I'm one of those people. In my case it's letting me keep Rae, which is now sold out, and it will not let me add Lilou which is not sold out.

To be honest, I'm with your mom. I hear about this Pantone stuff and I really don't get it.

Uh Huh Her
Pantone is basically the industry (and "industry" here means color in general, not just makeup) standard for color, so they are important for on-trend color (towels, paint, kitchen utensils, storage bins, makeup -- Radiant Orchid is one specific shade that *if used correctly* is exactly the same shade *everywhere*) and (here's the big thing) shade consistency. You can say "TARDIS blue," and there will be many different variations of it, but then you say "Pantone 2955C" (the official BBC shade for TARDIS blue), and there is *one* shade. If they say something is the color of the year, you can coordinate colors more readily because everyone will be putting out things in that color or things that will coordinate with it. I got excited over Emerald last year because I love green, and I'm thrilled with Radiant Orchid because it will look fantastic with all of the Emerald I picked up last year.
Haha it's true though! I don't see why Julep & all these other beauty companies feel the need to kiss Pantone's ass & make a ton of cosmetics under whatever color they pick. & maybe it's the nonconformist in me, but whenever the "color of the year" comes out I stay away from it haha. I did that with emerald, & I'm doing it with radiant orchid too.
Hmm well that makes a lot of sense now. Thank you.
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It's probably just me but I don't see much in dedicating 1 color to 1 year & so forth. But aye I'm never really on trend anyway! xD & if Pantone is making a fortune off of it & everybody else is into it, I guess it's no longer my place to judge them. Keep doing what you do Pantone.

I love them, but I just own so many similar colors! It seems to me that's the common sentiment since many of us already own quite a bit of polish /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Great suggestion! Another close match might be Anita from the Julep Resort Collection minis that came out in January. I just swatched the bottle and it seems like a good option!For anyone who wanted Rae and couldn't grab it, I was just browsing Pointless Cafe and tenoverten's Elizabeth, which doesn't seem like a dupe necessarily, seems like a better match (imo) for Radiant Orchid:http://www.pointlesscafe.com/2014/02/ten-over-ten-elizabeth-and-wall-st.html#more

I called Julep today and they were able to edit my box so that I kept Rae, and dropped the add on I couldn't for the life of me drop. It sucks that you have to call, but it was quick and painless, but make sure you do it by tomorrow b/c they're not open on Sunday (they are on Saturday) so you'll be stuck with whatever you have.

You can actually edit your box online without any issue until the end of the signup window. If you can't for some reason, you should definitely call them again to fix that for you. I usually flip flop at least 2 times during the signup window.

Yeah usually you can do that, but for those of us who had Rae or Monaco as add-ons, you couldn't edit your box without the website freaking out and saying that "one of your add ons is sold out" - even though you wanted to KEEP that sold out add on and had added it before it sold out. So the result was that you could never edit your box. You were stuck with it. It's only this month that I've seen a lot of people have that same problem.

You can't if one of your add ons is sold out.

I am not very impressed with the colors this month. I was not grandfathered into skips and I'm on the new program. I think I might cancel. I wish Julep would let us pick what colors we want in a box. Right now I have tentatively picked Bombshell but I am not liking that Lemon Chiffon shade, so it sucks getting stuck with a polish you don't particularly like.

Quote: Looks like Julep will be ending the free polish code after 3 boxes once this month's selection window is complete. Received the following email from Julep CS, in response to my inquiry :This is the last month that we will be doing the Free polish with the 3 months of accepting your boxes. If by the April Maven window you do not get that code in your email, please feel free to reach out to us at the Maven Experience Team, we are more than happy to help you track that down or help you place an order for a free polish. The codes don't get sent out until all the rounds of processing for the March box are complete.
In case that was a draw to get this month's box....

Well that sucks.
So Julep's ended their free polish code, the ability to skip, the prizes for the My Maven contests (and the contests themselves), the extra special Maven prizes, the special mystery boxes, and they've drastically reduced the quality of the mystery boxes.
Um.
If they're gonna take away all the perks of being a maven, they better give us something in return, like the ability to pick our own color combos.
It sounds like Julep got too big, too fast, just like Bondi, and this is what happens.

Luckily this is my third. I'll get my code and grab one of this month's polishes I couldn't add on because I already have 3 add ons.

So really....there's no incentive now to take your box, now that they're not giving away the free polish codes anymore.

That's it then, I am skipping. The only reason I was going to get my box was to get closer to my 3 months, but now there is no incentive and I got a big order from their savvy deals coming my way anyway so no big deal. Plus the BOHO GLAM box was somewhat of a dupe for me. I need to start seeing some reason to take my box Julep! Give me some perks please!!!!
