I showed box 704 as last of item number but they emailed me due to email i sent about colors wrong and tells me getting this 912??!! My screen shows 704 but 498 would have been perfect. I am a fair skin red head! How am I possibly getting gimme brow in deep and this horrible red lip color??!! This is far from my profile as ever. I will say they gave me a refund, thank God but if it keeps going like this, I will cancel. They are not looking at profiles at all. They are just throwing something in boxes. It seems everyone gets the opposite of what should get.

Two things:

– I’ve already received my box and tried the lipstick (and the brows). Did everyone get 5 for the brows? Anyway, about the lipstick … it turns out that I love the color. It suits my skintone perfectly. But … for me, it’s the kind of liquid lipstick that wears off in the middle but not around the sides and then looks weird, and you’re wondering “has it worn off in the middle yet?” It might be partially my fault because I didn’t paint it directly on but left a little “lip mask” on under it … but when I don’t do that, these tend to be too drying. Do you find most of these liquid lipsticks wear off in the center? I think all the liquid lipsticks I have are from Sephora Play! because I don’t go out and buy them. K-Dub performs well and doesn’t wear off in the middle; actually, neither does the Driver’s Seat. I guess I’ve had worse ones from other subs but those are the two I’ve kept and use and like.

Other comment – I thought they went out of their way to find good items for us this month (except for the Sephora black eye liner) and so I am kind of surprised yet not surprised at the complaints. Maybe they just went towards item types I use often (hair mask, skincare, red/dish lips, brows, more haircare instead of perfume) so that’s why I like it. But they really did pick quality brands/items, in my opinion. If I was still interested in perfume, I might be bummed at that new direction.

Mary Beth, I completely agree with you! I don’t understand why there is so much hate for this box. I’m also getting this one; it should be delivered today. I’m looking forward to getting it. I was never a red lipstick girl, but I recently tried it and love the blue-tone reds. They look really good with my dark hair. I have curly hair and love love love DevaCurl products so I can’t wait to try the hair mask. I’m looking forward to the other products, too. And I’m glad we aren’t getting a perfume sample this time. I have too much perfume as it is so I rarely even try the perfume samples. I know everyone is different, but I think the problem lies in having so many box variations. People see the varying items and get box envy. Maybe Sephora needs to just do two variations instead of five or six. Also, if someone really wants to try one of the other products, you can go to Sephora if you have one close by and get free samples on many of the items. You can swap for the others like the lipsticks. Life is just too short to complain all the time and be unhappy about everything! Sub boxes are for trying new things that you might not normally buy. Who knows, you might end up liking the products you were disappointed in getting.

Damn. Very few people like this box. LOL.

#912 happens to be my box and I feel like I keep getting the sh*t boxes, especially the last few months.

Initial reaction to this box:

Living Proof No Frizz Nourishing Oil—GTFOH with a foil packet. Seriously, though? I hate one use products in my subscription box! I don’t care if it’s a “bonus” item. Especially something I can get for *free* out of a magazine.

Fresh lotus cream—Whatever. There’s nothing particularly unique about this cream, I would have preferred the Herbivore Blue Tansy Clarity mask, it’s a better option for my skin needs: I have oily/combo skin that breaks out.

Ciaté London Liquid Velvet Moisturizing Matte Liquid Lipstick in Diva—I saw this on a YouTuber and it looked really pretty. So I don’t mind it. I got the same lipstick in the shade Pin Up last year from Ipsy, and it looked awful on me. It looked like a really dark brownish mauve shade on me. So happy I didn’t get Pin Up again.

Benefit Gimme Brow Brow—I don’t mind this. I’ve used it before. It’s great for lazy days when you need to spruce up your brows and you don’t have time to fiddle with a pencil for precision. OR just top it over your penciled-in brows.

Sephora Contour Eye Pencil 12 Hour (black)—Again, whatever. Who cares. Black eyeliner is the basic b*tch of makeup.

DevaCurl Melt into Moisture Matcha Butter Conditioning Mask—Happy about this one. THANK YOU for not sending another Dry Shampoo.

You need to get a job reviewing products. I laughed the whole time while reading your review. I needed that today on a boring Wednesday. haha

Yeah, I’m getting box 912 and am quite disappointed. Of all the other things I could have got! Whatever sephora. If not for swapping I would absolutely cancel my subscription.

When do the Play boxes usually arrive? I see they processed mine on Sept 4th, and it just says “pending”. Thank you in advance : )

Julie

I don’t usually get an update on it either until it’s day of delivery or maybe the day before. Just FYI.

Natalia

One easy way to keep track of your Play! boxes is signing up for My USPS where it notifies you of any package coming your way. It also notifies you ahead of time. Like I can already have my box and Sephora is still saying pending.

Lori F.

Mine usually arrive during the third week of the month.

This is my box and I HATE this shade of lippie on my skin tone… if anyone is getting literally any of the other lippies, do you want to trade? Please, I am begging you. I’ve never traded before but I just can’t do bright red.

Alex

Yesssss!

I have box 514 for The lippie

If anyone wants this box I would love to swap! I really wanted the Urban Decay lipstick so I’m willing to trade for a box that has it or just trade lipsticks with someone who gets it. I will consider any swaps though, this box has nothing for me and I’d love to trade it out for a box that at least has samples I would want to try!

Me, too! Ready for some more spoilers!

Jamie

This is my box. I’m glad I got the deva curl product and the fresh product, but I’m annoyed I got another stupid black eyeliner. I hate pencil eyeliners and I’ve gotten so many in my boxes. I wanted the touch in sol product really bad. I’m also disappointed with the lip color because I never wear red. I wanted the urban decay one. I usually like my play boxes, but I think having too many options per box creates disappointment, because odds are you won’t get the item you want. Especially when the have a more interesting item like the touch in sol product, but some people get a plain Sephora brand pencil liner. I think they should have a three makeup items that everyone gets and then one hair care and one skincare that depends on your needs you filled out in the quiz.

This is my box, too. I agree with you on every point and I’m also disappointed that there is no fragrance sample. I can almost pick from watching the spoiler videos the items I will receive in my box. I never get the items I like the most! As soon as I receive shipping confirmation of this one, I’m cancelling.

Robin

I agree there are too many options. It makes you feel like your box is “less than” if you don’t get what you want. I really want the Touch in Sol and will be bummed if I don’t get it. I’m box 555.

This is the major reason I quit Play! Too many variables, & none of them it would seem that worked in my favour.

I would have been somewhat happy to get this box – at least the Deva mask would have been a HUGE hit. But the skincare would not have been as I have oily/combo/acne prone skin & I don’t want teensy, no value samples of fragrance. Le sigh. It could have been swell, Play! but it was not meant to be.

Cassie

This is my box, and I’m happy! I’m glad I’m not getting another perfume sample; I have way too many that I never use. I kind of wish I’d gotten a different lip color, but I have been wearing red lipstick lately and I’ve been told it looks great on me with my dark hair. Can’t wait to try everything!

Reply ButtonReply

Nn

This is my box. I think I’m the opposite of most people — I’m happy about the lip color, indifferent toward the hair mask and unhappy with everything else. That Fresh moisturizer makes me break out and the Benefit is unnecessary for my brows. And I have three full-size and one half-used black pencil liner already. I would switch full boxes with anyone else exceot for the lip color if anyone wanted. Preferably for Herbivore and Touch in sol.

Adele

Received my box. I would rather have the perfume sample instead of a foil. The lipstick is way too bright for me, made me look like a clown and I could not wait to wipe it off. Luckily the Fresh and Deva items I like and if I did my math right are more than the cost of the box.

This is my box and I love it! I’d rather have the UD lippie, but maybe I can swap for that. Otherwise, this is a home run!

That’s the one color of lip product that I would hate to get sooo this is probably my last box

This is my box. It looks like it hasn’t shipped. But with Sephora you never know. I’m happy with half of these samples. I hope the perfume here is just missing from the picture and not actually from the box. I hate getting foil packet samples.

I’m #498 and I’m glad this isn’t my box. I think there’s a lot of good stuff in here (the Fresh and the Devacurl if that’s your hair type), but it’s totally not for me.

More than anything, I want the Blue Tansy since I think it could be good for my oil, acne-prone skin.

Reply ButtonReply

H

I’m 498 too, but have dry, sensitive skin (prone to redness, but not acne or oil.)

I’d still love the blue tansy, but how they come up w/ these box groupings is still totally lost on me 🙄

W/ you on the devacurl- I have fine, semi-wavy hair, but I think it would be a bit much. Plus I’m kind of drowning in hair masks and oils right now.

Anyway- I’d love to hear other 498’s chime in about their beauty profiles 😉

Melissa

I have fair, dry/combo, acne prone skin with concerns about fine lines and wrinkles. I have dark brown, wavy hair, but didn’t put any hair concerns because I don’t want a bunch of conditioner samples. I never blow dry my hair, or really do much with it because it looks best when I wash and go. Would love to get more samples of eye cream or face moisturizer….

Mariah

I’m 498 as well. I have fair, combo skin – don’t have acne prone skin, but have a little redness on my cheeks. I have dark semi-wavy fine hair. My hair can get a little dry on the ends, but I also have oily roots. I feel like no matter what type of hair gel/cream there is for wavy hair, it just doesn’t really do anything for me. I think the hair product I use the most is heat protectors for when I actually style my hair. I’m really curious to see what products our variation will have.

Linds

498 too with normal skin prone to acne in my beauty profile. So we have dry, normal and oily all getting the same box…strange??

Karla

Interesting I also will receive box 498 but my skin type is combination and my hair is coarse, wavy and dry. Totally different from your profiles- I wonder how they select their boxes???
