Finally got my Dec box and don’t care for anything in it. Boring. I’ll give this a couple more months then I’m out. (I’m down from 12 boxes two years ago to just 2, so the addiction is finally waning…!) 🙂

I don’t understand. If you aren’t happy with what you’re getting, can’t you change information in your Play profile so you get different items? Like if I change my hair concerns to the opposite of what they are now, wouldn’t I be more likely to get a different box?

I’m 601 and also not really loving this box. I thought for December they would have some really good items such as a sparkly shadow or throw in a nice blush. I was hoping to avoid the Smashbox shadow but alas, end up being stuck with it. I’ll probably just hand it off to someone else who likes orangey/gold tones more than I do. Would have much preferred getting the laura mercier shadow stick or even the ABH gloss or the TF mascara. The MUFE lipstick doesn’t look bad and suits the holidays/new years and it’s a good formula. Out of the 2 hair items I’m glad I’m getting the triple sec even though I have a few samples of that already. Also happy to be getting the Clinique eyeliner pen because even though eyeliner can be quite boring I really only wear black eyeliner and on the occasion brown or purple. It will be interesting to see if it can compete with my physicians formula liner or stila liner. The Dr Jart looks interesting and it’s a new product I haven’t tried before. Lastly, the Atelier cologne seems nice, but I wish they would have their perfume samples in a regular vial with a spray nozzle, it makes it so hard to use when it can just spill out, the same post card packaging is cute but even if I like the scent I never use it because of the packaging of the vial. So the only real misses with me is the smashbox shadow and the perfume. But overall this box isn’t that exciting and I can see what people are saying with the repeats and it is noticeable a lot of the items may be leftovers from point perks, promo codes, past boxes. I remember seeing the smashbox shadow as a promo code I think, the drybar triple sec has been in past boxes I believe as well as a point perk and promo code and the coverfx drops in the other box was in my box a month or two ago and was part of a promocode. I guess it’s the end of the year and they are trying to clear out stock for new stuff, as long as the stuff is good/useable i’m ok with it as long as the whole box isn’t repeats.

This is my box, and like many of you I recognize a lot of repeats. play! Is on its last legs with me. What are your recommendations for makeup heavy boxes? I don’t want hair or skin care and I already do Ipsy and Lip Monthly

Boxy is good. But December was awful. Each variation pretty much sucked across the board and I unfortunately got the worst of the lot 🙁

Other months have been great but there are only so many eye shadow pallets one needs and I’ve gotten 3 lip sticks different brands but virtually the same shade each.

For the most part it is an excellent value overall though!

Boxycharm is fabulous!!

I keep telling myself that I’m going to cancel this box if I get one more that I don’t like. This isn’t the worst box I’ve gotten – I’m actually excited to try the Cicapair cream. But red lipstick and black eyeliner? Come on! Plus warm toned eyeshadows, which I personally don’t care for, and another freaking Atelier cologne. I think I’ve tried all their other scents at this point, and I don’t like any of them. So I think I’m done with this sub. If they make some changes, I would absolutely be willing to try them again. But as it is, I’m just not happy.

I agree. This is the second time in a row I will be getting this red lipstick and have very fair skin and look horrible in red lipstick. Thinking this will be my last box.

What baffles me is this is my teenage daughter’s box, and why would a teenager need a “lift and firm” cream? Yes, the curation leaves a little to be desired.

And why so stingy with the spoilers, Sephora?

Still nothing on my own box number, so maybe I’ll swap something with her for the PTR item (I’ll be 37 this weekend and can use any extra lifting and firming!).

I wish I was getting this box. I’m getting 585 and someone on the Sephora community just posted this:

Box 585#

– [ ] Miss Dior – The New Eau de Parfum
– [ ] Makeup forever artist rouge c211
– [ ] Smashbox cover shot eyeshadow
– [ ] Too faced better than sex mascara
– [ ] Bumble and Bumble Thickening Volume Hairspray
– [ ] It cosmetics confidence in a cream

Not bad, but I’d much rather had a red lippie and the tiger grass cream. Still, happy to get the Smashbox eyeshadow.

This is my first Sephora Play box and I actually kind of like it! I’m getting 601 and excited to try out the hair product, eyeliner, and Dr. Jart cream. Sorry to everyone else who hates it!

I can’t see my box number even if I followed the path… how do you guys find out the number?

“If you log in through a browser, not the app, and go to my account > account details > online orders and open the play! Order Details (it was dated 11/1 for me), you can see the “item number” next to the image.”

I can’t even see my ‘account details’

Has anyone else noted that there is a 6 th skincare item that is in the picture and video and no one has mentioned? Hmmmm

Can someone tell me if it was an error or if it will be a surprise in someone’s box?

I’m 154. And they are being weird with curation and spoilers. I’m suspicious about what’s going on?!? Glad neither of these are mine. Sorry for those who got that Tom Ford. That stuff literally made me gag and I do a wide variety of scents. It’s grandma in the worst way. And black liner or red lips? Yippee 🤦🏻‍♀️ Box 154 better be the holy grail or I’m out. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Allure, Boxy charm, and Scentbird for me!

What a let down! I’m out, this is the last straw for me. There are to many what looks like good boxes to try out. For example, look fantastic. Bye Sephora…..

I agree! This box is not good- I keep holding on each month waiting for the box to not make me cancel…this box is not it…..not sure this has been worth the $120 I spend a year on this….

Box 601, this is sad. I was just convincing myself not to cancel Sephora because it gives me a bit of makeup to try versus my other boxes that are skincare. And they were promoting including more makeup this month. Then of course none of this makeup interests me or moreso I already have a ton of the same stuff. At least I like the other 3 items.

Reply ButtonReply

Valerie

I’m the same way. I would love to get the Custom FX enhancer drops but I don’t know why, my box always seems like its made up of left overs. They’re not curated well and like you, I’ve also been contemplating cancelling and this box might be the one to push me to do it. Just doesn’t compare with boxycharm.

MiMi

I would have loved to get this box ! I’m box 585 and don’t know what I am getting yet , but I know I DO NOT want the Custom Fx enhancer drops ! I can’t stand that stuff ! But I desperately want to try this tiger grass cream ! I am definitely willing to trade if I do get the drops !

Julie

One of my issues with play is lately they are doing repeats. A couple months ago they gave me a red lipstick and two months ago I got a red liquid one. Those halo drops were in another recent box, the eyeshadow was a gwp which is fine because some people didn’t get to redeem it but I know they have a habit of doing dry shampoo which is a waste because a lot of us can’t or don’t use it. My hairdresser said it’s awful for your hair. Repeats can be fine if they are going to someone who didn’t get it in a previous box. I wouldn’t mind another red yet there are other color options this month. So far this has been the second box that I’ve been disappointed in which is good. I just hope they listen and step it up. It would also be nice if they could monitor what they send us like these people got red lips and eye liner this year twice let’s change it up

Deanne

I totally agree. The fact that I’ve had two red lipsticks from them one literally last month shows a huge lack of any kind of curation to our profiles and previous boxes. Stinks. I’m getting the red lipstick too if you couldn’t tell haha.

Reply ButtonReply

Ea

I agree about the red lipsticks. I am fair and I cannot use them… why give fair people super bold colors? I had a red sephora lipstick last month too. I’m super disappointed this month.

Krystina

YES! I’ve only had the subscription for 5 months and I’ve already had 2 red lipsticks and 2 black liquid eyeliners. I do not look good in red lipstick, it makes my mouth look very tiny. I am running out of friends to give my lipsticks to! Nobody wants the reds. Please Sephora, stop with the red lipsticks and black liquid eyeliners!

Melissa B.

Box 577, I’m happy with it! I haven’t tried any of these products. I have used drybar, but not this one. Not sure how the eyeshadow colors will look on me with fair skin, blonde hair, & greenish-grey eyes, but looking forward to trying it! If it doesn’t work, I have several friends that would like it! Love the shade of the Anastasia Lip Gloss!! And I’m always up for new perfume!!

Mikayla

I’m usually not a complainer with Sephora okay but this isn’t a very exciting box for me, definitely would’ve preferred 577. I have been looking to try the tiger grass cream though!! I’m sure I’ll use the eyeliner eventually, and the eyeshadow looks like nice colors. I’ll never use the lipstick ever, am not sure the volumizing spray would work well for me and ever get any use, and I usually don’t like that brand of perfume, though this one does sound okay, I will try it obviously.

It’s not like a “bad” box, I’m just not excited…. and seeing the other box got cute abh lipgloss instead of regular bright red lipstick (and a Laura mercier product, and a fancy looking gold cream) didn’t help lol. That box just looks more “luxe”

Dammit! This is my box =( Ugh! I wish I were getting #577 instead, I really want to try that Peter Thomas Roth 24k Cream! There is not one thing in my box that I’m looking forward to. This sucks.

#601… I don’t want anything in my box, what the heck man!

Hmmm. 601 is not doing it for me. I’m not a red lip kinda girl and I have enough black eyeliner for a goth festival lol. Still, I’ll try the products and often find I like something I had thought I wouldn’t. I will find the bright side! …I think the wait for spoilers got me imagining something AMAZING for December was going to emerge. It felt like it took forever to get the spoilers this month!
