I will test the cleanser on my cheek tonight to see if I have a reaction.
I really wish vivien would come in stock. It would go great with my fall cremes.

Did I miss if we determined whether Padma is really a creme (like the description) or a shimmer( like the swatches)??

 
I got my box today and was pleasantly surprised.  Of course, using Jules and only paying for add-ons does that.

I love the non-cremes this month.

I received Padma in my box.  Although I have not swatched it yet, it looks shimmery to me.  I am a bit disappointed since I have an almost exclusive relationship with creams, I'm not sure if my Padma will ever get much love.

It has a very fine shimmer to it, very subtle. I am not sure how it will show on the nail.

I think I'll try this out and use the oil at night before the clarisonic. Thanks for the tip! I'm going to buy Ally in the secret store since it was sold out for so long when I tried to get it in the last sale. Does anyone have the glycolic scrub? Does it make your hands softer?
Alicia, I have the glycolic scrub and I LOVE it ... helps exfoliate skin on my hans in a refreshing way.

I love Faye! Try it with Adele on top if you have it...so pretty...
Good idea ... I do, indeed, have Adele!

Thanks for the tip.  I will definitely see what happens when I use some toner.

Thanks!  I got Reece and Karmen.  They are both beautiful and I can't wait to try them.  I definitely couldn't pass up Karmen since it is my Alma Mater's colors in a bottle.

I also decided to get the Blue Crush and Orchid Magic sets from the Savvy Set sale last minute.  I realize now that I could have gotten it slightly cheaper if I had gotten Portia and Fina separately from the Blue Crush set, but at this point I'll survive the few dollars.
Hey, these sets really help build new Mavens' collections .. . and they had MOSTLY NEW sets this months .. lots of pretty pairings. I didn't partake because I ha at least one of every polish in every set. And I don't want duepes.

  I wonder if they're adding new items to the Sept. issue shop each day?  I kind of want the Coffee shop one w/Fiore & Adele, but I'm hoping they get a better GWP later in the week, like maybe a nail color.
I'm wondering if the Sept. issue shop is going to be a monthly thing? Like maybe replace the Secret Store?

 
Ahhhhh. It happened. I'm back on the Julep bandwagon. Just what my wallet needs right now, planning to move in the next month or so, but now I keep telling myself I need Juleps in every color!!!!! I traded most of my collection so I went from 80 something to 15ish, time to start hoarding all over again.

I have Sylvia on my toes right now. It's much darker than Anne; I don't know about Morgan. It's a nice deep but not black purple creme.

BTW, I'm a long time lurker and first time poster.

Roll tide! I love football season! It is a great time for hanging out with my family. My husband is a Notre Dame fan, so it was a little awkward last season...fortunately the two of us aren't crazy football fans, but my family gave him a hard time!
The first nail polish I bought when I started "collecting" was China Glaze Sea Spray. I fell in love with it!
Daria wore like iron for me- I just took it off because I wanted to try Padma, which I also love! It reminds me of the swatches I've seen if UD Vice. Vice appears to have more of a pink shimmer, but they look very close.
Got my box today ... was so let down by the colors as they swatched on my fingers! I need to remember how cool my skin is when picking colors .. tatiana was the one I was really, really looking forwar to and it s just a blah orange. Karmen was a brighter red that I expected. Candace was a much darker brown than I pictured (but I still like it). Reece had no purple tones on me, more of a grey texture. And Daria, which I got just to get Karmen, turned out to be the best formula and color on my skin. Haven't tried the cleansing oil yet, but it smells wonderful!

 Also, I don't have Barbara but I imagine it'd look pretty in a jelly sandwich.
Thanks, casualconcern. I went and looked at Annie. She does appear to be perfect with Carly, but I refuse to pay that price for a Julep polish. It will have to wait for a good discount. I added it to me wishlist. I also picked up Portia in the August30 sale. Wonder how it would look over Annie?

  I haven't gotten mine either. 
It usually takes until almost the ned of the month for the Jules to appear for the previous month's payment.

All of the colors look so rich and lovely, perfect for fall!
My box looked like Fall spilling out of the box ... but awful when I swatched them ... I will have to use them in smlall doses. Also, even though I actually like the new packagaging, I also missed my colorful sacks with ribbon tie ... always felt like a gift I gave myself. I used my gift of a makeup remover pad to hurry up and take the swatches off my fingers.

Ash, I LOVE Vivien ... I believe it may be my absolute favorite Julep (over Alaina). I can't wait to see a swatch of Padma!

  I also just checked and I haven't gotten any jules for my birthday (which is today), but I thought they did it automatically on your birthday?
alpina, go make sure your birthay is listed in your profile. If not, fill it in  and contact CS about issue. They will gladly add them on for you.

Flowerfish, you might be surprised by what a little shimmer on your nails brings to your life.
