My March Julep Maven box arrived today, and I was so excited because I had switched my profile from It Girl (you get 3 nail polishes in your monthly box) to Modern Beauty (you get two beauty products). I love that you can switch your profile each month, based on what products you'd like to receive. During the preview, I saw that there would be two lip products in the March Modern Beauty Box, a lip scrub and hydrating treatment. I also added on a nail polish for $5 because I loved the color. Take a look at what I got!
Here are the cards that came in the box that describe the lip products:
First up is the Luxe Lip Conditioning Treatment. This comes in a squeeze tube with a metal applicator, which feels nice and cool when applying the treatment.
This treatment retails for $24 ($19.50 for Mavens), which is more than the cost of the whole box ($19.99)!
Enriched with natural ingredients that soothe, hydrate, and plump lips, this silky-smooth moisturizer sets a new bar for balm.
- Features & Benefits:
- Cooling metal tip soothes dry, chapped lips & stimulates microcirculation
- Omega-rich pumpkin seed oil boosts lipids & helps retain elasticity
- Healing oil blend heals enhances definition & locks in hydration
- Vitamin E unleashes protective antioxidants to prevent collagen loss
- Natural botanical waxes create a soft, silky-smooth texture
Ingredients:
Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Polyethylene, Hydrogenated Soybean OilCetearyl Olivate, Glycerin, Sorbitan Olivate, Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seed Oil, Hydrogenated Olive Oil, Cetyl Alcohol, Polyglyceryl-10 Heptahydroxystearate, Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol, Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Oil, Acacia Decurrens Flower Wax, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax, Jojoba Esters, Polyglycerin-3, Phytosterols, Phenoxyethanol, Flavor, Mica, Iron Oxide (CI 77491), Tin Oxide- (CI 7786-1); Tltanium Dioxide- (CI 77891)
This balm is hydrating and feels really smooth on my lips. Not sticky at all! It has a peachy color, but doesn't seem to add much color to the lips. It has a yummy sweet nutty scent, like shea butter. I'll likely use this as an overnight treatment as well as throughout the day. Love it!
Next is the Buff Lip Scrub ($20, or $16 for Mavens). This is one of my favorite lip products already!
This exfoliating, hydrating scrub makes it easy to de-flake on the go—just massage on and wipe off. Your lips will look and feel better right away.
- Features & Benefits:
- Fine sugar crystals act as a natural exfoliant.
- Panthenol (aka vitamin B5) dives deep to heal & moisturize
- Shea butter leaves lips smooth
It comes in a twist up pen form, with a soft flocked applicator. You twist it up to dispense the scrub, which comes out looking like a clear gloss with sugar granules in it (it wouldn't photograph very well). I rubbed it into my lips with the applicator first, then rubbed my lips together several times. It felt gritty, yet also there was a hydrating aspect to it, since the sugar is in a gloss-like balm. After, my lips felt so smooth and the dry flaky patches were gone!
Ingredients: Polyisobutene, Octyldodecanol, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Vp/Hexadecene Copolymer, Sucrose, Microcrystalline Wax / Cera Microcristallina, Myristyl Myristate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Tocopheryl Acetate, Panthenol, Fragrance, Tocopherol, Benzyl Alcohol, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Limonene, Citral, Linalool, Geraniol, Citronellol.
Finally, I added this polish on for $4.99 (it was in this month's It Girl Box, but I didn't want to miss out!) It's a pretty blue shade that I thought would be perfect for Spring, called Margaret ($14, or 11.20 for Mavens).
Plus, as a bonus, they gave me a candy stick (see the second picture up top).
So overall, this month's Maven box was worth $58 retail (including the nail polish) and I paid $24.98! Without the nail polish add-on, the Modern Beauty Box would have been $19.99, and just the two lip products are worth $44 by themselves!

I just signed up, I'm sooo excited! I love getting stuff for free! My style profile said I was classic but I liked what was in the Boho box better so I went with that. I like that they show you whats in each box so you can pick. I mean, the element of surprise with other boxes is fun but sometimes I dont like anything and its a waste of $$$.
