Julep September 2013 (Spoilers)

[jessicalriley]

Oh sorry.  

  Hope that wasn't rude.  I just have a cleanser I love and am not switching it up. 

I don't have one that I'm in love with, so I'd be open to trying it. I kinda like that they are sticking their toes in the skincare pool, but I don't think there is going to be one cleanser that works for all skin types. Skin care is not a one-size-fits-all type of business.

I LIKE IT! What I don't like is that I am a Julep Maven and somehow this link is out there on YouTube and Julep didn't direct me to it ... wels5711 did! Thank you for the sneak peek, I am pretty sure you are right. But if I don't switch boxes from It Girl and it is the beauty product, I won't have access to it unless I upgrade or buy it in the Secret Store.

Same here, Jessica ... I don't have one that I am in love with. Years ago, I used Pond's Cold Cream religiously. Did you notice she took off her mascara, too? I have a terrible time finding an eye remover product that does not cause puffy, itchy eyes the next morning.

Yikes I don't know if I want to wash my oily face with more oil. I don't see that working out well. I'd give it a shot but I love my black soap. I really like juleps simple packaging! I also love that they're trying new things! Far better than a foot stick. Maybe I'll use it in the winter at night. It looks like it removes makeup fairly well at least.

I am kicking myself so hard for wasting my Beauty Bio code on one polish. I used it right away before I knew it was more than just 50% off ONE polish. Sigh. Definitely saving future codes for better usage in the future.

I'd bet some money that the cult product the woman in the video mentions (that this new Julep oil cleanser is based on) is the DHC cleansing oil.  I have oily skin, and I have tried DHC's cleansing oil, and it's actually pretty nice.  It really does work the way the video describes: it cleans your skin and leaves it feeling soft, smooth, not oily, and not tight.  

I would definitely be open to getting this new product in my Maven box, depending on whether or not I like any of the polishes on offer.

I'm actually intrigued by this product (lol terrible skin forever u__u) so I'm excited for next month. Who wants to bet that the sponge is an extra item we'd have to pay for and not in any boxes, including the upgrade?? 

Additionally, I really liked the video too. She seemed weirdly genuine about the product, and it was kind of... charming? Like, she obviously likes it which is why she's a good person to tell us about it, but also she wasn't like "This is the Best Thing You'll Ever Use Ever Ever". She mostly just told us about the product and why she liked it. BB ladies can take a few tips

You're completely right about that, Kyuu.  It was just one big advertisement, but I liked her and her approach to talking about the product, so I didn't mind!

Julep posted on their FB announcing something surprise will be revealed tomorrow. Any guess?!

Yay!!! I was feeling ill today so I need a lite surprise to cheer me up. I'm still up at midnight I'm going to login and see if I can find it.

 

[chelsealady]

Chelsea, I don't know if you are lucky or unlucky to have 5 teen nieces! I bet they raid your stash all the time!!! And I bet you all have a great time when they do!

What stash???? About this time of the month I get the "have all of your boxes come in yet text." With two of them blue eyes blonds and two brown eyes brunettes and a hazel eyes red head. There is nothing that goes to waste in any of my subs.

omg! i'm so excited about the cleansing oil.

technically i have an almost full one by josie maran and i love it. i sort of love the nude skincare line's oil more. i definitely plan on getting this!

what everyone should know is that cleansing oils take forever to use up, so if this is half the box, it is WELL WORTH THE MONEY. my josie maran one was $30 and i've owned it since may. i use it at least once a day and it only looks like maybe several tablespoons are missing. definitely a sixth or seventh of the bottle.

!!!! so exicted! i was worried because i get excited every month and then sometimes the collection just isn't appealing at all. woohoo! okay i will stop with my exclamation points.... !!!! 

also, i think cleansing oil is the perfect product for a universal box item because it works on everyone from dry skin to oily skin. if you have oily skin, using an oil regimen will actually help your skin to stop the overproduction of sebum (your own oil). i have super thirsty skin (argan oil/tartes maracuja oil and nude skincare replenish moisturizer as well as boots luminating with spf moisturizer are the only items good enough) and the oily cleanser is the only thing gentle enough for me. it's not that i have sensitive skin but my face feels awful and irritated without heavy moisturizer. put simply, most people's heavy duty moisturizers are not enough for my daily moisturizer. some overnight hydration masks upset my skin.

lol anyways, thanks for the post!

Just joined Julep. Received the It Girl starting package. WOW!

I'm looking forward to the cleansing oil. I just finished an Indie Lee cleansing oil sample from Beauty Army and I liked it, other than that I've never tried a cleansing oil. I go through cleansers and moisturizers faster than anything else so it would be really useful too. Really, reeeeeeeally hoping the colors will be good too!

Oh!!! How was that? How is compared to Josie Maran's cleansing oil if you ever tried that? I LOVE it! But never had Indie Lee's. I cancelled Beauty Army months ago.

Did anyone else laugh when she was like, What makes our sponge special is that there's a string attached and you can hang it up! At first I was like pfffft that's a stupid addition, but actually the way she described actually shows that she's used the product and that'd be something someone who used the product might wish for. I'm glad it wasn't like "this sponge is specialer than all the other sponges of the same type because it's wrapped in the hide of baby seals and was soaked in the tears of virgin mermaids before we shipped it off to you." No. LOL, it's a simple addition -- they might be overcharging for it too -- but it seems like a good addition

YES!!!! LOL! I thought I was the only one that found that super comical. I'm excited to see the collection now that I know one of the possible products is pretty good. I wonder what the other one is. I don't really care about the sponge but if it comes with the cleanser I'll take it! It better not be the second beauty item. That would suck big time!

my thoughts exactly! i would like the sponge to come with the oil and not be the other item.

it IS convenient that the sponge can be hung up; it really is. i've never seen a sponge that can (besides your regular pouf one in the shower) and i've never seen a facial sponge. this could be a great daily alternative to the olay brush cleanser/clarisonic. i'm currently using the olay and the sephora six dollar manual one for daily cleansing. anyways, while it is novel and pretty cool and i might fall in love with it, i'm still hoping for another great item, and the way it was mentioned was funny (although there is no un-funny way to talk about hanging up a sponge).

Cookie's String of Thoughts: It's the 16th....Julep will be previewing soon.....wow, that seems fast....there should be a thread for this.....aha, there it is....ALL EIGHT PAGES OF IT ALREADY! LOL I'm so behind!

I love cleansers and I love oils... too much so... Currently I have Boscia and Josie Maran, but nowhere near actually trying them.  I'm still working on finishing 3 cleansers - Lancome, MAC, and Organix.  This is definitely a temptation, but I have to like the polishes in order for me to get it!
