*Spoilers* October 2013 Popsugar Must Have Box

[plumplant]

Has anyone used the stitch fix code yet? I tried using mine but its not applying the credit.

They have to "verify" it. Took a day for mine to show up. One of the clauses on the back is that you have to be a PS subscriber so I think they must verify your email with them or something.

I like the box so much more in person than I did from the spoilers! I am a terrible cook, so I'm pretty excited about the book. The rice crispy treat is amazing. I will use everything in this box except the Nyx. I liked last month's box better in concept, but I actually haven't used anything from that box. However, this box is less exciting, but I'm going to use almost all of it!

Thanks!

I got my box last night...I liked it, but was underwhelmed.  I think the boxes have been declining in quality the last couple of months, and I would rather go to someplace like TJ Maxx or Ross each month and spend $40 a month on stuff I actually LOVE, so I just canceled.  I still like the concept of popsugar, and will probably still look for spoilers each month but I think I'll ask for it as a Christmas gift or something, rather than spend the money out of pocket.  I think I would enjoy it more if I got it as a gift honestly, because then I wouldn't be mentally asking myself if it was worth it every time.

So...  If you're plus-sized, you can't use the service, *and* you can't give it to someone else.  I just sent an email to PopSugar about this.  The fact that I can't even pass it on to someone else really pisses me off.  I'm sure they will dismiss it as okay because it's a Special Extra, but after February, I had been expecting that they would have figured out that, uh, excluding a certain portion of their subscriber base due to size is not cool.  That is clearly not the case.

So I was casually checking out The Crispery...if you use code "Popsugar", you can get 15% off your order. There's a little bubble on the page that says "popsugar, click here for a special surprise". Crispycakes, come to mama!

Hi! I am brand new and I have been lurking.  I really want another stitch fix code and i have some items from the fall box that i do not want(stila palette, notebook) and I also dont want nail polish. I have so much nail polish from birchbox and now from popsugar, that i have never used.

i like this box more than i thought i would.as usual! the cookbook is cute,but i'm not a beginner so that will be gifted or ebayed.the crispy treat was so good.i cut it into thirds to save some for my daughter and my husband,yeah he didn't get his piece.ewps!i have a 17 year old daughter so we pretty much share the contents of everything. the eye shadow will go to her,as well as the brush.i'm keeping the eyeliner,the quality seemed pretty good on my hand so we'll see.i think the bracelet is really cute.i love the fact that its 18k plated and not base metal -i hate that! (looking at you rachel zoe knot ring).i love anything neon pink!my daughter loves navy so she'll get the polish.we'll share the bobby pins,even though i thought they were a little hair-pully when taking them out.gave away the stitch fix code.i still don't like the price increase, but i do begrudgingly think its worth the money every month,nyx and all.

If anyone wants to trade the stich fix code, I still have my shoptiques code /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> pm me! Traded /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[jannie135]

OMG this rice crispy is so... squishy!!! I don't know if I wanna eat it now or save it for later loll

In other news... my bracelet came broken... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The loop part is not a loop. It looks like it was heated/melted together or glued. Makes me sad.

I emailed stitch fix and they said you could use two popsugar codes... With instructions ( so it is possible, just maybe more difficult) Once I trade away my shoptiques card for another stitch fix code I will see how difficult !

Does that apply to non-PS subscribers, though?  That's the real question for me.  The fact that they verify subscriptions makes me think not.

What kind of instructions?

I apologize if this was already discussed, I did a search and didn't see it but I might have missed it.  I went to the Julep site and got a free box automatically.  Does anyone know if they'll let me redeem that free box and then a second one next month with this PopSugar code?

I got my box today. This is my first Popsuagr box and now that I have it I still have really mixed feelings about it. My girls immediatly claimed the brush and the hair pins, I was underwhelmed but they love them. I got the brown eyeliner and the blue nail polish. I will probably addd the makeup to someone's Christmas present, since I don't wear makeup. I think the girls will take the polish. The bracelet is so dainty! It's make a great gift for my friend. Not sure about the cookbook, I may keep it, since I like trying new recipies, but I'm not sure. I don't think it's a terrible box overall...but at the same time there's really nothing for me, that I really love or could use. I got this as a treat for me, not for the girls or to fill up the present box. I'm gong to have to think really hard if I want to continue this or not, especially since the last day to lock in the lower rate is the day before payday.

I am also interested in trading the shoptiques,charm and chain, and most likely stichfix code. Not exactly sure where to go for it, but at least its out there now. Also, if anybody still wants the baublebar chain---let me know. I read you guys all the time but have never posted. I only get popsugar and love with food--so I am totally new to all of this so sorry if this isn't the right place. I tried searching for trades but couldn't find anything recent. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Thanks!!

I have been so spoiled by the likes of Amazon about free shipping, that when I saw someone mention that the crispery had a discount for popsugar subscribers, I went to go use it, and when I saw that shipping was TWELVE DOLLARS, I stopped. =o( I would have bought 6 for 20$ (there was a minimum for the coupon.... essentially buy 5 get 6th free) but 6 for 32$? Nah...

The free box code from PopSugar is basically the same one they let you get free anytime already, like you already found.  You can only get one free box, and you have to pay a few dollars shipping on the free box usually.

You are signing up for a monthly subscription plan, that is $20 a month, by signing up for the free box.  The free box will ship via DHL, and takes up to 2-3 weeks to be delivered (on average).  You have to call them and cancel your account by phone (no other way of canceling is accepted), before the 20th of the month, or you need to log into your account and "skip" the monthly selection between the 20th-24th, or you will be charged the $20, even if you have not received the free box yet!

They are iffy on customer service currently, they've grown too big for their britches.  The customer service ladies are usually very nice, but they are hard to get ahold of for many people.  Often times it is long hold times to speak to somebody, takes several calls to get through.  Emails are taking a week+ to get a response back, if any at all.  But sometimes you're the lucky duck who gets through right away, so it is a gamble.

I'm not trying to sound anti Julep.  I'm a member myself.  I just wanted to give a heads up to their reality for you and anybody else not familiar with them.  SO many people are on Julep's Facebook whining and complaining about Julep being cheats, when it is really the person didn't choose to read how it works etc before handing over credit card info.

$12 for shipping!!  Holy cow that is expensive.  You can make them like the ones sent at home anyways... just add more marshmallow and make them thicker, slather some extra marshmallow on top then sprinkles, lol.

i did my daughters nails a little while ago and i thought the formula was a little gloopy and streaky.the color was gorgeous.most navies turn into an indiscriminate dark, but this was true navy after 2 normal coats.is this the standard formula?i did my nails with another brand and used the top coat and really like it!
