Julep: August 2013 (Spoilers)

[cari12]

Are you guys using the BEAUTYBIO code more than once? Or are there just people out there who were more patient with it and hadn't used it yet ;-)

I used mine right when they offered it and thought it was just for one polish, so that's what I got. I wish I'd known it was good on the whole order!

I live in Canada - so it does take a little while longer. No worries though. It gets here on a Monday usually always, but this Monday is a holiday for us, so hopefully, fingers crossed, it will be here for Tuesday! Also the Julep30 code only works ONCE so make sure you have everything you want in your cart when you are going to use it - I learnt the hard way.

Oh my! Ok thanks for the advice. I'm gonna take my chances.

I used BEAUTYBIO (50% off) once, and JULEP30 (30% off) once.

On a same order or separate order?

Different order, you can't combine them.

I also used a text code on another order.

I know this forum has many posts and I just can't read them again LOL I think it's 33533 right?

PSA for anyone interested in buying some Zoya polishes: free shipping today with code YAY.

Oh no, I just ordered a mystery box yesterday.  Could I possibly need Zoya Fall Pixiedusts too? 

I think we all know the answer is an enthusiastic YES.

so i'm really hoping that julep will realize just how many mystery boxes they've sold at the $20.99 price tag rather than $24.99. i was new to julep when they were $19.99 and only beginning my addiction, so i was super picky about shades. now i appreciate a wider range of colors, finishes and textures but i haven't bought a mystery box because of the price increase. i can only imagine that if people knew about the code, they'll see a surge in mystery box purchases.

There has only been 2 mystery boxes for me so far ... June's Destination(?) which didn't interest me and the July's where I really wanted the two exclusive glitters. So I only knew the one price of $24.99. But I knew when I saw the Golden Mystery Box at $29.99 IN THE SECRET STORE, that it was going to be good. I just KNOW it. If I get disappointed, then so be it. I will have to eat my words. But I am wondering .... will there be a regular Mystery Box in August? I'm thinking not. Do you have any knowledge about it? The one thing that I am disappointed about is that I jumped on the Secret Store items I wanted and then find out later in the day about the JULEP30 code. I could have SAVED so much if I had just waited a few hours! But it enabled me to go back and pick up a couple of things I was wavering over. I have so many new polishes coming that I think I could paint each digit a different color and still have several days before I repeat!


Considering the Golden Mystery Box was only made available through the Secret Store, I am willing to bet that there will be another Mystery Box in August.

Ooh, me too!

I probably won't get mine for 2 weeks though, seeing as how it seems to be taking 9 days for my boxes to trek from Seattle to Vancouver (a 2-hour drive, BTW), and they still have to travel across the country to me in Toronto...

Edit: hold the phone, this tracking looks like a different code. Expedited shipping maybe? Lol, it would be so funny if the Golden box leapfrogged my 4 other Julep orders in transit, including my August maven box!

Haha--YES.  I love Zoya's Pixiedusts! 

I just saw a blog post reviewing OPI's liquid sands in their new San Francisco collection for Fall . . . and man, OPI's got nothing on Zoya in the textured polish department.  OPI's version looks flat and muddy to me, while Zoya's is all glittery and bee-yoo-ti-ful!

Just to stay on topic with Julep-y stuff, I'll add that I really liked Tracy too.  Tracy had that same glittery non-muddy quality as Zoya's Pixiedusts.

The OPI Mariah Carey liquid sands are gorgeous, I got the set of minis. The blue one has holographic glitter.

Does Julep Tracy look anything like Zoya Nyx? I have Nyx and my coworker is getting Tracy, I don't want a dupe.

Excellent question.  I have Zoya Nyx too & was wondering the same thing.  

Anyone have both to give us a verdict?

Please & thank you.

curse you whomever posted the zoya code. i've been waiting forever. i really want all of the cashmeres and satins for the fall but i was really really good (okay i swore off more polish and that was before the mystery box and before the zoya purchase) but i held myself to just getting louise! it's a beautiful chocolate creme (much lighter and warmer than fiore, sorry julep but that's what i wanted). it killed me to pass up pepper, channing, sailor and hunter.

also, i feel like maybe by posting the links and code i generated hundreds in profit for julep so they'll forgive me? lol

I've been looking forward to my Julep box all week - ordered Classic With a Twist and added on the Champagne Trio. It was on the truck for delivery on Wednesday but never showed up... here's what the tracking says:

First-Class Package Service
Delivery status not updated
July 31, 2013, 9:45 pm

USPS Tracking / Delivery Confirmationâ„¢
      Out for Delivery
July 31, 2013, 7:45 am

Okay, that pasted kind of funny, but you get the idea - has anyone ever seen this happen before with USPS? If it was out for delivery on Wednesday AM and wasn't updated on Wednesday PM, where the heck is it? Crossing my fingers that it is there when I get home today, but thought this was kind of weird. I'm SO looking forward to getting my hands on that Champagne Trio!!

I LOVE the Opi Liquid Sands and the Mariah Carey ones are my favorites. They are beautiful!

Do you happen to live in a neighborhood or apt/condo complex with the locked mail boxes?

I do and have had that happen before. There are only 6 big package boxes in our pod of mailboxes so if they run out of those, they put the rest of the packages back on the truck and deliver again the next day.

Oooh, I hadn't thought about that. We do have locked boxes but my past Julep boxes have just been left at our front door (instead of being in the regular box or in one of the bigger package boxes) which is why I was a little worried. But maybe we have a new mailman and he didn't know to do that and put it back on the truck instead? One can hope. Really hoping it shows up today, I'm so excited for that dang Trio!!!

This happened to me with a Birchbox order a couple of days ago. It showed up the next day.

It happened to me yesterday as a matter of fact with a birchbox order. I'm hoping it will be there today when I get home.
