Play! By Sephora March 2017 SPOILERS for Boxes 477 + 444 + 469

Might be willing to part with my Algenist to right 451?

Lots of hate for the 469 box, but I have to say that I just got mine and so far I love everything in it. I haven’t tried the Glamglow or the highlighter yet, but I’m anxious to. I don’t really use highlighters, but I swatched this one and I really like it. It’s not so white or obnoxiously shiny on me that so many others seem to be. I use the eye primer already so an extra is always a welcome thing to have on hand. I tried the Atelier perfume sample and so far it’s lovely. The Ghost Oil smells wonderful and is super light on my hair. I have dry, fine flyaway hair and it took care of that without weighing it down at all. Overall, I’m very happy considering that I will use or at least try all six items in this and there wasn’t a single thing in Boxycharm that I can use at all.

Interested in swapping the Verb Oil and the Josie Maran balm for the Living Proof spray and the Bobbi Brown or MUFE eyeshadow! Email is ehood at terpmail dot umd dot edu if anyone is interested!

Got my box today even though it still shows pending on website. I was very pleased with sample sizes this month. Got box 477 and will use all except living proof spray as I have crazy, full curls so don’t need volume.

Getting box #469 – so disappointed!! I agree with someone else on how this may be the worst box ever!

Would anyone be up for a swap? I would be open to swapping the Ghost Oil, UD Primer Potion, Watt’s up, orthe cologne.

I am interested in the Living Proof or Bobbi Brown or MUFE!

My box is different. I got Vert Ghost Oil, Glamglow Glowstarter, Becca Shimmering Skin Protector, Jose Maran Argan Finishing Balm (doens’t look like much in it) and Vice Lipstick in Big Bang. My perfume sample is Atelier Cologne ins Clementine California.

I got my Sephora Play box today (#469) . I have to say I’m kind of disappointed in it 🙁 My Josie Maran sample was not even half full, bummer…

The perfume sample for the month by Atelier Cologne smells AHmazing!

I have box 469 if anyone wants to trade for 441 let me know! Email is lawdenadeli at hotmail dot com.

I get 2 play by sephora boxes , I’m really happy with the 444 one, I received today . I’m not as excited about the 469 one. I still love this sub . I don’t think they can make everyone happy all the time . The box is still a good value in my opinion.

I’m interested in swapping the UD Primer Potion and the Watts Up! I’ve had both so many times.. The perfume, too. I’m interested in the Bobbi Shadow Stick, the Living Proof spray, or the Algenist drops 🙂

I’m a bit confused as to how much Sephora really goes by your profile? I have 2 different accounts with them and set up both with completely different profiles, and ended up getting the same samples in each one. I was hoping for 2 different variations… so I just cancelled my one account, no point in keeping it.

Just received my box today, which is way earlier in the month than usual…but i was missing 2 items!! Boo..so I’ve emailed Sephora, hopefully their customer service is decent..I’m hoping for replacement products and not points. They always run out of point reward items before I am ready to order anything:(

I’m new to this box. What are some of the things you do with the bags you get each month??

I’m getting #469 and I’m not disappointed. I shop at Sephora weekly and yes I have a problem so there is always going to be repeats for me like the UD primer that I already own but if it’s something I usually use it’s great I have a travel size.

I love Glamglow products and I’m very excited to be trying this particular one, a break from the masks.

I have really been wanting to try the Josie Maran balm also. I haven’t seen great reviews on Sephora so I didn’t really want to take the plunge just to try in case it was terrible. I was actually going to ask them for a sample on my next store visit but now I don’t need to.

I’ve tried the Watts Up before and I would like to give it another go round even though I know it’s not going to compare to my main highlighters that I use currently like Anastasia, Becca and Hourglass but I will try it.

I’m also hoping that the ghost oil can help my dry tresses, fingers crossed.

But seriously Sephora I’m really OVER the Atelier colognes I think I have the entire set. Lay off on that already. All those scents you have in store and this is what you KEEP sending. not thanks!

My box 444 arrived today like a ninja – no shipping notification and if I log into my account it still says “in process.” that said it was a mostly pleasant surprise – the Argan balm is amazing, and I personally like the GlamGlow, but I think many may end up not liking it. It has a potent “herbal” fragrance, and is VERY shimmery- don’t expect a “subtle glow,” but rather that you’ll look like a high school basketball trophy.

The Bobbi Brown eye crayon is a miss for me – it’s quite similar to the caviar stick sent in November’s box, and thanks to Glossybox and former Birchboxes, I have enough rose gold eye crayons to last until the end of days….

I am 451 this time which I haven’t seen yet but I’m guessing we’ll be getting the Glamglow and the Watt’s Up. I have a couple of samples of Watt’s Up already and I don’t historically love Glamglow (even though I know I’m in the minority there) so I’m not SUPER excited about them, but it’s a great value still and with any luck, one of the other three non-perfume items will be something I love. This is still a consistently great box IMO especially considering the price point and the perks (extra points in store etc).

I cannot believe Sephora is sending out that muf shadow in the same shade. I mean Come On, Sephora is huge there’s no reason for repeats imo.

Is anyone interested in swapping the Living Proof Volume spray and the MUFE or Bobbi Brown eyeshadow for the Ghost Oil and Josie Maran balm?

Just got my box in the mail today (469) and even though I definitely had a bit of box envy looking at the spoilers I’m really loving it!

The Glamglow moisturizer is beautiful and a good size, gives a glow but doesn’t make your face a shimmery mess. It’s not one of those moisturizers that can double as a primer, but I really like it nonetheless.

Watts Up isn’t a new product but I love the quality and the size of the stick is perfect for travel/on-the-go application. Felt similarly about the UD primer potion – I use it everyday so this is the perfect size for a weekend getaway.

I use the Living Proof oil and love that, but the Verb one smells great and I’m excited to try it. Even the perfume smells great, though I was iffy about the Clementine scent.

All in all I think this is always a great value and a perfect way for me to try things out before committing to a full size product. If you’re not willing to take some risks…it might just not be the box for you? I think it’s totally unrealistic to assume you’ll like everything each month.

I’m getting box 469. I’ll probably end up putting a few things up for swap. I’ve never done it before so I’m wondering, can you put things up for swap before you even receive your box as long as you communicate that you don’t have your item yet? Or is that just a bad idea? Are there any other nuggets of wisdom an experienced swapper might have?

Also, what size is the MUFE eyeshadow?? It’s not on a paper card is it?

I’m #444 and I’m loving everything in it! Bobbi Brown is one of my favorite brands! The mascara I received in a past Sephora box has become my go to mascara, it’s amazing! I love shadow sticks, so YAY! I can’t wait to try all of the products. Definitely a win for me this month 😊

Does anyone know what shade the Bobbi brown shadow stick is in?

Im getting the 477. It is my first box so I am happy with it all. I do understand though why people would be upset if they got the same thing they got just a few months ago. I left Birchbox because of that. When I had Birchbox I got the same exact item 3 months in a roll , and got done with that really really quick.

Mine is 451. This subscription is worth it to me because of the points. Plus I have discovered some fantastic products that I probably never would have without this box. And isn’t that the purpise?

I may need to stock the swap sites for anyone getting rid of their algenist drops! Lol I think I would really love them since (based on the reviews) it seems to be a subtle more natural highlight which I prefer. I am box #444.. and overall very happy with it, but I do already have the benefit watts up, so I wish the algenist drops were in place of that.. and then it would be my perfect box! Very excited for this month!! 😆
