Julep: August 2013 (Spoilers)

[LinaMingo]

Just found out from reading the Julep FB page that we are supposed to get Jules on our birthday. June was my first Maven month and also my birthday month and I didn't get Jules. You are supposed to contact them at [email protected] if you didn't receive yours.

The same thing happened to me and it was bc I did not have my bd listed in my profile. I emailed them and they gave to me with no problems. Their cs is usually on the ball.

Well, between the Mint Condition pedicure cream and the DoubleStep product, I'm betting everyone that this month's focus will be pedicures. Since I don't do pedicures .... what are some popular mid-summer pedicure colors for all you people lucky enough to show off your feet????

From my understanding, according to one of you guys, are we supposed to get spoiler on July 20th? which is Saturday. Will it happen or do we have to wait until Monday? Sorry I'm still new to Julep and been with them since April.

I'm a runner and I use Bodyglide for all my parts of my body and feet.  Don't need an overpriced friction stick.  Unless the colors are amazeballs, this will be another skip.

We get our box picks (so not a sneak peek. The whole shebang) on the 20th of each month (at around 6am-ish Pacific time, if I recall correctly), whether it's the weekend or not.

They were REALLY on the ball this afternoon. I emailed them and they responded as you said that it was bc I did not have my bd in my profile and went ahead and put the Jules in my account.

lexxies22, it is not a spoiler. The Maven window opens officially on the 20th and stays open until the 24th. This is for you to make your selections, change boxes, add add-ons. Then you are charged on the 27th and your box (so far) arrives on the first. If you don't take a box, you can't access the secret store that's open only to Mavens for the first 72 hours of the month.

Every woman I know who has a pedicure this summer--and I mean every single woman--has either baby blue or a pastel mint color on her toes.  Including me, ha!

so now I'm thinking maybe that Mint Condition pedi cream is the second item in the Modern Beauty box? sorry if someone already had this epiphany =)

Mine are hot pink. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I do use blue on my nails alot though. I think it's because in the summer, our office is a lot more casual, so I can get away with those colors. When we go out to clients, then I keep it a little more traditional.

I'm wearing Amy on my hands (Smokey turquoise creme) and Claudette on my toenails, which is kind of a brick red. I almost always wear red on my toenails. It makes me feel old Hollywood glamorous.

Is it true? Could it only be 10 more hours. I've kept myself busy by doing a watermelon manicure. I wanted to post a picture but I don't know how to do it. If anyone has any suggestions on how to post pictures from an iPhone I would appreciate it.

wait... what item is this?! angismith just posted this image for the qvc deal but i don't think we've ever seen the top product (i could be wrong; it could be a really old one?) the bottom product looks like the strawberry lip balm.

i will probably skip if the foot stick is in most of the boxes. at first i really defended julep's outreach into beauty products because i thought it was awesome, but i was also under the impression that they were adding a makeup line. i understand jane park's ideas about how novel it is to release beauty products without it taking several years, but i think it will be the death of julep if they release hit or miss products every month (mostly hits, to their credit) and never have a permanent line. i wish they would just tell us, but it makes sense they won't share their business plan (i.e. being locked into promises they made). 

i agree with the statement someone made about it being like purchasing super expensive bandaids from julep: definitely a no-go for me.

The top product looks like a Dior lipstick.. it's probably another one of the award winners/contenders

lol you're right... it's not an image specific to julep. i guess i'm just super hopeful that some foot stick isn't the highlight of the august collection.

QVC has the winners on their site now.  It's definitely Dior Addict Extreme Lipstick.
