The Maven Julep Box is a second favorite behind the Glossy Box. I usually tried all of the products and would buy them at the store and keep my subscription as the amount I pay per month is far less than it would be if I were to purchase individually. They've also managed to introduce me to products and colors I wouldn't have thought would it my skin tones or tastes. My favorite items to receive are the nail polishes and eye shadows. They match those well for me and for what I like. This is a good box to balance out other boxes which may not focus on nail art.
Lastly, you can customize your box, switch things out with no additional cost depending on what you select or you can be totally surprised which is what I tend to do. The nail polishes last for a few days and eye shadows wear well.

Onyx Professional Nail Dryer is a dryer in a can. It conditions cuticles and nails and is fast drying for most nail polishes. I recommend allowing your nails to sit for a few minutes before applying. For the best results hold the spray back about 6-8 inches and repeat only once if necessary. As long as the nail polish is fresh and not too old and sticky, this product will dry your nails in less than 10 minutes. If you wear heavy coats of polish this may take a little longer to dry.
If you use a fast drying nail polish top coat, it may interfere with the results of the spray.
Also, the shine the nail dryer leaves behind is beautiful.

Essie Nail Polish has several type: Shimmer, Shiny and Matte. All of them glide on easily and have a 4-5 day wear without any chipping or peeling on natural nails. Essie also has an excellent variety of colors to choose from. some stores carry Essie for $4.99 but usually it is carried at $8.50 and up (USD). The stores which carry the cheaper bottles appear to be colors from the previous year but those colors work as well and usually it just repackaging with a new name, There may be a different formula used but the polish seem to be consistent. -

This is one of the best lipstick colors Mac has created which compliments multiple skin tones across the color palette. It last most of the day through kissing and coffee. It only needs to be reapplied once.
The matte can dry your lips out so use some type of lip protectorant afterwards. It's a little challenging to remove at the end of the night but with an oil based lip color remover, it'll come off. Otherwise this is the perfect lipstick.
Do not let the boldness or neon look of it frighten you. It's very pretty once applied properly and with a lip liner and gloss for a 3-D effect and it goes with a variety of colors in your wardrobe.
