Sorry, I'm a little late to this party. Can someone tell me what kind of coupon code you get if you text Julep to that number? Is it a coupon that will work on any order from Julep, or is it just about getting started on the Maven program? If it's workable on any order, I'll try it too!Originally Posted by Jac13 /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Thanks will try it.
I am only two months old, greatbleuheron! I got the intro box in May, the June box through customer service because the Maven window had already closed, so July was my first experience as a Maven. Julep has tapped into a great marketing technique with a product that has survived the recession and is booming full speed ahead, as is my knowledge about manicures and polishes and colors and COLLECTIONS! Ha! I admit I did learn a lot from YouTube from MissJenFABULOUS's basic hand care video, and Robin Moses's videos about basic tips. I signed up for Birchbox and Ipsy at the same time as Julep. I love the subscription programs, but have decided after 3 boxes from all of them, to let my Birchbox and Ipsy subscriptions go so that I can concentrate on my manicure collection! Mostly Julep!!! This will allow me to get the add-ons every month with the money I would have spent on the other two products. I came up with nothing in three months of those two subscriptions that I fell in love with, only confirmed that I didn't like Oscar de la Renta's Something Blue which I really wanted to love. I got my first Mystery Box this month from July. I have hit the Secret Store both in June and July, I have ordered several "special" one day onlies ads from Julep, I hit the Warehouse Sale in June. So Julep goodies FAR OUT RANK the other programs. There is no comparison! I read that lipstick is used as a measurement of government evaluations of consumer spending because lipstick survived previous hard financial times. It has not done as well this time, but I think the secret is that nail polish has taken it's place as the one luxury item that women of all financial situations is still willing to find the money to buy. It transcends all age groups and finances.
Historically, lipstick used to be the big recession-proof product. I'm not surprised that it's changed to nail polish now for several reasons I need to type out on my laptop instead of peck out on my phone.
Yep. I'm not sure what your reasons are, but I think one of the really valid reasons is that the average price of lipstick has become more expensive than the average price of nail polish. In drugstores, the "average" polish is under $5, while the average lipstick is probably between $7-10. That has to be a huge contributing factor, more than anything else.
Hi angismith! You and I are piling up Julep polishes at an alarming rate! I got the intro box in June, and my first real Maven box at the end of June/beginning of July. But all of this was initiating by seeing some random internet stranger's link to the warehouse sale, where I did major damage.

Exactly! I am very picky about my lipstick (still haven't found my favorite yet though). How we feel about our beauty is interwined with our self-image and lipstick is part of that. But like you say, what can go wrong with your nails but a little bit stained? Gel polishes are, however, another story for another day. I like the freedom to do a basic manicure or an intricate nail art. And if you screw up buying the wrong color for you ... well, there's usually someone - a mother, sister, niece, BFF, church member, teenagers - that would be happy to take it off your hands, so to speak!
I think you may be the first to break the first of the August surprises, Alicia! Mint Condition along with that beautiful mint polish .... and the blue matches the packaging. I did notice during the Summer Days/Summer Nights, that everyone got Glycolic Hand Scrub in updated packaging. It has been available on the site, but marketed in black and white tube. Ooooh, I can feel the excitement building. Am I going to upgrade to everything? I thought I never would, BUT ... you know the saying .... NEVER say NEVER!Originally Posted by Alicia Loves /img/forum/go_quote.gif
My friend just signed up for the intro boho glam box and is getting the picture below. I don't ever remember this cream. Maybe it's in the August box? Or perhaps just a new addition...its not on sale individually on the site.
I was the same way when I got mine, LOL! Silly, isn't it, how the tiniest things can just make our DAY!Originally Posted by greatbleuheron /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Haha, and now I'm ridiculously happy that I finally have my first heart.
Are you talking about when the bottle of Drew broke on me Sunday night? I got all the Drew cleaned up except on my index finger. No one even noticed. I worried for nothing! I contacted Customer Service and they are shipping me a new bottle of Drew! How cool is that?!
