Julep: August 2013 (Spoilers)

[meaganola]

Last year, they did send those who had subscribed from the very beginning an extra extra: a dog tag keychain stamped with the Julep logo, if I recall correctly (my kats claimed it as a toy and list it for me long ago, so I can't verify what was stamped on it).

That's kind of irritating. I  like the way BB does it, by sending it to you on your anniversary; it's not like any of us can go back in time and retroactively be one of the first mavens

I thought it was a nice gesture to those of us who took a chance on a brand new sub with absolutely no track record. And they do now give extra points for your anniversary. They weren't doing those at that time. (I think there was also a handwritten note from Jane Park, but I might be confusing that with my first box.)

That makes sense. But I have only gotten one box other than the first one, so it's not exactly recurring. I guess it could be worse, but I really do not need the friction stick (I have one from band-aid that works just fine and cost probably $3) and single use masks will get used but I certainly would never have paid $20 for them. Then I already explained why I won't use the seeds. Not the worst month ever, but not the best either. Oh, well, live and learn.

i think the seed idea could have been a lot better if it was a julep bookmark with seeds in it or something, one of those plantable papers. or even little place cards that are plantable as a 'garden party' favor. 

i don't ever complain about the freebie because it's a freebie. for example, the oil blotting sheets from last month sit unopened because i don't ever have facial oiliness and i don't think the majority of people need them.

Yeesh, I was really happy to see those because I do get shiny in the afternoon at work sometimes and carefully put them in my makeup bag for work -- and promptly forgot all about them until I was cleaning out my bag last night. I have them with me every day, but I just forget all about them.

Hi I sent u a PM and wasn't sure if you got it? I try to keep my make up essentials simple as much as I can otherwise some would be hidden away and I forget.

I know it's kinda of a random question, is Julep 4 Free or is it secretly 5 free? Because someone is saying that Julep don't advertise as 5 free polish because they don't want to overdo it. I didn't understand what this person meant by that. I looked everywhere from their FB page to Julep site to Sephora to find information even the blogs... This person claimed that she saw the info on Julep FB page. I looked, nope. Anyone help me to clarify this?

Like Rachel I don't have an oily face. Here's a quick tip if you do. Take a fresh toilet seat cover liner and use that as a facial blotter when you're on the go. I hear it works really well and is flushable too.

I received my box today. I was surprised to get it so quickly. I got the boho glam box and I really like it. I think the seed pack is cute and a nice quirky touch that fits the garden theme well.

 

[gypsiemagic]

got my itgirl box! Love the colors, but they were last on my list to photograph tonight, and it ended up being too dark (next time i will start with the colored products and end with the others rather than vice versa) swatches in the morning!

I think I will go get a little pot and see if i can keep the flowers alive.

I ended up choosing It Girl instead of Modern Beauty. Haven't opened my box yet though.

Starbucks napkins also work well.  I think Dunkin Donuts has similar napkins.

I just...can't....get excited about the seeds. I don't really do any gardening and I'm not an outdoorsy person. I dunno, I mean I absolutely get what they were doing and how it fits to the theme but for their anniversary box I just expected something better. A souvenir of Julep or whatnot.

What?! You CAN'T get excited about SEEDS?! Well what's wrong with YOU?!

Seriously though, seeds are a cheap gift from them. They didn't take into consideration some people can't plant seeds (no place to plant) or don't want to. These won't grow in my area. I planted Forget Me Nots on Baby's grave after her death and the flowers never grew. My area is just too hot and dry. I wish they would have done a limited edition nail polish of one of their first colors that was discontinued like Kim or something.

oh my gosh we are sad. lol with very awesome nails!

also, the store director is reviewing my sephora application tomorrow. i really want this. i'm already talking with my friends as if i have the job; ideally i'd like her to review the app tomorrow, call me in for a 1pm interview, and then start in the afternoon. *wishful thinking* i know that won't happen, but seriously.

Good luck! I wouldn't be able to work there they wouldn't even have to pay me just give me products lol.

They posted on Facebook that the extra this month is

Forget me not flower seeds.
Im not happy with that at all, I expected something better for their anniversary that's why I got the box instead of skipping.

I am pretty sure the beautybio code was just BEAUTYBIO.  If you are trying to do the codes on the deals for people who skipped, I think only the texted code works on those.

that's because the code is BEAUTYBIO not BEAUTYBIO50

Thanks ladies. It worked /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I got the trio for 9.99$

I'm so excited about the seeds. Forget - Me - Not's are impossible to find in a florist or anywhere that sells flowers in my area. & I REALLY WANT TO GET MY HANDS ON SOME. Now I can plant my own with the seeds. WOOOOO. Please don't think I'm weird, I just really want to go around handing out the flower to people I know so that they don't forget me  hahahaha
