Not impressed with Julep so far

[sicilygirl]

I signed up for the Maven box when there was deal to get the first one for $0.01. I got that first box and then skipped every other month but one. I finally just cancelled. The formula wasn't good for me. Very streaky, and I didn't like the brushes.

I've heard people go both ways, some really like the formula. Hopefully you'll be one of the lucky ones! I did really enjoy the way they packaged things and the little extras they threw in on the two boxes I got, but overall it just wasn't worth it for me.

Well, technically it's only been 4 business days since the 28th because of New Years. And usually, they mean the delivery will be 2-5 days from after it's been processed.
Hope you like it when you do get it!

Where does it say 2 - 5 days? I'm looking at their website now and it says to allow 7 to 10 business days for your order to arrive. So chances are it will still arrive within that time frame. Plus, there was a holiday in there.

Also now I want to try the new shade, Jane.

It says it on my order receipt.

Oh well that's dumb of them. Fortunately it's only nail polish. Hope it arrives soon!

IMO that's poor wording and setting of expectations. It shouldn't take them this long to "process" the order, especially in this day and age.

I didn't do Julep but I ordered a handbag from ebags.com on December 28 and haven't gotten a shipping notification yet. I'm really pissed. It says processing takes 2-6 business days but that really is bullshit these days.

Anyway, as a spoiled user and abuser of Amazon Prime, I feel your pain.

That's really strange. I got my .01 order on Saturday. I ordered it on 12/31

My Julep order from the 28th also just finally shipped. Maybe they did all the $.01 orders before the real ones?

Weird!! I ordered that day & got my polishes Saturday.

My haul

I'm very happy with the polishes! I just used 2 shades to paint my nails tonight, and they're so nice. The creams are passably opaque with 1 coat, and the shimmer shift shade I used is super pretty.

One of my NY resolutions is to keep my nails painted & cuticles tended. These will keep me motivated

I thought this was going to be about mint juleps.
