I already signed up for LAQA in anticipation of cancelling Julep.  They mailed my first one on Thursday, so should be getting it in the mail soon.  Only $12 per month (1 polish plus a pack of remover wipes), so not a huge commitment.

ETA: This month's color is Gremlin

Can we still get this month's polish? Grabby  hands mint green, I'm a bad person >.>

I don't know if I want to commit for multiple months. I want some of this polish, and it's not a huge financial commitment, but I kind of don't need more than 1 or 2 remover wipes.

Thanks so much for this post!  What a great resource.  I'm thinking I am done with Julep too.  I'd rather give my $ to another company that has interesting finishes, more product per bottle and more consistent product.  Thanks again.

You rock, thank you!

 
Just did a little research on those other subs that were posted, so far Rainbow Honey really catches my eye!  I like that they have two levels of subs ($10 and $25), it looks like they have more interesting finishes, and I love that they also send things like lip balm, roller perfume, or mani tools too!  I'll probably try out the $10 sub to start and if I wind up loving the polish I can always move up to the $25 sub.  For the $25 sub you get a lot of product (3 full sized polishes plus several full sized beauty products).

I'm so sorry to hear about the mess a lot of you have had this month, it sucks!  I have 800 Jules, which I don't want to waste, but I also think I will cancel this month.  After seeing all the customer service issues, people waiting a full month to get a shipment, wrong orders received (and they did that to me once already too - sent my add-ons but not my actual box!), formula problems, ect. I am just not too impressed with Julep lately.  

I think I'm going to look around for another nail polish sub, does anyone have a suggestion?

Black Sheep Laquer also has a box.

 
Wow I cant believe all the issues with Julep this month makes me hesitant to order a June box.

I did the Rainbow Honey mini sub for May - and then skipped Julep for June and just upgraded to the RH large sub.  So much more bang for your buck, IMHO - I've been so happy with their products!

Not to mention...  A full size RH polish is $10 for 15ml - Julep is ($14.00) $11.20 Maven for 8ml.

And through the end of the month, Ipsy has a 25% off code for RH purchases.

 
I apologize if this has already been posted, but I just saw an ad on my facebook for a free month of Julep.  The code "helloyou" gets me a free Summer Brights maven box. What colors does this get me and will I be charged without any further action on my part?

Raegan, Mariska, Kayla, Lip Gloss in Graceful, and the Kajal Eye Liner. It's free except for $2.99 for shipping, and if you do not cancel over the phone with Julep you will be charged $24.99/month.

THANK YOU for the info. When do I need to cancel to avoid getting charged? I do like those colors and would like getting that stuff for free but I don't think I'm on board with the monthly sub at this point in time.

They would charge you on the 27th of next month. So before June 27. But you will have access to discounted Julep products and free shipping for that time, so take advantage of that if you're interested!

 
After not hearing back for 72 hours (3 business days) after emailing CS, I gave them a call.  They are supposedly sending me the correct box this time.  Sigh......I hope my correct May box arrives before my June box.  Stranger things have happened.

 
So now that I've finally gotten to use my plie wand for the first time, I couldn't figure out how to make it fit with the polish bottles until I watched the youtube video on their blog. I never know there was an overcap!! I always wondered how people actually swatched the top. I just went and swatched all my caps.
