Julep Mystery Box – Cupid’s Mystery Clutch Review

I’ve been working with their Maven’s customer service and I’m disappointed in their response. I ordered the clutch and was not able to add any code (not CONGRATS or COLORFUN or the one in my last box, TAKE10), even though I saw that other people were successful. I didn’t want the clutch to sell out, so I ordered it and than emailed Maven CS. They replied with “sorry, promo codes aren’t valid with the mystery boxes.” I replied and pointed out that bloggers (MSA and MommySplurge) were able to use codes, and several of your commenters were as well. When she responded again, she didn’t comment about MSA or MommySplurge being able to use a code, only “again, sorry promo codes don’t work, it even says so in the fine print.”

I’ve been a Maven for almost a year, and this is my first mystery purchase based on Liz’s review. I would think they would treat all of their Customer’s the same, so it’s irritating to say the least.

I am glad I waited to get the Mystery clutch! I got a different color lip gloss and gel eyeliner than everyone else. Lip gloss came in Splended and the gel eyeliner is in smoky plum. The polish colors were different as well. This was such a well curated box!

Be careful with the Julep lipgloss—those bottles are prone to breaking easily. I always store mine upright in a pen cup on my desk. I am too chicken to carry it in my purse as a lot of the reviews on that product mention the lipglosses breaking and ruining their bags.

I’ve just got to say, I can’t believe the staying power on that liner! I drew a cat on my toddlers hand as soon as it came, and it was still going strong 24 hours later.. after she spent an hour in the bathtub!

As good as UD, though I think I’d still rather the urban decay colors 🙂

Got mine today, wasn’t due to come until Tuesday so it was a nice surprise!

I got the clutch and two standard colors. The gloss in Splendid (so happy I didn’t get Posh again which I had gotten in another mystery bix) and the eye liner in olive.

I added on the mid level mystery add on which was sea salt spray that I’m happy to try.

I also used a code for one free polish and picked Luna, which I’ve been eeying for a month now.

My other colors:
Sandi
Queen Anne
Shari

I’m really happy with this purchase!!

I’m newer with Julep – if items don’t arrive on time, will they do anything about it?

I ordered my box by the Feb 6th deadline but it didn’t ship until Feb 10th and isn’t looking good for getting here before V-day which makes some of the polish included less usable (until next year).

I can’t seem to find the wedding duo to add to my cart? I tried searching for ‘wedding duo’ but that didn’t work. Can anyone help? I’d love to take advantage of this deal!

I ordered this box too. I got different colors but was happy. I got a red orange, a deep purple/almost black. I also got the mushroom color but do not like it. I surprisingly really liked the gold from the Congrats kit. It goes on so easy and is so pretty. I didn’t like the chevron top coat, I felt it was hard to apply and all the chevrons are settled on the bottom so it’s difficult to use. Love the little heart top coat, want a second bottle lol. I’m going to try to swap the gloss and eyeliner I got though.

Had to pick this up based on your review. This will be my first Julep purchase. This was just too good to pass up!

I got Yuki & Valentina and the same lip gloss and eye glider, but my other polishes were different. I got Margit (mushroom w/rose shimmer), Myriam (casino red creme) & Jessie (deep Kalamata creme). I would not have purchased that lip gloss color (Posh), but I wore it today and I love it! I’m really happy with this mystery box!

i am so excited to get mine this week! I ordered after your updated “Congrats” post last week, and am excited for the new glitter polishes as a fun gift for my twin 5 year old girls. I may be the only one excited about getting two “Fifi’s” because I can make both girls gift bags with those two, and a glitter heart polish for each. In the end it’s just a fun mother daughter/father thing to do, so I am so pleased. Now if I only was able to get two “clutch” bags. Haha. They’ll have to share. Wish me luck! 🙂

Thanks Liz and everyone for the “Congrats” heads up.

I waited too long – “CONGRATS” is no longer valid. 🙁

I got my box last week, before the “Congrats” promo code and still liked it. It wasn’t as great as the last one since this one was mostly nail polishes. But I got two different nail polishes that I’ve been wanting, so it was a win win for me.

I just got mine today, same box. At first I was a little disappointed to get Fifi’s (one in the congrats set) but one of my friends or female relatives will be extremely happy lol. I added on the Wish List set to give as a gift and its BEAUTIFUL I want to keep it. I also did a mystery add on and received a the sweep eyeshadow palette in neutral w/ an eyeshadow brush. Overall very excited over all my new goodies 🙂 Thanks for the review!

I ordered this box and really like it! The sparkle polishes are so pretty and I will absolutely use everything included. Am glad I took a chance on it! I had also ordered the Halloween mystery box last October and really liked that one too.

I received the exact same items and I am happy with everything. If i could complain about anything it would be receiving the Fifi shade in both they mystery bag and the congrats set but I don’t mind since one was free. I believe I have the posh gloss somewhere so I may have to gift that as well.

Just got my cupid box today. WOW! so many products for the price. Julep seems to have improved their mystery boxes. The past 2 mystery boxes I’ve gotten have been so much better then 8-12 months ago. I got the exact same products you did in your box. To me the clutch looked better when I ordered it, now that I have it, I find it just okay. Looking forward to their next mystery box.
