I’m a huge fan of Julep, and I often order the monthly boxes but more often than not I also purchase the mystery boxes when they become available. I was kind of excited when the New Year’s Mystery Box for 2012 became available and even more excited when I saw each box would contain between $100 to $500 worth of product for only $19.99.
I am pretty happy with what I got sent, although I would have been happier with $500 worth of product. How amazing would that have been?
Here is a breakdown of what was included in my box (which was noted as being #6 as there are a variety of different boxes sent out.)
- 89mL Age Defying Hand Brightener $32
- 3 nail polish remover pads
- 2 samples Age Defying Hand Brightener
- Blue Glitter Pot
- 5 Nail Polishes: Sienna, Chelsea, Mischa, Boris&Nicole, and a mystery polish with no name $70
- Julep Reusable Bag
Total Retail Value: $100+
I really love these colours and this box was totally worth it for just $20.

The Jelup Mystery Box sounds like a great deal. I know my daughter would love to have all the finger nail-manicure things. The hand brightener would be my favorite.Thanks for the great review.
That’s pretty cool – I love surprise things like that, too!
Wow ! I’ve got to check this out. I love nail polish and can never have too many.
Love this idea! I’ve been wanting to join for a while now. How can I say no to just $0.01?!?! Seriously, that’s such a great deal.
i lobe julep the nail polishes they have are so unique and long lasting….i did the offer for one penny and i could not believe the products I got, the produts alone are so expensive
This looks like a GREAT deal! I will have to send off for one!
Is there tax on the box? Shipping?- Tara Berke Torres
It’s always FREE shipping. There was tax on the mystery box but no tax on the one cent box.
I love Julep New Year’s Mystery Box. Julep’s nail-polishes are awesome.
Julep…Never heard of it.. Maybe I’ll order me something.
My daughter subscribes to Julep, I like what I have seen thus far
I have never ordered a Mystery Boxbecause I d o not use a lot of nail products. However I did try and receive once some Julep products and they are first rate.
I don’t do the Mystery or Makeup Box because I’m Not using the stuff every day like I did before. Do you order month by month or does it become auto like so many do? I hate that, it usuall hits when I don’t have the money ready for it. Thanks for the review.
You get an e-mail every month to either order or decline that months box along with a preview of all the different boxes..
Those nail polishes have me droooooling! I love nail color! I don’t use Julep but I’ve heard good things about them.
I love Julep..somehow I missed out on the mystery box this time though
They are great polishes.
I have been hearing a lot lately about beauty box subscriptions, this sounds like the best bet for me,I like the idea of getting or refusing the box in any given month.
