I didn't look to close because I was distracted by the super shiney Nail Inc. Sets. But there were a couple of different six polish sets that I don't see online. And a several treatment sets that are showing online. There was a real pretty green but I had just picked up a zoya green that I want to look at first.

I was just looking around on the julep site and saw the wizard of oz set will the available to purchase on the site soon.

It was discontinued since it was under the old look.

This, right?


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 wondering that too.  I was interested in it.

It is a 12 count mini set in a silver glitter colored box. If you look at it online you can't tell how much it sparkles. But I didn't get it either. I had my heart set on the Deborah Lippman set which they didn't have.

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

I was disappointed that they didn't offer any of the colors from this collection like they normally do.

I know, right?

Maybe they will after the Maven boxes are sent out.

I thought some people were upset last month that Casper was in the skip offers, when there were people who bought boxes just to get that polish.  Maybe they are responding to that.  From a marketing perspective, it certainly make sense for Julep to change things so that there's more incentive to buy a box as opposed to waiting to see if there's a better combination if you skip.

That's true. I was just hoping they would do it again. Lol

Wait so if you choose to skip a month they give you other "special" options of polish to buy???

Sort of... they sometimes send emails with other offers, but this month's offers kind of suck and are not exclusive either. In the past they've had some almost "secret store-like" offers.

Maybe they are learning, like others have said, that by doing that, people are skipping in order to wait for something better. Not a great incentive to take your box.

This was my first month to skip since I joined. There really weren't any combos that were good for me, so I was looking forward to the offers for skippers. Normally I would go for the modern beauty and add on the polishes I like, but since I really didn't want the nude gloss, I ultimately skipped. I'm sure they will have a few sets of the new colors available later in the month!

I'm wondering how far Julep's social media stretch is supposed to go. Whenever I see reviews about the company (as a corporate view) they're always talking about the success from their ability to brand through social media and shift with the market demand.

As in, basically, I'm wondering if they also track forums/topics like MuT (or Julep resell/trade) where there's a high traffic and discussion about their products that aren't necessarily presented right in front of them.

I think they are just referring to Facebook, twitter, and pinterest maybe Google plus and other smaller social media sites.

Yes, but for a company that's supposed to be social media savvy, I think it's hard to say they aren't aware other places of discussion? People on reddit are going to talk no matter what... maybe Julep doesn't think it pertains to them if the comments are not being presented directly to them. Who knows.

FWIW, I'm a member of a very large, well known music forum, and it's a pretty accepted and known fact that the major record labels as well as artists, lurk on there to gauge fan feedback. I'd be willing to bet Julep does the same. It's good business.

I bet they at least lurk around. But I wonder if they take into account that the people on MUT are a little more savy than the average consumer.

Got this email from Julep just now:

Isn't that Lola (the new blue satin color)?  Didn't see it listed on sale though.  There are a few I've been wanting listed though... like Char and Fiore.

Here's the link if anyone needs it:  http://www.julep.com/play-in-the-dark.html?campaign_id=7858808-102860919-email-TLP&utm_campaign=131026_play-in-the-dark&utm_content=hero&utm_medium=email&utm_source=exacttarget
