Because it wasn't an option. I think we all need to write Customer Service and let them know in a polite manner how we really feel about the Garden Party Collection.

That's going to be my box exactly - except I also added Fiore! Should be here when I get home from the salon tomorrow afternoon!

OOOoooo, that trio is GORGEOUS! I love them!

and on the grey hair note, my father went pepper grey at 19 so I have frantic moments every once in a while when I see pale shimmer in my roots LOL I do have maybe 4 or 5 silvery hairs on the top of my head though, but since I color my hair it doesn't bother me all that much. As a matter of fact I've toyed with the idea of coloring my hair silver with dark grey shadow undertones and very pale lavender highlights but that would involve growing out what I have now and that would just take FOREVER

  Now my Hubby, he has a lot of greys, mainly on the sides but personally I think it's adorably sexy!

Julep's Angela from July. I accidentally broke two nails off at the quick last weekend so I was sad and stuck on what to do with these little nubs, but Meagonla told me on another forum that black or navy looked good on short nails, so I used the darkest color I had. This is two coats, but the second coat really wasn't necessary - just habit for longevity... I added the lt. blue rhinestones in the center of the moons, but as you can tell from the picture, I got one in the wrong spot on the index finger - this is not as easy to do as it looks like. This is my first time to use nail jewelry. I wish my cell phone would show the colors better. And I needed my new glasses (to be ordered Friday) to paint this dark color. Any tips for working with darks, ladies?

I mentioned Coco/oxblood as being a hot color on Fall Runway 2013 and there was some discussion afterwards ... I was quoting from the June Allure. At the doctor yesterday, I was flipping through a Lucky from November 2012 and guess what color it was saying was hot in November? Oxblood! Looks like the powers-that-be in the cosmetics industry are really pushing us to like Oxblood. And I forgot I even had Coco when Meaganola told me about using a dark color on short nails, until after I was done with the Angela manicure and was putting my color back in the box I keep them in.

Did it need to be an option? They say which do you want 1 2 3 4 or 5? We say ALL /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> simple! and DONE! That way there is something in there for everyone.

I see what you are saying, foxy ... sometimes I don't think outside the box ... guilty! 

 

[foxyroxy-26]

I like the Garden Party theme. Hence I upgraded. 

It's hard to create something everyone will like.

I really, at this point, don't know what would interest me in the Secret Store this month. I am so disenchanted right now. The only thing that interested me in the email the other day about Savvy Deals was the Suede Collection, but before I could even try to scramble up some money in my bank account, it was posting Out of Stock. The only thing that I think MIGHT interest me would be if they recycled some of last fall's colors for those of us who are still new Mavens.

Its okay. I'm not trying to be rude or anything. Idk, I'm just being selfish because I have none and want all /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Its just that some ladies already have Tracy and some already have Adele. It would suck if the polish you have already is in the secret store and is selling for $4.99-7.99. You'd be like hey Julep why didn't you put up a polish I didn't have on sale? 

It seems like Julep is having a really hard time pleasing everyone so having all 5 of the options would leave no room for complaints.

I'm on the same page as you. I'm really excited, but now that I think about it I'm like why am I so excited? lol

I hope for some of the neons from the Jan box (b/c I skipped that month) & some of the July colours (b/c I skipped that month too)

I just went and browsed the Julep store. There are very few choices in the Maven Exclusives section and the Savvy Deals, too. And so many of them say "OUT OF STOCK". I think they really need to add some new items to the Secret Store to keep us interested more. One thing I am looking for is a good foot creme and The Best Pedi Cream Ever is out of stock. I forgot to say that I used the Glycolic Hand Scrub before I took the picture of my Angela manicure, too. I think I am going to try the Hand Brightening Cream when I place my Secret Store order and see if that works good, too.

That Glycolic Hand Scrub is the bees knees, though, isn't it? I love that stuff!

Yes, I LOVE IT! My hands feel so much better after using it!

I'm the same! Not sure what would be exciting to me... Good for my wallet!

The beauty bio code should work on sets. I used it on the Hello Giggles set and it knocked it down from 36$ to 18$ making each polish in the set 3$ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> win! Julep also made an error and sent me two sets so I got each polish for 1.50$ - double win!

That was lucky! I was trying to buy the crackle polish set for a friend but the codes aren't working. Maybe because it's under the savy deals category?

No, Alicia, I don't know why. It should have worked. Did you follow all the way through to checkout (without actually checking out) to see if it added the promo code at the end? Speaking ot the text code for 50%, do you have to place your order via text for it to work? Also, is it possible to use it for the Mystery Box this month?

I went through the entire checkout process without actually placing the order. Oh well!

I just received my first sub box and I thought it was kind of sweet. I like the messages with the seeds and the message on the box. I thought it was a lovely package. I am still new so I haven't been jaded yet.
