Also, when I saw the festival theme I was excited for glitter, bright colors, setting spray and maybe a refreshing mist or suncare product. Nothing in these boxes seems “festival ready” to me.

I have box 364 and I am cancelling. I actually literally cried. Not only was has the subscription been awful, their customer service has been downright horrendous. Makeup is one of the few joys in my life right now, I budgeted everything out just so I could afford to get a PLAY! Box as a little gift for myself every month to discover new products. I chose PLAY! because it seemed to be one of the more makeup centric beauty boxes. But for some reason no matter how I try to tweak my beauty profile they keep giving me boxes with basically no makeup at all, when other boxes have several makeup products AND better skincare and haircare products. I get nothing but moisterizers and conditioner. Between box 028 in January and 364 in March there is one single actual makeup product and it’s an eyeliner that I already own.
I wrote several messages back and forth with customer service politely asking if there was something in my profile that was making it so I was getting no makeup (I believe it it mostly the fact that I have dry skin etc, as if I just don’t know how to moisturize) and what I could to to change it, and in so many words they just basically said “that sucks” and “if you don’t like it you should cancel” which really hurt. I just hoped next month I would be able to get a couple pieces of makeup as was advertised and in everyone elses boxes. I just wanted to solve the mystery of the makeupless makeup subscription, because obviously there is some kind of basic logic behind their algorithm and there must be SOME reason I keep getting these kind of boxes, and instead was more or less TOLD to cancel.
I never had an Ipsy box remotely as disappointing as these have been and had nothing but great customer service from Ipsy.
Box #364 is boring, useless to me and borderline offensive as a beauty enthusiast.

Box 364 is the worst box i’ve ever gotten out of all the subs i’ve tried.. I’m cancelling if next month i don’t get some makeup. an eyeliner other than BLACK and maybe some decent lipstick. Ugh Sephora..

I’m 364 and I just cancelled. I have fine oily hair, and the hair balm and mask will be of no use to me. I have already gotten the spray in a Play box, and the last thing I need is yet another eye liner.
The lack of customization for the hair products is what is really annoying me.

I just resubscribed this month and I’m getting box 364. This box is the worst one. 2 hair products and Stila eyeliner again. All of the other boxes have at least one lip product or 2 make-up products but this one has 2 hair. Ugh going back to Ipsy at least they mix it up.

Agreed on the black eyeliner! I am cancelling.

Box #364 looks awesome! I can’t wait to try all the products!!!! 🙂

I’m getting 364. I don’t use a setting spray, but I love Korres Greek Yogurt products. I don’t mind getting 2 hair masks as I use them regularly. I’ll probably use the eyeliner no matter what – but I’d love to get something other than black.

I love the Korres foaming cleanser. I got a sample during checkout from Sephora and loved it so much, I bought the full size. Cleansers, scrubs and serums are my three favorite things to get in a box.

As gor hair creams and eye creams, they’re useful and it means never having to buy them as they last a long time. 😄. I like skincare the best though.

enough with the foaming cleansers! they are SO drying and this is the second one we’ve gotten recently.

I’m getting box 850 and it seems really great but seriously Sephora, you can’t distribute awesome products across all boxes? It’s crazy that their boxes are like playing the lotto. There are some really great boxes, and really terrible boxes. I may cancel after this box.

Someone posted box 876 on the forums with the CS response (my box too)
-Bumble and Bumble Shampoo and Conditioner
-Dr. Jart Premium Beauty Balm
-Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain
-Becca Every Matte Poreless Priming Perfector
-IGK Mistress
-IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye Illumination
Overall, I’m okay with this. A little jealous of those getting a Buxom liner. 🙂
Excited to try some of these though1

Box 677 looks promising.
Just so long as the lip shade is dark and the eye pencil ANY shade but black.

Ok 364 is the WORST box I have ever received. I said after the crappy boxes the last few months I would give it one more month and this box is it! I am so disappointed in the Sephora Play Box. I have been subbed since the beginning and I felt that it would be the best box since I love Sephora. It has been one of the more disappointing. I just feel like Sephora has really missed a great opportunity. They have great brands but I feel like the brands included in these boxes are B list brands. Sephora really had an opportunity to make this box exciting, but I can count on one hand the amount of products I have actually used, and I have never liked a product so much that I used my Play Pass to buy it. The boxes are so lackluster that really they should be given as a perk to Rouge members, not have them spend an additional $10 per month on crappy reject samples.

Same here. I’ve gotten a few crappy bags lately but this one SUCKS. I won’t use any of these products… watch the liner not even be black 😑

I usually try to stay pretty positive about the box contents but I’ll admit–I have 364 and I think that this is the absolute worst Play box I’ve ever received. I think everything’s a major pass for me.

I agree, I’m also getting 364 and I’m not happy. Tired of getting eyeliners repeatedly. I feel
Sephora ignores the beauty profile that I completed when I signed up.

This is my first box…. expected more makeup and got one eyeliner. Already disappointed and wishing I had gotten Ipsy like my friends. 🙁

Agreed. I sub to this box mainly for the makeup and don’t mind some skincare here and there, but I’m so bummed at how much haircare is in this box. I have fine, oily hair, so the last thing I need is a box of moisturizing/hydrating products :/

I don’t know if you’ve ever tried Amika’s Nourishing Mask (now called Soul Food), but if not, you may like it. It’s been great for my hair.

I have 364 and I am pretty excited. I struggle to find good hair products for my thin, straight hair. The weather has been unusually dry and my hair has been crazy with static electricity. I NEVER use the hair conditioners – but have been enjoying my samples of hair conditioning sprays. — It is FIVE new products I have never tried. I’d ditch the eye liner, or give to my daughter.

Another mascara.
I this this may be my last one – i have more mascaras than i can use in my lifetime.

I feel the same way in regards to eye liner/eye pencils ! I don’t mind getting mascaras, but I have received waaaaay too many liner/pencils from Sephora than I can ever use.

I’m getting this box. It’s OK – at least, there’s not Briogeo. I’m probably one of the few but I miss getting a perfume sample.
Reply
Nikki
Also loved the perfume samples. I don’t mind a really high end conditioner to try but I’d rather have a perfume

Jenna
I miss it too! It’s definitely part of the reason I chose Play! over other subscriptions. 😑

Like the hair samples this month, at least it isn’t another dry shampoo.

New products to try so I can’t complain. Lucky for me my box spoilers always seem to come out early. I still don’t think they assign these boxes based on our profiles.

My box this month but so boring. Not much I want but I guess thy can’t all be spot on.
Reply

It looks like the boxes were given to people based on skin tone, not hair type. My box (#850) has a foundation, #677 has a tinted BB cream, and I’m going to guess that as the other boxes are revealed, we’ll see more face color products (foundation, tinted moisturizer, BB creams). Since #364 lacks a color product for the face, this may be the “catch all” box.

Mel posted it in the comments below, but I’ll repost it here:
850 has the following:

* Ouai Anti-Frizz Sheets (1 pack)
* Sephora Collection Matte Perfection Powder Foundation
* Murad Invisiblur Perfecting Shield Borad Spectrum SPF 30 PA+++
* Lancome Meil-En-Mousse Foaming Cleansing Makeup Remover with Acacia Honey
* Buxom Plumpline Lip Liner
THANKS for sharing Mel!!

You might be on to something..I’m super pale so there are a lot of foundations that I can’t use.

Well, this month is not good. I’m #677 and I have received all of those items from play! In the past, except the briogeo. The Marajo is obviously foil packets which are useless. I want a perfume sample.

nothing, I want nothing in from the first 2 spoilers. hope my box (884) has at least one item I’d use.

Any spoilers for Box #144 yet? Not impressed with these, though 850 looked good.

Hoo…I’m hoping I don’t get the Supergoop spray. That stuff makes a rash erupt anywhere I spray it.
