(Spoilers) Julep November 2013

[Jac13]

I used the coupon and placed my order. I would love to get some diamond earrings but I am not counting on it. I just hope to be happy with my box.

Just bought the mystery box with the code for $19.99! I loved my last one--funny how I never take my box, but I am a sucker for shopping their site with codes!

Same here!

Thanks @cari12 for the code! I got the diamond box for $19.99
You're welcome!

I think the past few mystery boxes have had products from May through August (jazz trip, lip scrub, cuticle stick, moisture mask trio, double step, the body oil & beach spray, etc.) so I'm wondering if this one won't have something from the September box in it? Maybe the face oil or primer? Who knows though. I'm hoping for a mostly polish box this time since the last one was mostly product and I'm wondering if they'll include more glitters/shimmers to fit the "diamond" theme?

I do have a guess for the mystery add-on item though. It's a $48 value which is the exact value of the white jewelry box the gem collection comes in and that would fit with the theme. But it could also be any combination of polish/product like the past couple of mystery add-ons have been /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 
I hope it is not the white jewelry box because it looks like it would only fit Julep polishes in it or I guess it could be used as a jewelry box but jeez for $48, I would buy my own jewelry box and a few other things. Does anyone else feel that Julep way overprices their stuff in order to mark it down to a normal price to make you feel like you are getting a "deal"? I am kinda getting burnt out on them, although I may still get the mystery box LOL I am such a sucker!!!


Oh me too. I'd much rather get a couple extra polishes and a product but I noticed the price on that jewelry box and since they always seem to have a ton of them it seemed possible. If that is they mystery add on, I'll just put some of my Juleps in it. The only Jewelry I have is on my left ring finger almost 24/7 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ha! I know, right? I feel like I throw money at them all.month.long. Monthly box? Take my money! Secret store? Have some more! Mystery box? Sigh. Here's my card...lather, rinse, repeat.

I purposefully don't look at my past orders with them because of this. It i way more than I will ever admit to spending on nail polish.

My new gem collection arrived (a replacement for the broken one). Same big box with minimal padding but they put bubble wrap in the jewelry box this time and it arrived perfectly intact. They also sent me a brand new extraordinary color kit, which was a surprise. I sent them a picture of the plastic case the polishes were in and stated it was torn but the polishes were all fine. I only asked if they could send the case. They sent me the whole set! This is not the stingy julep I'm used to!

Is it coming DHL or regular mail? Regular, but all my Julep stuff from Seattle does. I think it's because I'm in Anchorage and there isn't a DHL hub between Seattle and Anchorage so it makes more sense to just send it straight on up since DHL would likely just transfer it to USPS in Seattle anyway? I realize I'm lucky with this but it's like the one sub I get somewhat fast, I'm used to subs taking weeks (and that's if they'll ship to me at all!) haha /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I was hoping that Julep had seen the light and did sway with DHL. Hope you enjoy.

I think Ipsy delayed sending out their tracking emails because a lot of people get that message for the first day or so after their bags would ship and would get worried, but it's pretty much like Birchbox shipping with UPS MI and the "your tracking will update in 24-48 hours" message a lot of people see when they first get a tracking number too. Of course there are definitely times it doesn't update at all for whatever reason which sucks but I've never had DHL lose a package of mine yet (knock on wood!) 

 

[stephstrong]

Will do! 

Yay can't wait!!! Thanks!!

Mine is 2.4051 lbs, but I got the mystery add on, nightlife, and the neon dips. Really curious what else will be included!
