Julep Simply Bewitching - October Maven Boxes

So when asked in a facebook group yesterday or the day before if I thought the suedes would finally  be here this month in the maven boxes I said no. Considering the fast dry drops were the beauty product they did not make any sense to put with suedes and I assumed the suedes would pop up in the secret maven shop that was to open on October 1st for 5 days. Sadly, at least about the monthly maven box part I was right. 

Now why Julep would promise the suedes and not deliver for now 3 months, I have no idea. Talk about a big let down for all of us waiting with baited breath. And then, almost MORE frustrating (for me at least) is that this month, the boxes include a crackle. I run a regular exchange and the one thing on everyone's survey that seems to be consistent is that they DON'T LIKE CRACKLE! It seems to be a beauty fad that hit hard a year ago and everyone got tired of. I was never the biggest fan when it hit, and with brands like Dior taking the crackle up a step with the leather look embossed crackle, and OPI doing black spotted this seems like a giant leap BACKWARDS for Julep if you ask me. It just seems like a cop out. A completely unoriginal idea that is completely OFF trend.

I love Julep. I love the maven boxes. But I sadly think this month is a complete and total fail! Here are the boxes below and included I have stamped all the polishes that are regular standard Julep store colours that are not new to the boxes!









 And just like last month, get the entire 12 piece collection for 49.99.


Or, like months past, add up to 3 extras for 4.99 each. And note the St Patricks day Sofia from the effects collection last year has been added as an option (I guess to make it Halloween themed?)



AND REMEMBER EVERYONE!!! YOU MUST PURCHASE THIS MONTHS BOX IF YOU WANT ACCESS TO THE SECRET VIP MAVEN SHOP THAT OPENS FOR FIVE DAYS STARTING ON TH E FIRST OF OCTOBER!!!! SO IF YOU ARE AT ALL ON THE FENCE ABOUT THE BOX, MAYBE THAT WILL HELP MAKE YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!

  3. I am still wearing a crackle here or there to "freshen" up a manicure Ive been wearing or that has chipped. I DO wish they would have gone a different direction however, maybe one box with a crackle?

  4. They've had Sophia but it didn't glow in the dark before! That gives it a whole new twist.

    1. Yup. It always glowed in the dark. Mine is from the first time around and it glows!

  5. I actually love that they did crackle. It's VERY Halloween themed, and what better way than to make the crackles famous witches? The colours suit their witch counterparts perfectly, and it makes the mani look VERY autumn. Everything is becoming brittle, breaking; Why not crackle? Plus, witches CACKLE. Come on people, for once it's not about what "In" with the right crowd, it's about Julep being unique and doing something fun.
