Julep: August 2013 (Spoilers)

[neblinosa]

technically three days since it seems we get to see the collection on the 19th ... yay!

19th or 20th?

19th or 20th?

They have been posting the collection on the 19th lately, so we get to look things over before the selection window opens. There is guarantee they will do this every month, though.

Last years colour was Tangerine Tango

I meant that I thought it was like the "in" color last fall.  I know the Pantone Color of the Year in 2012 was Tangerine Tango.

How do you get a mobile code? And would you mind sharing it?

Text Julep to 33733 & you should receive a 50% off coupon code.

The Allure article was in May 2013 and was referring to nails and lips that were worn on the Fall 2013 Runway shows. Maybe the nails and lips are behind fashion?

Last month I did see the window open in the wee hours overnight on the 19th. I'll probably be sleepless again in anticipation and checking every couple of hours to see if it's open!

you don't have to wait for the window to open; usually i don't see that open til 7am eastern time.

they typically have the web page for the collection open the night before.

Oooh, I agree with the author - "Antique Ruby" sounds so much nicer.  I'm surprised they didn't change the name to "THAT IS MAHOGANY!" after The Hunger Games came out last year.

I got Caroline in the warehouse sale and it is called a dark burgundy, but it could be an oxblood. Very pretty. Haven't worn it yet, waiting for fall.

Oxblood is an apt name for the specific color it describes. All of the other reds listed refer to a different shade on the red-brown spectrum for me.

A lot of the beauty sites have been talking about nudes for summer. Does Julep have a good nude creme?

 

[jessrose18]

New to MUT and still learning my way around.  I mean this in a completely good way, but I can't believe you ladies are already discussing August!  I love it--it's weird how exciting this is.  Some marketing genius has completely figured out the crackpot psychology of thousands of women.  Including me, of course.

I just sent an email to customer service, Alicia. We'll see what they do. I only asked to have Drew replaced since it was part of a set.

Interesting.  I just emailed photos of my Drew to cs.  My brush was frayed.  I wonder if there's just a problem with Drew?

I'm new to MUT and Julep and it took me two months to become sickenly obsessed.  I don't know how it happened, but Julep has a great thing going for them, for sure.  Seriously, how can I be so excited over nail polish??  Meh, who cares!  Is it the 19th / 20th yet???
