UPDATED Play! By Sephora November 2016 Box Variation FULL SPOILERS!

I’m getting 322 but when I checked my account it shows the products that are for 977 ! Has this happened to anyone else?

I guess everything would be great… except… they gave me the box with Youthmud. I’m also seventeen years old. And wrinkles/aging is most definitely not listed on my Play Profile.

I think this is pretty blatant evidence that whatever algorithm they’re using to give people “tailored” boxes isn’t really doing it right.

For those of you who are not looking forward to bright pink lip gloss because it’s bright pink — I got mine today and it’s practically clear.

(On behalf of those of us who like bright pink, though, I wish it were pinker).

Also, I was a person who mentioned that since I’ve had Play I’ve been buying a ton of stuff at Sephora. What happens is, they send me something, either in the 3 free samples, or in a Sephora Favorites box, that I never knew I needed, and then I have to buy it. Then I get 3 free samples, see how that works… Well, this morning I tried a new free sample that is awesome, Naked Skin Corrector in Peach… it’s Urban Decay. I will probably have to buy it. (At which point I will get 3 free samples, and sometimes more stuff than that).

Just saw the Sephora lipgloss in a pretty warm nude color on Instagram. I know only certain colors are made for these deluxe sample sizes but a nude color would’v been so muh better than a hot pink color for winter.

I still haven’t received my shipping info for this month’s box. Anyone else having the same issue? I live in Florida.

How long do you usually have to wait on the waiting list? It seems as I’ve been on it for a long time! Thank you!

My husband is going to kill me. I have been SO into beauty boxes since I found out about them! So today a spot was open for Sephora Play and of course I grabbed it. I already have Allure Beauty Box, Beauty Box 5, and Birchbox. (Plus I’ve been resisting Ipsy for a while now… Its a losing battle.) Lol. To some people I’m sure that’s cheap but for me its not lol.

I really am not sure if the Sephora Play waiting list is a marketing tactic, or if its really so popular they can’t keep up. (I’m pretty sure they can keep up with demand.) Either way it worked on me. I got the open spot email at 6pm and didn’t find it until 8pm. I signed up for the open spot email ten days ago. I am sure in two hours the spots would already be full! But nooo. In my opinion its just tactical to build hype.

Here’s the thing though, I’m not even mad!!! Ten bucks a month is nothing. Especially for Sephora. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything at Sephora for ten bucks that’s worth buying. Well “played” Sephora, well PLAYed.

Got 977. Pretty upset I got the este edit instead of the caudalie product…. but whatever it’ll get used. Only thing I won’t use is lip gloss. Still a good box tho, very excited about the glamglow supermud!! and Laura mercier!!! And while I would probably prefer replica, the pop sounds like a smell I would like so fingers crossed! The previous few perfumes have been complete duds for me.

Still can’t believe they did a glow theme with no highlighter lol. Can’t wait to see what next months theme is, I hope it’s something fun for the holidays?

So underwhelmed. 🙁

If you haven’t tried Glamglow by now, you probably don’t want to. Or if you do, you don’t want to try it all that much. And a Sephora lip gloss?! Ugh!

So that means other than the original, black Glamglow, I got a lipgloss, a perfume sample, a Caudalie sample, and the Laura Mercier stick. I may use the Laura Mercier, and I am ok with that one sample. But this is hardly the cutting edge, new product spotlight box I was expecting. Where is the Benefit lippie sample that is a lipstick and lip liner in one? Or the Estee Edit turn up or down? Those are 2 great lippie choices. I’m sure I could mention plenty other non lippie options too if I bothered to look for them. But all these products are established products from the brands except for the one box that got an Estee Edit product and maybe the purple Glamglow, which I haven’t tried, but then again I didn’t get it in my box either.

Ugh! I needed to vent. I will give them through December to impress me, hoping for a holiday miracle, then I will cancel if they let me down yet again. I never would’ve paid $10 for my November box if I had known what was in it. Better to just risk missing out and resort to ebay if necessary. 🙁 🙁 🙁

Aw maaaaaan! 985 would have been ideal for me. That Caudalie moisturizer is of of my very favorites and it’s my favorite Glamglow is a tossup between the black and white. I’m getting 977.

I also kinda wish the Caviar Stick wasn’t Rosegold. It’s a good color so I understand why it was included, but it’s the usual color included in collections and stuff, so I already have two and it’s the color I use least often. Oh well.

I’m getting 977 and I’m pretty disappointed that we’re the only ones not getting the Caudalie.

977 is the ? Box.

For anyone who is curious, all box numbers other than 977 are up on Instagram which would mean that 977 is the box spoiled above with no number.
985 gets Youthmud, Caudalie, and Pop. 322 gets Gravitymud, Caudalie, and Replica.

So….does that mean box 977 was the first spoiler we saw?

I saw a comment on Reddit that supposedly reveals what the 322s are getting: the same as the 314s, except for:
– the Glamglow will be “Gravitymud”
– the perfume will be Replica By the Fireplace

To be more specific, we will be getting:
– the Glamglow in Gravitymud
– Replica “By the Fireplace” perfume
– the Sephora lip gel
– the Laura Mercier caviar stick
– the Caudalie Sorbet (a moisturizer)
– the CoverFX illuminating primer

If I DID use perfume, that sounds like a really good one. (Unfortunately, I don’t even smell them because last time I did, it gave me a migraine).

I’m getting box number ending in 977 and I have dry skin. That’s a bit weird that I’m not getting 314 with the GlamGlow Hydrating treatment. Either way I’m excited to receive my box and try out some new stuff! I love testing out new makeup especially for only 10 bucks a month. My box hasn’t shipped yet but I live all the way in Florida so that makes sense.

I get the feeling that if you put that you have combination skin, then they feel free to give you whatever (i.e. products for either dry or oily, depending on where they need people). So if you have a preference for one or the other, you might want to change from combination, even if combination is actually what you have.

I suspect someone from Sephora might read these comments, so I’d like to throw out my feelings about the variations, which are the opposite of what some other people are saying – I looove the variations – in other words, I appreciate that Sephora takes the time to try to give us something that suits our skin or hair type. I haven’t had box envy yet. Once they sent other people something I wanted to try (Dr. Jart Water Drop), and my store didn’t have it, but as of this weekend, they finally had it, and I asked for a sample of it. (I tried to swap for it, but that didn’t work out, because everybody wanted one). But if I’d wanted it that bad, I could always have bought one! And if I didn’t like it, I could have returned it. Sephora is not hard to deal with.

Also, for those who are saying they don’t like the box, even when I’m not super psyched about the particular items, I’m still happy to try them, all of them, because they’re good brands. (Except I don’t use perfume). I will try every one of those things, and a lot of them end up being useful. For instance, I used my Caudalie eye cream this morning.

Also, ever since I started subscribing to Play, I have been buying a TON more Sephora stuff. It might be a coincidence, but I am 4 dollars away from going Rouge (which has definitely never happened before!) So their marketing is clearly working on me. I don’t think I’ve bought anything they’ve sent in a Play box, per se, but it might have raised my Sephora consciousness.

Oooooh, this is exciting! I love the glam glow masks. So regardless, I’m getting one or the other. SWEET!

Anybody else checking in here often to see if the new box numbers are up? :O

I am getting box 322, wonder if it the 2nd one pictured?

I am sick of getting that pink Sephora gloss, they give that in everything! 🙁

But other than that, happy with this month! 🙂

For once, I’d be very happy with that box! I got a Replica Lazy Sunday Afternoon sample from Nords, and I liked it so I’m looking forward to smelling this one.

I’m 977 and I might cry because I’ve been wanting to test that Replica Lipstick perfume FOREVER 🙁

If anyone wants to swap for another perfume please let me know!

Not even sad that I cancelled as of last month after seeing the spoilers for November!!

I am getting 322. I hope if we get the Laura Mercier caviar stick that we also get Rose Gold.

I hope if we get Glam Glow that we get anti-aging, brightening, or moisturizing.

I hope we get the Caudalie rather than the makeup remover.

For the person who said why do we always get pink and never get any fall colors, we got a fall color last time and y’all complained it was too orange.

I like how they send out different colors of lip stuff. Some boxes seem to overdo this pinky-nude type shade on the incorrect theory that most people can wear it, but Sephora mixes it up, in my opinion. (That being said, I can wear bright pink, and even swapped for the Kimchi). They did send one that I knew there was NO WAY I could wear (it was a pale, muted pink Sephora lipstick that they sent two months ago), but I just gave it to someone who I thought would look good in that color. Hopefully, everyone’s preferred lipstick shade will get a chance to be included at one time or another.
