with the Julep Maven program. :)

 Here is a side view of the Cuticle Oil next to the polish. I have a theory to explain these odd shaped "windows" on the sides of the bottles. I think they are supposed to represent what a stroke of polish would look like, and in this case, a roll of the cuticle oil. Anyone else with me on that? I feel very smart for this theory! hahaha

 This is the lovely Boris & Nicole! Such a gorgeous bronzy color, but check out the shimmer!!

Ready for my thoughts on this box? I was a little disappointed to only get 1 polish this month(because I love polish!) but at least I love the color they chose for me. I also really like the cuticle oil. It is thin and a roll on, so it's super easy to use and smells nice! Kind of a nature-y smell..maybe trees? I can't place it, but I do like it. I am an avid cuticle balm user, and this may change my mind! Or at least, I will leave this in my purse and use it often as well as using my cuticle balm before bed! On to the hand cream, I was happy it was 30SPF, but I don't love it. It smells like sunblock, and feels a bit like it, too. Not as greasy as sunblock, but much thinner than my current hand lotion. I'll definitely keep it and use it if we plan to be outside, but I won't be replacing my thicker hand cream with it.
