Julep: August 2013 (Spoilers)

[lexxies22]

yeah i'm hoping to go in on my first mystery box this month if it's sure to be a huge hit, as rumored. thanks for that tip lexxies22. i have almost $15 in gift cards so it would cost me ten (as long as it's the $24.99 price). i would LOVE for them to have two colors like last month's mystery box, or even just the chance of getting one of two, like they've done in the past. i have more than 50 julep polishes so i don't go for the mystery boxes but i would for the chance at limited edition polishes. i want the glitter from the champagne trio but i don't really have interest in the silver. they described it as a white gold but it's really just a silver. the taupey-mauve metallic in the champagne trio is gorgeous though, but because of zelda i don't feel it's compelling. anyways, my point is lol that if they have the glitter/taupey mauve metallic or comparably gorgeous shades in the mystery boxes, i'd definitely grab one.

Me too! This is what I was told by other MUT user probably in Julep July 2013 post. I'm not gonna go look for it. If time permits bec she is on Bondi Post as well so I will click on her screenname and track that post she posted.

Heh. The word "assured" has been so misused in my office that it has come to mean pretty much the exact opposite of what it should mean. "I assure you" = "No way, no how, but I'll say yes to make you go away."

EXACTLY! That's why I had to say that! LOL you got me right there 😃 it kinda sucks that I don't get julep points for a mystery box purchase.

I counted last night, and I have 49 (two of which are doubles), not including tc/base, and other products.

e_e eesh no wonder i feel bored half the time.

Well I ended up skipping, I just didn't find the product or colours really speaking to me this month. It kind of makes me sad. I just couldn't justify it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Same here!  Hopefully Fiore at least goes on sale...

Im really looking forward to the friction stick. Its almost like Julep knew what I needed without me even having to ask for it!

I also got my Summertime Big Mystery Box. I have every single one of the five polishes I recieved. Worst luck ever /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />.

I am on the fence about skipping this month because I wonder what the gift this month will be since its their anniversary. I don't know what to think since Glossybox and Starlooks had disappointing anniversary boxes. I was expecting better colors for this collection maybe something like what we got in May.
I don't know if you saw last years 1 year anniversary box from Julep, but in case you haven't--it was that tiny plastic tote bag they've been giving out in mystery boxes several months in a row, and sell for cheap online all the time. 

That makes me regret taking my box. Lets hope I am pleasantly surprised.

newbie here... and sorry to bother yall! But i have some questions.

Do yall find juleps small amount is trouble some? I can get Zoya for $8 each and they have over twice the amount...

also, do your Juleps dry really slow? Mine are dinos.

btw, i am REALLY looking forward to the champagne trio! i ordered a it girl box since i dont have much julep yet and i kinda like the brown and orange. pink is always a keeper for me.

Thanks!

Welcome!

Also new to julep! Been following the thread but decided to finally join in on the chatting fun I joined last month and also did a mystery box, but this will be my first maven month. I was curious about the mystery boxes--when do they typically offer them? Also, are the warehouse sales I hear about rare??

Welcome!

I ended up getting classic with a twist.  Julep is the sub  that gets the fastest to me so I am excited that I will have my box around the same time as everyone else and not a month or so after.

I decided against upgrading in the end. The masks don't interest me and only one colleague wants one polish. So I chose the Bombshell box (Lacey is the only must-have colour for me) and 2x Fiore: one for me and one for my boss. I think the dark brown will look excellent with a matte topcoat for fall.

OUUUUU matte top coat on Fiore! Yes! That sounds lovely.

a french tip mani with fiore would be gorgeous... shiny tips, matte nails.

i definitely kept my skip status but i look forward to having pretty browns, reds, oranges, indigos, golds, etc in the fall.

i'm super nuts and already started a september thread; fall is by far my favorite season. (i'm also a new england girl so fall is absolutely stunning here).

edit: they just sent out a fiore email; it looks totally different... i also needed a raspberry shade. i'm super regretting not doing it girl with lacey add on. lol i still have my 50% off code so i'll likely buy trina, fiore and lacey later on, if the mystery box is a miss.. who am i kidding, i'll probably do it all.

Ow ... you are right ... worst luck ever! But you did get Kyla and Monica, right? They are gorgeous! I liked what I got but I don't think I will be getting any more mystery boxes unless there are exclusive colors guaranteed like the Summer Days/Summer Nights set. I'll stick to hitting the secret store and special sale offers to round out my collection.

Yes, I think Fiore will be a great matte polish. And I love fall too! Looking forward to lots of pretty autumn collection next month from Julep. Off topic for this group, but did anyone else see the Chanel Alchimie metallic olive color just released? OMG! Why couldn't Julep have done something innovative and fresh like this?!!!

 

[angismith]

Just wondering .... and speculating .... does Sephora always have a 50% sell on the OPI by Sephora colors this time of year? I am wondering if they are thinking of ending this collection and maybe starting a new partnership with Julep?

I'm sorry! Hopefully you can trade them or sell them somehow? That stinks. I've only been with Julep for maybe six months or so, and have skipped a few months, and even in the last mystery box I got I had a duplicate!
