Nothing says the holiday season like “Oprah’s Favorite Things.” Oprah Winfrey’s famed list is featured in the current issue of O, The Oprah Magazine as well as a 2-hour television special on OWN on November 18, and Seattle-based Julep is one of very few beauty brands featured! After a special delivery of custom-made Korean heirloom boxes, hundreds of stunning colors to choose from, and months of intense yet exciting deliberation, 12 gorgeous toxin-free nail polish shades were hand-selected by Oprah herself.
Julep is a company of women serving women – the brand’s culture, spirit and mission is truly unique and dear to Jane Park, Julep Founder and CEO. Every day the brand works to inspire others by bringing together the endearing qualities and passion of girlfriends everywhere. Being chosen for Oprah’s Favorite things is like being given approval from the ultimate girlfriend and role model – someone who has always inspired Jane – Oprah herself!
“The past few months have been an exciting and nerve-wracking as we prepared for this opportunity. We didn’t really know what to expect,” commented Jane. “We placed a significant order of these specialty sets with the chance we would be selected and featured when the issue hit stands this month. In the past few days since the Favorite Things list came out, we’ve experienced skyrocketing sales and had to buttress our website in response – our development team lovingly calls it ‘Oprahfication.’ This could be a defining pivot point for us as a growing business.”
