Julep Maven Intro Box Review & Giveaway!

Posted on by Adventures in Polishland

If you are a blog follower of mine, you know how much I love Julep nail polish and being a Julep Maven member. Though the nail polish retails at $14 a bottle, the Maven program is a great way to get their polish at discounted prices. In order to let my readers try this great product at no cost, I wrote to Julep. They sent me an intro box to review for all of you, and they are giving one away for free! First, let me show you what comes in a Julep Maven intro box.

The packaging is always so cute!
My new polishes!

Each month Julep offers five different Maven boxes, and you choose the one you like the most based on your own personal style. The “It Girl” box always has three nail polishes in it, while the other styles have two polishes and another product (such as lotion, nail polish remover, lip gloss, etc.). I decided to pick the It Girl style to show you! The polishes I got were Morgan, Claire, and Blake.

Morgan is a beautiful deep purple polish with a hint of blue and red shimmer. None of my photographs could capture how stunning it is in person! I used two coats of this polish. The formula was perfect! I love the frosted look it has, and the shimmer adds a lot of dimension. I love purples, so Morgan will be used frequently I’m sure.

Claire is a gorgeous sky blue cream polish. I also used two coats, and again had not problems with the formula. I love cream polishes, and this one is no exception. This polish is great for people who aren’t sure if blue nails are right for them, because the color isn’t bright, but a nice pastel. This is the perfect color for spring!

Last but not least is Blake, a yellow cream polish. I loved the color of Blake, but I did have some formula issues, which is very unusual for Julep polish. My first coat was very uneven, but a second coat helped to even it out. If I did add a third coat it would have probably cleaned up the manicure, but with two coats I could still see brush strokes on some nails. Other than that small issue with the formula, the polish was really pretty. Yellow is actually a great color for nails!

Now that you’ve seen my It Girl intro box, it is time to win one of your own! To enter, you must click HERE. It will bring you directly to the Rafflecopter site. Julep is running the giveaway for me, but if you have any problems entering, don’t hesitate to contact me. The giveaway is live until September 7th. If you want to join Julep right away, you can get your first box for just one penny by entering the code MAVENINTRO at checkout. Go HERE to sign up!

500 Facebook Likes Giveaway WINNER!

Posted on by Adventures in Polishland

Congratulations to the winner of my 500 Facebook Likes Giveaway, Chummy K.! 

You win the Lil’ Shooters Collection from OPI!

You have 48 hours to email me at adventuresinpolishland@gmail.com with your address or a new winner will be chosen. This will also be posted on my Facebook page.

Thank you so much to all who entered the giveaway. Unfortunately I received approximately 300 false entries that I deleted before choosing a winner. I really appreciate all the support I receive from my amazing followers, but I do not think I will be doing another raffle-like giveaway for a while. It breaks my heart when so many of my entrants lie about following my blog, sharing my giveaway, etc. Stay tuned for a scavenger hunt giveaway in the future!

—————————————————————

UPDATE: It has been 48 hours, and the first winner did not claim her prize. Thus, a new winner has been chosen! Congratulations, Madison G.! You will also have 48 hours to email me at adventuresinpolishland@gmail.com with your address to claim your prize or a new winner will be chosen.

500 Facebook Likes Giveaway is now LIVE!

Posted on by Adventures in Polishland

To celebrate reaching 500 Likes on my Facebook page, I am giving away the Lil’ Shooters set from the OPI Texas Collection! 

To enter, go to my Facebook page HERE! You will find the Rafflecopter widget in the upper right hand corner of the page directly under my cover photo. This giveaway is open internationally and will end on July 26th at midnight. Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions.

A big THANK YOU to my 131 blog followers and 745 Facebook fans!

UPDATE: Please note that I am verifying entries as I receive them. Any fake entries will be deleted & that person will be disqualified from winning. It is only fair that you play by the rules! That means if you say you are following the blog, you are actually following. Thank you for understanding!

50 Followers Giveaway WINNER!

Posted on by Adventures in Polishland

A big THANK YOU to all of my followers (now a total of 106!) and to all who entered my first giveaway. Unfortunately, some of you did not read through the rules and I had to weed out the entries that did not qualify. That left us with a total of 45 entries. It really stinks that Rafflecopter doesn’t work on WordPress, because I think that was one of the main reasons I didn’t get too many entries. I will work on finding a solution on that for future giveaways, along with opening them up internationally. Anyway, on to the winner!

After verifying all of the entries, I used a random number generator to choose the lucky recipient. And the winner is Melanie S., a fellow blogger! Please email me at adventuresinpolishland@gmail.com with your shipping information within the next 48 hours or a new winner will be chosen. I’ll post this on Facebook, too.

Speaking of Facebook, have you liked my page yet? I often post sneak peeks of my manis, sale alerts, and more. When I reach 500 likes I will be having an even bigger giveaway. What are you waiting for? Like it HERE.

Thank you all again for your continued support. I hope you have been enjoying my Adventures in Polishland.

Thank you all so much for your support! I started this blog just over two months ago in April, and I am so happy with how far I have come already. I now have over 900 page views and I am up to 57 followers. To thank you I am giving away some awesome products which were donated to the giveaway by LASplash Cosmetics. See how I used their polish and glitter HERE.

As this is my first giveaway, we are starting out small. Over time the giveaways will get bigger! This is only open to those in the United States, as I am still learning about international shipping. Here is what you can win:

LASplash Glitter Top Coat, Blowfish Blue polish, and Mardi Gras nail art glitter.

Please enter by completing these actions. The first two that are bolded are mandatory. In other words, if you don’t do both of them your other entries won’t count. Rafflecopter won’t work on my page, so we’re doing this the old fashioned way.

  • 1 entry for following my blog. WordPress users follow by clicking the “Follow” button at the top of the page, others by entering your email to the right. 
  • 1 entry for “Liking” my Facebook page HERE
  • 1 entry for “Liking” the LASplash Facebook page HERE
  • 1 entry for “Liking” this blog post.
  • 2 entries for Tweeting about the giveaway
