They're discontinuing their partnership with OPI, I heard. I haven't heard anything about partnering with Julep instead, though. I think Sephora is just trying to push their own Sephora brand nail polish instead.

speaking of which, i'm trying to get a job at sephora... my internship is ending tomorrow and the store director had invited me to apply almost two weeks ago. it's been a week since i submitted my application and i'm still waiting to hear. i plan on calling today.

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?!!!

i picked up the sephora by opi s-age is just a number; you might like it as a distant dupe. it has a blue duotone but i don't think it shows up much when you paint with it. it's more olive gold than green but unless you're obsessed with alchimie, it should be a satisfying dupe. it looks a lot more like chanel's peridot though. i also agree with the julep statement: i'm totally near-praying they come out with gorgeous awesome collections for the fall that match the may/jazz one in quality and creativity.

It would be cool if they did another partnership. Nails Inc. would make me crazy happy! I would rather Julep do their own Julep thing. I like that Sephora sells Julep, but it actually kind of bugs me that they release stuff to Sephora before they do their Mavens (was it the suedes that we're released at Sephora first?), I would rather they just do the Maven thing and let us get the new stuff first. On another note, I am totally on the matte Fiore bandwagon!! I love wearing Essie Little Brown Dress with a matte top coat in the fall. Now I've effectively talked myself into desperately needing Fiore...is it too late to unskip?

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!

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.

I'm either going to sell them if I can or give them to friends as birthday presents /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

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.

Yay! I'm going over to the September thread RIGHT NOW!

omg sephora vib rouge???!!!

okay but seriously, who has 5,000 and 10,000 points? devout followers of sephora since it first opened. i always thought having ~1500 was top notch, but i am down to 148. lol

you just have to have spent $1000 in a calendar year...i thought points expired after a certain amount of time, guess not!  really - who saves THAT many points!

 

[r4chel77]

the rewards are 5 and 10k though- insane.... way more than 1,000 was my point (i've hit 1000 a couple times so it doesn't seem too out of reach) however it's bugging me that i can't readily see how many points i am away from vib rouge yet whenever i was re-earning my vib status, i could see how many points i had between beauty insider and vib.

Is it points or spending. I thought I read that you have to spend $1,000 to get to Rouge?

Yes, you have to spend $1,000 in a year to qualify. It has nothing to do with points. It's just like you having to spend $300 in a year to become a VIB

 

[r4chel77]

$1,000 = 1000 points (unless you spend say 700 bucks then 300 bucks the next year, you won't get vib rouge status).

 and regular vib is 350, not 300.

points DO matter because you can't get them without spending. obviously you won't retain vib status forever if you simply spend 350 one year.

i keep trying to make this point lol! : there are 5000 and 10000 point rewards, just like there are 100 and 500 point rewards! i.e. trip to paris and lunch with founder of mufe, one on one yoga with josie maran plus 500 bucks and you get to bring a friend, etc etc.

 

[annifer]

When I said points don't matter, I meant that points are not what gets you to VIB and VIB Rouge status.

Ah, that just confused me because you can spend your points but still reach VIB Rouge status though, correct? I think saying you have to have 1,000 pts to get to Rouge status can be confusing for those that may have spent points in this year, compared to just saying you have to spend $1,000. Make sense?

 

[r4chel77]

points are what gets you to vib and vib rouge. you spend 350 or 1000 and thus earn 350 or 1000, you get vib or vib status. if you simply have those points, you don't get anything- you just have points, so maybe that's what you guys mean.

i think we all get it just have different ways of talking about it. =)

also, i played around on the julep site and when you add the intro boxes, kai is a blue much like robin and has the sea salt texture (no glitter like tracy as it appears). just thought some of you would be interested, but i'm not sure how you can get it since it's an intro box add-on.

 

[annifer]

I sure didn't have 350 points when I reached VIB, it was because I spent $350 in one calendar year. Same thing with rouge. Points just gets you extra rewards.

Like I just said, I didn't have 350 points when I got to VIB. It's about the dollar amount that's added up over 1 calendar year.

I don't know if anyone's noticed this yet or not, but you can search for the august colors by name on julep and they will come up in the search- they're not for sale yet obviously (they say coming soon), but you can see more swatches of them at any rate. I searched for the champagne trio too- it does come up,  good news- the white gold apparently has gold glitter in it! (based on the close up round swatch of color), bad news- it's gonna be waaaay more expensive to purchase separately if you didn't get it as an add on ($33.60 w/ the maven discount!)
