(Spoilers) Julep November 2013

[cari12]

I also got the mystery add on.. the moisture mask trio and anisa and lois

Sorry. Not anisa, it was adele. I had anisa sitting w them for some reason.

You just made my day!!! I've been wanting Adele!

 

[mariahk83]

can someone post the $5 off code - i don't feel like searching through the thread to find it!

 

[Xiang]

Hmm i wonder if that code will also work for the upcoming monthly maven box. I'm having indecision issues apparently. $19.99 is an amazing deal but at the same time, i kinda want new colors instead of potential dupes/skincare stuff. Hmmmmm... Code = BG74L8U

I don't think you can use codes on the monthly maven boxes, there's no check out for them. You just select and they bill you.

Tbh, I've never gone through with the selection process. I've usually either skipped or forgotten and got billed for my default style. It's sad, I know. But this month, I'm actually excited for polish! I don't know if it's because of the holidays or something.

Ahh gotcha! Well hang onto it for a good sale or something /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm excited for next month too, last December was one of my favorites!

Mine says it weighs 1.73 pounds, no add on. I really hope it's the first version that was spoiled, I like those polishes the best but I only have one dupe in each version so any will be good!

Also, there is version 3 with the same products again, different polishes.  I think it's safe to say we are all getting the same products.

I wouldn't mind another mask trio. I got one in one of the other mystery boxes and enjoyed it so that's cool with me!

I am still waiting on my box. Next month is going to be horrible for shipping.

 

[foxyroxy-26]

Are the boxes worth $120?

I had such a weird experience with julep CS today. I received my secret store order last night and noticed that I was missing some add on items. So I called and let them know, and her first response was telling me that it is shipped in a separate shipment, and it is written on my invoice. I was like "huh" and was sure it wasn't. She then put me on hold, later on changing her first answers and told me that it was out of stock. She gave me two options; credit the 9.99 to my account or to my CC. Told me julep send me an email that said it was out of stock, which I never received. To me, the options given to me was horrible, they should at least offer a replacement. Also, I felt she lied to me because of her first response, if I didn't question it, I will still be here thinking my add on is coming in the mail.

I still didn't have an email response to my smashed Gem Collection complaint, so I just called.

The girl was very sweet and apologized profusely about both the box and the backup of emails.

They are replacing the lacquer box, and my two broken polishes (Angela and Carly), and when I asked I did mention that a couple of the others just had some polish on them, not enough to not be salvageable but the "swatch me" stickers were covered and that was annoying as they're always out of stock of those. I did get an additional free polish offered to me however, so I chose Ciara, which I've been wanting since it came out but just never pulled the trigger on it. So yay!

And my suggestion to anyone who is still waiting for an email response - just call them. I was on hold for like 60 seconds.

I second this.  I have always just called them and they have always resolved any concerns promptly and professionally.  Once they did ask me to send a pic (and I did) but it was to a specific email, not to their general one, and they began processing my replacement before I sent the email anyway.

I probably would have called them right away, but I hate calling in general (I'm on the phone all day from work, and my cell's speaker is effed right now but I'm trying to hold out for Dec 2 when new cell rules come into effect) so I just sent an email because I thought they needed pics.

Next time I will send the email right before calling so they can refer to it while I speak to them if needed.

yes, if you use Juleps non maven, non sale prices!

Even still, though, they are worth way more than $25.  I'd put their 'real value' at around $55 or $60.

I've never ordered any of the Julep mystery boxes before because most of them just never appeal to me and when I wait for the pictures of the boxes they are usually a let down anyways /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Plus, I feel like when they have two or three sizes available the largest one is the only one thats ever worth it, but I always feel like I could spend that money better on something else then on a ton of nail polish and products. 

But I totally just changed my mind about this mystery box! After seeing the spoilers I just had to get it! with the $5 off coupon code it was only $19.99 which is the same price as a regular maven box, but I'm getting a ton more for my money! The glitter topcoats honestly aren't doing all that much for me and I didn't count on buying this box because of them, but with all the other products in it I'm sure I will find something that I like and the rest can be gifted for the holidays.

Now that I've bought this, it marks my third order in a 3 week time period. Julep needs to stop taking my money by running these amazing specials lately! I previously bought the Extraordinary set as a gift from the secret store and then I bought Char (deep navy blue), Avery (bright Barbie pink), Freedom Polymer Topcoat, and Sea Salt Texture Spray during the GOCRAZY sale. THIS SPENDING NEEDS TO STOP!

oh, yes they're def. well worth the $25 - at least this one is to me!  Most of the others, meh...

I almost bought that a couple months ago, so I am so happy I added the mystery add on! 

Mine ways 2.97 or so pounds, but I did get the mystery add on and the Nan add on as well.
