Another month, another Julep collection. For November 2014 Julep brings us The Friendsgiving Collection which has a variety of chill fall colours to help us transition into the season. They've also given us a sneak peek and early access to some of the Holiday 2014 sets! (With more set to be released in this month's Secret Store - come on full Birthstone Collection!)

I still haven't gotten my Julep box for October (they recently changed shipping and a lot of people are in the same spot) so my excitement has been tempered a bit by that... But anyway, the products still look lovely so let's get right into it. :)

Julep has a few new and exciting beauty products for us this month. First they have two new mascaras - one for length and one for volume! Julep says that their lengthening mascara Length Matters "uses a finely tapered, micro-bristle brush to layer on more and more mascara for a softly curled, wide-eyed effect that keeps on going and going…and going…!"

Their other new mascara Go Big is "all about bombshell body: its micro-cylinder brush is tapered to reach every last little lash with a luscious, volumizing formula that won’t flake, smudge, or wear away—no matter how teary eyed you get after a toast." Both of these will retail for $26 (US) non-Maven price.

You can see more information and swatches of all these products on the official Julep blog, as well as the full list of available products to swap in.

About the Julep Maven Program: The Julep Maven program costs $24.99 a month and is fully customizable, or you can pre-pay for 3 months and receive each box for $19.99. You can also upgrade to the Maven Luxe program for $39.99 a month ($34.99/mo if you pre-pay for 3 months) which entitles you to a fully customizable box plus one additional product per month.

Right now the only thing sold out is the Plié Wand and I think that's because it was one of the swap-in options for this month. Personally I think the Core Classics box is the best value, but I ended up going with a customized It Girl box with Marzia, Ilsa and Shari.

The selection window is open from now until the 24th at midnight, so if you want to get in to select, change or skip your box remember to do it soon!

Let me know what you think of the products this month! Thanks for visiting!
