I had a hell of a weekend and last couple of days and as a result, my blogging efforts suffered a bit. HOWEVER, I'm here now and I'm here to (FINALLY!) review this month's Julep Maven box. I actually got it on the 1st so I've had time to try out the included products and I can essentially say how much I like them or don't. Said box only included two items this month so my review should be brief (well, relatively).

Julep DD Creme in 'Light'
So, the dynamic do-all creme (hence the DD) is supposed to basically make your face perfect, if you believe their breathless claims of perfection. However, if your skin veers towards oily, then proceed with caution. However, you only have to use the tiniest drop so that's cool. Unfortunately, it does suffer from the orangey syndrome that other BB cremes suffer from and it gave me a faux tan thanks to my skin being a bit lighter than what this creme considers light (warning: I'm not super fair) and it isn't for the 'naturally dewy' among us. It will, however, be great for the dry/normal skinned ladies. 8/10
Julep DD Concealer in 'Light'
The companion concealer is tiny! So tiny I thought it was sample sized! However, I then realized that you need the tiniest drop to cover a pretty large area. Like OCC lip tar tiny drops. It suffers from the same orangey issue as the DD creme but it does cover basic imperfections and even helps with large pores. I'm actually very satisfied with the DD concealer. Plus, the add-on brush was a godsend because it is freaking perfection for the application of both the concealer and the DD creme. 9/10

| Yes, they're tiny!!! |
Overall, I'm quite happy with this month's box but I do advise anyone with oily skin to be careful with the DD creme. I've decided to only use it on days where I don't want a lot of makeup or if my skin is feeling dry. I forgot to add that there were also 3 saltwater taffy's included as a surprise. Flavors: strawberry, chocolate, and lime. I didn't actually get to taste any because they were raided upon arrival but it was a cute addition.
