Julep Maven February 2014 Selection Time!

Hey ladies,

I want to sign up (used the link on this post) and Julep is asking for a referral code when I go to place my order, but I don’t see one on this post, so if anyone wants to get a referral (I want to share the love!) please reply with your code.

Thanks!

So, once I figured out how to upgrade…I did the full upgrade with the eye shadow and eye liner. I looooved the colors this month and am excited to get this box. I love Julep and I know they changed their policies but hopefully we will see improvements in other areas.

Has anyone seen the Julep tv commercials?

I don’t know why but I cannot upgrade my box to have all the polishes for this collection. When I click on the “yes please” icon it just sends me to my account page. Anyone else having this problem?

Finally a box I love! I decided a few months back that unless I absolutely loved any of the selections I wouldn’t dish out the $20 for the box so I ended up skipping December and January. But I think I’m going to go for the Bombshell for February with the warm fig shimmer eyeshadow!

I earned my anniversary Jules last month and it’s hard to believe I’ve been with Julep for a year! They have definitely made some great improvements during the year I’ve been a member! For this month I switched to Boho Glam from Modern Beauty.. I’m glad I am “grandmothered” in and still have the ability to choose a different style. That’s why I like Julep, I hope they don’t decide to change it for the “older” members. Because if it weren’t for this feature I probably would have cancelled long ago!

Is there a way to sign up, skip the welcome box and go straight to one of the choices above?

I soooooo want It Girl plus Goldie. I have to go right now and skip before I do something rash. I seem to be a polish addict even though I rarely wear any, and more is so not in the budget this month. Glad I’m grandfathered in so I can skip or I’d have to cancel & that would break my heart.

To get the glitter polish remover or to not get the glitter polish remover…that is the question. Wish I knew how wel it worked.

I also took the full upgrade for the first time! I loved everything they had to offer this month! Looking forward to all the new pretties!!!

I am in love with the colors this month! If I weren’t on a budget, I’d definitely upgrade, but since I am, I went with Boho Glam and added Glam Roc. I can’t wait for my box!

LOVED the colors this month – I finally had enough Jules for a free box and got It Girl + Cameron. Can’t wait to see them in person!

Also, a big heads-up about a discussion going on at MUT. Julep kind of buried this valuable piece of information about new Maven subscriptions in a 1/16 blog post called “Note from Jane”:

PROGRAM UPDATES

“. . . However, in order to make sure that we’re never out of stock on the fabulous new product offerings coming to Maven, we’re simplifying the skip feature for our new Mavens. Starting with the February Maven Box, new Mavens will have flexibility to earn a skip every six months. And, of course, if you’re currently a Maven who joined before December 18, 2013, you are ‘grandmothered’ in to the original terms with no changes to your skip options.”

Thankfully I’m already ‘grandmothered’ in. I don’t think I’d keep up the subscription long-term if I had to earn skips every six months!

I did the full upgrade for the first time! Love that it has 2 brushes in it!!! I hope the shimmers work well with dark skin! Usually they have polish models in both but I didn’t notice them this time. Oh well. I’m excited!

The eyesheen and polish are lovely this month, but I choose to skip for financial reasons. Speaking of skipping, did you know that new Julep Maven subscribers (after December 18th) will only be able to skip once every 6 months?!

I got the Classic With a Twist box and added the “Glam Roc” polish. I also chose the Warm Fig shimmer eye sheen. The collection this month is absolutely gorgeous!

Quite possibly one of the best color months ever! So excited!

Switched from Bombshell (my intro box) to Boho with the Deep bronze shimmer. Loving that lilac polish!

I looked at the glitter remover too–was wondering if it might be good for removing gel manicures too… Didn’t want to spend that much for it though…

I opted for the full upgrade as well, but I am glad that this month they put the brush add ons in the upgrade, unlike last month. I didn’t really want the cuticle pusher last month, but was disappointed that it wasn’t included in the full upgrade. Also I love all the colors! Can’t wait for the mystery box and secret shop!

I was also excited about this glitter remover but it’s $20! I think that’s a lot money for what you get.

As for my selection, I was debating whether to get my Boho Glam or Bombshell. I ended up keeping my box and choosing the Nude eyeshadow. I was almost going to add on another eyeshadow but after I want to try it and see if I like it before I buy any more.

Oh man, I was SO going to quit this month because how many nail polishes does a girl need? The eyeshadows got me. I switched from Classic With a Twist to Modern Beauty this month so I could get the gel eyeliner and brush instead. I also added on an extra eye shadow and nail polish. I’ll wind up with pale nude shimmer and warm fig shimmer. I added on the Glam Roc polish. I am SO tempted to get the box that’s all the polishes and ALL the shadows. Must. Show. Restraint.

I went ahead and did the big $55 add on because I really wanted all of the eye shimmers and it was only a couple bucks difference between that add on and just adding three shimmers and the brush. Now I get everything…yay!
