Julep August 2014

Sad that I don't like my birthstone color /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I was thinking the same thing.  Part of me wants to buy it just to have it, but I really, REALLY don't like it.  But then again, I actually hate my birthstone too, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.  I frequently say my birthday is September zero just so I can claim sapphire as my birthstone.

My birthday is January 21st, so I claim garnet *and* amethyst. Garnet = January. Amethyst = Aquarian. As an added bonus, there is such a thing as *green* garnets. Sometimes you can find an acceptable your-birthstone-here if you dig into alternate colors for it (blue topaz! Uncolored sapphires!).

I hate my namesake's polish (Laura) but I had to get it at the last sale just to have it lol, No way I'm getting this polish though /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I don't think there are any variations to Peridot The other August "birthstone" that you could maybe back fall on (Sardonyx) is even worse lol.

@ I am way excited for that one too!!!!!

I couldn't pass up the free box deal. That will put me at 6700 Jules! Plus, I've been wanting the manicure set forever and I have also been curious about the Luxe Care Hand Creme and Glycolic Scrub.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I love the Glycolic Scrub.  I just bought a full size recently.

I'm October as well. I can't wait to see what they do with Opal.

I ordered Dream too!  I haven't used it yet but I did swatch it and it looks so so beautiful

FYI - I figured this out via playing with swatching: if you have Zoya Aurora and layer it with Zoya Katherine you get Zoya Payton /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I have Aurora and Payton so I kinda wish I would have known that in advance, but they are all gorgeous nonetheless.

I have Aurora - it is so pretty too!  This is a good tip- thanks so much.  I am wearing Gilda today it is gorgeous.  It is a deep pink jelly with purple and pnk (or is it red/coral/orange) shimmer in it.  Not my hand props to Never without polish blog.

I love the peridot polish ... so pretty. So, I ended up getting Claudia and the freshenup toolkit and the mask trio ... plus using polishperk I got a non secret store polish for free. Trying to talk myself out of feeling guilty for spending way too much on julep again this month. But, the 2000 additional Jules will give me enough to get either 2 boxes and 1 addon or 1 polish lovers upgrade for free ... after which I'm planning to cancel Julep simply because I have no discipline when it comes to them. Sighs.

I have a new sub coupon code if anyone wants it, just PM me.  It expires 7/31 and I'm not going to use it so someone else might as well!

 

[Lumaday]

I'm kind of tempted to do a secret store order for the $50 to get a box free one month but don't think I'm going to.  I just did a Pinterest board of all my nail polishes so they are easy for me to see all in one place and I've got 285 pins with only a few doubles (top coats over diff polishes or with/without flash).  That's doesn't include the set of 9 on the way from the Polish Upgrade.  I didn't realize I had so many!  I think I need to lay off the polish buying for a while /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That's a great idea a to keep track of stuff

I'm sure it's gone by now, but I am still curious, what is a new sub coupon code? A free polish? My sub is over a year old, and I don't recall getting a special coupon code with my first box.

It's the 50% off code you get in your first box.  It's good for everything except for Savvy Deals and Secret Shop but it does work on the 'add-on' items they offer you before you check out.

Edit: No one has PM'd me yet, it's still up for grabs...  It's a one-time use code.

It took a while to get it together but I'm really happy I made it.  It's nice to glance through and see pictures instead of going through each of my swatch wheels.

Same and same. I want to take advantage of sales, but I'm getting a little Julep'ed out. By which I mean I just want to sit here and paint my nails and not pay attention to whatever sales or mystery boxes or new polishes are coming out. Julep feels like a needy friend sometimes.

My box still has not shipped....lame. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Got a shipping notice yesterday. Was surprised to see it was FedEx. Still waffling on the secret store order/promo. I was waiting to get paid and then also stuff I had in my cart kept getting sold out and with each item that had to be replaced, it seemed less and less worth it. The only reason I'm even considering it still is because I'd like to get one more free box during my birthday month.

I'm still waiting on my box to ship as well. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[autopilot]

No shipping notice here either. Sad to know that my next Ipsybag will be here at least a week before my Julep box.

I bought Queen Anne from the secret store and several things off my wishlist with the POLISHPERK code and I got shipping notices for both orders...although it looked like they were still using DHL so I didn't even track it yet since I expect it might take a while.
