Play! By Sephora December 2016 SPOILERS!

I am not one to complain that often or even voice my opinion on these forums but today I can not resist. I am so disappointed in Play this month. I shop at Sephora all the time and the tiny samples we recieved are no different than what you can get when you visit the store or buy something online. Ipsy sent me a full size OFRA eyeshadow/highlight at least. Every item in Play was super small which I dont normally mind if its a really high end brand. However you sent the tiniest sample of Sephora lipstick? Come on Sephora. If Ipsy can do it so can you. I would rather pay Boxy charm $21 for 4-5 FULL size items!

Has anyone received a 244 yet,I’d like to know what we’re getting

Just got my #832 box and it was supposed to be everything in the spoiler, but they forgot my Make Up For Ever primer sample! It’s in the Playbook, but no sample in the bag! Oh well. I have emailed customer service and we’ll see what they do about it!

Just got my Playbox this morning! I have box number 832, and got what was mentioned in the spoiler. Nothing breathtaking in my view, but all things that I can use. I think I’m satisfied, but I always get more excited for things that I haven’t tried before, or that I wouldn’t normally purchase on my own! heres my unboxing: https://www.instagram.com/p/BN7iB8mBvCE/?taken-by=icecoldtears4321

816 here too! Seems like a fair amount of us and I’m surprised no spoiler for it yet!

I’m not really that thrilled with this box. Even though my box number ends in 832, I hope I get some different products or they switch my box number.

1. The cream red lip stain is fine. I’m sure it’s a lovely product. I just got a red liquid lipstick in my Ipsy box though.
2. I’m natural, I wear my hair in twist outs and an afro. A dry shampoo is not for my hair texture–it’s too drying and makes my hair feel crispy. I’ll have to give that product way away.
3. I don’t like that MUF primer. I’ve used it before and it doesn’t help my oily skin at all.

I’m cool with the BB mascara and UD all-nighter spray. The UD all-nighter spray is awesome! I’ve purchased it in the past and really liked it.

I’m an 816! So hoping for something good!

With that said, I am living for this box spoiler! I’m so surprised about the negative comments.

I LOVE Sephora Lip stain in Always Red. If you’ve never used it, the color is amazing and looks good on everyone. Just give it a try. I went in last year and a saleperson help me demo 6 different Red liquid lipsticks nad the Always Red was both the best red and the most affordable. Give it a try.

Plus who doesn’t love MUF Step 1 Skin Equalizer, one of my favorite primers. -or- UD All Nighter to lock your face
?
Might I remind you that if you were to buy the travel size Step 1 its $17 and the travel sized All Nighter its $14. I know these are slightly smaller than travel size, but for $10, the box is a steal!

Oh dang. I bought the Urban Decay De-Slick setting spray back in the summer. After a week of use my skin broke out so bad, took weeks to recover. I ended up giving it away to a less sensitive skinned friend. Has that happened to anyone else?

No, it doesn’t work like that. I think you can even scan an old one, if you haven’t used it yet. Give it a try.

Does anyone know what will be in the 096 box? Curiosity is getting the best of me 🙂

Does anyone else receive their box within a few days of the end of the month? It’s really irritating not to mention I can’t use my play pass since I only have like 2 days to use it 🙁

I’m Item 1879816 this time!

I really hope I get the primer and the setting spray in my box. I could do without the mascara (although Bobbi Brown is one of my favorite brands). Dry shampoo is never exciting to me but I’ll use it, and DryBar as a brand is great. I bet we all get the lip since it’s their brand.

Not excited about this box, even though these are good brands. It’s just the item categories that are so unexciting. I’ll eventually get around to using the mascara (I might already have that sample, but there’s no reason I can’t use two, and it might be a different Bobbi Brown). I’ll use the red lip (or at least try it – I don’t typically like that matte liquid lip stuff, but I don’t object to red). I have soooo many dry shampoos … two or one and a half years ago Beautyfix sent me my first beauty box dry shampoo, and it was either full-size or half-size, and I’ve been using it ever since. Meanwhile, all the others I’ve received from boxes have been piling up. And I don’t need to use it all that often. As for primer, I use sunscreen instead of foundation (sometimes with a little foundation on top), so primer doesn’t really work for me. And I don’t really see a need for setting spray – I’m sure primer works well for some people, and maybe some people even need setting spray, but mainly it seems like a gimmick. That said, I intend to NEVER quit Sephora PLAY.

Once again, they have sent a color that they haven’t sent before (although I’ve only been in it since July, so maybe back in the mists of time they did, so I should say, they haven’t sent recently). They are doing a good job not repeating colors.

Getting box 1880244? I’m expecting the primer or setting spray to vary. I’ll give the lip a try, but I’m so fair (Landome Ivorie 140N) I don’t think it will look well. Everything else seem great though. Excited for the perfume sample, I love this scent!

I’m 816 as well. I imagine the only variation will be the MUF primer and maybe the fragrance. Personally I’m excited for this box.

I just signed up last week when the enrollments were open (and then closed and then open again and then closed again…lol). Does anyone know if I’ll get the December box? I logged in and went to my purchases but nothing shows up for Play!…but it does say I’m really subscribed….

I’m getting #816 so hopefully it’ll be good. The UD setting spray has a $7 value so if that’s all you like then you basically got your money’s worth and just swap the rest or donate them.

If someone doesn’t like their red lip stain. . .I’ll take it 😜 Lol it’s my favorite red!

This is my first month and I’m happy they are all usable items. I have a question- do they notify you when they ship the box? All my other sub boxes ship at the very beginning of the month and sephora seems to ship much later.

I’m quite happy with these products…except the dry shampoo. Way better than my ipsy or birchbox. Can’t wait to try these samples.

I flat-out do not want a red lip product, let alone another Sephora branded product. This box really doesn’t appeal to me at all…I despise dry shampoo, red lips and the Olsen twins. I’m only slightly interested in trying the Bobbi Brown mascara and having a travel size of the All Nighter. I’m not very happy about this box.

This is the first time in 4 years of subscribing to beauty boxes where I already have every product in the box. Not “most” not 4 or 5 of the products, but literally all six of them. I suppose after 4 years, I’m at my saturation point.

I do really love the setting spray, so I’m looking forward to that. I wish it was E&J Nirvana Rose fragrance, though – I received both it and the Bourbon as a promo from Sephora, and while I liked Rose, Bourbon gave me an awful headache.

Got #832….only item I won’t use is the mascara. I got a sample of it in birchbox and it smeared on me due to oily skin and watery eyes (allergies). I’ve been wanting to try the ud all nighter so that’s my box favorite! As for the perfume samples, I like that play gives you one as a freebie every month so I don’t get a perfume as one of my 5 samples like I sometimes do in birchbox. I have asthma and can use very few perfumes so I either swap it or give it to my sister. This is my 3rd month with play and I’ve had good luck with my boxes so far compared to my birchbox and ipsy subs.

I haven’t checked to see which box I’m getting but I’d be happy with this one, except the red lip stain. I’ve wanted to try the UD setting spray for awhile! My biggest problem with Sephora is receiving damaged products and they won’t replace them! Two different months I’ve received EMPTY tubes and they just put 100 points into my account. I don’t want points I want the items replaced. In November I received TWO empty items! Same thing, just got points. I’m thinking the 3rd time will be it for me and I’ll cancel it. It’s not worth it when they have poor customer service and won’t replace the damaged items. Last month with 2 of them really frustrated me. They need to step up their CS help.

I didn’t know where to post this. I just got off the Glamour Doll Eyes wait list. I’ve been on it for a year. If anyone was on it check your email you only have 12 hours. It cost 8 dollars plus shipping so its 11.
