Can you believe we haven't even had a hint of spoilers for the May Sephora box until now? We've needed spoilers (or even just a hint) for a while, Sephora!
We have a FULL SPOILERS for the May 2017 Play! By Sephora box ending in #264! FYI - this was originally reported as box #321! (Thanks Cassandra!)

I’m so pale I practically glow in the dark. I wish these subs would stop sending me mountains of highlighters I can never use. Thank god for the swaps site!!

I am getting box 272 therefore getting greystone in the nudestix. I’m VERY interested in trading for the blossom if anyone is interested. that was only thing I was excited about and hoping for 🙁

Dang, I liked all of the items in this box and wanted to try them! I love the colors on the stick, liner, and plumper, and I always enjoy a good salt scrub.
I’m getting 272, hopefully it’s just as good.

I signed up again when I saw this post. I didn’t get charged or have an order for this month so I’m assuming that May is NOT what I got 🙁

I’m not mad at it. None of the items have aloe, which is great. Nothing stands out as an amazing item, but nothing sucks so it’s okay

I wonder if the lip colors shown are the ones we will be receiving? I for one am tired of all the nude lip colors in all the sub boxes, it’s spring, I want fun and sassy colors to play around with!

I had to do a double take at the bag number update, because my box has never been the first one spoiled—until this month! I’ll give the Trestique thing to my mom, since I actually already have one from an Ipsy bag. Looking forward to the rest, though, that hair scrub sounds awesome. And Sunday Riley!

Wow, was the first thing to come to my mind, then “please let this be my box!” The numbers do match up!! I hope it’s true.
I’m excited for this box mostly for the Christophe Robin (been wanting to try on myself and my 14 year old daughter too) and have been very curious about the SR ceramic slip cleanser!
Like many have expressed- not a fan of Trestique or anything like this. I have my favourite brands when it comes to highlighters (this highlighter trend is getting out of hand, but I’ve always loved Nars The Multiple-” copacobana” for cheekbones highlighting and lips and brow bone, or “south beach” as a “blush/bronzer” (I’m very pale!!). Ever since it first came out- awesome product.
I really don’t care for “chubby sticks” though with one exception- a Clinique chubby lip stick type thing ( strawberry?) from a box (allure I think it was?) last year I still use when in a rush to this day!!
I, too wonder if there’s any rhyme or reason on deciding what goes into our boxes as I have dry skin, dry hair as concerns amongst many others. 🙂
Nonetheless, from Sephora I love seeing brands like Christophe robin and Sunday Riley.
Definitely want to see more like this. There are soooo many brands- I definitely hope they begin to put in more variety of brands… and as others have stated- the Sephora brand should always be a full size IF they plan to include it.
Currently I’m left with only Play and Look Fantastic at this point, cancelled Allure (just not worth it to me) and after this month taking a break from Look Fantastic too ( love the boxes, hate the waiting!!). I’ve considered birchbox or beautyfix actually… but honestly I wish Amazon did more beauty boxes as well as Byrdie ( wasn’t that a phenomenal box- for those of you who grabbed one…?)
Such an easy addiction!! 🙂 Cheers xx

I’m not impressed at all with this box this month! I don’t need a lip plumper, I already HAVE big lips! That should be a profile question, so you have plump lips. Ugh

Aw man this is mine. Boo 4 out of 6 will be going to swap…third month in a row. May have to say goodbye to Play 🙁

Craaaaaaap! My May order shows this one. Ugh. Wasn’t so excited about last month’s either ( 575 ). I’ll use the shampoo/scrub and cleanser anyways. ITA with others that Trestique is crap.

This is my box, not too thrilled. I see a lot of people wanting the Christophe Robin Purifying scrub! I would be willing to switch once I see the spoilers for the other boxes!

I will happily trade for it. I will let you know what I get in my box since it isn’t up yet. My email is christymwheaton @ Gmail

I’m not sure if you sub to other boxes either, but I’m on the lookout for gimme brow!

Awesome let me know 🙂

Lately there have been two products that are the same in all boxes. I wonder which 2. I hope its the Sunday Riley cleanser and Christophe Robin scrub, but I bet its one of the two sticks. I also hope to attend the play party this month so I can try out the products I don’t get! It really enjoyed the play party last month with all the different masks, scrubs, cleansers, moisturizers, etc.

I have a feeling one of the same items will be the ‘Trestique Highlight & Perfect Multipurpose Stick – Maldives Luminescent’ Kinda bummed about that, I just got one as a freebie from a recent Sephora order. I really wanna try the ‘Christophe Robin Cleansing Purifying Scrub with Sea Salt.’

I’d be pleases as punch with this box, but mine is 280

I’m #280. I hope I get some good stuff. Hopefully it is as good as this box.

I have #264 too. I hope the selection is a bit different from #321. I don’t need another highlighter and I really hope that I don’t receive the Replica Beach Walk fragrance – I’ve gotten it before and was ‘meh’ about it. Besides, it would result in a couple of months in a row where I’ve received samples of fragrances already sent in Play boxes from the latter half of 2016.

I have 019? Doesn’t seem to match with anybody else who commented. I have dry skin and hair, but I’m 45. Guess I’m getting “the old lady box”. ; )

Are you sure you are looking at the item number and not the order number?
You can only find it from a browser on the Sephora web site …not in the app. Go to your order list to find the Play! order. Make sure you click into the order number hyperlink (on a desktop )or if on a mobile device it will be the “view order details” box…this will allow you to see the order details. You want the last three digits of the “item” number. It usually is next to the tiny picture of the Play bag and box and it is the last three digits of that 7 digit item number that you are looking for.
