Yes I only use it with essie polishes for that reason but that sounds extreme (the next morning thing).  Usually if I let it set, for real, doing nothing, for 20 minutes it is fine.  It i always fascinating to me how different people have different reactions to the same polishes. You'd think all nails would be created equal

That's correct, @stephstrong!  My thought is that Julep is *trying* to make improvements which is why they sent the follow-up message to begin with.  They did respond to my email feedback yesterday with some encouraging news:

"We have switched to a new email platform and some email accounts are making sure that we are a credible address. We sincerely apologize if this has effected you in anyway. Our Marketing team is working hard to improve this for our customers."

Okay, so I changed my mind again and upgraded, but just with the one lip gloss, I chose the upgrade with the Charming lip gloss.

I had settled on It Girl with Cynthia and Autumn, but the more I think about it, the closer I am to just skipping.  I have *epic* amounts of polish, I won't skip Square Hue, and I've signed up for Scratch nail wraps starting with November's box.  Eh, officially skipping Julep.  If I'm *this* ambivalent about it, I shouldn't get it.

When do the skipping offers usually go out? Since it looks like a lot of people skipped there might be some good deals to be had.

 

[luckyme502]

So, I went back and forth a few times with my selection for November, and now I have three separate confirmation emails. There is no way they would charge me three times, right?

The latest confirmation you receive -- no matter how many times you change things around -- replaces the previous one every time.  You could change fifteen times and get fifteen confirmations, but unless something goes inexplicably and epically wrong, you should only end up with one charge.

Thanks.

Totally off topic, but does anyone know what became of the Mint Condition Pedi Creme?

It was discontinued since it was under the old look.

This, right?

Thanks for letting me know!

I skipped because I was only interested in Cynthia and Autumn and they will probably offer it cheaper later on. Also the lip gloss described as black honey made me think of Clinique black honey.

PLEASE let us know how you like scratch! I've been thinking about getting it, but, like you, I have a butt ton of polish. I've only used ncla nail wraps, but I love them. I have some incoco to try.

I went back and skipped. I haven't been too impressed lately and I'm not at all feeling the lip gloss/plumper/primer hootenanny. I would have gone for a fun lip butter or something like an all over color stick. It seems like every sub is throwing lip gloss at us this month.

Man, I got my "so you skipped" email. I am underwhelmed. Three sets all at 19.99. The cleanser and sponge, the rock star hand cream, top coat and oxygen treatment and Valerie, Cleopatra, and Missy

 

[LuckyMoon]

It was really hard for me to skip this month.  Nail polish and lip products are my favorite things.  Plus, I would have gotten the free polish for taking a box 3 months in a row.  

But, I skipped...and actually I'm glad.

Lol, and those are all available to any of us on the "Maven Exclusives" area of the shop, I just saw those earlier today.

I also ended up skipping. It was a little tough since there were a few colors I'd fallen in love with after a few days of staring at them (Autumn, Cynthia, and Aisha), but I'm still thinking I'll be able to get them at a decent price in the future. Plus it'll be good to wait for blogger swatches. And, more money to spend in December! 

I was really disappointed with the skip options too. I would be tempted by the one with October's most popular colors if I hadn't already gotten Missy in my box. Oh well...

Actually I was talking about the newer one that was only available with Intro Boxes for a while. Blue tube with white letters.

I was at sephora this afternoon ans there were several holiday sets. I restrained myself from picking up one of them.
