Got chared for my box this morning. I saw this on the spoiler discussion thread. “Possible variation box numbers are: #1850106 #1850072, #1850122 & #1850114.” No idea what’s in each box but I’m getting 1850072.

I hope so too, because I was about to cancel Sephora, but this box looks nice, if it’s true!

I am really hoping that the Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil is in this box because I am almost done using my Brow Wiz and looking to try something new. I love the brow wiz and the brow definer but I am always looking to try something new.

OMG! I never got the update of availability from Sephora but today I took a chance on subscribing…and FINALLY…after waiting for 2 months….I am subscribed! Anyone on the wait list and desperately waiting for the email update from them….stop! Just try subscribing until you get in.
Heard nothing but great things about their subscription so I cannot wait for my first box!

Yeah! You will love it. I do, no problems at all & for the price point you can’t beat it. I love perfume & there’s one every month.
Another great $10 Sub is Ipsy, if you don’t already, get that one. Something I don’t hear people talk abt w/ipsy, but is great, is their daily Special Offer. Every weekday at noon ET they put up a special product at a very discounted price & always free shipping. I grabbed one last week that was 5 different lip items…3 stick, 1 gloss, 1 liner…for just $10..shipped!! Oh & an Ipsy bag with it too! All full size product, retailed out at $88! Plus you get points for reviewing your bag, which you can use to buy product. Anyway…sorry I rambled. Hope you love your Sephora!!

Where do you go to view the daily specials?

I also think it’d be fun to receive something from Too Cool for School. Taking the theme hint literally, I think it’d be cool to receive something from the Boscia Cool Blue line. Also, maybe some eye gels. Don’t those tend to have a cooling effect?
But also thinking of some cool brands I’d like to see are Sunday Riley, Tatcha, Eve Lom, Herbivore, Lancer, Omorovicza, RMS, SK-II, and I’m sure others I’m forgetting.
I wonder if they’ll put any Coola products too. I’m personally hoping not, but if so then I’ll just give it away like I have with all of the other Coola products I’ve received. 🙂

Anyone else’s September box says it should be there… yet still isn’t delivered?

I think it depends on where you live. I recently updated my subscription mailing address to LA and got my box very quickly. Before I was living about an hour outside of LA, and it would take me foooorever to get it.

Play by Sephora definitely has one of the worst tracking systems I’ve ever seen, probably second only to Birchbox. It’s so irritating.

Mine seemed to take forever this month. I just got it this past Saturday

Same here, I just got mine on Saturday too. On another note, my ipsy seemed to take longer this month.

Nothing here, Bella. They always email me saying its on its way and it doesnt actually ship for another week to week and a half. Totally normal (for me).

I’m going to cancel. I didn’t get the Living Proof sample. I got 100 points for my missing sample. I got 4 products and perfume sample. I did like Dr Jart product. I don’t like having to buy something to get my points. I don’t need anymore makeup or skincare. I’M cutting back on subscriptions and this made my decision easy. Now I’m going to cancel Boxycharm for awhile also soon. I’m getting to much stuff I’m not using. I’m keeping Ipsy cause I always use everything I get.

If you go in store, say you’re already at the mall for something else or your sephora birthday gift, you don’t need to buy anything to redeem your points. I would save it for something bigger.

A nice surprise would be my September box. Or maybe even a tracking number ?
Hope October is a fun one!

A matte shadow? I think it is time we had a polish. I would love to see Drunk Elephant, a vitamin c product, a mask that is good for sensitive skin.
Reply
Tamara
I’m guessing Too Cool For School will make an appearance.
Other cool brands I’d love to see: Drunk Elephant, Besame (oh GAWD please!), Ouai, and – let’s face it – anything asian.

I was so excited to get the email…. Then I open and see this! Not much of a spoiler at all. This still leaves me guessing.

hopefully Sephora is on an upswing. There were a few less than desirable months there, but the August and September were wins for me. Here’s to hoping October doesn’t disappoint.
