Does anyone know what this link is about?

I could swear it wasn't there earlier tonight.

It looks like it's just an app to connect your Julep account to your Facebook account.  I don't think you can usually see apps like this, so it might just be a Facebook fluke.

Waiting for that August maven link to update. Don't we usually get a little sneak on the blog post before our window opens? Is that at midnight PST?

No, cari12, the official time is 6amPST. I am at 4amCST right now and still no Maven window open!

Only thing new on the blog is about the Wine Collection. An-idepth article about wine tasting, the different COLORS of wine, what those colors are like: fruity, saucy ... - Could this be a clue to August collection? The August Wine Collection??? I don't know about you all, but where I live the grapes ripen in August and a WINE COLLECTION would be perfect for an anniversary month! Only a few more hours to go ......

Not what I'm talking about. 

In the past they've posted the colors and theme of the month the night before on the blog or under a month specific link (last month it was www.julep.com/JULY-MAVEN, and I know people have been watching www.julep.com/AUGUST-MAVEN). It's before the selection window. Which I know is at 6am PST ;-)

Sorry, cari12, I misunderstood you. I have checked my mail, Julep website, Julep blog, Julep Facebook, the link for AUGUST-MAVEN. I don't do Twitter, Pinterest, or Instagram so I don't know where else to look for any sneak peeks.

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????
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!


My toes are painted Bondi New York's Strawberry Fields. I save the blues and mints for my fingernails.

They did a "Wine Collection" earlier this month where they bundled 2 - 3 currently existing polishes into sets. They're gone from the site now but you can see them here:

I wonder if August will continue the 'destinations" theme that they've been doing all summer? We had The Hamptons in June along with the Destination Mystery Boxes, then California Coast in July. Maybe Miami or Key West? Four hours to go...

Time to make some coffee and stalk my computer!

Selections are up in the Monthly Maven Activities section of my account. However, when I go to switch boxes I can't look at any of the swatches or anything so I'm thinking it's not fully opened yet. I will say though that I'm not thrilled with this month's box and for sure the Modern Beauty box doesn't seem worth the price.

Looks like a skip month for me, nothing is grabbing my fancy.  I'm a bit polished out anyhow.

You're right.  Classic with a twist.

Garden Party - August

 

[annifer]

I'm definitely skipping this month. None of the colors look that great to me. Plus, I'm going to be signing up for Bondi's subscription box anyway so I don't need this.

 

[jessicalriley]

These colors are gorgeous! I don't have any dupes in my collection, so I might be doing a full upgrade this month! Plus, the champagne trio in the add-ons looks pretty, too.

 

[angismith]

If you haven't checked it out yet, it's called the Garden Party Collection. I am an It Girl and I was severely let down by the selections for this box, so I will be changing styles. The ONLY thing that really excited me was The Champagne Trio, in particular, the glitter. I will definitely look more thoroughly later. This is just my initial reaction.

 

[jesemiaud]

It's a skip for me. I'm not excited by the colors and I'm interested in trying out Bondi, so this is better for my budget.

 

[AngeBrooklyn]

Meh, skip.

I'm the same as you. I only like the trio.
