My Dr Jart water drop moisturizer came expired 🙁 it reads EXP 190316 which I’m assuming means expired March 19th 2016. I contacted customer service and am waiting on a reply!

MIne that I got in my Birchbox a couple months ago says 190223, so I’m thinking the year is actually first—mine would be February 23, 2019 with that reading. Dr. Jart is K-beauty, which I think puts the year first instead of the month like we Americans are often used to.

Thank you so much!

There is a post on Reddit and this is what is supposed to be in the #80 box:
Anastasia Beverly Hills brow gel-clear
Kay Von d tattoo liner-trooper
Living Proof perfect hair day night cap overnight perfector
Atelier cologne collection azur sud magnolia
Sephora collection rouge shine lipstick – 14 love spell
Ole henriksen sheer transformation

Yes this is what I received

Received the Kat Von D in my September box. This unfortunately causes an allergic reaction in my eyes.. I’ll have to throw it out! The parabens in it do not react well with me. Everything else great.. Love the Atelier Sud Magnolia.

Mary Beth

Oh, that looks cool. Maybe it was by skin type after all – I think I put down discoloration. Or maybe it’s by age.

Reply ButtonReply

Shannon

Mine still hasn’t updated my products. I’m getting the 80 and I’ve been getting this box since the very beginning, I’m sort of hoping for a little more variation. I like that box listed but I’ve already recieved the tattoo liner (which I love but I already have 3!) and the ole came in my first box. I’d love to to the dr jart so fingers crossed for that.

Cassie

My box ends in 80, and I’m getting everything except the Tory Burch and Dr. Jart. Instead, I’m getting Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation and Atelier Cologne in Sud Magnolia. My lipstick is in the shade Love Spell.

Thanks so much for letting us know!!

Cassie

You’re very welcome, Liz! I’m sad I won’t get to try Dr. Jart after reading all of the positive comments about it, but Ole Henriksen is a great brand, too.

Cassie

I’m getting the 80 box, and mine has everything except the Dr. Jart. I’m getting Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation. Also, my perfume is Atelier Cologne in Sud Magnolia.

So my number is 1530070- wonder what box this one is?

Meg, has your box shipped yet? If so, look in your account and see if the products are listed. Mine were listed this morning.

I was just running out of my last sample of Dr. Jart+ so I’m pretty excited about that. I’ve always wanted to try an ABH product AND the KVD tattoo liner. The lipstick hopefully will come in a good color. I love Living Proof, especially their perfect hair day range. And Tory Burch has some good perfumes. Not at all mad at this box!

Heads up for the Play pass, I don’t think those extra 50 points count towards becoming a VIB. I used their 3x points offer yesterday and that one only counted towards rewards.

Reply ButtonReply

Luna

I think you’re right. I Always thought VIB status was based on how much is spent, not how many points were accumulated. That would be nice if I was wrong! I accumulate far more points than $ spent there.

When I logged into my account, under Puchase History for the September Box, it shows Out of Stock but my credit card was already charged.

Does this mean I won’t be getting the September box?

Thanks for any input!

Katy

Mine says that as well. The whole page is a bit confusing really. Hopefully everything goes smoothly.

Huh, I guess I’m the only one who isn’t at all interested in this month’s selections. I have that brow gel x2, never use liquid liner, much less in black, and the rest is just meh to me. Oh well, guess I’m too picky these days but glad everyone else is so thrilled 🙂

I have loved the last 3 boxes I’ve gotten from Sephora Play! but I am disappointed that my box doesn’t come till around 26-27th each month. I haven’t gotten to stop in to use my “free play” at the store because time always runs out before I can get by there. Anyone else struggle with this?

Reply ButtonReply

Kaitlynn Marie

The pass doesn’t expire until the end of the next month. So you can use your August pass until September 30, and your September pass until October 31 etc. Hope this helped 🙂

Reply ButtonReply

Nicole

This is my first month, but when I was reading about the Play! Pass, I believe it said you have until the end of the next month to use it—so even if you don’t get your box until late in the month, you’re supposed to have the entire next month to use it.

Here’s the FAQ section that addresses the Play! Pass expiration date: http://m.sephora.com/play-faqs?icid2=play_botnav_faqs_image_mobile#playpass

Thank you!!!

I went shopping at Sephora today and the girl who worked there was so sweet. She gave me a sample size of the lipstick we are getting in the subscription. It’s so tiny and cute! I wonder if it will be the same color?

How can you tell what number box you have? I looked in my order and purchase history and I can’t find a box number

Marissa

Both the eyeliner and brow gel have parabens 🙁 the two items I wanted to love the most. Sadness. This might turn out to be another sub I cancel as well

Reply ButtonReply

Tiffany

oh what a bummer! I don’t want to cancel this one but I will if products with parabens are the norm.

Received mine today instead of With two different samples. I received Atelier Colonge in Sud Magnolia instead of Tory Burch,and instead of Dr Jart I received an Ole Hendriksen sheer transformation face cream. I actually prefer my variation .

Sharon P

I’m getting totally different stuff in my Play box. It says im getting – Ready for Liftoff by caudalie (eye lifting serum) , Keeping a Low Profile by Cancome (moisturizer), Shimmer Takes All by Make-up Forever in color I-544, Rise To The Taupe by Sephora (12 hour contouring pencil), At Long lash by Urbandecay (perversion mascara), and the perfume is Right Under Your Nose by Clean Reserve (Blonde Rose). I think I like yours better. Oh well, this is my very first Play, we will see how it goes.

I really hope I get the ABH Brow Gel in my variation. I use the Brow Wiz everyday, but I’ve never tried the brow gel. I’ve been wanted to get one recently, though, so this would be perfect to try.

i love this box but i’m getting the 080 box. hopefully, this gonna be something i like this month. i had no luck in the past couple months. i wanted to hv the other version of the box. it’s been too month i kept getting something i purchased before. i really hope i’m lucky enough to try something new this time.

How do you know what box number you’re getting?

login to sephora, click on purchase history. there’s an item number under your play box.

mine says Item 1850098 , what does that mean lol

Erika Jackson

Thank you

Melanie

Thank you!! I believe I”m getting box 80

Becca

I am getting the box number 98 so i guess it will be the same as the spoiler. This will be my third month with Play and I love it. There is always a variety of products and I love getting a new fragrance every month.

Reply ButtonReply

Jodi

I have a theory that one of the differing items might be the living proof. Dr. Jart is good for all skin types but in the spoiler video she is putting living proof on the ends of her hair. I suspect it might be the oil or split end repair.

Reply ButtonReply

Casey

I hope so! I’m getting the 80 box and listed my hair as dry, I believe. I really want to try that Dr. Jart so I hope that will be in both boxes.

Reply ButtonReply

Diana

I am so impressed with everyone’s detective skills! Mine hasn’t shipped, but looking forward to it. I wasn’t too impressed with last box. Only because it wasn’t anything I needed to try….but still love my playbox subscription altogether

Reply ButtonReply

Mary Beth

I find that theory believable. I have the 80 box and they would give me the oil. If I don’t get the overnight protector I’ll try to swap for it.

Reply ButtonReply

Jodi

Honestly, I have the overnight protector and it’s not that life changing (for me anyhow).

Teresa

I hope the *variation in the box is only different colors of the lipstick or cross my fingers any other product than the perfume. I love this box.

Reply ButtonReply

Nicole

Play! always has perfume in it. If there’s any variation there, it’ll be the specific scent you receive. From what I’ve noticed having read past month’s spoilers, it’s always the same designer. The variations they’ve had for the other products the past couple months have been same type product as far as category goes but not always the same brand for all.

Reply ButtonReply

Beth

This is my first box and every single thing is a knock out! I literally was going to buy the Kat Von D eyeliner (glad I didn’t) and I need a brow gel. I’ve got the 80 box, so hopefully there isn’t too much variation. I can’t wait to see what color the lipstick and eyeliner are!
So glad I followed this site and signed up for a subscription when I did, I’ve been on the “waiting list” for months and never received an email, only got on the sub list when it was posted on this site that they were taking subscription orders.
I have only gotten two Allure boxes, but I’m already ready to cancel, considering how much cheaper and better this one is. I need another undereye cream like a hole in the head.

alexis drury

Did you seriously already receive your box? Mine hasn’t even shipped! How do you find out which box you have?

Reply ButtonReply

Luna

I saw my box number by clicking on Order Status. My boxes are showing with a 9/1 date, when you click on the link you’ll see the item # somewhere in the middle of the page.

Renee

Don’t worry; the Allure eye cream is so tiny, it won’t clutter things too long. This was only my second Allure box and I cancelled.

Tonya

Overall, I really like the Play box. I’m not too excited about this one though. I already have four black liners from all of my subs. Black is a good staple, but I don’t wear it that often because I’m really pale. I wish that we’d get charcoal, dark brown, etc to mix it up a bit. I guess I shouldn’t complain, since I received that awesome dark plum liner last month!! I love it.

The Perfect Hair Day stuff smells soooo good! It seems like everyone loves it. I feel like it weighed my fine hair down so it wouldn’t hold a curl when I tried it before. It also darkened my hair temporarily. Has anyone else had this happen? I feel like a freak because it seems like the whole world is in love with it!

Ah, I remember the good ol’ days when I only had 4 black liners. After almost 3 years subscribing to beauty boxes, I now have a Glossybox and two Birchboxes full of just eyeliners. ?

Marissa

I’m excited for this box! I’ve always wanted to try that brow gel but have have always said “next time”! I’m so jealous that people have already gotten shipping notifications! Both Me and my mom’s boxes don’t ship/come until the very end of the month. It’s SO hard waiting!

Looks like a great box,I don’t have a lot of brow hair but I find these products work great to set the products I use to make brows.
