OK, this is my very first MUT post. Since I enjoyed reading about everyone else's boxes, so here's what I got today. According to the packing slip, I got "Mystery Box 5"

 

 

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Full size SPF 30 Daylight Defense

3x Nail Remover pads
1x packet glycolic hand scrub
White glitter pot
 
Polishes:
Unnamed glitter
Catherine
Renee
Lucy
Emmanuelle
Chelsea

 

Overall, I'm pleased, though I think some of the colors are a little girlier than I would have normally gotten for myself.

I got box number one. Very happy but I will be trading the glitter one. Other ones are very nice.

Pedi creme
Yet Another Melissa. I literally gave one of the 4 I've gotten in mystery boxes away as a gift yesterday. *sigh*
Matte Top Coat - already have one from the suedes
Gwyneth
The mystery glitter
Sandra
Brandt - from the Trina Turk collection
Blue glitter pot
2 nail polish remover pads
2 packets of the glycolic hand scrub

 

  I received this same box.  Whilte Melissa, Gwyneth and Sandra were all dupes for me, I love the glitter, matte top coat, and Brandt; and can always use more Pedi creme.  Not a bad box, since I do like Brandt better than some of the more pastel colors I've seen in other boxes.

I am so mad I ordered two boxes thinking i would get two different ones and they are exactly the same box. What a waste of the extra 20 I spent.

I'm new to MUT and new to Julep. So I started a subscription to Julep and got my intro box a couple days ago with 2 colors, 2 glitter pots and cuticle oil. Today I received a second box of the same. I ordered the New Year's Mystery box and hope its still coming. What should I do with my dupe box? I sent an email to Julep icon_rolleyes.gif

Yes, send an email to julep and let them know. I'm sure they'll just tell you to keep it but its always good to let them know- there's possible a glitch in their system that could cost them a lot of $$$$. Happy Holidays!!!

I got mystery box 2.

 

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

 

I'm happy with it because it has the Matte nail polish topcoat in it that I really really wanted to try. Not happy I got another thing of Hand Cream! I have like 4 of them! I am trying to use them up but it's hard.

 

The glitter is pretty. I already have the shimmery white, the green, and Porscia, but that's okay.

I received mystery box #5. I'm pretty happy with my box. No dupes this time (unlike the last one in which I only got one new color). Can't wait to try the mystery glitter!

I got mystery box #6 which I don't think I've seen anyone post yet. I got sienna, Boris & Nicole, mischa, mystery glitter, Chelsea, full size hand brightener lotion, dark blue glitter pot and a bunch of foil packets containing a medley of items. Chelsea is my only duplicate so I'm pretty happy-Please keep all trade talk to the b/s/t area.

I'm pretty happy with my mystery box- I think Boris & Nicole is going to look awesome with the mystery glitter. I was really hoping for the iPad mini but it wasn't my time....lol!

We got the same box.  :)  I asked my husband to buy one for me for Christmas, but I was kind of disappointed because I already had two of the same colors.  :(  Oh well.

I got Box 2, with 3 of the glycolic hand scrub packets and the white glitter pot (everything else the same as the previous poster).  

 

Did everyone get a Julep bag? (I assume yes)

 

Seems like box 4 is the best one since it had a mascara instead of a glitter pot.  Jealous!  I love the pedi creme so much, I was so upset they took it out of the intro box before I bought a backup.  I have 11 zillion of the foil packets, but that is just not the same.

I got Box 1, and I'm not too thrilled with it. There are only two polishes I will probably keep. One I already have a very similar color, but since the polish is named after me, I think I am meant to keep it. Plus, the similar color I already own is a pretty cheap brand. This will probably be the first and last mystery box I buy.

That happened to me with my November box and they told me to just keep it or give it to a friend!

I found box 1 to be a little underwhelming. I got two of number 1 and i have almost all the colors already. I am glad to get a second matte top coat though, its all going to a gift.

I got box 4 and it did not have a mascara.  It had a blue glitter pot. Hmmm... I guess the numbers didn't really matter.  I was quite happy with my box all in all.  I mean, it was definitely worth the $20.  It had 5 polishes, a few of the nail polish remover pads, a few of the packets of glycolic scrub, the full size spf 30 for face and hands and the julep bag.

I got the same box that was on the thread earlier in a blog.  I'm really happy because somehow I'll wear all six of the polishes I received, and they're all new for me!

I tried the sunscreen during the summer and I didn't have any breakouts from it, but it does smell like oranges.
