Ugh, it's too bad it's $13.99. I'd like to try it, but that's just too much since I don't know the quality and texture of the gloss. I can buy a premium brand for not much more and know what I'm getting. <waiting on a sale>

Also, did anyone open the lip gloss photo swatches? Like full sized? Holy cow, photoshop much. The gloss is floating over the mouth.

Really??? That pisses me off, I thought they looked pretty pigmented for how "sheer" they were supposed to be...why is it so difficult to do a real swatch I don't get it???!!

Yeah, it was painfully clear it was photoshopped when they had the animated .gif in the preview email for the lip gloss. I also wish they would show swatches where there wasn't all that "lens flare" on the nail, which detracts from the swatch itself.

Also, if you add it, there's a note : Boxes shipping with Daring may be delayed.

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

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.

Hmmm I think you're right and I think once we see swatches (real ones) they will look a lot more red than their pics.

@Alicia Loves I got the ring months ago and loved it! It's really cute, but sadly seems to have disappeared.

Despite some issues with shipping and photoshopping, Julep seems to have the most well-curated boxes and professional, modern advertising and stuff. Also they seem to be the most mature. I also appreciate the fact that they have and actual phone number...where you can talk to a real person (at least I think they have been real, perhaps they are photoshopped). /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I skipped. I ended up throwing away the last lipgloss because it leaked like crazy. Like the brush would force air in and it would start oozing out lipgloss over time. I went on a trip and left most my makeup came back 10 days later to a huge mess in my makeup bag. I ended up having to clean up everything in my makeup bag with wipes it was so sticky.

I liked the boho glam purple color and will probably buy it if they have a deal on it.

I skipped. I figure if I was hemming and hawing it wasn't really meant to be. 

 

[jesemiaud]

Another easy skip. I really did like the cocoa shimmer from It girl, but not the other two colors. Not interested in gloss at all. I did like Cynthia, but it seems like it would be a close dupe to a couple of other shades I have. Sigh...Julep just doesn't want my money.

I think even the shine on the nails is photoshopped! It is wwwaaaay too perfect.

I agree; I just wish they would improve their email/SMS marketing communications. Ironically, I actually received an email from Julep today saying they tried to send me the selection window email yesterday and it bounced, so they thought they would send me ANOTHER email letting me know that the selection window was open...I was thinking, if the first message bounced (which it actually didn't), why are you sending me another email?? That is one of the reasons email senders get put on blocked lists - when they keep sending to bad addresses! But the sad part is, my email address is not bad. Anyway, I sent them some suggestions for cleaning up their data and doing some email testing to see where they are having delivery issues.

Ick, get ready for another round of shipping hell with all subs: I just remembered that Mercury is in retrograde again. That wreaks ninety kinds of havoc with communications, computers, transportation, and shipping.

That must be why my order from last Tuesday hasn't left WA yet!

I got that email too!! I wonder how many others did?? Also, if the first email bounced back wouldn't the email address be bad making any further emails sent to that address bounce back too or am I wrong??

When I was looking up what to do with the ring I noticed they've given them out a few times before. It's a really cute concept! I always eat the candy corn right away which is bizarre because I hate candy corn. If it's sitting in front of me I can't help it. It looks so colorful like it should be tasty but nope still hate it lol

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

Pretty much! I'm glad I'm not the only one who's into astrology. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I also got that email! I had received the email the first time and even logged in and made my selections. It's ironic because most of the time I do not receive emails from Julep and just get info from here, this was one of the first times I actually did receive an email and I got a follow up email apologizing that I did not get the initial email... LOL.
