Play! By Sephora January 2017 Box #468 SPOILERS

I also received the #450 box with the foundation samples that are too dark. Before I pass it along, does anyone know if the date 20150429 is the expiration date or the date it was manufactured? Thanks!

I just received my box and I am back to my initial enthusiasm! They have, for the first time, sent me five product categories that I use regularly – moisturizer, cleanser, makeup with physical sunscreen, hair mask, and lipstick/balm. Maybe they’ll all work out and maybe they won’t, but the category choice couldn’t be more perfect.

Got the box ending in 476 today.

Items include:
– Tarte Frxxxtion Stick
– Tony Burch Love Relentlessly Perfume
– Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream
– IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ in Medium
– Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey
– OUAI Treatment Masque

I am very happy with this box! I have tried the Drunk Elephant already and love it! I own the IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream as well, so this will be perfect for a backup. I hate lipsticks, but I love the Clinique Lipstick! Very wearable to work and not these crazy colors other boxes have been coming out with like *cough*BoxyCharm*cough*. I am super excited about trying out OUAI and Tarte! The perfume smells nice too.

I will get 476 today and share later today.

I enjoy these subscription box services. They’re a lot of fun. But I hate that Play by Sephora doesn’t allow you a sneak peek like Birchbox and Ipsy. With those subscriptions, you have an option to look at what you’re getting or to skip a sneak peek. It kind of drives me bonkers that I don’t know what I’m getting in my Sephora box. LOL. I’m actually more disappointed when I don’t know what I’m getting in and I get something I don’t like 🙁 At least with a sneak peek, I have time to let the disappointment set. Don’t mind my rant. I’m just impatient! 🙂

So excited! My box is 450, but still no ttracking info. Maybe it will just show up😀

Unverified, but today I got some intel that the box # ending in 450 is 5/6 the same as 468, and includes the Farmacy Honey Potion instead of the Youth to the People Kale+Spinach hyaluronic acid cream.

I am fair skinned and I was concerned about these colors but I saw a swatch of the sample on Reddit and while 106 looks like there’s no possible way, 104 looks pretty light. Hard to tell on a different person but even looks like I could probably use it (especially since I have lighter than my skin tone concealer) and I am normally the lightest foundation color in any brand. I’m mad that we are getting 104 and 106 and not 102 and 104. 102 on the website sounds perfect for me. Hopefully it works or I will probably email customer service. No point in pushing us to update our profiles and then ignore it….

I’m box 435 (fair skin) I get my box tomorrow. If spoilers aren’t posted before then I will email Liz my box contents

I’m happy to know I likely won’t be getting an AmorePacific cushion. It may not be everyone’s exact match but if you’re within the shade range that the brand offers, you can at least test the consistency and coverage and purchase a full size that will work better.
If they gave me (deep skin tone) one of those products I would be upset because AmorePacific doesn’t even offer shades past tan so I would have ZERO use for it.

Also, cushion compacts are notoriously different looking on the cushion vs the actual foundation in it. I think some people expecting the product to be “too dark” will be surprised if they actually try it or even just look at the shade indicator picture on sephora’s product page. Just saying.

I’m getting box 435 and it should be arriving today!

This box is mine. I’m confused as to how I’m getting something that’s tan when I have fair skin. My profile has said fair since September when I signed up and when Liz mentioned that they would be playing with skin tones I double checked to make sure it was correct. If this is the fair skinned box than I’m so glad I picked fair and not light because how knows how dark those products will be. The rest of the box seems okay. I personally prefer boxes that are heavier on makeup.

I’m also box 468. I just got the Tory Burch perfume roller ball as a 100 point perk. It’s extremely sweet, but I like it and I’m happy to get more. I’ll enjoy everything in the box.

This is the box I will be getting. Pretty happy overall! I’m not sure about the Kale+Spinach cream, the reviews are pretty mixed and I think the cushion compact will be too dark for me. I’d rather not have lipsticks that need constant reapplying, but it sure has great reviews.

I will try it all! Mine has shipped and looks like it’ll be here Thursday!

I’m a little squicked out by the Tarte Frxxxtion stick. It just can’t be sanitary to glide it all over a dirty face, getting it all wet, then put the cap back on it to let it sit damp and dark and warm until the next use. ::shivers::

Aside from the cushion compact colors sounding like they’re going to be too dark (and counter to my profile) everything else looks really good. Very excited to try the Tarte cleansing stick and I’d forgotten how much I enjoy the Black Honey lipstick. Will be fun to have that around again.

Am I the only one who still doesn’t even have an item number?! How odd…

I am getting this box! I loathe the cushion stuff because it’s no where near light enough for me but every thing else looks great! I want to try the tarte and clinique stick so I’m happy with the this box! The kale stuff looks awesome so that will be a great!

Looks so much better than my birchbox. I’m excited!!

I selected fair in my profile and these seem too dark for me and they are cool toned, while I’m warm toned. I selected fair because I’ve always assumed porcelain meant cool toned pale skin and fair is more yellow/warm toned. Maybe I’m wrong and should switch it to porcelain?

How do you find out what # box you have, I don’t know how to find mine. Like this post says spoilers for #468, but I don’t know what my number variation is, the only thing I figured is maybe the last 3 of my order number, but not sure.

Does the “Flash” 2 day shipping program includes Play? I’m a very impatient person with a mailman who consistently delivers to the wrong address…a terrible combo. I’m new to Play and haven’t received any tracking yet. My other three subs are excellent about notices.

This is my box and the skin stuff is all on point but the cushion colors…um I am literally the absolute palest color for most face makeup. If I’m not the palest, then they typically don’t have a good color match for me. So I guess I’m confused about that one, but I like everything else a lot.

i have 476 – I really would love to try that kale cream….

This is me! (hasn’t shipped yet…) The foundation isn’t likely to work for me since I am fair but warm toned, and I already have several Black Honey lipsticks I seldom wear. The other products are new to me, look useful and fun and I am happy to try them.
