Play! By Sephora – One Year Anniversary Exclusive Gift Update!

I live in. Columbus Ohio. I tried to sign up to go, but they had no slots available. I was in need of a few items and would have purchased them while I was there. Oh well, money saved.

I went to the one held at Memorial City Mall location (Houston) and the “goodie bags” were not handed out. They didn’t make it to the store on time. They took the names and numbers of those of us there and said they would call when they came in.

Everyone needs a blue ribbon!

Hi all! I made it to the play date in CA and a corporate marketing person was there as well. Afterwards I stayed & chatted with her. She’s making the rounds of the playdate locations. Some are rural, some cities. They are looking at the demographics, the value of them, etc. They are expanding them slowly and deciding where to go. She said at one location two sisters travel over an hour to get there and its a highlight of their month.
She had not heard of MSA (shocking!) and I told her I see all the sample choices and sometimes have box envy. . .but attending the playdate, I often think Sephora packed my box correctly. I also told her that there are comments about the bag design, contents, etc. and she should look at it for feedback. — I think if interested, you should contact sephora and tell them you’d like a play location, where you live & how far you would be willing to travel. – I got the striped bag (would have liked the other better), but someone entering the store asked about how to get it as I was leaving. . . I also got samples of products I didn’t get in my box to try. The playdate is fun!

It’s probably based on the amount of subscribers they have in those areas. My local sephora doesn’t have play dates but at the same time I am not surprised. I don’t particularly live in a place where I could see there being many subscribers. I think we should cut them some slack, they’ve only been doing this a year. I am guessing they are still trying to figure things out. There have been changes. For example, the play box was only available in certain places and eventually they opened it. There used to be only one box, then there were two variations, then 4, and it seems there will be 6 now, so I am sure they are doing their best to grow, it just takes time.

So annoying that they send reminders every month yet have never had a play date closer than 4 hours from Austin Texas. This was part of the first play box launch August 2015. Been subscribed ever since. Don’t need to know what I’m missing

went to my local sephora play date (in nyc) but didnt receive this.. is it only available to a few locations?

Yeah, wasn’t this only if you lived in middle-of-nowhere Texas or never-heard-of-it Ohio? Why don’t they have these in actual metropolitan cities?

Got the striped bag, nothing special but would’ve preferred the other bag and got to bring home samples from the box since my bix hadn’t arrive yet.

It would be nice if they would send us a bag, to those who live far from a play date store. Even if they made it…say an hour or more away.
I’m not driving 4 hours (one way) for it.

I got one of the striped bags as a promotional gift on opening day for a new Sephora that opened in my city. It’s a useful bag, but nothing special. I just added it to my stash of reusable shopping bags.

I wanted to got, but the Sephora’s this was available were to far away from home/work 🙁 really good gifts!!

I received the striped bag. It’s pretty nice. Would have been better if it had been stocked with samples!!!

I emailed Sephora Play and these invites and the monthly play dates are no good at JC Penny Sephoras, so those of us who are getting this sub box don’t get to take advantage of these perks that are “included”. Just might be another reason why their membership is declining. I was on the fence, but this sealed the deal! Why should I pay the same as those who get an added perk?!?!

Wish I had been able to go 🙁
