It just tasted flat, for lack of a better word.

ETA: My black kitty sure is interested in the paper backing that I could have sworn I tossed in the garbage can, though.
This gives me hope that I might like it, because there is something in the taste of those storebought ones that I just don't like, and I think it may be that kind of buttery flavor you mention! ha

Totally ordering more of those Krispy treats online. It seemed expensive until I realized that each one was like 4 big rice Krispy treats put together so getting 6 of them is like getting 2 dozen. I will just cut them into portions when they arrive /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just got my box today. I'm eating my crispycake, like it's my job!!!!!!! and I'm at work so I'm at my job. Anyone want to swap me their shoptiques code for my stitchfix code? or their julep duo? I want the blue polish. i just know I won't use the stitchfix code.

I got my box!  Yay!  I didn't have to wait until after Columbus day!

Honestly I don't really see where the complaints about this box are coming from, this box is great!  And I say that knowing I'll probably trade/eBay or gift 3 or 4 of these items.

Cookbook: I can't wait to get started on pouring over it right away.

NYX:  I got black eyeliner bah!  I've had three in a row between Ipsy, Glossybox & PopSugar.  Will probably trade.  I only like two of the shades in my Smokey Shadow Palette, so I'll probably trade this too.

Bracelet: LOVE. But I also wear hot pink sneakers at the gym, no question I loved it. The neon shade of headband from last month was my favorite. 

Julep: Got Coco- It Girl shade.  Certainly prefer this shade over blue.  Oxblood is my fav.

Jane Tran: Bobby pins are nice and long so they'll certainly hold my hair, but I don't use them very often.  Possibly trading, even though I do like them.

Brush: I don't brush my hair - I use a wide tooth comb after the shower and a round brush to style, saving this as a xmas gift for my long haired friend. 

Crispycake:  Wow - good, but way too marshmallow-y for me. I'm not a marshmallow gal.

Stitchfix:  LOVE!  Wonder how long it will take them to "verify"?

Anyone know what colors of the julep have been sent? I thought it was only that blue color, but I've seen people got other ones?

I received "coco", a browny color. I haven't swatched it, but I hope it's more oxblood than flat brown. 

Is that you and your daughter? She looks like she's thinking "get away from me scary lady". Funny!

I just swatched it. It's a berry red color (oxblood) no brown tones! I was kind of worried by the name coco since I didn't want a brown polish.

Excellent. I'll use it for my next pedicure.

I am a former-but-not-current subscriber interested in trading for them but I saw that StitchFix may be verifying emails with PopSugar and I would not pass that test!
I gave my Stitch Fix card to my sister, who does not subscribe to Pop Sugar, and I think she used it this morning.  She didn't mention any problem with it.

I'm guessing the reason Stitch Fix gave out the cards through Pop Sugar was to gain new customers, so I don't see why they would mind if the card was given away or trade.

I got my box yesterday and got to check everything out.

Cookbook: I like the idea of getting a cookbook but this one isn't the best match for me.  There's a lot of meat-centric recipes and the ones that aren't seem pretty simplistic.   I'll try out a couple recipes to give it a shot.

Nyx shadows: I only like two of the colors so it seems a waste to keep it.  I'll try to give it away.

Nyx liner: Boooo I got black.  I was okay with the idea of the liner when I thought it was brown but I almost never wear black liner and already have a surplus.

Gorjana bracelet: A bit of a pain to get on but it's cute and I like it.

Julep: I got Char the blue color which I didn't have so that's good but I prob would have liked Coco better.  I'm glad to get the topcoat to try it out.

Bobby pins:  I think they're cute even if a lot of people aren't fans.  I'll have to figure out how to style them as I am pretty hair incompetent.

Wet brush: It seriously looks exactly like the brush I already have down to the neon pink coloring.  I guess it's good to have a spare?

Crispycake: Not vegetarian friendly and will be given away

Stitchfix: So I was pretty excited when I saw it was a 20$ credit and the styling fee was waived but when I set up my account I didn't get the credit and when I tried to enter it again it said the code had already been used /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I don't see anything about validating that I'm a popsugar user like others have mentioned.  I sent stitch fix a message and hopefully it'll get sorted out because that's one of parts I'm most excited for.

So in all I thought it was an okay box but a lot of items didn't really work for me.  I'm on a three month subscription right now and I've got to decide if I want to extend it before the price increases.  I do love most of the stuff I get and I love the surprise in the mailbox but I'm thinking about using the money to try something new or saving more.

Hi! I did not get the box this time, but am considering a swap for the stitchfix code. I am a stitchfix customer, actually already have a fix scheduled the end of this month. Is this coupon usable for existing customers? What exactly does the code say? I have seen conflicting posts. Thanks!!

I got the PS box this month & entered the Stitchfix code.  I am an existing Stitchfix customer with a fix scheduled in November.  I went to the link listed on the card & entered the code (I logged into my Stitchfix account 1st).  Stitchfix said that it had to verify the code, but when I checked in the morning it showed a $20 credit.

 

[marybbryant]

I'm going to email Stitch Fix tonight and ask about the  code.  I'll post the reply here once I receive it.  I gave my card to my sister, I know she ordered a "fix" this morning, but I don't know if she used the card.

I wasn't thrilled with the cookbook at first.  I'm not vegetarian, but I very rarely eat meat or poultry.  The recipes for the other dishes all sound really good though!  I'm excited to try them out!  This might become one of my favorite cookbooks!

O

That rice crispie treat was probably the best one I've ever eaten. It was soooo soft and gooey!!!

OMG, I'm looking for my rice crispy treat and my husband ate it. He claims he saved me half and then thought I don't like them and finished it off. Ja#_@$$!!!!!!! But he did tell me to order the NM box on Wednesday... Not sure its a fair trade but I'll take it.

 

[meaganola]

I had to buy a box of real Rice Krispy Treats today after yesterday's disappointment. I think it's time to break into it now.

Also, I like rice crispie treats, we make them for school functions. My daughter has food allergies, so it's a good treat to make. She actually asked last night if tonight I can make mac & cheese for dinner, then again, it's the kind shaped like goldfish...it sort of creeps me out, but hopefully it tastes the same, lol.  
I want to hear what you think if it is the Goldfish brand (like the crackers) one! I bought a box and I keep meaning to try it but I am a chicken.

 

[KayEss]

So I just did the Stitch Fix style profile...and the next fix it offers is in MARCH 2014?? What?!

You are so lucky!  The rice crispy treat had too much marshmallow in it and made me feel sick to my stomach.  I WISH my husband would tell me to order a box!

I didn't like it either, also threw it away! Homemade treats are way better! I didn't like all the sprinkled either!
