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.

After surfing, I realized that I got this first as an email, then saw it later on Julep's FB page. I went back and corrected my answer to everything and asked them if they were going to restock anytime soon since so many products are out of stock.

Jac, I don't think I am jaded, I am just disappointed with Julep for this entire month's theme. Not that it's not a good theme, I just had high expectations for their anniversary month and it didn't include ANY thoughts of polishes that I would have been THRILLED with had it been April or May. But, yes, you are right, Jac, Julep knows how to create a lovely package that makes you feel really great when you open it. I guess I need to just shut up and get over the August collection. Maybe their Mystery Box will totally restore my faith in Julep! AND, most importantly of all, there's ALWAYS next month!

Aaahhh Angie, I hope so. I know how it can feel to have high hopes and then be disappointed. I hope Julep have spies, lol, that read some of these posts and will try to please us. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. Yes, you are right there is always next month. Keep in mind this is only my first box, so time will tell. On bright side, that's hope for an awesome secret store. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I LOVE JULEP. I guess you can't tell it from my posts lately. But I'll never forget that feeling of opening up my intro box. Then the first month that I got to participate in the Maven Selection Window. And it was not that long ago. So, really, I do just need to get over it. Fiore definitely will be a hit! And the Champagne Trio is MAGNIFICENT!

You're right! Their boxes are so much fun to open- like a present, even though I know what's in there. I, too, have been kinda crabby lately, but Julep has a great program. You can skip as much as you like without penalty after previewing the shades, plus you can buy it all if you love it all, or just pick out the ones that you love as add-ons. All-in-all it is a pretty amazing program & I've always been satisfied with the quality of the products. I think I needed to take a step back and remember what I love about Julep! My August box will be here Friday (possibly tomorrow!!), so I'm anxiously awaiting its arrival!

On the anniversary box issue- so far none of my subs have really done anything special for their anniversary,although everyone has expected it.  Ipsy did sort of, but they just released a normal bag with products from the same brand as their first bag, but I remember people hoping for something special then, too.  I am happy with the garden box, but I don't think it is necessary for julep to do a special anniversary box.  I could see doing it the first year, and then waiting again when they hit 5 because that's a much bigger milestone.

It has a filter, because I find insta filters super helpful in getting the colors true to life, when the camera sort of doesn't pick them up. This is Marjorie and Nellie with the Glitter Guilty monthly mini glitter on top. 

I am so obsessed with ombre nails at the moment, and loved how sunset-y these are. can't stop staring at my nails. (and my new blackberry Q10, no more stabbing my ear with shards of broken glass)

I didnt get an email yet but the secret store is open n there's a golden mystery box for 29.99

Uhhh....I kinda did some damage, both in the secret store and in regular shop too! Text code would not work on total, would only take 50% off the only single polish that I had in my cart, so I saved promo code for later.

Addiction Confession: Even though I SAID I was not going to purchase any more mystery boxes without the guarantee of exclusive colors, when I saw that Golden Mystery Box, my fingers automatically moved to Add to Cart. I am an addict. Where is the next meeting? I don't know if I can wait that long.

 

[Yeti]

I ordered the box and Blakey and used my Beauty Bio code for the polish. I'm telling myself its a fond farewell order. Talk about a weak justification =P. I can't wait to see what's in the mystery box!!!

 

[mariahk83]

I'm hoping that golden mystery box means exactly what it used to...that its a full upgrade from a previous month....gahhhh julep why do I fall for your mystery boxes every time! On another note my mystery box glitters from last month are there!! Yippe

Jessica, did you go to the Monthly Maven Activities submenu on Julep's site?

 

[angismith]

Meanwhile, over in Addiction Alley ... I went back to the Secret Store and added a couple of items to my cart but I did not checkout. I am being very tempted by the pink collection with the Julep emery board, cuticle stick, pink polish, and pink glitter pot...

 

[jessicalriley]

Yeah- I did everything the same as I do every month.....I was able to get it in my iPad, but Safari kept crashing! Not before I grabbed that mystery box & ANOTHER jewelry box. I wish I could afford to get enough of those for my julep collection! Angi- I know you are tempted by the other sets, but remember- that golden box is going to have a good bit of polish in it! Just trying to help! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
