I think it's trademarked as *a name*.  And thus Julep gets around by using the phrase as *a description*.  Ooh, wait, according to Trademarkia, it's an abandoned trademark as of 4/26/2007.  Per Markhound and a trademark law firm, Clinique/Estee Lauder specifically filed documentation abandoning it on that date.  So it looks like they *did* trademark it, but not any more.

The Freedom top coat is on sale for 12.60 I've personally don't remember ever seen it that cheap... So I used my code from the 3 boxes in a row thing and ended up only paying 1.40$! which im really glad since I've never used the freedom top coat before and I've heard lots of mixed reviews on it so I was always unsure about it. Now even if it doesn't work out for me at least I only paid 1.40.. feels like a little triumph to me lol

The geek in me got Autumn so I can doing fire-y nails for the Catching Fire premiere... not that I plan my nails around movies I'm going to see. That would be weird.
I know, right? It would so weird to be practicing drawing hammers and lightning on a nail wheel for the Thor 2 premiere...

I mean. Um. 

(Autumn will work for that, too, I think. I hope.

Yeah, that's *really* weird.  I'll just be over here sorting through my GDE Super Shadows planning my eyes for _Thor_, _Captain America_, and _X-Men: Days of Future Past_.  Wait.  What?

One thing that I noticed about Julep's email system was that if you checked "not enough room in my budget" as a reason for skipping you didn't get the "we saw you skipped, how about this" email -- which I both liked and didn't like. (partially because when I said "not enough room" it meant "I would have chosen a box if the colors were sorted differently (ie less yellow in It Girl)" So if you like the "we saw you skipped" email, probably don't say "no room in budget"

FWIW, I absolutely hated (which ever month it was that the sea salt hair product was in) where the we saw you skipped got better color combos so I'm kind of glad they kept it away from the current month's colors this month

I was wondering what happened to those emails for the past few months.

Nice deal! It's a really nice topcoat /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I love that I was able to get the Ultimate Zig Zag box with 30% off!  Well worth it--especially since there are already reviews and pictures of the box posted!  I tend to only order when there is a 30% or better coupon code from Julep.  I think they might not love me because I never take my box, but am always happy to buy when I see a great code on here.

I am not sure if it is trademarked but I know that when people hear black honey they think of Clinique. I think Julep just wanted customers to associate it with the Clinique product.

I never get Julep emails any more I have written to them and the issue is still not fixed.

Same here!

Confusing ,isn't it?  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I've posted about this before so apologies to those who have already read this but I think it's helpful to understand.  It's because email service providers have their own spam protection systems in place.  So if an email looks suspicious (even if it really is harmless, like Julep's are), or if a sender has a bad sending reputation (they have sent lots of emails to bad addresses, so a lot of their messages bounce on a regular basis), email service providers may block some or all of the emails from ever even getting to your Inbox (or even to your Junk mail folder) because their messages get triggered as "Spam."  I think this is precisely why Julep has been having issues and why we sometimes get their emails and then we don't get others.  Plus, they just switched from MailChimp to Emma for email service, too - so it's going to take a while for their IP address to be recognized as a "safe" sender with some email service providers. Also, I should clarify that I did not get any email for the First20 promo - I just saw other MUTers posting about it.  I'm not sure where that one started!  

Same here!

Hope this helps /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Say what! I wonder what they will do.  I'm getting a custom rack for Christmas but it will still leave me with about 25-50 polish that won't fit.

Does anyone know what the trick or treat was for today. I cannot see them without a Facebook login and I would love if someone could keep us updated. (She begs on bended knee)

I just received an email from Julep with my code for a free polish for taking my box 3 months in a row. I have been waiting for this glorious moment... If only I could decide which polish to pick!

Big snooze fest for me. I was hoping for a discount. Just some newly added savvy deals.
