I’m still pretty new to Julep. This is my second time getting to pick what’s in my box so I have a lot on my wishlist. I try to shoot for the best value as well. I chose the Rethink Your Shower body wash oil, What Your Skin Needs facial milk, and the Ari polish so I can get the free white one. I wasn’t feeling the sheers but I love pink… I’ll figure something out! For add-ons I chose the Surf’s Up Mystery Trio- because I can’t pass up 3 polishes for $9.99 and I like a little bit of surprise! and I chose the Silver Linings tape and Phyllis polish (more pink!). I used the Jules so it comes out to $14.98. Not bad. And I figured the way the Jules work you can basically get 1 free polish a month, if you wanted. So, body wash, moisturizer, nail tape, and 7 nail polishes. The wait kills me!
Skipped this month. Sheer colors are not my jam. I’ll probably do the secret store, though, because I’ve been following their Zodiac collection.
I thought about the bacteria part too. But I use to use Erno Laszlo black soap bar with 50 splashes and my face was always fresh and radiant. Let it air dry so bacteria can’t survive. And with all the antioxidants, they will detoxify any remaining bacteria. I suggest to just rinse off before applying to clean your face again. Yes, you can use a scooper too but that’s not the concept here.
I ended up getting the all-polish box and adding Aries. Actually, for me that showed great restraint!
It says on the news blog for this month on julep that you will get a free white polish (brigette) free with any sheer polish from this month! I go through that polish like crazy so I might not skip this month!
One of the sheer polishes has my name spelled perfectly! Guess I’m getting this box for sure!
The cleansing stick is really no different than chap stick or tube lip balm. Or you could use some type of small cosmetic scoop to remove the cleansing balm and use that way.
I might not skip this time. I like the idea of a stick, but I agree with Lee about the bacteria build up.
I feel like bacteria would grow on the face cleansing sticks. Neat idea though.
No different than a bar of soap or any other product you stick your fingers into.
