Does anyone know if the Sephora Playdates still happen? I’ve never been able to go to one, but I haven’t received those emails in forever. Anyone still receiving those emails?

I really want the Ginger Tumeric Mask; I got box 185 and would happily trade an item or two (or three) from it if anyone is interested. I can’t find any listings for it on the swap site.

Hi everybody! I am getting box 193 and I really want box 201, 219, or 227, but really prefer box 201-and what comes in my box is the Sephora Rebel chic lipstick and makeup forever M – 500 lipstick along with the Fab turmeric mask and smashbox Duo eyeshadow in Golden Hour and the Belief eye bomb along with Flowerbomb perfume.

I got 169. I was already disappointed that my box had 2 sephora lip products while other boxes had a sephora and a high end lip product. Got it in today and the sephora lip stain is the tiniest thing ever 0.04 oz. The other sephora lippie was smaller than the hot pink MUFE lippie I received a couple months ago. It seems that if they are going to include their own products they could at least make the sample size as large as other brands. I’ve had play for 4 months and have received the same perfume twice, 2 eye creams in consecutive months, and 2 mascaras. I’ve honestly been pretty happy with it until this month but after seeing those tiny lip products made by them and the tiny eye cream I canceled. Sizes we worse than Birchbox and just have seemed to get smaller every month. I get so much more for my money with Allure and Ipsy it’s just not worth it.

Michele

I agree! It’s so not worth it. You should try boxycharm. I love my allure and ipsy is hit or miss. Why give us 2 lipsticks?? I just don’t understand why they’ve gotten so much worse then eeeeekkk…. birch box!

Desiree Harper

I agree about the tiny sizes, it’s almost a joke how small some of those tiny little lipsticks are unless you just want something to put in your pocket to wear for a couple of days. I am not loving Allure and had cancelled before but I really upped when they had the Sunday Riley full size CEO and I do like the brands at Sephora so I’m keeping the play just for the brands but I got rid of it see because I’m more into skincare than makeup because I wear mineral makeup so all the foundations and stuff doesn’t really work for me and I end up trading them, but I’m very disappointed with the box I’m going to get this time and I still cannot find where to find what box number it is I thought I found it before but now I cannot find it anywhere only the order number not that item number.

I am getting box 193 and would like to trade someone for box 201 especially, or 219 or 227. I am on the swap website as Desiree harp if anybody wants to contact me or respond to this message. Thank you

Desiree Harper

How do I start a new thread here? I can only reply when I pull up spoilers and then scroll down to comments. Thank you!

Kim

You have to go to the Sephora website not the app and its the last 3 digits of the item # underneath where is says Play by Sephora.

My Sephora rebel chic came smashed into the top of the tube, like it had been all the way up when the cap was put on. Does anyone know if their customer service will replace it?

Mine too, and such tiny samples in the last two boxes.

Desiree Harper

How do you start a new conversation? I want to ask people if they want to swap me because I am getting bugs 193 and want box 201. Thank you

Reply ButtonReply

Desiree Harper

I am not sure about Sephora but I had a problem with my Macy’s perfume sampler not spraying and they told me they didn’t replace items but would credit me the $15 in change for the Box, so you may want to send them a message and they should compensate you either way.

Mine too! Makes me think that maybe someone in the Sephora packing messed with us. Mine actually came with a foundation finger print inside, on the barral of the lipstick. Someone must have opened it with there dirty hands and twisted it up and closed it. So gross! I don’t wear used makeup!

Lynn

Mine too 🙁

If I get one more eye cream I will lose it… I have NO wrinkles. Is there any way to change which box you are getting? I don’t wear lipstick… and dark lipstick is another thing I have too many of.

Desiree Harper

I like neutral lipsticks. Find me on this wap website and if anybody wants to swap and get my box 193..I am looking for box 201, or 219 or 227. Please reply to my post if you would like to swap boxes and have one of these.

the eye creams are great to use on your neck, chest, and hands. Those are areas that can be neglected and show signs of aging first. 🙂

Michele

Thank you for that! Never thought of it that way

Lynn

I have acne… trust me no wrinkle issues here. I just spoke to customer service and there is absolutely nothing they can do about what items or box you receive.

Desiree Harper

When you do face peels it’s good to cover those areas as well if you do them at home like I do-they may charge you more if you have it done at a spa that way though. I order my peels from makeup artist’s choice.com and a sample of a face peel will last me for the entire series of 8 face peels at once a week for 8 weeks which is what you need for lasting results, if I apply it with 2 Q-tips held together so them and also Platinum skin care. Com sells them and you can usually get samples but they’re cheaper at makeup artist Choice. FYI

I would love to take ALL is eye creams. I’m an eye cream fanatic..

I have the caudalie eye cream if you want to try swapping. I am Desiree Harp on the swap website if you are on there.

Desiree

I would call Sephora headquarters in let them know if they can exclude certain items for you because some of the beauty boxes will do that like Birchbox will do that.

They won’t change anything . This is the response I got after complaining about repeats and tiny sample sizes. And I redo my play profile every month by the way. It doesn’t help.So glad I cancelled after I got their response:

Each month, our product experts curate a selection of prestige products so you don’t have to choose anything! We know beauty isn’t one-size-fits-all, so each month we choose products that will fit you best based on the information you provide in your PLAY! Profile. To complete the PLAY! Profile, simply access your PLAY! account by selecting “My Account” and then following the prompts to update your subscription information. This will help us learn more about your preferences and beauty needs!

We regret to inform that you may receive the same brands or same samples in your future boxes as the samples are selected by our PLAY! product experts. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Please continue to check back on Sephora.com for updates to PLAY!.

I’m getting box 193 and really want box 201 so if anyone wants to swap let me know. Thanks!

I got box #177 and I actually like all items. Sephora Collection Rouge Matte in Rebel Chic is very pretty berry color. My only issue is that other lipstick Sephora Cream Lip Stain is exactly the same lipstick (red (01) that was included in December 2016 box. I swatched them side by side however, and Feb 2018 version is a lighter red compared to the December 2016’s one. As for the perfume, I am sure I have received that one before too.
I guess what I am trying to say, I wish Sephora would include other items (or colors) from their brand if that’s what they decided to do. Brush would be nice or a beauty blender. Or lashes. Not the same lipsticks. Or perfumes.

I had a similar issue! I got 136 and the Rebel Chic lipstick arrived broken, received the cream shadow in the same color I did a few months ago

What color of the Lancôme eye pencil is in your box? I’m also gettin 177 and afraid it is blue….

Desiree Harper

If I’m getting what I think Mom is black. Like charcoal. But I can’t remember now because I’ve looked at a few different spoilers.

Andrea

I agree; I wish they were more creative with their offerings. Some very consistent and basic products month after month.

Desiree Harper

Skincare boxes better like Macy’s or dermstore because I wear mineral makeup so most of us Sephora since May I end up swapping. Plus they send the same stuff just different brands but the same colors too much. In one month from three different boxes I got the exact same shade of lip stain from three different makers. It gets annoying. I don’t know why they don’t pay more attention to our profiles.

Thanks so much for posting 🙂

Is there any way to tailor what boxes or kinds of products we get? Sometimes I dislike most of what’s in mine, but definitely would be interested in some products in other boxes… thanks!

Hi, I was just wondering if there was a way to see which box # I am getting every month?

Reply ButtonReply

Desiree Harper

I can’t remember this either but it is either the first three numbers or the last three numbers of your order number for the playbox if you like under your profile that your prior orders or current orders whichever is the newest. If anyone knows of his the first three numbers or the last three numbers mine art 847 at the beginning and 0 2 3 at the end

Go to your account and then click on recent orders. You have to access this information from the website and not the app. Under your order there will be an item number (not the order#). The LAST three digits is your box number. Hope this helps!

Desiree Harper

This totally helps I thought it was the order number. Thank you

Looks like they just tossed together left overs from the last couple boxes

If that top swatch is the rebel chic color, then it might be much more wearable than I thought. I thought it would be much more red than that.
