"But Cherry, it's Winter! Why are you wearing neons?" Because it's Winter, darling. Winter months might seem drab and dreary, if you're not into the cold and snow like SOME of us; but because of that it's the most popular months to go on a cruise! Okay, maybe not, but it should be. Everyone wants to escape, right? With this collection of mini colours, you're PRIMED for cruise capitols and palm trees. Being one of the first sets officially released of Julep minis, I can't help but feel they're "Testing the water" so to speak. And while individually-priced minis are a bit pricey, this collection at least is probably worth the price you will pay. Why? Because it's perfect. I mean it. It comes in ADORABLE packaging, so whoever made this in the Packaging department at Julep: KUDOS. It's a slide-out box/tray with snug little places for each piece of the set. Shake, rattle, or roll, they're not moving. The trick is the small upward bump meant to fit the gap where the name stickers are. As long as you don't forget to place polishes back in bottle-butt first, and smash that to crumbly paper bits, you're good to go! Which makes them PERFECT for travelling. And since they're mini-size, being just under half the size of a full-size Julep, you don't have to worry about huge bottles breaking, or [God forbid SHOULD these break] huge quantities of polish getting everywhere. But, you still get several great manis out of each little bottle! Like what you see? You should! Whether you want to buy this to brighten up your snow-days, as a gift for a friend, or to stock up and prepare for summer mani/pedi parties and beaches; I HIGHLY recommend you put this on your list of MUST HAVES. Unfortunately, this is not quite for sale yet, as it was only available as a December Maven Add-On. BUT! It should be arriving soon, so click the handy button below and check out the New Arrivals! You might even find something else you like to keep you busy while you wait! Not a Maven yet? Don't worry! It's super easy to join! Click the banner to the right, take the quiz, and sign up! If you use code FREEBOX, you'll even get your special Intro box FREE! All you have to do is pay for Julep to ship your beautiful box to you, and you'll be set to go.
Please note: Julep Maven program IS a recurring monthly subscription. After your Intro box, you can preview and change your next monthly box from the 20th to the 24th every month. Do nothing, and you'll get your assigned box style automatically! You don't even have to touch it. If you don't like what you see, need to skip the month for any reason, or want to change/upgrade your box that month, this preview window is the time to do it! Just log in to your account on any computer, and access your Monthly Maven profile to find the changes. Make sure to mark your calendars, so you don't forget! On the 27th, accounts are charged and boxes are shipped. They usually arrive within 2 weeks for US customers, and 2-5 weeks for Canadian customers [CP and customs slow the process, unfortunately]. If you took your box that month, on the 1st of the month after successful account charge and product ship, the Julep Secret Store opens up! This is a special store for Mavens as a reward, that offers limited edition products, super sale prices, and sometimes previews of what's to come for the rest of Julep's customers. Not for you? Give Julep Customer Service a call anytime, and leave a voicemail with your name and account information, and request your Maven subscription be cancelled. Within a week, you should receive an e-mail confirmation of canceling, and you won't get any more boxes! :)

Welcome back everyone! As of today, I received my Ultimate Upgrade for the FULL Boudoir Collection from Julep! I have to say, my expectations have not only been met in some of these colours, they've been exceeded.
The first polish to be swatched and tried is one of the Cremes, Mona. Mona had a pretty bad rap pre-release, from people saying she looked too dark, or she was an ugly black, or so on. Thankfully, she's not! Mona is a beauuuutiful charcoal-grey creme that dried pretty quickly, especially for being a creme, and for the first half hour after putting it on I couldn't stop spontaneously bursting out "ILOVETHISPOLISH", much to the dismay of my poor teenage daughter. [lol!] I must say, if all the others hold up to this level of awesome... This might just be my favourite collection yet! If you would like to purchase Mona, look no further! The button below takes you right to her page! Hello again my lovely gals! Starting today is the Julep Maven Secret Store, and if you didn't take your box; You might want to regret that right about now. Why? Because BIRTHSTONE COLLECTION that's why! Every month in the Secret Store, there will be a relevant Birthstone gal in there. This month is Betty for Garnet, and she is GORGEOUS! Did I mention? ALL Birthstone collection gals will have a gold cap, not black!
These are direct links; Should you have skipped your box, IF you do NOT sign into your account, you should be able to click these direct links and access the item to purchase it. Logging into your account before checkout WILL result in a failed purchase, so make sure you're not logged in! I will continue to do this for the SSs so long as the direct link work around works! ;D Has Santa put you on his Nice list? Or have you been Naughty? Maybe, like me, you're more of a Naucey? I'm a definite Naucey. Nothing truly bad, but then nothing super good either! YAY! [sort of >_>]
Either way, less than 24 hours after the 12 Days of Gifting were heralded out to mixed reactions, they've given us a BEAUTIFUL Mystery box! The Naughty and Nice Mystery Box is $24.99, but if you've held onto your 40% off code from the December box, you're in luck [And how'd you DO it? o:] you'll get it for $15!! And word is, if you add-on the Mystery Add-On, you can get it and the Mystery box itself for $24-$25 with the 40% coupon!! How awesome is that? Prettttty awesome! XD This one is already proving extremely popular; Through my links alone, almost a dozen have been sold! I can only imagine this to be true to the TENFOLD at least across the board! So get to it before you lose the chance! O: Alas, our time has come to its end [For this countdown, at least]. And with that, maybe it isn't the bang you were all looking for, but it's quite the deal nonetheless! This Halo Lip Gloss set is packaged in such a way, that you can use it as a Christmas Tree ornament! Or, you know, use the tree to play hide and seek with the gift ;D Don't forget it's only around for today!!
We had lots of winners yesterday who will soon be snuggling up with their new mini iPads; And sadly some who might have a few more hoops to jump through. [We're rooting for a happy ending!!] Did you hear of any Gift card winners? Congratulations if you're one of them!!!
Today's day 11, and that means our time together in this WONDERFUL count down is almost over. But don't worry! More deals are always on their way! Lucky for us, today is another FREEBIE! Add $25 of product to your cart, as well as the Neutrals set, enter the code and BAM! You get the neutrals set FREE! 8D My Julep gave to me.... FIIIIIIVE AWESOME SPINNNNNS!
4 discount codes, 3 bargain deals, 2 polishes and a CHANCE FOR AN IPAD MINNIIIII [Or a $1,000 Visa Gift Card!! O:] That's right, if you HAVEN'T by some miracle seen today's Julep deal... GET. THERE. NOW. I personally can confirm at LEAST half a dozen gals that have won an ipad AND been contacted by Julep already!! HOW WONDERFUL? And, there are still TWO days left! Excited? You better be. NOW GET SPINNING AND SPENDING! :D Gooood morning Nail-it-nammmmm! Yup. I just did Blue's Clues and Robin Williams in the span of 3 seconds. That's just how I roll. You know how else I roll? MANIIIIS! Okay. Those of you that follow my personal facebook are more likely to know the following information; However since that might not be entirely likely [Hey, I get it; Newsfeeds be full y'all], I'll share it anyway. Back in October I participated in a Swap with a gal who had never swapped before [Swap: Nailingo for a trade of polishes and/or cosmetic and edible goods for the same of approved value. No monetary funds traded usually. Pure barter!], and as is common practice I included several candies and goodies, and she [New as she was to swapping] did not. She felt bad, but love the idea, and promptly set up a Holiday Swap in which gals would load up based on a Secret Santa/Wishlist style arena and gift their "giftee". Guidelines were set, wishlists anonymously swapped, and deadlines put in place. Yay! My giftee gave me the BIGGEST BESTEST box of AWESOME I could never have asked for, and I'm STILL working on trying out all the new polishes and goodies I was sent. And my gifter says there are still MORE things coming! Seriously! I'm amazed, and feeling seriously blessed over here. Why am I telling you this? Beeeeecause 90% of what you see mani-wise [At least in this post, if not also in future posts] are probably going to, at least in part, be focused on using those. Hell, I still haven't swatched all the polishes I got from Julep's December box!!! O: Annnnnywayyyyy, here are the manis I have on hand, [Heh...heheheh.] and the pictures of my Holiday Swap gifts! Not much, only DAY NINE OF TWELVE!!! Unsure just now how this one will pan out; No specifics are shown or given just yet. But, I do see some Holiday Gift Guide specials; Such as the super loved Gem Collection; Featured in the advertisements we've been given to share with you all.
Plus, who can complain about 50% off? I know I can't. Especially since it indicates an EXTRA 50% off. So maybe we'll be getting deals on TOP of deals? One can hope; Stay tuned and let me know if you take advantage of it! :D Apologies again ladies [and gents if you're out there? :D], I was finally able to spook up some behaved kitties last night and ACTUALLY got some uninterrupted sleep for the first time this week. SO. I took that baby and ran with it lol.
This deal is probably not new to many of you that frequent the Polish world as we know it; Because this is DEFINITELY a popular deal going around this year with all the polish makers I've been keeping a fashionable eye on. BUT! Let it not dissuade you, because oft-used or not it's a great holiday deal! It's the excuse we ALLLL tell ourselves when we're shopping anyway. "One for me, one for... someone. Two for me, one for someone." ;D So get hopping! You've only got today on this one. :) |
