Kai? I couldn't find this on the site!

just because you spent your points doesn't mean you didn't earn 350 of them before getting to vib status.

anyways, kai is a random new sea salt shade only available currently as an intro box add-on.. i know it bugs me and some of you when they don't give actual mavens exclusive things, giving them others first.. the tricky part is that intro boxes are for mavens, so it technically doesn't break the promise that mavens get items first.

the white gold has glitter but it definitely did not under the maven window swatches. anyone find that confusing? also, the august shades come up as 'coming soon' but fiore can be added now.

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.

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.

WOW! I hope you get it ... that would be like a dream job!!! Keep us posted .... If you need references, point 'em towards us, LOL!

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.

I wondered if something was going on with them and OPI ... this is not the first pick sale on the Sephora OPI colors this summer. And I don't shop enough to realize they have their own brand of polish! I usually remain loyal to just a few brands .... Deborah Lippmann is one of them and Beauty.com just sent me a free offer for one of her polishes with a $20 site purchase. No problem! I shop there a lot ... as a matter of fact, most of my shopping is online.

NO, I do not like that seasoned Mavens do not get offered new polishes first! They have a new sea salt finish for a beginning Maven and not for us who have been begging for more choices in finishes??? That's just not RIGHT! 

As for white gold, I hope the glitter doesn't show up much, I was hoping for a simpler color with this particular color ... and as someone said, Reiko is beautiful! I can't wait to get it on my fingers!!!

If you guys/gals/fellow nail enthusiats miss me tonight, the cardiologist is sending me for sleep study to verify sleep apnea and preliminary study for pulmonary hypertension. I did an oxygen study last week and I was wiped out the next day, so I may miss some posts if y'all get very talkative!

I hope all goes well!

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!) :icon_eek: http://www.julep.com/the-champagne-trio.html

That's ridiculous about the price on trio. I'm glad that I skipped the sub box and hope for one of those in mystery box bec someone mentioned that they will go big on mystery box. *ðŸ™*

OR expanding Sephora X nail collection? I could talk to them and ask for a manager to find out what's the scoop? I snatched up a couple of nail stickers.

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

I got that email too. Insane! I've reached up to 1800 points before. I got a new set of Josie Maran Argan oil for 500 points. I'm extremely picky about samples. Right now, I have about 850 points. Lately, I've been spending elsewhere for the last year since I relocated.

Good luck. I hope you get conclusive results and hopefully good ones. Its not knowing that always is frustrating.

So spend $10,000 at Sephora (1 pt = $1) and go backstage at New York Fashion Week from Stila? Uh, yes please! LOL

Thanks, Jessica! Just checking in one last time before I have to leave ....I don't foresee any problems since it's just a confirmation of problem, just know I will be EXHAUSTED! But from your picture, I am sure you know what EXHAUSTED feels like! LOL! I remember those years well.....

Thanks, swimsalot! Yes, not knowing is frustrating, but what I dread is the wait between now and the cardiiology ultrasound and other tests on August 6. It will drag on forever! At least I will have a Julep box to brighten one of my nights! Really looking forward to seeing the Champagne Trio in my collection!

I bet I can go to Paris for a lot less than $10,000!

Yes, ma'am! I know exhausted well. The good kind of blissful, happy, thankful exhausted that only a mother of a toddler can know! My picture actually needs updating, but there are so few pics of the two of us together. The current one is from his first bday, & that was a year ago! Time is flying. That is, unless you are waiting for nail polish! I MIGHT have opened a 2nd Maven acct to snag that sea salt finish...yeah, I did that. I got the it girl intro box for free, & added on Kia (the sea salt finish), Portia, freedom polymer top coat, & drew plus a mystery item. I know...I'm nuts.

I was thinking of doing that myself but I didn't know if would work. Do you have to use a different email address. And by the way I also remember those days with a two-year-old whose his head gets heavy and his body droops and he's just ready to sleep. Thank God for that. That's when i would do my nails. All kids look sooo cute when they are asleep,even my college-aged son. Enjoy your little one time really does fly.
