Julep Golden Mystery Box Review – August 2013

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! THEY HAVE OVER 80+ COMPLAINTS WITH BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU! SOON THEY WILL HAVE COMPLAINTS WITH THE GOVERNMENT POS OFFICE FRAUD. IF YOU WRITE A LETTER TO QUIT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION THEY WILL CONTINUE TO CHARGE YOU. THEY ARE A SCAM!

I got version 4.

Bunny – White with gold shimmer
Drew – Hot pink
Anne – Lilac (almost the same as the tissue paper!)
Sheryl – Gold with gold shimmer
Alfie – Dusty dark lavender
Maria – Dusty silvery pink/rose
Fina – Dusty steel blue
Coco – Rusty brown
Nan – Orange-ish salmon
January – Bright red

Hair ties (pink, glittery silver, black)

Oxygen Treatment

SPF Hand Cream

Taffy (which I gave to the boyfriend. I don’t like salt water taffy).

I LOVE this box!

My box was the same as well, but also with different colors. Hair ties were fallish…mauve, black and mini-animal print. My polish colors were a little more on the summer side…Sheryl, Layne, Drew, Bunny…although Sheryl and Drew will work well in the fall too. I’ve only been doing Julep for a few months, so although the value may not been as high as I’d hoped, I was happy with what was in the box.

Wish I did this!!! When I wanted to they were of course were sold out!! I won’t wait next time. Enjoy ladies who received!!

I got the same box as you (version 2) except my hair ties were darker colors, black brown and gray. I was happy with all of the products and don’t really care about the value as long as it exceeds the $30 I paid for it. I’ve been looking for a new hand cream so excited to try that out and also the nail treatment! 🙂

I got Version 3. I will only use the oxygen nail treatment and the hair ties. I don’t like any of the nail colors (but I love yours Liz).
I always get the small version, too. I think this is my last mystery box.

I’m so glad I didn’t end up buying this mystery box, because I would have been so disappointed if I received a box similar to yours. I also agree that Julep should value their boxes using the Maven price instead of the retail one. Most people will sign up regardless because they want to save money.

Not sure if mine was a mistake or not, but I received 14 polishes in my box! It was like Christmas! I am new to julep, so I didn’t have any of the colors they sent me. I also received the other things everyone else got, too ( hand lotion, nail treatment, earrings). Not sure how I received this one?! It was awesome!

My package for this and anglea and etta was stolen off my porch. I sure hope the thieves like their mystery box since Julep and the post office are doing nothing to help me out. First time this ever happened in about seven years. 🙁

I answered this in the other post about the Secret Store but I got version 3 which includes:

Oxygen Nail Treatment $14.40
SPF 30 Hand Cream (Full Size) $12.99
Nail colors: Bunny, Layne, Sheryl, and Drew $11.20 each (Sheryl $7.99)
Belina Hair Ties ???
Salt Water Taffy

I also think Julep should really consider valuing these boxes using the Maven price instead of the retail one because only Mavens can purchase this box. (And only if you bought the month’s box, so even more exclusive.)

I’m just happy I didn’t get any colors I have and that they would be something I would wear.

I’m going to contact Julep tomorrow. I got an e-mail saying they shipped my box out on August 2, but the tracking info is still stuck on electronic shipping received. This is the same problem I had with my lip factory. 🙁

I received the same box you did! Love the colors. My only wish is that they considered the box value in terms of Maven prices instead of full pricing since only Mavens could order this box. If you calculate in Maven pricing, the value is less than $100 especially since the hand cream is on sale for $12.99 right now and so is Fina at $7.99. So altogether the value really is closer to $77.98.

Either way it’s still good value, so not complaining too much. Really wanted the oxygen nail treatment and I’ve been looking for hand cream with SPF for awhile. I’ve tried L’Occitane’s but the smell is way too potent for me. This is perfect!

I received the same box as well and I love the colors! Very fall and winter! The hand lotion and oxygen polish I will also use too. While I happy with my box, I wish there was a little surprise for this box, a little more golden sparkle from a golden box. However, I am definitely looking forward to the first fall box in September and hopefully it’s exciting!

I got the same box number version as you did minus the hair ties. I really like the hair ties 🙁 do you think they just forgot to put them in mine? ‘Cause the colors and products and candy are identical to yours.

I got version 2 as well. Kinda disappointed there wasn’t something really special for their anniversary in it. Nail colors are pretty.

I got the same you did, just different polish colors. Love yours more! I’m excited about the hand cream and the nail treatment – those are both items that I wouldn’t pick up on my own, so I was glad to see them in the box. And while the polish colors I got weren’t my fave, they’re still nice – more of red, golden colors – and they’ll still get used. Though at this rate, I’m running out of nail polish storage!!
