Sephora has let us know that every box this month will include 3 makeup items!
What do you think of the spoilers?
To find out which box you’re receiving at the beginning of each month, follow these instructions:
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.
PLAY! by Sephora is a monthly beauty and makeup subscription box. Each month, Sephora sends you a mix of six samples (including cosmetics, haircare, skincare, fragrances, and other beauty products) personalized to match your preferences and a PLAY! BOOK of tips and tricks.

I am canceling my subscription after this month. The box I have is useless to me. I wish I had the box that has the better than sex and miss Dior. Anyone else have a suggestion for another subscription serivce?

BoxyCharm, the wait list is well worth it; it’s $20/month instead of $10 though, but you get full sized products.
Or if you want to stay at $10/month, then ipsy always gives you at least 1 full size product and they really customize your bag so you’re more likely to get stuff that you like.

Ipsy comes with a cute bag that is actually useable also

I emailed about 635 and finally got a response back, but they wouldn’t tell me the contents. They did say it’s with UPS, which is weird because my account says it’s still pending. Sephora is all messed up this month!

I actually wouldn’t mind the pink (although I have so many lip products at this point I wouldn’t mind not getting lip stuff period. Hah!)

Sure hope that bright pink lipstick isn’t in it! No way would that go with my warm skin tone and my color IQ.

Eh… EH… #601 is a miss for me.
– I don’t do red lipsticks.
– I don’t use dry shampoo.
– Cream doesn’t match my skin concerns
– I already have many liquid liners (and don’t always use them, either).
– Eyeshadow depends on shade
But then I look at the boxes, and there’s not more than one or two things I like from any box… this whole month is just disappointing.

I swear I always get the crappiest box. Seriously – hot pink lippie – YUCK. I throw away liquid liner, don’t use it. I like B&B hair powered. I haven’t found a spray yet that I like. The only think I may use is the eye cream. Haven’t they sent out that eye crayon before or is it just that they send so many blah eye crayons that they all blur. SO much a waste of $10. I should get over my FOMO and realize that PLAY hasn’t been good for a while and cancel it

Are you kidding me? I was waiting to see what was in this month’s bag for me to decide whether or not to cancel. I will definitely be cancelling after seeing this. None of the items in #627 are related to my personal profile in which they supposedly curate your items from. My main skin concern is discoloration and redness, which should have been matched with the Cicapair. My hair concern is flatness, which would have been a great match for the Bumble and Bumble thickening spray. I believe I put my style down as “classic” or something like that, and I get a hot pink lipstick!? And on top of it all, this is my 98th freaking eyeliner. I’ve resorted to giving them away because I have no use for them. I probably only wear eyeliner once every 3 months. Is there any way to go into a Sephora store and get items swapped out? They clearly aren’t catering to our profiles, this is so frustrating and a waste of money at this point.

Who needs hot pink lipstick? I am ready to swap that from my 627 box for anything else.

Just can’t understand how I could get box #627 as a brown-skinned person. Pastel pink lipstick made for fair complexions? An eyestick that will barely show up on my eyes? Natural curly/kinky hair and I get a volumizer/texturizer? Nice to know that Sephora reads our profiles.

Officially done with Sephora Play. I’ve been here since th beginning and this bag has gotten worse and worse. I use to say well it’s only $10, no biggie, but I probably use or get half way excited about 1 or 2 items. I’m over it, done wasting money.

Box 635 contains!!!
I emailed sephora ladies and they told me box 635 contains – Make Up For Ever Artist Rouge c-207 – Laura Mercier Caviar Eye Stick (Au Natural) – Drybar Triple Sec – YSL Mon Paris – Clinique Easy Liquid Liner – Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops

I wish, but that can’t be right… there’s no skincare there… there are supposed to be 3 makeup, a skincare, a hair and a fragrance in every box….
Reply
CM
(That being said I’d actually LOVE to get all this stuff. I really prefer makeup to skincare…)
Blake
This month is a total miss for me. Why hot pink lipstick?! Granted, I really only get this box for the luxe skincare samples so I didn’t have high expectations for a month that was makeup heavy.

Is anyone getting box 635? I really don’t want the Caudelie stuff or the eyeliner or Laura mercier so I hope I don’t get any of that 🙃

Although I’ve only been subbed for a few months, this will be my last Play by Sephora box due to financial reasons. I was really hoping to receive the Clinique Pretty Easy Liquid Eyeliner and a bright pink lipstick.
If anyone with box 627 wants swap their Clinique Pretty Easy Liquid Eyeliner for the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara and the MUFe Artist Rouge Lipstick in c211 for the MUFE Artist Rouge Lipstick in c207, please let me know.

I’m getting this one too. Fair complexion, normal/dry skin, blonde/wavy. Last month I got box 957. Mine shows as not yet shipped. Back in Oct. my box just showed up at the door before I ever got an email shipping notice, so fingers crossed.

I also appear to be getting 593.
No spoilers and it appears mine hasn’t even shipped yet.

My Play box hasn’t shipped yet either. Is there anyone else with the same issue?
I’m also getting box 593. I’m hoping i don’t get that bright pink lipstick, it’s much too light for my complexion.

I love the pink lip pie but I’m brown skinned so it looks great on me. Give me anything bright…red, purple, even maroon. I love them.

Right! Very disappointed. I’m so tired of getting brown and bright pink lippies. I have fair skin and brown looks terrible on me. Pink looks like something for Barbie and porn stars. I never use liquid liner; mainly because I shake and can’t get a straight line. I like the triple sec but I’m not excited by that. The shadow crayon looks ok but the color is pretty much the same as every other shadow crayon I’ve gotten. Not a big eye cream user either. I was really hoping the last box of 2017 would be better.

I’m the same with liquid liner, no matter how hard I try it comes out horrible. The only thing I’ll get use out of in this box is the hair product. I guess the eye cream but only because I’ll have it.. I think they are pointless.
Alicia
I guess I’m the only one excited for this box! Liner is going up for swap. When they dont send me a red or mauve lipstick its a good box!

The 627 is junk!!! More stuff I don’t want! 585 is the best set! I don’t wear bright pink lipstick and more glittery eye shadow. I don’t need anyone picking out my eye cream… I use Sunday Riley Eye Cream which is far superior than anything out right now! I’m actually angry about this box, This is nothing I want! If they match it to a mature woman with aging issues, This is far from the set she would choose! Glitter accentuates wrinkles and lines, Barbie lipstick is horrible on anyone!!!! Anyone!!!! Especially older women! I have never been soooo disappointed and I’m usually very happy with any of their boxes since I get at least one thing I can use! The WORST box is 627 and I have 2 boxes of these coming my way since my husband is also signed up! Urghhhh

I really like this box. The colors are light and fit my Sephora Profile, except the black eyeliner we are all getting.
I’d swap my box #601 for this one in a heartbeat. Red lipstick is the kiss of death for me.

Yikes – I don’t think the lip color is light at all, but happy it will look good on some people (will not look good on my fair skin at all).

Just cancelled play! As a Rouge member I have been really loyal to Sephora but I think I’m done with that. I’ve signed up for Beautyfix and Boxy Charm and I’m tho king of trying Allure because of the amazing January spoilers. I loved play for the higher end products and ended up finding a few of my holy grail products but I can’t deal with the box envy anymore.

I did the same earlier today after seeing spoilers for my box (#601). The box envy is just too real. It’s why I cancelled Ipsy several years ago and have never re-subscribed.

601 also cancelled, and I’ve been subscripted since the first box, good luck getting me back cause I hardly ever get anything I want
Kele
I feel your pain, Sienna! 😕 I’m glad I decided to take the plunge and cancel.
Sara
I’m going to do the same. I got 601 this month and literally any other box would have fit me better. 627 would have been perfect!! Too much box envy for me!
