FrquGH My tracking updated today and it apparently was only received by the shipping facility today.

WTH Julep. You gave me the tracking on Monday. It says I should expect 3--5 days shipping when I ordered >|| I was expecting to receive it by today, not for it to finally ship out.

/useless problems lol

 
I got my maven box today, the DD cream matches my skin but the container feels a bit empty. Don't know if I should contact them with all the madness going on right now. On the plus side the DD cream matched me perfectly but not sure about the coverage, it smells a lot like sunblock to me. Now why cant BB and Ipsy get here as fast as Julep i'm still waiting on those subs to come in and they ship at the beginning of the month.

 
my secret store order arrived! (still lists it as processing when i log in tho...oh well!)  I got one of the white jewelry boxes- nice! Iike it a lot (bonus, the white cardboard box it was packaged in is study enough to store polishes in, score!) & I got Carly, Sadie, and the fresh watermelon set- Mackenzie & Sarah.  Love all the colors and have nothing like them in my collection.  Mackenzie is especially pretty.. I cant decide which one I want to try out first!

It is! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Sarah looks like a really cool jelly, I have to decide it I want to layer it with some other jelly polishes or put a more opaque color top first & top w/ sarah... decisions decisions! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Secret store order came today ^.^ (finally)



I got the 5 set with the top coat as well as the products set so now I have two Laurens. ^^;; Also, the pink glitter wasn't packaged like some of the glitter pots are so it was almost spilling out. I had to repack it, but I still didn't manage to get most of it back in.



On another note, I'm disappointed how dark the Helen/Audrey/Jennifer set actually is. It's always hard for me to tell from swatches online. I'm a lot darker than most people who swatch (and a lot lighter than other WoC who do swatches), so it's really difficult for me to tell. I've gotten pretty good at guessing, but I really don't think any of these are going to look very good against my skintone. ):

It really frustrates me on a general level, and a Julep level. I wish they would also include a medium swatch. Their swatches in general are pretty inaccurate, but I have to extrapolate from inaccurate swatches to my skintone. :C

i totally agree that the pricing is ridiculous for the concealer, no matter the quality or brand. however, it's what was reported and was not disguised or deceptive; that's the only point i wanted to make.

also, kyuu, i know you thought the three won't look good aganst your skin tone but whatever you're wearing in that photo looks amazing. i really love polishes that appear pale and bright against the skin.

 
Honestly, I've been wearing DD cream in light for the last two days. It's been in the 90's here and no sunburn! I'm medium toned and it looks dewy and flawless on my face. Too bad that they're discontinued. It's actually a little better than SuperGoop CC cream since it doesn't dry out my skin much. SuperGoop dries out a little as not so much that I have to apply more moisturizer. I used Coola Cucumer sunscreen moisturizer as base then applied DD Cream on top. No sunburn!

This is DD cream in light. I'm at outside by the pool under shade. I have a little blush on my cheeks.

Haha, thanks, but I'm actually wearing Zoya Jaime, because I got tired of waiting for the Juleps to arrive. Jaime is my favourite pink! LOL it's too bad the formula isn't so great. It's minorly streaky, which I wouldn't even mind so much if it weren't for the fact I've always gotten bubbles when I put it on. 

Here's a comparison of how dark they are to Jaime (which is a light, metallic lilac pink)



As you can see, quite a bit darker!

And here's a picture of it on my nails, and next to the other colours:



They're too medium toned I don't think they'd look good.

Also, it's super weird because a lot of the online swatches I've seen of Jaime are SOOO much darker

^^ the last one is the cloest to me

Which is weird because Helen, Audrey, and Jennifer all seem very light to me in swatches. I don't understand anything anymore /o

Edited to add: They have a LOT of cute purses!

Edited again to add: I placed two separate orders & had them shipped to the store for free. This & a pink one for $16 + a little tax. Amazing deal. Thank you!

I can't always get bottle color (from Julep/from other companies) to translate to nail color. I think the main reason I'm over Julep is that I can't tell enough from their color descriptions and the one or two swatches to know what I'm getting...I unabashed love Ginger (which chips like any holo) but the rest don't seem worth the "well I was hoping for teal but..."

I'd still try them...I think the colors are gorgeous and they may surprise you!

 
one more opinion on bunny:  i used it yesterday and LOVE it.  it's true that the gold vanishes completely, but i agree with what someone said that they are what keeps it from being really stark.  this has a slight warmth to it.  i never thought i'd want white nails (or could pull 'em off), but they look awesome and fresh.  one last thing - the formula is a little too thick but manageable.

 
I just got another email from julep, after I emailed them with my frustration about my cancelled box, that they actually already sent me the modern beauty box in medium instead of light and to "contact them if it was too dark to work something out." really? Obviously it's going to be too dark if I chose light! So now not only did they cancel my original order, they're instead sending me something in totally the wrong color! I'm so frustrated!
