My Monthly Subscription Box List - Updated

Time to update my Subscription Box List....  See my post here of what I've subscribed to in the past.  I may have gotten a little carried away with having so many of them, but in my defense, many of these boxes do allow you to skip months or schedule your deliveries.  (The boxes with the stars * beside their name are the boxes that allow you to do so).  I'm not actually getting all of these each month.  (Just when I want to receive them/can afford them).

1.  Julep Maven * - $19.99/month
2.  PopSugar Must Have Box - $39.95/month
3.  Birchbox - $10/month - Update:  Cancelled on 7/18/15 due to trying to become more minimalist
4.  Ipsy - $10/month - Update:  Cancelled on 7/18/15 due to trying to become more minimalist
5.  Stitch Fix * - $20/month non-refundable styling fee 
6.  Hello Fresh * - $69/week for each delivery + shipping - Use code XT3PSB to get $40 off your first box.
7.  Graze * - $6.99 - $25 depending on which size box you choose to receive.  (I'm currently signed up for the 8-snack box for $11.99/week
8.  Raw Spice Bar - $6/month - Fresh, authentic spice blends created by top chefs for your next globally-inspired meal.  **My favorite foodie box so far.  It's so affordable and the spices are wonderful!**
9.  Little Lace Box - $59.99/month for a single box, $149.97 for 3 boxes (6-month subscription), or $269.95 for 6 boxes (annual subscription) - boxes are delivered every other month.  I signed up for the 6 month subscription and will get my first box in June.  Click here to get 15% off your first purchase from Little Lace Box.
10.  Fabletics * - $49.99/month - Buy items as an outfit or individually.  You can skip a month or make additional purchases at any time.  I've ordered several times from them now.  Each month their pieces have proven to be well made, quality pieces.  Plus, if you spend over $49, you receive a free magazine subscription to various publications of your choosing.  So far, I'm REALLY pleased with the quality/price/style of their items!  Use this link/referral code to check them out now and get your first outfit for 50% off!!
11.  Golden Tote * - $56.95 ($49 + 7.95 shipping) or $149 (free shipping on the $149 tote) depending on which tote you choose.  For the $49 tote, you chose 1 item and Golden Tote will send you 1-2 additional items based on the style profile you fill out when registering.  You are able to view available items for both totes to make your choice from.  For the $149 tote, you choose 2 items and they send you 3-4 additional pieces.  I've purchased one Golden Tote so far and LOVED IT!!
12.  Club W * - $39/month + $6 flat rate shipping for 3 bottles of wine.  (Shipping is free if you purchase 6 or more bottles of wine for the month).  When you sign up, you'll complete a "Palate Profile".  Each month, Club W will make recommendations based on their assortment of wines they think you would like to try.  You can choose their suggestions, or make your own selections.  They give a wonderful description of each wine, including telling you where it's produced and what notes of flavor it offers.  Click here to receive 50% off your first 3 wines.   
13.  Hamptons Lane *- $47/month (free shipping).  **Click here to receive $10 off your first box.**  On the first of each month, Hamptons Lane reveals their curated box for the month.  After seeing what's inside the box, you have the option to decide whether to purchase the box or skip the box for the month.  (You also have the option to purchase boxes from previous months as well).
14.  Serendipity by Little Lace Box - FREE for current Little Lace Box Subscribers.  $9.99 month for non-active LLB subscribers.  Every other month (on the months LLB does not ship), Serendipity will send 5-7 items (including full-size items) that weren't quite the right fit for the LLB curated box.  Most items will be make-up/beauty items.
15.  BespokePost * - $45/month (free shipping).  **Use code "myfirst" to receive 25% off your first box.  On the 1st of each month, BespokePost emails you the new theme box selections for the month.  You have until the 5th of the month to select your box or to choose to skip the month.  This is a monthly men's subscription box, but I liked some of their box selections, so I decided to join and purchased their "Copper" box, featuring supplies (including 2 real copper mugs) to make Moscow Mules, for $33.75.

Have you tried any of these boxes?  If so, which ones are your favorites?  Know of a new subscription box?  I'd love to hear about it.  (Please do not include referral links to any of the boxes listed above though).

XOXO,

Stephanie

JULEP MAVEN June 2015 Subscription Box Review

What it is:  A monthly nail polish subscription box.

Cost:  $19.99/month (plus, you're able to purchase additional "add on" polishes at a discounted price

Details:  On the 20th of each month, Julep reveals the theme and polish selections for the following month's boxes.  You have until the 25th of the month to select whichever box you like the best/want to purchase and any "add on" items.  You also have the option to skip the month (and not be charged).



I had planned on skipping June's box since I've been getting quite a few other boxes lately (and honestly don't need anymore polish), but when I saw the selections, I ended up changing my mind.


This particular box is called "Jelly Much?" and features polishes with a clear "jelly" finish.




Here's the list of what it included:


Here's a closer look at the "Tiffany" polish - RV $14


I instantly fell in love with this polish!  It's a beautiful sheer pinkish-red color (which is what I gravitate to the most).

The best part of the Julep website is that they show you what the polish looks like when applied to different skin tones/ethnicity's.  It really gives you a good idea of what the polish actually looks like on.



This purple shade (Lori - RV $14) is pretty too!  (Right on trend)!!


I love this beautiful light Bordeaux color!



Most Julep Maven boxes come with 2 polishes and another beauty item (ranging from lip gloss and lip stick to eye liners, mascara, pedi lotion, etc.).  Most of the time you can choose your shade.  This amethyst color is so pretty!  I'll definitely wear it a lot!  (RV $16)



This month I purchased "Morgan" as an add-on for $4.  (RV $14)



It's a beautiful, vibrant shimmery purple, which really caught my eye!



(Apparently I was really into purple this month).  I couldn't pass up these beautiful shades though!

The final treats were the two lollipops from Chupa Chups.  I've never heard of that brand before, but they were yummy!

FINAL VERDICT:  This is one of my all-time favorite Julep Maven boxes!  I instantly painted my nails with the "Tiffany" polish when I opened it.  I paid $29.14 for this box and the total retail value of everything included was $58 (plus the lollipops).  I'm happy with that!

Have you tried Julep Maven yet?  If so, what did you think?

XOXO,
Stephanie
