Evie looks like Joan .. no?

Joan is darker and more raspberry-y. Evie looks like a strawberry colour more

Yes you are right. I was thinking of Janel when I said Joan!

I think I will take a gamble again and order the big mystery box. I am so curious as to what they consider "awesome." Tell you the truth, I have been looking forward to the mystery box since last month. I really hope someone finds a code. I think I will wait until tomorrow to order to see what others find.

Love those colors. Yes gotta have that color in my life, lol.

XD there's a julep swatch for that too:



Janel doesn't have shimmer but Evie does... so if the really tiniest details matter to you.

Also, if I'm right, Janel stains?

I'm sitting on the fence. *waits to let the first round of people ordering take the hits /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />*

 

[foxyroxy-26]

Joan stained my nails for me. I haven't used my Janel yet to know if it stains or not. :/

 

[foxyroxy-26]

I want to see swatches of Evie.

I have 170 Julep polishes and another 10 on the way from the August box. I'm for sure going to get all dupes just like I did last time so even though Evie is cool, I'm going to sit this one out and buy her when she's on sale /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i'm in the group titled 'julep swap' on facebook; it's closed but if you join they often just accept, no process or anything. there are files everyone can access that have feedback under at least hundreds of swappers' names. there is a 'do not swap with' warning file, too. i imagine someone could easily edit negative feedback out from their own name but everyone in  the group would see it, as would the admins. i was weary at first but ISO julep ivy so i put out a post stating such and offering to swap the sea salt spray, juleps, china glazes or orlys for it. ivy is a beautiful OOS color so the only way to get one anymore is to swap for it, so i was willing to give a little more than would be monetarily equal. someone privately message me and then she said she had more juleps if she could have more of my china glazes, so our swap ended up being julep ivy, minka and hilary for julep sea salt spray, china glaze in the rough, bump & grind and of coarse. honestly, it was an unfair trade but i perfectly accepted it and can't wait for my items. we both mailed out the items ourselves this morning. i'm not sure what's customary but a lot of people will exchange photos if their polishes are used (ivy visibly has a mani's worth of product missing); my swap mate and i exchanged photos of the mailing receipts with tracking numbers. i think a lot of it is common sense: check the person's profile (do they have zero friends indicating a fake profile, zero pictures, no network, etc), be weary of weird behavior (changing details about the swap last second or after a time you established you'd be mailing it, not wanting to pay for tracking, etc). it's almost always safe and a lot of people swap tons of things (some probably weird); even in the julep swap group people sell everything from sinful colors to butter london.

Thanks for the great information. As I collect more polishes, I am sure at some point I may want to participate in swaps. It is good to know that most if not all on this site is on the up and up.

Is there any code work for mystery box discount??

Lessie, it is time to see if that rep was right about this being a box not to miss. I am on a hunt for a code. I would looove that gift card. Who wouldn't, lol!

Yes! You're the reason that I held out for the mystery box! I don't have alot of julep points. It will cover one polish extra soo I'm on mobile so hard to see everything. Oh well breaking my bank. I do not have those colors like that Red everyone was talking about dups and etc. I've been maven since this April and I only have 20 colors of julep so this is a good start and last.

I have the worst luck w/ the mystery boxes! I really need to stop ordering them- I would have LOVED to get version #1!!  I got #3- & I really dont like any of the polish colors  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  maybe I might keep sheryl...but the rest of the colors are all cue :sad trombone music:  I tried bunny- its so pretty in the bottle and then all the gorgeous shimmer disappears on the nails!

I also got the Oxygen Treatment, the 30 spf hand creme, earrings & taffy. I will probably put the oxygen treatment and earrings up for trade but I am still very happy with this box!



Nan, Maria, Jane, & Anne

ahhhhhhh! julep I hate you!  I love evie! man! I shoulda skipped the golden box (which unfortunately for me, wasn't so golden..) and got this one instead (I wonder if the julep30 would have worked on it...)

The new color is pretty, but it seems similar to Zoya Ananka.

What do you all think?

I think Evie might show up as an add on or in the secret store eventually just like Kyla and Monica did this past month. 

 

[Jstull1]

My tracking finally started moving and I got my golden mystery box today. I got version 4! I'll post pictures soon. I'm afraid to try my luck with another mystery box, if someone finds a cupon code for it, I might go for it.

 

[Jac13]

You are sooo lucky. All that waiting paid off. Enjoy all your polish and yes pics.

 

[Superfish19]

The color is pretty but August is the worst month for me financially. (Oh the joys of bring a teacher!) So I'll have to skip. Still waiting for my champagne trio to come.

 

[lexxies22]

I love the new color but what really gets me is usually the add-ons, but I hate when they feature sets as the add-ons because they never say what colors are include in each one. Any guesses on the colors in each set?

Wow! I see your frustration. I was looking for that color swatches too. Nope! That's a gamble! I might have to skip add on bec some are dups from last months mystery box. 😕

You can only use points on your monthly maven box anyways. You also can't pay for the box in cash and then use points for add ons.

 

[Jac13]

I think this is why they do not advertise the names. High possibility of dupes for many. I wonder if I add on to the mystery box will they make sure that I won't get dupes from it? I would HATE to have 2 of the same color in the box just because I decided to do an add on.

I didn't work for me...and I haven't used that code on anything before, so I'm going with no discount codes. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Janel has shimmer, just not as obvious as Evie's gold shimmer. (My coworker's Janel arrived today and we were all admiring it.)
