(Spoilers) Julep November 2013

Brielle, Sheila and Autumn.  All were nice in formula and easy to work with.

Holy moly , that's a big picture.

I just received my gem collection and one of the bottles broke and there were glass shards all over the box. =o(

I e-mailed them yesterday and included a picture since I have read here before that they ask for pictures, so I'm hoping they respond soon. Hopefully this doesn't turn into a pain

Posting here too:

I ordered from the Julep store Nov. 1st (Fri) during their 50% sale.  It shipped Monday via DHL (I didn't pay extra for shipping) and it arrived today.  I can't believe how fast that was.  I did noticed it shipped out from Seattle though.  And I live in Seattle.  But I was still really surprised.

My Gem Collection was broken as well. I just called and they placed an order for a new one! I was asked to email pictures, but other than that it was super easy! I think this is happening a lot because we were discussing it on the December thread as well.

  I wore Charming over Mirabella Posy last night and it muted it slightly (but in a good way).  I don't have that many lip glosses so it's nice to have when I want to tone down a bold lip just a tad. Anyone try the lip primer yet? I have one coming to me in a swap and I'm excited to try it!

I was a bit conflicted about the lip primer, but after wearing it for a few days, I've decided I like it under matte lipsticks.  It's matte itself so doesn't change the finish of the lipstick on top, but provides enough moisture that my matte lipsticks don't feel quite as drying.  Not sure I'd use it on a daily basis, but for my matte colors, yep.

Thanks! I got mine from a swap today and I think I like it. It last really well through dinner, a margarita and a few kisses so that's pretty good in my book. It doesn't seem like there's much product in it though.

OK I got the Boho Glam box and LOVE the lipgloss - Charming. The formula is fantastic and the size is very generous! Love it!

HOWEVER, the polishes were blah! Does anyone else feel that Aisha was not really true to the picture? It was much more boring that the berry color they posted. boring...

Then Alexandra seems nice but I have not tried it so I can't tell yet but I have like a million opaque beiges from recent boxes to I can't imagine it is anything special.

I guess getting the November box was worth it for the lip gloss and to be closer to my third box. I would love to know what people thought of AISHA.

I feel like I already have two dupes for Aisha, and don't need another I hated the lip gloss and I like Alexandra because I don't have another color like it. I am wearing it right now under Autumn.

I definitely feel like the picture of Aisha was more vibrant than real life. It's not very unique in person.

I loved I Aisha. I wore it for four days with autumn on the tips. I got many compliments on it. I'm sorry it doesn't work for you though.

Have to agree about Aisha, not thrilled with it. I got the boho box for that color. I like the gloss, it just has zero staying power on me. I hope once I wear Aisha, my feelings change., maybe I'll combine it with some glitter polish.

Aw, I actually quite like Aisha (and everything else about this months Boho Glam box). That been said I'm mostly in to conservative colors so I can imagine many other people not loving it. Too bad this one didn't work for you.

Did anyone else think that Lola just looked black instead of blue when swatched or worn?

Julep's darks drive me absolutely nuts in this regard. I loveeee dark nail polish but dislike black polish. I was so excited for the my September collection upgrade and found that I basically got a box full of black nail polish (and the gorgeous microglitters of course).

That's so funny, because that is exactly what I loved about October. To each her own!

I got a text from Julep for Aisha at $ 5.99.

It looks like a very very very dark navy on me. I guess at arms length it looks just off black, but half arms length it looks more navy. I like the finish, but it has zero lasting power. Chips within a few hours.

Maybe it's just my poor eyes then.  I found with Cleopatra that it didn't last long.  Maybe it's just the lack of a top coat to keep the effect of the finish?

Cleopatra didn't last long for me either. Another that I loved the finish of. Definitely the lack of top coat. But I find that after a day, the natural oils in your skin/nails overtakes the matte finish and it starts to look glossy. I definitely feel like the matte looks are single day looks! Or even just for a few hours out! Lol
