(Spoilers) Julep November 2013

[Generalissima]

Just tried Anastasia's product for first time over my fav Bobbie brown mascara and it worked so well I will never go back to buying waterproof mascaras!

Yay!!! So glad you liked it btw based off your screen name are you a longhorn? If so awesome

 

[athenatree]

I thought about getting something this month, but couldn't really find a set that I was totally in love with.  One of these days I will surprise myself and not skip a month.

I am a Longhorn! Hook 'em! Are you a fan?

So I went back and skipped.   I am betting I can get a better deal on the Nic, Shelia, and Lola. And I bet they do a lip gloss set.

Hello to all the new people I see! Finally caught up on the November thread ... I sure don't see the love for Julep that I saw when I first started. It does feel like most of the time, once the initial rush of collecting colors is over, that they are duping themselves over and over. However, I didn't want to skip. I want my nail polish "fix" EACH month. But it is getting tougher and tougher to get the colors I really, really want without getting colors I DON'T WANT. And I have such a hard time with the girls' names for the polish. I think I use word association to learn colors. And though I have learned Sheila and Cynthia's names from reading through the threads, I was not that aware of which names went with which colors, except maybe Aisha (which I made a point to remember when I added it on). And Autumn is just too perfect a girls' name for THAT glitter! And, yes, Julep does GREAT glitters! Now I have to go back and make sure I saved my selections and figure out which color is Winter that several of you have mentioned....off to Julep's site! 

 

[tulosai]

Bombshell for me.  Caved and added Autumn and Cynthia as well.  Also really liked the red, but I have too much red to justify it.

 

[Hipster]

Hmmm... tough call. I was *thisclose* to going with Bombshell, but then I remembered I have something verrrrry similar to Nic - China Glaze Velvet Bow. And I'm certain it'll be a dupe. Thoughts??

 

[AtomicBunny]

I actually don't want to skip this month but I probably will because of other financial obligations. I really like CWaT box but i'm trying to tell myself i already have a bunch of reds and Cynthia looks like a glitter version of Ginger which i like but already have.

Me too. I figure I can save my points for next month and hopefully good holiday colors.

Hello Ladies. I've been reading this group for awhile, and a maven since March so i decided to join This group today

I haven't made a decision yet about this collection. I'm CWaT and feel like I have a bunch of these colors already, but they look so pretty. I feel like I should wait and see what comes for holiday, but I want new colors. *end of pouting*

 

[saarahsmiles]

Hmmm, I also haven't decided if I should get this month. What I think I'll do is skip and wait for November/December and get the upgrade. I'm mostly thinking stocking stuffers for my besties

I was thinking I was going to upgrade and use the extras for stocking stuffers but then I realized that I have got a couple more things that I am planning to buy that will do the same things.

I'm kind of ho-hum on the selections this month. Like a lot of people have said, I feel like we're getting the same colors over and over. I tried the Modern Beauty Box and added Brielle, the orange creme, but to be honest, I have a hunch I'll go back and skip. I wish they would just let us pick only an add-on instead of a whole box. Brielle is the only color I have the slightest interest in this month. 

 

[Lolo22]

To me, Autumn looks like Jane with red glitter added.  It's beautiful, but I cant justify it as an add-on.

 

[Moonittude]

I had a moment of sanity and skipped. We'll see if I waver or regret.

 

[Alicia Loves]

I got my spooky set order today and it came with a few extras...candy corn, Halloween nail stickers, and a DIY cabochan ring that you paint with your favorite Julep color. I thought they were cute little unexpected extras. My ring is broken but nothing a little super glue won't fix.





I saw a post of someone who made it look like the picture below using a combo of colors. I'm thinking of giving it to my crafty niece to play with who will probably turn it into something purple and sparkly. Adorable extras Julep!

I usually get the "IT GIRL" but I am not interested in a Navy Blue satin or light grey creme. I have both of these colors already and am not interested in a Satin finish. The brownish metalic color was pretty but not worth getting the set for just that one. So I switched to BoHo and looking forward to trying that berry color. I already have the cream color from OPI but I love it and want to try the Julep formula. Overall was not impressed with the selections this month but am getting a box so I can get next months, which will be my third month and get the free polish. I may cancel or hold for a while after December though. I can only go thru so much polish for now.

Julep posted on Facebook a few minutes ago that Daring, the red gloss is now available as an add-on.

 

[luckyme502]

I am completely undecided. It's a good thing I have a couple days.

I think Autumn is chunkier and more multidimensional than Jane. I love the way Autumn looks. I reminds me more of Valentines day than it does fall probably because I don't really notice any oranges or browns in the swatches but I see a lot of pink, red, and golden hues.
