Topic Tuesday: Zoya, Julep Maven and Emi Jay...and Packer Sorrow

[travelingchinchin]

I was very upset that the Packers lost too!!!! My husband on the other hand was glad that his 49ers will not have to the Packers in Wisconsin. Now the 49ers will host the Giants this Sunday. I was soooooo sure they were going to win back to back Superbowls!!! :o(.....

[kristingehm]

@travelingchinchin I bet he is!! haha no one likes to come to Lambeau on January, much less a west coast team!! :) Sad about the lack of a back to back....oh well, next year is just around the corner! :) Kristin

[suze4]

Talk about slow shipping, I ordered the 2 Zoya polishes, too, & still haven't received them. Have yours arrived?

[kristingehm]

@suze4 I just got mine on Wednesday! I think they must have had a LOT of orders!! :) Kristin

Hi Kristin, sorry to hear about the packers. I had the same thing happen with the julep nail polish too. It was so weird. I received a bottle of zoya nail polish in kendall and I love it. It went on in one coat. I also got a nice size sample of the algentist firming face cream. I have been using day and night and I like it alot. It absorbs quickly into the skin and it not greasy at all. Every time I think about stopping birchbox they send me a good one:) Which Wen did you get?

[kristingehm]

@BRANDI389100 Hey Shawn! It is weird eh?? I don't think my ALgenist is the firming, I am going to have to check that one out! I ordered the multi pack from QVC so it has 4 different "flavors". i am so excited! I also ordered the styling creme and a few other things. I will do a haul on it maybe! Hope you are having a good week! :) Kristin

Hi Kristin, also agree with you on customer service...hey maybe with a great customer service response, you could overlook high shipping costs, and the fact it took almost one month to get to you! Anyway, the zoya sara will be great for valentines day! so sorry about the Packers :( Julie

[kristingehm]

@que292 I agree...customer service is the key! You are right I will totally wear Sara on V day!! great idea! :) Kristin

[TeresaNC1]

I love those polish colors! I'm not happy that my order from Zoya is taking forever. I did Julep a couple months but the bottle is too unstable in my opinion, even though I did really like the colors I got. Sorry about your team's loss.

[kristingehm]

@TeresaNC1 I just got my Zoya order on Wednesday...it took crazy long, but I guess that is because so many people ordered! Thanks for feeling my pain of the loss! :) Kristin

[thejools123]

No, I am sadly a Cowboys fan. We wanted the Packers to lose to the Giants and the Giants to lose to SF. Just a rivalry with our friends who are fans of those teams. Kinda crazy. But as a sports fan, I am sure you get it. LOL! Stacie xo

[kristingehm]

@thejools123 Ahh...Cowboys...even worse!! haha just kidding of course. :) And yes, I totally get it!! :) Kristin 

[RADActionJunkie]

Ugh! Darn it. Sorry to hear about the packers. Kristen, do a shelf pull when you get the monthly email from Julep. I do if I don't like what I'm to get. :) love The Truth palette on you. Looking good, girl. :)

[kristingehm]

@RADActionJunkie I will have to check out that shelf pull thing...thanks for the info honey!! :) Thank you also for the kind comments, so sweet!! :) Kristin

[erikatheicyone]

You're right. Paying shipping and handling isn't "buying" something. Hee hee

Sorry about your Packers. My husband felt that way when the Packers bounced the Bears out of it.

I will not be giving Emi Jay any of my business. Bad customer service and out of control shipping costs are absolute deal breakers for me. I can't believe that they actually had the nerve to charge you nine clams for a package that could probably ship with just a few stamps stuck to it.

[kristingehm]

@erikatheicyone Ha! I am glad you agree with my reasoning! Yeah, bad customer service is a deal breaker for me! Ug!! Thanks for feeling my pain! :) Kristin

[hhjjhh09]

Hi Kristin, Yes, WI. has been hit hard with disappointments, first the Badgers losing the Rose Bowl, now the Packers losing their chance to go to the Super Bowl. Boo-Hoo. But we did have a winning rep. for Miss America :) We have it all here! I'm loving the Julep products, esp. the nail therapy, the top coat, pomegranate products, and hand scrub. The top coat is so good, it keeps my polish on until I get sick of the color. Try to stay warm in this frigid weather, Holly

[kristingehm]

@hhjjhh09 Sister don't I know it!! Add to that the Brewers post season disappointment. Ug! I heard Miss W won, so cool!! I love the Julep hand scrub...I will be ordering some of that before I cancel..IF i cancel. :) Kristin

[MommyReporter]

Please don't let a football team determine your mood. You are such a beautiful person inside and out not to be smiling all the time. :)

[kristingehm]

@MommyReporter You are so right...I can't let football ruin my week!! Thanks for the reminder!! :) you are so sweet...thank you for the kind comment!! :) Kristin

[jackie01151]

My hubby and I were heartbroken over Sunday :( oh well that was a really tough loss-hope you are recovering as well! Great video :)

[kristingehm]

@jackie01151 Yeah...such a rough say in Lambeau!! Ug! I hope we draft well!! Thanks for watching!! :) Kristin

[mab092876]

So sorry about the packers.  I'm an eagles fan so our season basically sucked. Love the nail polishes! Especially the pink.

[kristingehm]

@mab092876 Oh yeah...you are a rough season...built up to be the dream team..such a let down. Sorry!!! :( Thanks for watching! :) Kristin

[08oceanview]

I think you should go out of your comfort zone with that purple polish!! In the summer months of course:) And welcome to my shipping frustration everytime I order something online!! Shipping to Canada is ridiculous... Price wise and time wise...

[kristingehm]

@08oceanview Oh man...I don't think I could do it! It's SO purple! lol I feel your frustration!!! ug! Happy Tuesday! :) Krisitn

[ccandyIG]

OMG I'm so excited to see more on the inglot pallette!! I have one of my own that I got when I was in Montreal and I've been wanting more but it's so hard without being able to go to a store so I'm excited to see what you've got as far as colors. Oh and sorry about the packers at least it was a good game to watch (my fiance is a Giants fan so I had to watch :( sorry)

[kristingehm]

@ccandyIG Oh good! I am glad you are interested in the inglot palette! I know, I would love to get more too...but I am in WI and the store I went too was in CA. lol I will get another palette from them at some point...I will!! haha Well your fiancee and I are no longer speaking!! lol!! :) Kristin

[ccandyIG]

@kristingehm HA! it's ok I'm a cowboys fan so there is constant tension during football season in our household lol. Ya it's a bummer that there aren't inglot stores closer, I live in the middle of NY state and it's tough because either way is a good 3+ hour drive to anywhere they sell inglot. But I'm hoping at IMATS (which in NYC is during my birthday) I'll be able to pick some more up so I'll have to let you know if your interested what I got :)

[kristingehm]

@ccandyIG For sure!! Let me know what you get from Inglot!! :) Kristin

[unieshun]

thanks for sharring

[kristingehm]

@unieshun You are so welcome!! :) Kristin

[cosmoelectra]

oh... the purple julep polish! I die! LMK if you wanna swap it for something I have tons of nudes you would love :)

[kristingehm]

@cosmoelectra Well I guess we figured this out this afternoon!! :) haha Glad it will be going to a home where it will be loved! :) Kristin

[cosmoelectra]

Sorry about your packer loss :-/ LOL.

Great vid! Love the Zoya shades! XOXOXO Have a great Tuesday.

[kristingehm]

@cosmoelectra Thanks Ana...the red Zoya is GORG! :) Kristin

[MyAuds]

Hi Kristin.

Sorry about the Packers... My team is out of for the season as well (The N.O. Saints) of course they were not 15 & 1 like your Packers but they were having a good season. Oh well there is always next year. Take care.

[kristingehm]

@MyAuds Yeah, it was a rough weekend eh?? Oh well...indeed next year will be better!! :) Kristin

[thejools123]

Sorry about your Packers... Not!  You are fun to watch. How did I miss your videos for all this time!? Stacie xo

[kristingehm]

@thejools123 ha! You must be a Giants fan eh?? Thanks so much for the kind comment, you are fun to watch too!! :) Kristin

[mschiquita4]

HI Kristin! So sorry about the Packers---my parents were even talking about it and disappointed. Your Zoya nail polishes are gorgeous....I am still waiting for mine to come. Thanks so much for another wonderful video! I hope you have a good Tuesday! Carol

[kristingehm]

@mschiquita4 *sigh* I know...but I will recover, bigger problems in the world right? What color polishes did you order? I can't even remember which ones I got on the free deal..I think they were pinks. lol Happy almost Wednesday Carol! :) Kristin

[mschiquita4]

@kristingehm HI Kristin! I ordered Jules (metallic light taupe) and Tess (metallic pink/rose), but I ordered ~2 weeks ago and it still hasn't shipped. In fact, when I checked the status today, it stated, "back-order." Oh well, no rush to get them, I guess. Hey, baseball's right around the corner, right :+D? I hope you have a great Wednesday! Carol

[kristingehm]

@mschiquita4 That is so funny, I just said today and I quote "Only one month until catchers and pitchers report!" you are reading my mind!! :) I think mine should arrive today or tomorrow...your colors sound pretty! I am going to have to check them out!! :) Kristin

[tc1009100]

You should def call Emi Jay and complain, that was a lot to pay for shipping. Hope you have a great week!

[kristingehm]

@tc1009100 I know! highway robbery!!! Hope you had a great Tuesday! :) Kristin

[1BellaBelinda]

Good morning Kristin, thanks for video, I certainly enjoyed it. Have a happy day.

[kristingehm]

@1BellaBelinda Thanks so much hon! :) Kristin

[michalsason]

Hi Kristin. nail poloshes I like: pinks and nudes. I just bought a nude one like you're wearing in this video. I'm waiting for your review on Inglot e/s. Inglot is new here.(a few weeks ago) but it's 2 hrs driving for me. Bobby brown is coming on March, and so is Rimmel.. We have Mac since 2006. . bye for now Michal.

[kristingehm]

@michalsason I was only able to get the inglot store because I was in CA on vacation, I wish I lived closer to one! I only get bobbi brown when I order on line. Thanks for watching! :) Kristin

[lovelovebeauty1]

Hi Kristin,great video. u were robbed for those hair ties! and I despise bad servicec too! Tina ;0

[kristingehm]

@lovelovebeauty1 I know right?!?! Crazy!! Thanks for watching! :) Kristin

[dkthmpsn]

Hi Kristin! Could you do a video on how you clean your makeup brushes? And how often? That would be really helpful!

[kristingehm]

@dkthmpsn That is so funny I was thinking about doing that this week and then I thought maybe no one would be interested! lol I will do that for sure!! :) Kristin

[animalrescuegeek]

Sorry about the Packers. I really thought they would go all the way. I ordered the Emi Jay through Amazon and got the super savor shipping. I got them very quickly. But it wasn't direct from Emi Jay. I do like them and the head band helps keep the stray hairs that fall out of my pony tail when I am in my kickboxing because my instructor loves to make us drop and do mountain climbs or push up, oye! She's brutal.

[kristingehm]

@animalrescuegeek I am using those for step class! I tend to steer clear of kickboxing these days! haha! I found it all too brutal! haha :) Kristin

[Jewel3482]

Able to save the S&H. Love ya!

[kristingehm]

@Jewel3482 ;) Love you too Sunshine! :) Kristin

[Jewel3482]

Kristin, just wanted to let you know that I ordered from Emi Jay the day after Lorraine put her video up and I received my order within about 5 days. Also, they have different amounts for different hair ties. I got 3 taupe ones in a package for $5.95. Plus SH. I really like the ones w/ the little sparkly bobble:) wanted to see how I like the plain ones first. I'm going to a store near me who carry them to see what they have. Try going on their site and looking for a retail location. You may be

[kristingehm]

@Jewel3482 I saw the ones with the sparkly bobble!! looks so cute! I will check out if they are sold anywhere near me, thanks for the info! :) Kristin

[ep3074]

my boyfriend was the same way all day. SO upset about the packers, that's his team. his parents live down the street from frank zombo. i was bummed saturday about the broncos. I know how you feel! lol.

anyway, i have zoya mikka and i love it! it reminds me of lincoln park at midnight.

and wow, for $9 shipping you'd think they could ship it a little faster. i like those hair ties we got in a birchbox too.

[kristingehm]

@ep3074 Wow! Cool fact about Zombo!! :) Thanks for watching! :) Krisitn

[cbaughman07]

thanks so much for your post of this video with info on the polishes!! I feel your pain with the packer loss, being a fellow Wisconsinite I was VERY upset as well and hope they get some help with a running back and linebackers so they can go further next year. still love them GO PACK!!! :D

[kristingehm]

@cbaughman07 yeah...it was a rough day eh? Here's hoping we have a good draft this year! :) Kristin
