yep, three times.

I have it pulled a little here to make it look less big on me but the clasp and third leather wrap hangs down a lot when i wear it (about two inches of slack): 

Also, in case anyone really cant' wear the bracelet, i tried it on as a necklace just for fun and it doesn't look too bad :-p

I finally got my box yesterday.  I went ahead and bought a donut pan and made the donuts.  They turned out great!  I over filled my pan though and only got about 9 donuts instead of 12.

I'm not sure why so many had trouble is with the stylemint.  I just followed the directions on the back of the card and it worked like a charm. 

Also, my bracelet fits fine, it's a tad snug but I imagine it will stretch a little.  I'm still deciding if I want to give it as a xmas gift.  I really like it, but I also think it would make a great present. 

Overall, I liked this box better than last month's although I get good use out of the socks, nail polish and shampoo/conditioner. 

Bring on December and the Luxury Box!

As you can see the top of my wrist is about the length of the gold link chain, and even though my wrist is pretty small i am lacking a significant amount of space between the clasp even when i pull it tight to the point of cutting off my circulaion, i still cant get that bar through the hole.

And of course, you can't go wrong with letterpress thank you notes.

I had no idea there was a Homemint!! I just checked out their site and love some of their products. Now I'm tempted to trash the jewelmint order that I was just about to complete and buy something from HomeMint instead.

For those of you debating hanging onto the StyleMint code to use closer to Christmas.....just be careful. I did that with my PopUp Pantry code, then went to order last week and the code had expired!! I was so irratated because I made sure to check and see if the code had an expiration date. I wrote to them (PopUp Pantry) and I got a response back saying sorry it's expired now and an insulting offer for $5 off my order. I was so mad and disappointed as I was really excited to try it!! So make sure that the StyleMint code won't expire (even if it does not have an expiration date posted it still may expire).

I'm trying to redeem the StyleMint code and am not having any luck either. I've gone to stylemint.com/redeem and keep getting the message "unable to redeem giftcard"

Still waiting for my box...grr. I'm ready to have it!

do you guys know how to cancel the sub? i can't find the cancel option anywhere! i'll probably stick it ouf for another month cuz i want to see what december's will have, but after that i'm gonna cancel

I got my box!  Woo!  The bracelet fits me perfectly, but I do have very small wrists so I can definitely see why so many people had trouble with it fitting properly.

As for Stylemint, I had to give their customer service a call (888-459-3577) and they were super helpful and quick with getting me a code that works properly for the credit.

FYI if you are thinking of cancelling popsugar, do it before the 5th or so of December. Their policy is very confusing now with the new changes they made and they are now billing super early in the month.

I got my box on Wed! My bracelet fits nicely... a little snug but it will work. Finally had to call StyleMint's customer service and get them to issue me a new code. That was so frustrating! I ended up ordering 3 earrings from JewelMint for $14.95 since they had 50% off for Black Friday!!! Love the smell of the Lip gloss (peach) and the packaging is really cute!

Sorry? Shrug? I just looked at the back of the stylemint card that came with the box and went to the webpage designated.  I was sure to sign up for an account prior to this, maybe that was the trick?  Dunno.

Anyway, bummer your bracelet doesn't fit.  Seems like a lot of people had issues.  I just got lucky, I guess. 

I'm so frustrated, I still cant get the StyleMint code to redeem! Plus my code for buy 1 get 1 free expires today! I contacted them and they reposted the directions, which i had already stated I tried. They asked me for the code and I sent it to them. But they have yet to respond or credit it to my account.

Hey ladies!

If anyone wants to trade their bracelet for makeup, my swap list is here: http://www.makeuptalk.com/t/125912/kelseys-trade-list

I also have some nail polish and other things I would be willing to swap that aren't listed. Just send me a PM. :)

Thanks!

for the doughnut mix i have a baby cakes doughnut maker, anyone know if this will work or have you tried it?

i have a similar little doughnut maker from bella! i haven't tried it yet cause i loaned my little maker out but I'm planning on giving it a shot!! let me know if you use it how it works!! good luck!!

so as i mentioned earlier i got 2 style mint codes my chance!! i should have waited till the black friday deal to use both but thats ok cause i still really lucked out!! i ordered a jumper from the intimint site i really wanted for myself, using the code and $10 off code it was like $23 normally $60. i saved the other code just to see and used that one today and got the same jumper for my momma as well as two pairs of undies for me with the code we got PLUS a 60% off promo code for black friday first time buyers and my total was like $13!! so I'm REALLY HAPPY!! that checks off a gift for my mom!!

added the extra jump ring to the bracelet and fits perfectly!! i love these bracelets! don't know why no one really likes them. i mean they aren't the nicest thing in the world but they are practically free no? i think they'd make a great stocking stuffer though if you don't like it!

i didn't know about the $14 shipping for canvas pop, honestly probably won't be ordering it then. i can't ever stomach shipping. whats the point of the code then? you can't use two can you? like search for a free shipping code on top of the code we got?

hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!!

so can you use stylemint code for homemint?  i'm a little confused as to how this all works, thanks
 

You can use the code for any of the -mint sites: Sylemint, Beautymint, Intimint, Homemint, Shoemint, and Jewelmint. The sites are all interconnected. Kind of like how The Gap, Piperlime, Banana Republic, Old Navy, and Athleta sites are all connected.

My lip macaroon is Cassis Noir. Does anybody know what scent is that? I do not want to open something I will not like/use. Thanks!

Cassis is a Black Currant.

It should smell (taste) really nice! I think that's the best scent out of all of them btw.

At the bottom of the billing page / credit card info it says "if you want to cancel, click here".  I just checked mine.

That sounds lovely!  I received vanilla, but I already have so many balms open that I'm not going to crack the seal to sniff it quite yet.

My JewelMint order arrived already! That was super fast considering I'm in NY and they are in CA and it was Thanksgiving week!

I am impressed with presentation...each piece is packaged beautifully.  I hope you all get your codes to work and you get your "Mint" boxes quickly!

fyi, if anyone is planning to order from Jewel Mint I would stay away from getting earrings. I am usually not super sensitive to metals, but the posts are really cheap and my ears are still burning from the 2 seconds I tried them on. Just a heads up. The bracelet I ordered is great though.
