Play! By Sephora March 2016 Subscription Box Spoilers!

Well ladies sadly if we signed up this week we wont get this fabulous box. Here is the email I received from sephora about the box.Thank you for contacting Sephora.com.
Since credit cards are billed on the 9th of each month, we will not be able to ship our March PLAY! subscription box to clients who were unable to make the payment for that specific billing cycle. Boxes start shipping the third full week of the month.
Every box is specially curated each month, so they are not available for purchase at later dates. You can, however, purchase full-size versions of products that were featured in previous boxes on the Past Boxes page.
If we can assist you further, please contact us again by replying to this email or via phone at 1-877-SEPHORA (1-877-737-4672).
Regards,
Michael

The more I am getting to know makeup, the more I see this March box as one I would like to try. I received my email today to join. In Louisiana if that helps anyone. I did receive a confirmation email. If I get this box it may push Ipsy out.

Yeah! Ifinally reveived my invite & have been on the list from the beginning(Mid-Atlantic) area

Darn…have been on waitlist forever! Congratulations to all who got in though : )))

Super excited to get my email to subscribe today! I live in Va in the Fredericksburg area

I also got an email today!! Less than 30 mins ago to be exact!! I am so excited. I have also been waiting since day one. I live in Virginia Beach, VA. Where does everyone else live? I’m just curious to see how far they’ve branched out and opened the service!

I’ve been on the wait list since it was announced. I finally got an email today saying I could join!! I hope it’s worth the wait!

A couple of questions.
1) what exactly should I be putting into google? My results are always “no spots available, you’ve been added to the waitlist.” I googled this: Play by Sephora Join

Secondly, Anyone a subscriber from NC, (Raleigh region)? How do they know what market you’re in if you can’t get passed inputting your email? Ive been trying to subscribe, even randomly since day 1 (months ago)… 🙁

If anyone doesn’t want their box, Ill buy. Just email me. Congrats to those of you who lucked out 🙂

Have also been waiting since day 1….. and grrrrrrrrrrrrr I want a small bottle of that Beach perfume so. When I could I was collecting the tiny samples of it but now I don’t see those anywhere… i love this frangrance so much but it is very much out of my price range!

I live in Sioux City, Ia I’ve been on the wait list since Day1… After I read what the other gal said I googled “Play by Sephora Join” It automatically took me to the subscribe button I put in my credit card. Clicked the Agreement that’s it I’m in!! Ladies she’s right just check it or googled what I did. If you click the Link Liz has for some reason it’s to the Oct 2015 box & it says join Waitlist. It’s now 11:37 pm Central time & it worked just google “Play By Sephora Join” I’m FINALLY a member!! Good luck Ladies!!

I would really appreciate an invite if anyone has one to send me. I have been waiting for five month’s to get on their list. Thank you. My email is [email protected]. Thank you.

So earlier in the month I got an email from sephora saying that I needed to update my CC info for my Play! and I did. I called this morning and they told me that since I didn’t call before the 15th I wouldn’t get it this month. She gave me 250 points but the PSA is that if you get the email you really have to call not just update online. Boo! I would have traded my makeup sponge too. 🙁

Has anyone’s March box shipped yet?

So… The “lucky” people who snagged a subscription get to invite their friends (who may or may not have had interest in the box), but loyal customers that have been waiting and trying since day one are stuck begging for invites? I hate it when companies do this! People who have tried to sign up since day one should be sent boxes before anyone else. What about the old saying: “It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice”? The first few months I thought it may have been an inventory issue, but it is clear this is a “golden ticket” build-the-hype marketing FAIL. (Stern parent voice) Sephora, I’m not mad at you. I’m just…disappointed. ☹️

I was going to try to randomly invite a few of the commenters here to Play by Sephora, but the link they sent me a couple months ago no longer works (the email also mentioned only inviting friends who lived in my area, which is Austin). I love this box so much that I finally dropped Birchbox.

Just an FYI for the invites. I used 3 of my 4 invites, and when I tried to do it again for a friend, it would not let me use the link again.

I was in the wait list for approx. 2 weeks or less. While on the wait Ki st, I’d randomly check the site out, and I lucked out and was able to sign up, without ever being notified I was off the waitlist. My advice would be to randomly attempt to join.

if anyone still has an extra invite i would love one please!!!!! [email protected]

Do you have to have an “invite” to get a beauty box from Play! By Sephora or live in a certain area? Month after month i keep being told im on the waiting list!!! I am subscribed to 3 other beauty boxes and i get them every month and there’s not a “waiting list” so why is there one for Play! By Sephora? For one time, i would love to get a beauty box…Thanks so much!!!

I would love for someone to send me an invite & I promise to be nice and invite someone when I get in ♡♡♡ please send invite to [email protected]

thank you thank you thank you April

Please send me an invite too.. I’ve been waiting for this sub since it was announced :'(!!! [email protected]

This is my third box and the only one I’ve been super excited about. I normally use the original pink beauty blender and I’m looking forward to trying sephora’s sponge. I had never heard of sephora’s play box before December when they sent me an email to sign up because space was limited so I was unaware of a wait list but if they send out invites for friends again I’ll definitely send an invite to someone on the wait list

I am offically over this, I live a stone throw from D.C. and have been waitlisted since day 1 how is D.C not in yet? If its done regionally, which I am seriously starting to doubt. I’ve said this before if walmart and target can have boxes running smoothly, whywhy why can’t sephora? I am done caring, it feels like a big marketing trick to get all of us on the hook then bam! Lower quality or smaller samples. No thanks, I just wanted to try it out, sephora isnt really close to my house so its not somewhere I shop often, so I wont lose sleep at night.moving on to another sub.
