Liz, I wanted to add that I really appreciate the way you clearly illustrate the box variations with photos arranged by category (lipstick, haircare, etc.). I get overwhelmed looking at all the variations, so it really helps me…. feel box envy, but that’s not YOUR fault. 😀 😀

I wasn’t impressed with my box (498) apart from the Urban Decay liquid lippie which looks wearable for a change. But everything else I’ve gotten before from Sephora or elsewhere. The Benefit eyebrow is good & I have 2 other minis in the lightest shade I use often, but Sephora sent me the deepest shade, so I’d look like Groucho Marx if I wore this one. 😀 Also bummed there was no perfume sample. I know the problem: I’ve simply been in the sub box game too long (almost 3 years) and finding new discoveries is rare. Maybe after a few more duds like this, I’ll finally have the nerve to quit Sephora (and Allure, my only other beauty box).

i stopped looking at spoilers-and this stopped me from being upset about uneven values and envious of higher-end products…
this month, when i wanted to know what’s coming, my box-904-is one of the last to reveal!

Updated my card expiration date but they say I didn’t. Got a “goodbyes are hard but we cancelled you” email. Not sad

I cancelled for last month, came back this month and am so disappointed. Maybe if I stop looking at spoilers and just wait to open the box I will have a better reaction? IDK…..my I’m not excited at all.

I recently just signed up for “play by play ” my first box was last month August disappointing😐 … I was hoping that this month would put more of a smile on my face since I do like receiving samples of products. Also with that being said it’s nice if they look at your profile and send you products according to your skin type and conditions… With that said my September box has left me very disappointed in this whole play-by-play situation with Sephora very sad oh well it’s time to move on 😝

Hello,how do you swap? I can’t wear fuchsia lipsticks so I really want to swap the Laura “Happy” for Devacurl mask

So box 514, 051, and 555 are virtually exactly the same, except 514 and 051 have different belif creams, and 555 has a different perfume sample than 514. How boring 🙁 506 or 498 look the best so far…I’m getting 514, and most of it will be up for swap, like the Laura Mercier, Gimme Brow, etc…bad month.

So I’m box #807 and I see #902 and #704 still have yet to be unveiled. So is that all that’s left is those 3 boxes? I got confirmation today mine shipped and will be here Tuesday.

I apologise, I was trying to get the numbers right. So it still, #904, 807 and 703 left. Not many boxes. Let me know if their is more numbers I missed.

Hey Marie, you and I have the exact same profile. LOL
Wonder if we’ll get the same box.

Hm… I have a Laura Mercier lipstick already, and it’s okay, but it’s also a fuschia color. That looks a little closer to UD’s Big Bang, so maybe I’ll wear it more. (I do love Big Bang.) I really wanted to try out that UD liquid lip, though.

I hated big bang…until I used it a few times and fell in love. It seemed like all the glitter pooled at the top and once I got passed that it wasn’t so bad. It’s a beautiful pink. I want the Laura mercier because it looks like big bang without the glitter…704 where are you?

Hopefully i like box 904 Sephora play isn’t really doing it for me. My favorite thing out of last month’s bag was the perfume sample lol the concealer i got was to dark for me so that was a big bummer.

This is my box. Yep, I just unsubscribed.

Me too. Bye Play box. This is the worst box I’ve received. I have enough hair masks, I have at least 3 of the Belif moisturizers (which is currently a freebie with a $25 purchase online), the lip color is something I would never wear, and I have more than enough black eyeliners. I’ll try the Benefit if it’s the right color and I’ll wear the perfume. It’s kind of sad when the bonus perfume sample is the most exciting thing in the box.

I don’t like my box #498 or any of these variations so far. Where is the touch in sol and ciate pin up variation because I want that. I would also like to know what y’all put in your profile to get that variation. Thanks in advance. 🙂

Hi, did you find anyone to switch your box with? I was supposed to get 498 and apparently they ran out so they just sent me I think 870 or 807, I don’t know but I don’t like it! It has the touch in sol and ciate in pin up. I would love to switch with you! Let me know.

Amanda
Hey anna, no one contacted me about that but sure we can swap. The urban decay vice liquid lipstick and belif aqua bomb and the igk if you want. I have other items you might like on my page because I don’t like doing small swaps…too costly with shipping. 🙂

I have box 514 and it’s fine, definitely worth $10 to me. I feel like Sephora has so much potential but misses a little every month. For me there usually isn’t a “wow” item. I’ll use the belief and the deva (best item imo) and the lip if isn’t too bright. I would have loved the Algenist or the eye shadow. In comparison, my Ipsy bag almost always has something new/great. This month’s Ipsy was amazing. I’m still waiting for Sephora to thrill me.

I cancelled because I always get the items I don’t want and the things I do want are always tiny. BUT I re-subbed for the Deva Curl. I have every curly, wavy, frizzy box marked in my profile and if I don’t get the Deva Curl I will never do Play again. It appears to be in almost every box, so the odds should be in my favor. Their site says as long as you sign up by the 15th, you’ll get this months box. I liked that they changed that. Come on Sephora–I WANT to love you!

Box 506… I have no use for brow products so who wants to trade the divacurl for benefits brow, should be dark brown. I’ll also throw in the black eyeliner lol

I’ll trade! I’m not sure if my name takes you to the swap site but my email is

Anyone else getting box #902? I’m worried it’s going to have the Brigeo mask, which, should it be in my box, will be at least my sixth time receiving it in a subscription. (Just got it in my BoxyCharm! Ugh.) It does absolutely nothing for my hair, which is fine and oily and *not* hard to condition. I just hate the stuff.

I’ve already been sent a fuschia lip color when we got the Kat Von D. Looked terrible then and I have no hope for this one. Ugh

Box 704 with medium size tone, blonde hair and brown eyes. Aging, dullness and uneven skin tone. Fine hair that needs volume but is damaged from years of coloring and bleaching. Either Algenist would be great. I don’t need any more face masks and I’ve tried Belief. The eyeshadow OMG I love it 👌💝 and I don’t need another black eyeliner. I have no problem with the Benefit brow so those two eye makeup products in the bag would be great! The only thing I won’t like as far as hair products is Briogeo it makes my hair dry and tangled. A real lipstick 💄would be nice, I’m on liquid lip product over load. I guess I wait until my box ships because I usually get it before the spoilers are up 😁

Nooooo! I saw another box got this lip color, and I was so excited not to get it. The color is hideous, I don’t have curly hair, I’m up to my ears in black eye liner, and this box sucks. Who is getting the eye shadow? It’s beautiful!
