Play! By Sephora August 2017 Play! Date – FREE Box for a Friend!

Read your email very carefully.

The main link is for Sephora. The calendar has difficulty loading though. Very limited, always by region and kind of pointless in terms of reaching a lot of subscribers due to distance.

The second, smaller link is for Sephora in JC Penney. There are a lot more options and availability albeit still not great.

The point is to RSVP for the Sephora in JC Penney as you have a better chance of finding a location closer to your home.

PLAY by Sephora is disappointing. I am sure the waitlist is open. Why would be wait for this. I cancelled after a year and it just never got better. Agreed the store help is terrible.

Really!? There’s 8 Sephora’s in Houston, and that’s not including all the JC Penney Sephora’s, and they decide to hold this event at only 1 of them?
Ofcourse it will fill up quickly and not many people will get to go. Minutes after receiving the email I opened it just to see it say there’s no available times.

I also wished they would offer these play dates at different times of the day. It sounds like it would be a pain to get off work around 5 or 6 and make the +-1 hour drive or so through Houston prime time traffic if you live in the opposite end if the selected location.

My last pet peeve with this box is the pass for the extra points, I wish they would let me use it for online purchases. I have yet to be able to use that thing since I tend to buy all my Sephora purchases online because I don’t have time to go during the weekdays and will do all I possibly can to avoid the huge crowds in malls on weekends.

One of the reasons I cancelled. Besides the fact that every time I’ve been in to my store, the girls are more interested in gossiping and checking their phones than helping anyone.

I’d have to drive all the way to LA. Not convenient.

My nearest Sephora that is having a play date is 5+ hours away… in each direction. How unhelpful. I’ve never even had a makeover at a Sephora, yet I’m a Rouge customer. Why don’t they offer these benefits at every store, including Sephoras inside JC Penneys? Honestly, no one need answer this question, I’m not interested in the logistics needed here. If this is something they want to offer, it should be offered in all stores, so that all customers can enjoy the benefits. Like someone else said, maybe a Sephora exec will see these posts.

I RSVPed, since they are FINALLY offering one in “Portland, OR”, but it is actually in Tigard and I’m not sure if I can make it on time at 7pm in a weekday :/

Whenever I click the location and then it goes to the calendar, it says that “there are no available times.” I don’t know if this is a glitch or what, but it’s unfortunate, because this is the first time I would be able to go to one of these. I got this with the available 3 locations from me to choose from.

I live In Brooklyn, NY and is incredible that this event is only at 1 location. Nuts!

Really?! That is so maddening! My Play box got lost during delivery and when I called them they said they could not resend another box because they were all out of stock and the only thing she could do was credit my $10 and give me a few bonus points. Yet here they are giving free boxes for friends. UGH!! I’m watching you Sephora & I don’t like what I’m seeing, not at all.

It would be nice to attend, but unfortunately there isn’t a Sephora anywhere near me. 🙁

Wow, this would be a most insightful and informative thread for a Sephora exec to read. They are missing significant groups in their demographics with these playdate events, and alienating many customers loyal enough to subscribe to their beauty box program.

my first box really stunk. It didn’t match my skin tone at all. I wrote medium and they sent me deep/dark. Very disappointing. No, I won’t tell my friends. Why would I want them to be equally disappointed?

Hey Sephora! You were happy to take our $$ from the first launch of play… do you really expect us to drive 4 hours away on a Thursday night to attend? At least once hold one in Austin!!

this was my first playbox and since I saw what I am getting- not delivered yet- I gotta say, I would Not want a free playbox for a friend. It contains 2 items I was seriously excited about getting and are WAY not the right colors for me. My skin color is medium and they are sending a foundation and concealer for gals with deep skin. Useless to me- why would I enlist a friend? Obviously the questionnaire I answered was a waste of my time! I don’t inform my friends about “deals” that aren’t. Extremely crappy first impression. Hope next month is better or else play falls on the chopping block. Abysmal so far…

Always 7-8 pm on a Thursday. If only my two kids under 3 didn’t have to be fed and put to bed.

I also tried to RSVP minutes after receiving the email and it said everything in my area was full

I got this invitation twice and it is useless. When I tried to register nothing was available. I tried different locations too and nothing was available. Why even bother to send the invite when nothing is available?

This is only for people who live in a few very specific areas. You would be better off trying to sign up for a free class at Sephora (if you’re interested in that sort of thing). I go to a free class at my local Sephora approximately every 2 weeks on Sunday morning. Not all Sephoras have them, but a lot more than have the Play Dates. They have topics like brows, foundation, no-makeup makeup, skincare, etc.

Yea…. I already tried to RSVP. To all 3 locations in the tri state area… it said no space available for all of them within minutes of receiving the email. 😒

Is this only in US?
