Julep: August 2013 (Spoilers)

[jessicalriley]

I decided on the Bombshell box with Champange trio, Lois, & Marjorie. I'm not really interested in any more crème finishes at the moment. Of course, if any swatches come out, I might change my mind.

 

[neblinosa]

I skipped.

 

[annifer]

I would like to see swatches though. When are those usually available?

 

[brandarae]

Skipping. Can't wait for the Bondi sub to start!

Here's the link to swatches: http://www.julep.com/august-maven-garden-party It's my birthday month so I choose It Girl and the Champagne Trio.

I was SOOOO excited for August (I'm for sure becoming an addict!) but am totally bummed by the colors.  I love their cremes but am ready for something else.  I've seen the Bondi sub but have never tried Bondi.  Can you ladies provide some thoughts on it?  Also, any news on how their sub will work?  I don't know what I'd be ready for just a complete surprise box of colors.

Or maybe I'll try some Zoyas?  I haven't tried Zoya either but some of those colors!!   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'd appreciate feedback on Bondi and Zoya!!

Jeez, more colors that are dupes of their own colors. The only thing that even interests me is the friction stick, but I wouldn't pay more than $5 for something like that. I can't believe the Moisture Mask is 13.99 for 3 single use treatments. The values are just way off for me this month.

the only colors i really like at all are the midnight blue. i would've been all over the yellow back in spring/before summer so i could've enjoyed it all summer long. i also would have liked to get veronica mostly because that's my mom's namesake. the champagne trio has silver caps and it's pretty but not that unique: a silver, a champagne color much like zelda but definitely different, and a glitter that's hard to describe off of one glance. definitely nice.

however, the trio of one time use masks? what on earth is julep thinking... that's the second item in the modern beauty box and the upgrade still costs $55 with it. let me rephrase that: a SAMPLE PACKET is substituting as a full fledged item here. i would again, be all over an actual mini trio of masks, say 1 fl oz each, even if that were the only beauty product for the month.

major disappointment this month.

I tried to place my order via my iPhone. It's my only computing option right now. I was able to select the it girl and three Add-ons. But I never saw a button that said buy. All I saw was a button that said save. So I saved it, but now how do I actually buy my choices. If anyone knows, please let me know.

Right now I have classic with a twist chosen and Nellie as an add on. However, I may actually be skipping this month because the colours just aren't anything I don't already have. Usually Im modern beauty but both those items are things I'd never use

That's all you have to do, is hit save. Then you will be charged on the 27th.

The colors of the products and the beauty items do not excite me- its a definite skip for sure!!

I LOVE Bondi. According to a response to something I posted to them on FB, their August box will include colors from their current collection, September will be a preview of fall colors, and starting October will be colors not available for general sale. I've seen responses to others on FB that also indicate that we will be given the opportunity to preview each month. I'm definitely in. I have 6 of their polishes and love them all. They also have the best CS on the planet.

This is a skip for me. I wouldn't be able to use either of the beauty products (not that I'm interested in the stick thingy) and It Girl includes an orange which I know I'd never wear. Here's to saving money!

Thanks Annifer. After all that work and all that stalking I was afraid I done it wrong. Big sigh of relief.

 

[Imberis]

I'm skipping. Again. The colors aren't terribly original, and any of the ones I want I already have really similar colors in other brands. Honestly, I'm getting sick of Julep having the "good" colors (although I know that's subjective) as add-ons only.

The friction stick is way, way too expensive at the $17.60 they're trying to pass it off as worth. I have a Dr. Scholl's one I got at the drug store for like $5.

This is pretty much exactly my feeling.  A few of the colors are pretty--I'm a sucker for blues and purples--but I already have things like that, and I don't want their expensive friction stick.  If they had offered a box with a blue, a purple, and the glitter that's now an add-on, I probably would have gone for it. 

Instead . . . I hit skip.

You're welcome!

Usually at the same time that the Maven Window opens.

You can make changes to your selections until the window closes on the 24th.
