*Spoilers* October 2013 Popsugar Must Have Box

[AshJs3]

I'm going to update my trades list tonight because I am interested in Stitch Fix codes as well!

 

[dehemmi]

I know there's a bunch of people already offering but if anyone wants to trade my StitchFix card for a Shoptiques or Gorjana card, let me know!

 

[melanie0971]

Has anyone tried to use more than one stitch fix card?

Here, I made a swap thread!

It doesn't allow you to go back and change it -- plus they also ask weight /height ratios as well as bra size -- so essentially us bigger girls will be seriously GUESSING weights/sizes just to get a .... bracelet?  i mean honestly, that's cray cray. 

I agree with you on so many levels. First, it's crazy that if you want to use the Stitch Fix card you'll have to jump through hoops. Second, that Stitch Fix locks you out if you don't fit into their level. And third, that Pop Sugar is still sending out items that are limited by size. It's particularly frustrating as you're paying for the Pop Sugar service and essentially unable to use what you've paid for. Still, if anyone wants to try and use their Stitch Fix card for accessories, using 5'6" for a height, 125 for weight, and 32B for bra size should fit you into Stitch Fix's size small. I only post this to try and help those who may want to choose this option. I really don't think it is fair that you have to, though /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I get my box today and would love to trade my Stitch Fix card for a Gorjana and Griffin coupon code

This is my first Popsugar box after signing up on September 1. I have to say that I'm in Camp Disappointment with many of the other posters. Looking at the photos of October's box, I realize that I don't need or particularly want anything in it. I was so excited when my box shipped early, but it's due to arrive today and I don't even want it:/ Looks like I'm going to have to try to get rid of the entire box.

This isn't a great start my subscription, especially after I upgraded to a year on Sunday...a day before the spoilers came out>_<! I'm such an *****. If I had have seen October's spoilers I think I would have just stayed on monthly billing, or extended for 3 months at the most. Very disappointing.

I get my box on Saturday according to Fedex so if anyone has a Gorjana code and wants to swap it for my Stitch Fix that would be great!

 

[AshJs3]

Mine hadn't updated since Monday, but it looks like it missed a scan. It's now at the last stop before it gets to me! Hopefully I get it tomorrow or Friday! Yay!

Mine breezed through Chicago and is in Wisconsin as of this morning. Next stop my post office. It says Saturday but maybe earlier unless WI holds it hostage like Jersey did.

Lucky! All mine says is it left Chicago. So who knows where it's at now. Lmao. Chicago is less than 4 hours away from me, so I hope it won't take too long! I'm in WI.

So in exploring the Stitchfix website, I've gathered that this is how it works. (Please correct me if I'm wrong!):

You pay $20 for them to send you about 5 items. If you don't like any/they don't fit you send them back for free (but you still pay the $20 for the "stylist" service). If you do like them and want to keep them, you have to then pay them for each item which they say are about $60 each. So you have to pay them like $300 (obviously an estimate) to keep what they sent you. Well, with 20% off if you keep everything.

So in the end you're paying for the clothes, plus $20 for them to send the clothes to you? Wut.

I've looked at reviews for the service/clothing and it all looks like clothes/accessories/brands you can get at Marshalls or TJ Maxx. Don't get me wrong - I love those stores - but I can go to those stores and pick clothes out for way cheaper and NOT pay $20 extra to do so.

I hope I am misunderstanding how this works because the way I look at it now makes it seem completely crazy.

One thing to add... I think the $20 gets applied to the purchase of what you decide to keep.

Yes, the styling fee is applied to your purchase. It's definitely not meant to be a cheap way to get clothes. It's a way to discover new things you might never have considered and have them in your home to try them with other things in your wardrobe.

This is exactly why I don't do stitchfix.

I got mine yesterday!!!

I am mostly excited about the Julep color and top coat. There is a Nyx eye palette that is lovely and I can't wait to play with although I am a little intimidated by new colors. There is a Halloween Rice Krispy treat, a Nyx liquid eyeliner, a really beautiful cook book by Jessica Seinfeld, Jane Tran BobbyPins, a Wet brush and a $20 gift card to Stitch Fix

There was also supposed to be a Gordana bracelet but mine was missing. I emailed them about the missing item and hope it gets replaced.

Question... What is a wet brush? Is it just for brushing wet hair?

 

[jesemiaud]

My box was delivered today. I got the shade Coco for my nail polish...which is great since all of the other colors I've seen unboxed would have been dupes for me. Most aggravating though is that my eyeliner was BLACK! Really? I have now received a black eyeliner from every sub i belong to. sigh...oh well...my daughter snagged it up right quick anyway.

Yes. It is like a large paddle brush with flexible little prongs to brush wet hair. I already have one and love it so I will probably gift mine

I just got my box, the first ever! And for the most part I'm okay with it. Love the cookbook! But the bracelet!! It's so small! And I have pretty thin wrists. Does it fit anyone? My 3 yr. old niece might be able to wear it.
