i would absolutely not swap for one of these from jerks who bought multiples just to swap a $20 item for $100+. Yes, you are free to buy as many as you want and do what you want with them as I am free to think you are a jerk.

I agree. I do feel it’s totally a jerk move to turn around buy multiples to make a profit. There’s alot of people who genuinely wanted to try the items. So sad and inconsiderate. Says alot about the person they are.

the funny thing is we pay 10-21 dollars for boxes and swap everything for retail value…I personally only bought one edition II, and feel sephora should have put a limit as they do for the regular play box, but this comment…not necessary, I’m surprised it went through….

So, I’m pretty upset right now. I placed an order for the 1st edition yesterday morning and I just got an email from Sephora saying that they were out of stock and so were canceling my order. It’s be nice if maybe from now on, they made a purchase limit.

I am soo sad I purchase these items on the 27 I am A VIP member and I just got an email that they are out of stock 😢 I can’t believe it I am so upset. How can this happened. I agree why do people buy more than one item just to swap. Leave some for people who want to use them.

La Mer – Soft cream
Amore pacific – vintage single vintage extract essence ( I am the most excited about this)
YSL – eclat Primer
Givenchy -Le Rouge perfect pink lip balm
Atelier cologne – Santal carmin (spray)
Armani -ecstasy shine -400 (red)

I just saw it the sizes are huge! The amore pacific essence is 1 oz is that full size? And the perfume is really big too maybe full size?!?

Jen
They are all sample sizes but they are nice sizes! The little pouch thing it came in is really cute. The perfume is .14 oz, la Mer is .24 and I did see it posted below the the amore pacific is 1 oz it is in a really nice bottle too! That alone was worth the price, hopefully I like it.
Tara
I just checked the amore full size is 4 oz and $145! So the 1 oz is worth about $36.

Wow, these sold out fast. I didn’t expect that with there being 2 different versions. I had no problem getting the last one a couple months ago so it didn’t occur to me to race to the computer this morning.
It seems to me that if they had such a limited number, they should have had a purchase limit. I wouldn’t have minded having a second one for a gift, but it doesn’t seem fair to allow individuals to purchase large numbers of these, leaving other customers out in the cold.
I hope everyone enjoys theirs! It’s always fun to try something you’d never pay full price for.

It has been posted on the first MSA thread for this and I think on one of the Sephora reviews that the boxes are supposed to be restocked per Customer Service. I’m wondering if this is actually true because I don’t think the first two were restocked. There are several 1 star reviews for the box due to it being OOS. I am just a BI so I never stood a chance to actually purchase it. I agree with others that there should be some kind of limit or they should have reserved so much stock for each day (like this idea best since I’m just a BI but it eliminates the perk of first access) I’m trying to hope that extras were bought for Christmas gifts rather than selling for 3x the price on eBay, but I have my doubts. I have swapped my best stuff to get the first two. Something about being excluded from purchasing drives me wild. I was Rouge when they first rolled it out, and all I got was that lousy mini Bite lipstick and a special colored BI card in a box lol. I am glad there are real incentives for Rouge now with first access to these bags, but I am still seeing Rouge members upset because they waited too long (n I also don’t feel like they waited very long) or their orders are now canceled (that is probably the worst). I initially thought Edition 1 was what I wanted but Edition 2 with the Amore seems to be better for me. My swap link is attached to my name.

It’s definitely not fair to let someone buy more than 1 or 2. Because there was no limit, alot of people probably bought entirely too many. Like a other poster did…9…really? I guess if it’s allowed ok but hopefully next time they won’t allow it.

I second agree that. I went on yesterday and it was already sold out ob both edition. Went on again on the site this morning to see if I have luck on availability but no luck.
I read the reviews and a lot of customers so upset receiving email but not able to purchase because it was sold out. I so agree that Seph should have purchase limit per customer.

I agree with the comment that there probably should be a purchase limit when there is only a limited amount to begin with. I’m a Rouge, and waited too longer to order, so it’s definitely my fault, but it’s kind of a bummer to read comments from people who ordered more than what seems they will use. JMHO, but I think these boxes are meant to be used as a way to let buyers try without investing a lot — and not for people to buy multiples to sell, swap, etc. Again, JMHO.

I posted a bunch on the first post for this, but thought I would try here too. I would gladly swap for this at $140 RV. I’m not sure how I would pay someone otherwise. I used to be VIB Rouge when I could afford it, but alas my life is my different now. Edition 1 is what I am trying to get. Thanks

I still like these luxury Sephora Play boxes. This one seems like a combination of the first and second round of boxes in terms of brands. I hope the products are different. I also like the unique hard pink case.

It’s still showing as available when I click on the link though? Both of them are available when I just checked. I can help whoever wants to buy it since I’m VIB and have flash shipping.

Wouldn’t they have to have a few left over for every one else to order tomorrow?
Sephora might be staggering the release of these boxes.

I ordered one of each first thing when I woke up this morning. I knew they would sell out fast because it’s $20 for $140 value. Anytime that happens u can bet it will sell out quickly. I checked my order and edition 1 is saying sold out. Edition 2 doesn’t say anything though, hopefully it will still be available tomorrow for everyone else!
