I didn't realize we got the new items first. Another nice touch by Julep marketing.

I like it, although I wouldn't pay the full price for it either.  Julep's prices are way over inflated, IMO.

I agree that some things are, but if you are a Maven, the price is just about right. And if you wait until the Secret Store and catch some of the other specials during the month, they are really better prices than some other brands that aren't as nice in quality.

Waiting for tomorrow night ... hoping to get a sneak peek of the August collection! What do you think of when someone says August? In Tennessee, it's back-to-school time. For a lot of people though, it's when they take their summer vacation. Could the August collection be vacations? Have you seen the ad for Julep colors based on where you are going for vacation?

Has everyone seen the update that Julep's Freedom Top Coat is going to be on HSN tomorrow night?

I like this question!  August for me is dark summer colors, rather than the pastels of spring and June.  Olive, black, eggplant, ripe tomato--ripe produce and heat-burnished vegetation.

In Connecticut with school just out on June 23, August means the real summer is here. We always think of the dog days and the heat waves and being able to swim outside at night. It's still full summer for us and I love it. Maybe Julep will continue to do a summer collection for our August dog days. Surfs up anyone.

In CT for us it also means back to school. it is a huge vacation month for us though.

I guess it depends on the town. How many hours do We have to wait for info??? I can't wait.

I think of August as the last month of Summer and my last chance to enjoy it. I don't associate it with Fall at all other than fall fashion shows up on the shelves...no one wears fall stuff here until mid to late September though. I really want to like the whole collection this month, the colors and beauty products. I can't wait to see it!

Can't wait for (hopefully) the sneak preview tomorrow night... when I think of August, I think about farmer's markets, and the vibrant colors of all the veggies.

I'm not even sure what kinds of colors I'm hoping for, but just hope it's not full of colors too close to other months. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Has everyone worn all of the colors you received in July already??? Tell us what looked best on you! I haven't, but my favorite unexpected combination was Adele and Angela. Looking forward to a "French manicure" today with Kyla and Monica!

 

[autopilot]

I'm wearing Monica right now, at the request of my coworker who loved it in the bottle.

It's still a little sheer at two coats, and I did find it very gloopy. The finish is a little bumpy due to all the glitter but a couple of coats of topcoat smoothed it out. I feel very girly today with my bright pink nails!

Photo TBA.

I've worn Faye & Nadia with Adele & they were gorgeous! I've also worn Angela, which was pretty also. I didn't have any application issues with any of them. If you think Nadia may be a little off for your skin tone, definitely put Adele on top. It really warms it up nicely!

This is my first post on here. Just saw on Julep's Facebook page that they just put a "Sneak Peek" of their new product. It is called DOUBLESTEP... Foot Treatment & Friction Stick. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[r4chel77]

meh. i would've liked the foot cream better. i probably won't skip depending on the polishes, but it doesn't entice me at all, even as a runner/high heel wear. it could of course be like last month where there were two items and maybe this will be like the salt spray, the secondary product, not the primary one like the body oil. actually, at first, it looked like it might be a solid makeup primer (like benefit's new one) and i was super excited for a split second before the huge let down.

i'm totally bored with this. what about you?

if you're running around in heels, these items just don't work. i get if you have super dry cracked feet, this is great for sealing in moisture.

 

[thebeverley3]

The DOUBLESTEP Foot Treatment & Friction Stick is great for runners and high heel lovers. Vitamin E and Shea Butter treats rough and dry skin. Chili pepper oil stimulates circulation and invisible formula prevents blisters. Just got my first Intro Boho Glam box last month with two nail polish add-ons. I have about every color that OPI has made, but just loved the idea of getting something like this every month. So excited to see what is coming out for August. Already addicted!!!

Just a thought, won't this make your feet slippery? Or at least a bit moist. Do you apply it before you slip into your heels/running shoes or after you are done wearing shoes & have your feet up & are relaxing?

Either ways, I just have a feeling like you're going to have to put on socks when you apply something like this. & if you're wearing socks and then exercising your feet sweat so doesn't that defeat the purpose? 

I love Julep's foot products so I'm actually kinda excited. My mom has really bad cracks on her feet and the Best Pedi Prep and the foot file have really helped heal her cracks.

I'm with you. Was surprised to see so many people excited for this product on the FB page. Maybe they know something I don't know.
