I wish they didn’t take away the perfume sample they used to send every month! It was a great way to smell the new perfumes. Wish they’d bring it back!

I have been subscribed since December and this is the first bag that didn’t have it. I think they are still doing it, but certain variations have it omitted. Maybe go into your profile unselect the perfume sample, save, then go in and reselect it and save. Sounds stupid but that may trigger it

Tired of getting weird color of lip glosses/sticks and eyeliners. Feels like they are just trying to get rid of unwanted sample merch.

I LOVE high shine glosses so I’m hoping for this. In general I prefer receiving skincare focused boxes. I love getting mascaras because the they go bad quickly so I like always having a fresh tube on hand.
My least favorite things to get are black eyeliners, followed by face primers. I’ve also had bad luck with lip products.. they send me a lot of purpley, cool-toned shades which don’t flatter me at all. When can a girl get a coral?! There have been some wins, though.. I got a couple plumbers I liked and the gloss from last month is decent!

They’d better not send me that foundation instead of the lip gloss – am tired of donating the recent contents of these boxes to my co-worker’s teenager – last month’s purple matte lip stain – PLEASE!! I’ll give them one more month and that’s it, seriously – way too many other boxes out there …

I unsubscribed after March’s box (as many people did) in hopes that Sephora would finally get the message and get it togetger with the quality of their boxes and customer service. Seeing that they’ve already released 3 spoilers, and all of them are decent, and two of them are makeup when everyone has been complaining about the lack of makeup, makes me feel like they are possibly trying to listen. I’m just wondering if it’s worth resubscribing because my luck I wouldnt get any of these items, I always got the most cheap/boring/makeupless box. I think I’ll still skip this month in protest and try another brand.

I cancelled mine too. I just wasn’t excited to get the box anymore. I’m going to sit out until the products start to seem exciting again.

I cancelled mine after March box too. I got sick of the black eyeliner and mascara. Very repetitive.
Suzy
I cancelled my subscription, too. The last several boxes were disappointing.

Oh I love that color! Except we don’t know what color or will be. Unless I missed something. Also, it’s a lip gloss, which I almost never wear. But, ooh that packaging!

I pretty much only wear lip balm, but I want that lip gloss. My daughter is a big Urban Decay fan and she would love this. I should tweek my profile a little.

I SO hope I get that gloss!!!!!!! I do not wear foundation & I’ve actually been stalking that gloss to see when I could buy it at Sephora! (It’s available there now but I haven’t had a chance to get to the store to test the colors—there are so many I want!!)

I’m hoping the MUFE foundation and UD lip gloss are in all boxes.
I don’t want to have to choose.

So far I am liking this month’s box. That UD gloss just came out and I wouldn’t mind trying.
