Okay so . . . I don't particularly love Julep. I got a few of their Maven boxes and probably only liked the formula of about 1/3 of the polishes I got. And the bottles are tiny (0.27 oz/8 ml, i.e. just a bit bigger than a Zoya mini). I don't really think it's a deal. I just want to be upfront about that.
BUT. I know lots of you bitches love Julep, so you might want to check out their warehouse sale. My illustrious sources tell me it's pretty fucking awesome. Like around $3 a bottle or less, depending what you get - I haven't scrolled through everything. Even for a small bottle, that's pretty damn good. Check it out.
Honestly, after having subscribed to the Maven program for about 7 months, I'd go as far as saying $3 is all these damn things are worth. I think out of the 18 or so colours I've accumulated, I've only used 1 more than once. The brush is bad, the bottle is bad, the formula is bad and the ones I have take forever to dry. Bleck.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I think it is criminal that they charge $14 for these tiny bottles at Sephora, etc. Some of the colors are pretty, but most of the polishes I got were so goopy and/or streaky that they were a nightmare to use. I did like the topcoat, but again it's such a small bottle that it's not worth it, especially for something that I use every time I paint my nails.
DeleteI honestly don't get the appeal, but I know that a lot of people are fans, so I wanted to give a heads up (with caveat).
