no, i just tried beautybio and it did work for the trio. 

I'm not really interested in any of those colours but I kind of want Reiko just for the name. LOL my first domain, which I purchased almost 10 years ago was "reikou" and Reiko is the name of a character from one of my favourite shows XD;

I really don't like gold colours on me though. Sigh ):

BEAUTYBIO does not work on the trio.  You have to text JULEP to 33733 and they will send you a code that does seem to take 50% off your total (or at least it was as of this morning).  I think beautybio still works on single polishes though, but that's it.

I got gibberish. They sent a follow up today.

[SIZE=10pt]Oops! The ship confirmation email you received on Saturday may have looked a little mysterious... let us translate.[/SIZE]

Your box is on the way! Great news — your add-ons will be included.* Your Maven Box shipped on 7/27/2013.

We're cutting down on paper inserts! If you miss your style and beauty tips, you can still find them at blog.julep.com.

Well...Julep charged me and sent me a shipping notice even though my card expired in June. I'm not sure how, since it clearly says in my payment information that my card expired 6/2013. How can a company charge an expired card? Regardless, I'm getting this month's box (from the Modern Beauty profile), and it looks like it's actually out for delivery today.

You're joking, right?  I'm glad I skipped.

I guess that was supposed to be a part of the "garden party" theme.  I skipped as well.  I hope September boxes are better and have more interesting finishes.

LOL  Wasn't this the anniversary month?  It doesn't seem like it.

I want to order a mystery box but just don't know about it now.

I've been having the same problem for a couple of days... I posted a question on facebook to see what the deal is.

Nope!  Someone got their box already in the Julep Friends FB group.  Happy Anniversary lol.

Me too!!

I can't help but wonder if the lack of paper inserts is a cost saving measure or a legit "lets reduce the amount of paper consumed" measure. I'd love to think its the latter, but the former is definitely plausable. And the lack of paper inserts means they're more flexible to change the theme/contents of the theme at whim versus being locked down by a print schedule.

I might be alone but I really like the idea of seeds as a thematic extra.

The idea is nice, but...not everyone has a place to plant them. My apartment complex isn't exactly seed friendly unfortunately, and I don't really want to go out and buy a pot/soil to plant them in. Also, seeds are really cheap. Burts Bees was giving away free packets of seeds just a few weeks ago. I don't mind, but I wish they'd have thrown in something else too. Anything rose or floral scented would have fit the theme, tea cookies, floral patterned, etc etc.

Sometimes CC companies will let a recurring charge that you get every month go through on a recently-expired card.

I think it's cute, & I'll use them. There was taffy a few months ago. I'm sure those were cheap. I don't think it is as great as those clips from may! It's a cute way to "send us flowers" for the anniversary, but I don't think it is spectacular enough for the big anniversary month! Those mystery boxes are gonna have to be AMAZING.

Let's hope so!

I feel pretty blah about being a Maven right now.  I thought the anniversary month would feel more special.

I was disappointed in the anniversary boxes of Glossybox and Starlooks. I don't know -maybe we get our hopes up too much and think it will be something really, really special. Then we are especially disappointed when it is just another (regular) box.
