Julep September 2013 (Spoilers)

[saarahsmiles]

I love cleansing oil, I have oily to normal skin and it is amazing in taking off makeup and not leaving my skin oily.  Although, I'm kinda bummed that I just bought some from Bobbie Brown last week when I ran out.

I've never tried the Josie Maran oil, but I've hear a lot of good things about it.  The Indie Lee sample was really tiny so I only got about 3 uses out of it but I liked a lot, very moisturizing.  My skin is super dry so I think oil cleansers are right up my alley.  I actually didnt know the "right" way to use these oils until I watched this video lol.  I had been just slathering it on my Clarisonic, but after watching this I tried rubbing it in without water, and it actually sort of lathered.

I hope that the oil is the product in all the boxes instead of just Modern Beauty.  I'm sort of worried that after that survey they had to vote for an old product to be in our Sept. boxes that the drops (if they are still winning) will be in the polish boxes, but that would be really backwards to me.  But, hey it seems like Julep is kind of backwards lately so I would not be all that surprised. I would not want to get a box with the cleansing oil and quick dry drops in it and definitely would not want to pay $15 to get the oil as an add-on.  Hopefully they get it right and put it in all of the boxes.

I want a box with the cleansing oil, a copper shimmer and an emerald green glitter....are you listening, Julep???? Please, please

Wow, that sounded very confusing. I can understand where you're coming from. I ought go check out that video and see what's the hype about on cleansing oil. That's a great advice on Indie Lee cleansing oil. You know, I have a pinterest acct. and she follows me. She had repinned a couple of posts from my acct. I haven't been on pinterest for a wihle (my toddler is home for summer and she goes back to school in a week and half.) I've been meaning wanting to talk to her for some time because I have her facial oil that came out two years ago (I know it's old and expired but I kept it in a cool place so I wanted to ask if it's still good or not) I think I got it from hautelook.

Now, I just finished watching a video on Cleansing oil. I'm skeptical. First of all, I've used a couple of cleansing oils and I cannot use it to wash off eye make up because for some reason; no matter what how much I remove it or clean it out; when I wake up in the morning, my eyes fogged up from residues of cleansing oil. I keep strictly to Kiehl's eye make up remover which is more lotion kind and always clears away that I don't end up getting foggy eyes. 

The exfoliate pad looks really scary. It looks like real hard rock. I know it should not be used scrub hard; gently. It's hard for me to be patient enough to spend a certain amt. of time gently rubbing away eye make up to remove... It looks promising.

Sorry you felt bad yesterday, swimsalot...I noticed that you haven't been around last day or two. Hope you are feeling better now. Did you find it on Julep's site anywhere?

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.

Sounds wonderful ... I only have one nephew and my husband and I only have one son, so I was happy when my DIL came along.

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

I did GRIN VERY BIG when she started that spill, Kyuu! LOL!!!

Same here, jrenee...I joined Julep for the polish and it comes first with me ... great collection equals SOLD! I realize they are trying to expand their line into other beauty products, but they are definitely haing some hit-and-miss months with the beauty products.

Who knows, saarahsmiles, maybe Julep's will be better and we will all fall in love with it and have to order it month after month!!!

 

[angismith]

Oh, no! I had not considered that they might make the sponge the second beauty item .... but DEFINITELY a possibility after August's masks trio.

Also, just a thought ... did anybody fall in love with DoubleStep? The friction stick if you have already forgotten ... I opened my the day I got it and haven't looked at it since. And I never heard ANYBODY mention using the masks .....

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.

DHC's cleansing oil is my holy grail, I've been using it for about 6 years now.  It removes makeup easily and gently, including mascara. 

My night time cleansing regimen is two part - the cleansing oil followed by a foaming cleanser using my Clarisonic.  I've got oily skin and it works perfect for me.  I'd definitely enjoy trying Julep's version.

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've got super oily skin and cleansing oil works fantastic on it!  It's counterintuitive, but water emollient oils do a great job of removing oil and makeup without stripping skin.

Haha, thanks for backing me up, Lulubelle.  It really does sound weird unless you've tried it, but cleansing oil is da bomb for oily skin.

I've read that one of the reasons skin gets oily is because we try to remove the oil and that overstrips it, thereby stimulating it to produce more oil.  If you cleanse it with something that preserves the appropriate balance, though, your skin doesn't over-react and make more grease.  Whether that's the reason or not, I can say from experience that it works!

Lulubelle, how do your eyes feel after using the oil on mascara? I have tried everything, even Clinique's, and everything makes my eyes feel yucky the next morning.

I can't remember where ... probably Allure since I recently resubscribed to them after many years away ... but I just read an article in the last 6 weeks that talked about how oil cleans oily skin much better than creams and lotions. It explained the science of it, but darned if I can remember the specifics. I used to have an oily T-zone, but now it just normal and my cheeks which used to be normal are dry now.
