Does Sephora send out Spoilers? Do we know what products will be in July’s box?

I tried signing up today and I finally got in! 😀
I’m sad that my email associated with my BI account did not work, and I had to use one of my secondary emails to sign up for Play. My primary email is a Yahoo account and my secondary is a GMail account.
***Can anyone confirm that users with Yahoo accounts will be wait listed and GMail accounts will be able to sign up?***
I tried to do a dummy subscription using my husband’s email, which is a Yahoo account, and that got the wait list message. I tried another dummy subscription using another one of my GMail accounts and that worked. So just wondering if my theory holds true and may help out for those wanting to get in. 🙂

THANK YOU Liz, for posting this information. I’ve been on the waiting list since Day 1, VIB Rouge, and Sephora didn’t notify me that subs are now available. I joined, but part of me wants to hold a higher standard here. They’ve received many complaints about this and other service issues lately (it seems) but so far don’t show interest in improving. I guess there’s no need, as far as Sephora is concerned, lol. Macy’s, on the other hand, contacted me to say, “We know you’re still on the wait list. Hang tight. We’re implementing improvements and plan to open the list thereafter.” (Paraphrased)

I thought I was too late to try my luck with Sephora Play because I am just now seeing this post. I tried my primary email, didn’t work, then I went with my secondary and I got right in! I got the email that I was off the waitlist, LAST MONTH. Omg I don’t know how I didn’t notice!! But at least I was able to sign up 🙂

I got in, not with my Sephora VIB email address, nor my secondary account, but with a random email I never entered into the wait list…. So random, but I am in!

Wow Sephora what poor customer service skills you possess. Not sure why the sub is so mismanaged as their brick and mortar stores and online site is great. Why would you make customers waitlist then let others jump over them? It’s just wrong wrong. I’m glad those of you who were patiently waiting were able to get signed up and those of you who got dumped on I feel very bad for you. I have only had good experiences with Sephora(store and online) but I will never get this box after the crap they have done to people. I just did an online order and will get a deluxe sample(spend $25) and three samples also you can get samples from their store if one is around you.

I’m a VIBRouge, and I was on the waitlist less than a day. I’ve been a member for three months- great subscription for the value and the products are just gorgeous.

I wonder if someone smart in Marketing over at Sephora did this because they heard about the Birchbox news and knew there were a bunch of unhappy beauty-box-girls out there.

I’m annoyed that a secondary email worked and not the one on the waitlist. I even called and they said it was a technical glitch and couldn’t do anything except give me extra points and notify their supervisors. So I signed up with the other email and supposedly they can link it in the future.

For whatever damn reason, it let me subscribe using my mom’s email address. It has never allowed me to use mine and I put hers in on a whim.

I’ve waited so long, I don’t even want it now. No thank you Sephora. I think it’s ridiculous that I have to wait to give my money to them. The appeal is gone….

I had finally reached the billing page, and when I clicked confirm, it’s saying “There are no avialiable shipping groups for current user.” (they misspelled available, not me!) I guess Sephora doesn’t want me as a subscriber? 🙁 Or do they not ship to Las Vegas yet?

Nevermind. It worked when I tried again. Yay!

I got in!!!!!!!!!!! The law of attraction is real! The Play waitlist had just crossed my mind over the weekend. I’m so stoked that they let us all in! I just hope this doesn’t mean they water down the boxes but either way, I’m blissfully excited to get this one. This was the last one that I didn’t have access to that I wanted. Score! Thank you MSA for this post!!!!!!!!!!!!
