You can definitely see the shimmer in the bottle. Julep, I don't know if creme means what you think it means... Also, I eat my words because it's a little bit cooler than a LPAD dupe, which I think is slightly more plum than this.
That is pretty similar to how Kristy (the dark blue) looks on my nails too. I'm glad I passed on Padma seeing this swatch!

Gurl, this is me all night. I can't sleep due to a horrible tooth ache and I keep looking on eBay, and Julep for more colors. Must have them all. Ouch! hope you feel better.

Okay I just put on Josephine and it's nice. It's not teal but it's a good deep grey. Overall I think this month's collection is just nice. Nothing spectacular but nice.

for whatever reason, reece is a perfect one coater of icy purple with multi-colored shimmer. it is GORGEOUS and looks exactly(!) as pictured/in the bottle when on my nails. i'm wearing it on my toes.
i'm sooo happy with the collection; i used jules and got the whole shebang. i kinda hate padma and kristy because i will never understand the point of polishes so dark they appear black. padma's shimmer and color in the bottle are nothing like on the nail; there's absolutely no shimmer and again, it appears black. kristy is the same thing but no expectation of shimmer. i wonder if padma failed and they called it a creme because it actually does apply as a creme, or maybe a really opaque jelly. i don't know.
the julep cleansing oil is amazing; i appreciate the scent and i love that it spreads without water. it's super spreadable but actually leaves my skin feeling more hydrated than before. the josie maran one definitely does not spread without the help of water and is a lot thicker but requires using a little bit less. i will save the julep one for the winter and work through the josie maran one now. another note is that it does take off makeup really welll but not completely; it removes any palpable makeup (i.e. any shadow, liner, mascara, facial makeup) but i still like to use makeup remover to get rid of the gray haze left behind as well as use my facial brush to deep clean on days i wear more makeup (i.e. real foundation as compared to tinted moisturizer).
the mattifying primer isn't the most matte in finish, actually, and there definitely are some irritants in it. it smelled pretty scary, actually, because of that, but i found it didn't really sting or anything. it's not as good at pore-refining or leaving a matte finish as benefit's porefessional, but i like it for different reasons (although i do LOVE the benefit one). essentially it's not either of those things in an extreme way, like porefessional is, but i find it spreads much more like a moisturizer and sometimes porefessional can ball up and create little peelies for me. the julep one spreads well and stays moist a bit longer before setting so i like it more under my eye than the porefessional one, since i have super dry skin and it makes blending concealer easier. i also think that the julep one actually holds makeup on my skin, serving as an actual primer, better than the benefit porefessional. i've been using the julep one in conjunction with the benefit stay flawless solid primer in a few areas where i like extra hold/smooth finish(cheeks, nose, chin, upper lip, under eyes).
i don't even have to say how absolutely lovely the rest of the collection is. they're all perfect one-two coaters. i mentioned a few days ago that i'm obsessed with catrina, josephine and candace in conjunction with one another. i did a mani after that with tatiana, candace and florence. it could be florentina; i don't rememember lol. but anyways, i wanted to review the beauty products since many of you haven't accessed those save for modern beauties/upgrades. i'd give the primer 5 stars as a primer, 4 stars as a matte-finisher, and 3 stars for pore refining. i'd give the cleanser 5 stars.

It's funny because my Konjac sponge came that way too. It was wet and kind of sudsy. Although it was only mid 70s here and I got it right after the mailman left it, it still was that way. I was worried that there was something wrong with it. I'm glad to see That it came the same way for somebody else

Sponges are typically packaged damp. That way they look more appealing and feel "spongy" to the touch rather than hard and brittle.

Is it just me or does Tin Man look like Rebel renamed?

Yep. They even describe it as holographic.

My other guesses would be:
pink: Ava http://www.julep.com/ava.html (also describes it as ballet slippers pink frost)
green: Popova http://www.julep.com/popova.html (there are a couple of emeralds, but matches most closely to the swatches)
no idea on the red. it might be a LE new release or dc.

I was leaning towards Emilie for the emerald green only because Popova is a Trina Turk shade. I totally agree with Ava and I think the red might be the only new/unique color. At least, I'm not aware of any bright red Julep glitters.

The set would have been perfect to put in one of those "150" yellows that the it girl has been getting.

you're probably right! i overlooked it. lol so many emeralds, there are actually TWO Trina Turk shades that are described as emerald.
I really woulnd't mind seeing another curated Julep collection. ngl that would be pretty cool
