I was on the waiting list for awhile and finally got in earlier this year. I stayed for 2 boxes…it is a waste of money. They are only samples! If you go into Sephora they will give you samples of anything…perfume is a fav sample I ask for to try it out; face creams, hair products….you name it. So why would I pay for samples?
Not worth it for me.

I’ve been on the waitlist for months and months for this. They spam me every. single. day with emails thank to Beauty Insider, and I’ve been checking them in case it was an availability notice. Grrr. So annoying.

the subscription is open today, try it!

I wish I could say I was thrilled with this sub but I’ve had issues. For the first time ever I took in my Play card to get the extra 50 pts since I was buying some stuff. They looked at me like I was an alien. They hadn’t seen one of these cards before. I don’t live in a small town-I live in Atlanta and was at a major mall!!! So, after several attempts (it kept charging me $10 every time she scanned the card), the cashier had her manager print off an email on how to put in for the 50 bonus points with purchase. I waited for a while and they checked out everyone else. I stood there waiting like a dork. Finally they checked me out. I’ve waited over a week and a half and guess what? No bonus points. What a useless trip to the mall for nothing.
Small sample sizes are ok but sometimes they are soooo small I can’t really use them to see if they work or not. Overall I think I’m more excited to get my beauty box 5.

My experience with brick and mortar Sephoras has always been dismal. Once every couple years I think I’ll go and give them another shot, and they always give me a miserable in-store experience without fail. They never know how to handle VIB issues, and always get rude with me as if it’s my fault they don’t know how to do their job. I just stick to online shopping with them.

I tried to use mine the other day and didn’t get points either. On my receipt it just shows that it scanned and it says it’s the August play and zero dollars. I’m going to send CS an email and see what’s up.
ReplyMichelle
As a follow up, I emailed them and they added the 50 points within a few hours. ☺

I finally got in! I have literally been on the wait list for a YEAR and finally got the email. How is that some have only been on the wait list for a few months before getting in? Well, it’s a moot point now I suppose, but it doesn’t seem like the wait list works as they say it does.
Regardless, I’m SO excited to get my first box next month. It couldn’t have come at a better time since I had such a huge issue with Ipsy the past few months and canceled because of it. So now I just have Allure and Sephora. All is right with the world.

Hey I was so excited to see Sephora Play on here and tried to join. I clicked on the link it took me to the Sephora site, but I got a pop-up saying that the page does not exist? Then I tried to search Play by Sephora on their site and got nothing at all, like no wait list nothing:(
ReplyMG

ReplyBrittany
Oh my goodness, I did the SAME thing! Literally, I was in the very first group to receive it, and cancelled a few months later, only to change my mind the next month! I’m very thankful for My Subscription Addiction, and their alerts! Thanks, ladies! And WooHoo!!! 🙂

ReplyAmy
Would subscribing now get you the August or September box?
ReplyLinda
Idk, I just signed up and my account shows I’m getting the August box with the Lance me and algenist eye balm and plum eyeliner!!!! Yippy!!! I ? Play! I had it and foolishly unsubscribed when I left tonto Greece for the summer thinking I could just pick up when I came back but was wait listed and ?. But now I’m back in!!! (Sucks bc i had gotten a 6 month birchbox to hold me over thinking I’d be waiting much longer…oops)
ReplyLiz Cadman
Your first box will be the September box.
ReplyEL
Finally, thanks Liz!!!
ReplyHeather B
FINALLY!!! I’ve been waitlisted forEVER! Subscribed now. Thanks, Liz! ✨
Question: how do you get an invitation to a Play!Date?? There’s one nearby at the end of the month and I tried to RSVP (after subscribing) but it said you can only RSVP if you’ve been invited…
Anyone have any knowledge? Thanks!
ReplyKim
Call your store for an appointment. I let them know what I want to do before hand so my appointment is customized. I bring my box contents too. I am then shown the best way to use the product. They do not know what we get so they are excited to see them. Be sure to ask for samples too. If you have box envy ask about something – they gave me a few deluxe packaged samples plus made a few. They also have sample bags made up.
ReplyKiley
That’s such a great idea thank you!
Heather B
Kim, I’m referring to the Play!Date, not just an appointment. They are specific events that are held occasionally & you have to RSVP. Unfortunately, if the invite only comes in the box, I won’t be able to go to the one nearby this time. ?
Thanks for the tips, though! I will go in store & try out a new look! Sounds fun?
Barbara
you get the invitation in your box
ReplyHeather B
Nevermind. Got it. In my actual Play box… Guess I won’t be going to this one then. Bummer!
Heather B
In my Sephora account?
Aja
So excited that I got on the list!! Thanks for the heads up ladies!!! I find it funny thought that I submitted my email to the wait list and no notification came… Oh well now I know my best source for I for is this site!!

After 2 months on a waitlist I finally got in!! So excited!
ReplyPatti
Ha! You can thank me for this. I got off the phone with them a few hours ago. My card didn’t go through due to an issue with my bank misallocating my entire account balance. I updated my card info online and they still didn’t charge it and so I called today and he said they cancelled my account and I would have to go on the waitlist. Needless to say, I was none too pleased!
ReplyTheresa
Same thing happened to me, I was so angry. This box is a huge hassle!
ReplyTracy
Hallelujah! I’m all signed up. Yippee!!!!
ReplyLiz Cadman
? Yay!!!
ReplySarahB
Omg yay finally got in!! Thanks so much!
