Finally got in and here’s how lame I am: they have 3 different sets that come with cute bags. Mind you, I have MORE than enough makeup bags… I can’t even use them all. But I almost bought all 3 even though the first had 3 polishes – 2 of which I have, another had lip gloss – which I have enough of to last til I die, and another had polishes I dislike and a product I dislike. But I had to yell at myself to remove them from my cart because I was so lured in by the bags! What a mindless consumer drone I am….
Well, speaking for myself, I guess that’s a good way for any company to get me to buy crap I don’t need – include a bag!!! (see: ipsy)
I did get the oil combo (bare face & argan) and 2 $4.99 polishes. I always feel good about the $4.99s b/c it’s not a big deal if I wind up disliking them…
I finally got in, too. Not really tempted by anything, though (not even the October polish, and that’s my birthday month).
If anyone has the mobile Julep app there is a deal on there much better than anything in the secret store. For $25.00 you get the Ta-Da Quick Dry Drops, The Party’s Over Glitter Nail Polish Removal Kit, Clean Up Tool, Celia polish (Icy green metallic), and Estelle (Midnight black w/ holographic shimmer).
I think this is an amazing deal! The Glitter kit alone is $19.99 in the secret store.
Went looking for the app just so that I could get this deal and… only for apple users.
That is really poor marketing to only allow one segment of their Mavens to get a certain deal. That leaves a really bad taste in my mouth, personally. UGH.
I don’t like anytime anyone does promotions via app or social media. I don’t have a smart phone and I don’t use social media. Which leaves me out of nearly all of these deals.
Granted, I canceled Julep earlier today because they were going to charge me for 3 months even though they’d previously told me I was paid through for another month and wouldn’t be charged until the end of October. I had the e-mails from them that said this so they just canceled the account and didn’t even give me a hard time about it.
Me too! My payment has yet to process and I can’t get in. Ah well, it is for the best! 🙂
I had the same problem. Says I owe for October box. I called them. They said there was a technical glitch in their system and they would call me back tomorrow. Sure :/
Hm, those mystery items don’t seem at the right price point to be full boxes or more than one non-polish item (or a polish set) do they usually do box-ish offers around secret store time?
I get in just fine… But I don’t see anything worth buying. Well I’m thinking about some of the nail polishes
I can’t get in – it keeps saying I can’t access the secret store until my October maven box has processed. I checked my billing info, everything’s fine, so I called. They say they are having issues with their system and some people’s boxes are still in “processing” and they don’t know why and they are waiting on their techies to fix it.
So naturally I asked if they could open the secret store to me anyway, since it’s their issue, and since things sell out fast. They say no. Grr.
Same situation… just save some money
My box also says the payment is still processing. Only it also says I don’t owe anything.
Ah well. I hope it gets sorted out. I’m canceling after I get this box, anyway. I have too much polish and I need to start using it before it goes bad.
I haven’t been able to order anything as a maven for a week. This was the last straw. I’m done. If they can’t deal with all their issues I will send my money elsewhere!
Same thing with me! XD I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if we get access…
