I am super, super salty about Play! right now, they cancelled my subscription without notifying me that they were having a problem processing my payment for December. I just received an email saying my subscription had been cancelled, I had to email CS to find out about the issue with my card! *Grumble * Birchbox and Ipsy were able to email me in time to receive December boxes, and Sephora, with a much-larger parent company, couldn’t?! I am so cranky about this.😬

Dianne I have Allure and I will tell you they are all over the place with items and billing. Never know when the money is coming out of my account and every other month I feel like cancelling because the items are underwhelming. I am giving them this month and then I am switching to Boxycharm, I think.
I have Sephora play and I’m unsure about it as well. Doesn’t consistently wow me.

I cancelled for now. I have Ipsy, Boxycharm. Also trying some different ones Allure and Beauty Box 5. I also usually get Birchbox unless I don’t like the next months choices. Play by Sephora is to tempting, I would go in with my points card and always go over budget. Plus a lot of the samples didn’t appeal to me. I’d give them away. I hope I like Allure and Beauty Box5. I love Ipsy and Boxycharm. I’m on the fence with Birchbox. Next months box is cute.

I also canceled wasn’t all that I expected it to be, ipsy is better at the same value, but the best in my opinion is boxycharm so that’s why I canceled both ipsy an sephora to buy boxycharm. Been waiting on spoilers usually there is at least one or two by now.

They also sent out a spoiler saying the December collection theme is “the partygoer” which I love with all the holiday parties and New Year’s Eve coming up.

It takes you to the usual page, but it specifically mentions that it’s about the video, so it’s not really misleading…just info we already knew.

Thank you. I thought it was my browser so i tried my phone. Nothing.

Ugh I literally just cancelled this month to save some money and I just re-signed up. I seriously have no will power. Although the sample sizes are on the smaller side the brands are always really good. They also usually do a pretty good job of picking the variation that is right for me. Although I wish they would stop doing variations so I wouldn’t have any FOMO.

Don’t feel bad Nicole – At least you actually canceled. I’ve been threatening to leave Play for a while, but I have MAJOR FOMO. I felt like I’d miss their big Dec/holiday bag if I canceled last month, now I’m concerned that I’ll miss Feb/Valentine’s Day if I get out now.
Yes, the samples are smaller, but I’ve gotten a couple of really decent matches in the past couple of months, so I’m stuck asking the age old question: Should I stay or should I go?
