I got that one too, and I'm really impressed.  I love the texture of it - not too sticky or gloppy; has a nice smooth feeling to it. I wish the other shades were available now for individual purchase.  You can only get them in the full set under the Holiday Collections.

I had resigned myself to not getting anything from the secret store because once I added in all my add ons, it was $65.  But by picking up just what I really wanted from outside the secret store (Lacey and the nail file) I'm able to get everything for $21.  Which is pretty much the price of the monthly box and I'm so much happier with the items I'm getting.  Granted I don't get the extraordinary color kit or the new color elle(?), but I'm cool with that.

Also, before I order it, is doublestep worth it?  I want to get an idea if I'm going to like it before I buy it.
No, it's nothing special.

@rainpetal I didn't particularly like mine...it really didn't do anything for me at all no matter how I used it. The twist-up mechanism broke right away as well! Probably one of the worst Julep beauty items I've tried, however, I'm not sure if others may have had better luck with theirs!

Is anyone else having trouble getting add ons to show up in your car?  I select the add ons, but then when I click check out they aren't included in the items and the price doesn't change to show the add ons have actually been added... Not sure if it's just me or something is going on with the site?

Oh no! I just bought it lol.  Oh well, at least it was only $5.

That happened the first time. I went back and tried again and it added. I got Beatrix for 2.50!

I keep having problems with the GOCRAZY coupon.  It won't apply to anything, which I'm sure is a total user error!  Also, I'm not really impressed by anything in the Holiday Shop.  I feel like it's all overpriced, even at 50% off.

Last year they ran a 12 days of gifting promo starting December 1st.  I am going to wait on that for the holiday shop.

GOCRAZY doesn't work on the secret store but does work on the add ons.

I am loving the Julep sale!!!

 

[ShannonHey]

Got the add on to work... so happy I didn't jump the gun on the secret store in the last two days!  All I really wanted was the Freedom coat, cuticle oil, and champagne trio, and now I can get it all for just $18 with the GOCRAZY code, instead of springing for a set like I was planning too.  My patience (procrastination) actually paid off, what a great feeling!

 

[cari12]

I totally understand why, but I'm so bummed GOCRAZY doesn't work on the Secret Store. I may or may not have tripped over a few things running to the living room to hop on my desktop to try and order the Glam Set from the secret store before I noticed the fine print

I got the eye glider set. I was going to get two polishes but they sold out as I was adding them to my cart. The beatrix add on did that too. So annoying! If it restocks while the sale is still going I'll pick something up just to add it on. Did anyone else notice the prices for the holiday sets were higher on the site than they were on the holiday booklet? I'm assuming this is because of the 50% discount. I nearly laughed out loud at those prices! As if someone would really pay that. Silly julep!

I was pleasantly surprised by Posh as well. I went for the darkest shade because I was suspicious of the swatches and how sheer their lip glosses usually are. It looks like a sheer berry. Nic however does show up dark on my nails just like the julep swatch if not a bit lighter, unless I can manage one thin coat. I couldn't without it looking streaky though. I'll have to try again because I prefer the one coat shade better. Two coats looks like Butter London La Moss and it's still really nice. I can definitely tell its not black which I was originally worried about.

I do not go wading into that toxic swamp. Can you elaborate?
Called to cancel, got skipped instead, automatic withdrawal, overdrawn at bank, no apology from Julep, no refund from Julep, deleted off facebook for cussing,  Spamming every post about Julep.

Sorry to hear that.

  Yes, that is what I am saying, except I don't like the term "problem."  I would prefer a different term.  I'm not very clever, so I can't think of a different term right now.
Maybe, nail polish obsessive, or we could label it a disorder and call it "loss of self control induced by nail polish."  

I should tell this to the hubby when he asks why I need so much nail polish.

I mean, maybe Brielle is a hair lighter, but that's probably from formulation differences. I though Nic would be a dupe for Coco, but Nic is darker and redder. I really like the Posh lip gloss better than I thought I would; it goes on sheer. Autumn is super-pretty red and orange small hexes and glitter.

Bad photos below:

(Posh over Too Faced Bee Sting, which is basically the color of my lips. IDK why my face is so red. I'm having a stressful week and I'm breaking out everywhere

Autumn is so pretty and the gloss looks great on you.

I cannot believe how much polish I have ordered in the past month! (Not to mention other items from polish companies.). Thank goodness puppies do not ask silly questions about purchases--and my youngest loves to play with packing materials!

  My box (upgrade) came today as well!  Fortunately, I took the day off so was able to snap some pictures.  I'm really liking the colors, and Autumn is gorgeous!  Surprised to see how pretty Cynthia is in person.  My gloss is Charming, and I'm liking how it feels on.

Spoiler

Those all look so pretty!

It's okay I figured I really didn't need one since I already have everything in the box but the stickers.

I didn't want any holiday sets (order a bunch from the secret store yesterday with 20% code) but I finally grabbed Edith($7) and the code GOCRAZY works on it. As I was checking out the add ons popped up so I chose a couple, and the 50% code worked on them as well.



Nice haul!
