I loved box #685. The Sephora beige eye liner goes on very easily and looks great on my lid. Finally a liner that’s not black! The lip pencil is also easy to apply and has a lovely color. I haven’t really tried the other samples though. I personally don’t care for the shampoo and conditioner samples because I have super long hair and would probably need at least 3x the sample amount.

I am not sure which box number I got but I also got a shampoo and conditioner and they were in decent sized bottles but I have made it very clear I do not want those items and do not use them so when I come off of swap vacation on the swap website I will be putting them up or I may just give them away because shipping is so expensive. I am sick of hair items because I only wash my hair and use a really light leave-on conditioner or the Pantene foam conditioner and I am very specific about what I use on my hair and I don’t use hairspray or hair gel or root lifting products or any of that so it’s all crap when I get them and it’s just something else I have to pay shipping on so I am about to drop Sephora because they never send me anything I like. Also, they send me tons of tacky types of makeup and I wear neutral make-up and I mostly just wear nonacnegenic Minerals makeup and it irritates me that people with my same physical description get stuff I want and I never get the good skincare that I could actually use and enjoy. I wish they would let you pick between makeup heavy items or skincare heavy boxes then at least I would get more of what I want instead of every box not even guaranteeing me one Item that I will like. Where is all the good skin care in the store? That is why I signed up for them. Hard to believe they won the best Beauty Box last year!

What is going on with Sephora Sub boxes??? This was my Favorite Subscription, but now they’re sending their brand and I get 2 of them in the same box? Yuck!!! Why why??? Their products irritates my skin and really doesn’t even match my mature aging skin. This will be my last month! Somehow, they just don’t listen. And I miss the fragrance samples which was the one thing that set them apart. Box 677 is the worst box!

I agree, this is the worse box. Nothing that matches me. So tired of all the lip stains and mascara. Also, I have I have black eyelashes, why would I use taupe eyeliner? If the next box isn’t better, It’ll be my last.

I sent them an email telling them that I was tired of the crappy boxes with too many Sephora brands in it and tacky bright makeup when I wear neutral make-up and people that have the same exact skin color and hair color and eye color as me and same problems are getting items I want while I get crappy items and end up having to pay shipping to swap and I told them I could just as easily cancel with them and buy the items I want instead or cancel with them and Allure and then sign up with Beauty Box 2.0 that gives you decent sizes with the travel-size being the smallest and most of them full size is for $20 a month $40 every 2 months when it ships. I told them to brands that we all want like dr. Brandt dr. Jart Dennis gross Kate Somerville things like that that are great with skincare and they said they couldn’t. Next box isn’t better I’m canceling I’m sick of them they are the worst box I have and I don’t know how they got the number one award winner on this website.

Desiree

I made a list of all of the Brand’s I like at Sephora and some others including specific items and emailed Allure, Birchbox, Sephora play, and Macy’s and told all of them the long list of items that I would like to see more of and I know a lot of other people would too which are the higher value good brand skincare items, and have seen no change at all and have gotten none of the products and it has been a few months and none of the people paid any attention and I am getting fed up with getting things I’ve never heard of from companies I’ve never heard of so they can save a dollar and the tacky makeup Sephora sends is never right for me because I don’t wear liquid foundation.. I wear Bare Minerals and if they could even send their good skin care lines that would be good but they don’t do that either. I dropped Allure and Ipsy and Sephora will be next. I am disappointed in March’s Dermstore box because there is nothing in there I would like except for the Peter Thomas Roth Irish Moor mud mask and I already It Anyways in a huge size on eBay for about $30 and it is absolutely amazing! though it is mud and does not dry, it has so many thousands of years old nutrients in the mud that it leaves your face glowing and healthy-looking and it is great to spot treat pimples to take the redness out and flatten them out by somehow drying and soothing the pimple without drying the skin around it so they heal quickly. I highly recommend that mask so it’s too bad the size is so small but you can always go on eBay like I do to buy the stuff you want and can’t afford in the store. question, does anybody know if the $25 coupon they sent us due to the small size of the PTR face mask is valid to use on the dermstore box next month?

Actually I heard that you could use the 25dollar credit on the next box but you would have to cancel and then resub.

Mine is #685, I am really happy with my box. I’m very new to subscription boxes. This is my 2nd box from Sephora. So far so good!

So disappointed in my 364. Its got heavy moisturizing hair and face products when Sephora knows I have straight, fine, limp hair and am a greaseball even in winter. And a liquid eyeliner of unspecified color thrown in? This feels like an emptying of some warehouse stock and no effort to actually provide products that people actually want.

I’m actually really excited for this box. I signed up specifically for skincare products since I don’t really wear makeup at all. I won’t use the eyeliner but can probably find someone to give it away to.

I have the same box and fine limp hair too. I don’t understand how the match the boxes with our profiles.

This is most likely the last month for Sephora for me because they never send any of their expensive items and it is a shame that Allure will send the Sunday Riley CEO that is $85 at Sephora and then Sephora doesn’t even send any of their good brands in their box and I have been disappointed with the last several boxes I got so I will look at the next spoiler and then cancel and take my money to a different Beauty Box.

March will be my first Sephora Play! box and at first I was so happy March would my first because I already had so many things from the February box (they gave me the Rebel Chic lipstick and Nars lip crayon in store like 5 months ago), but now I’m box 364 and I’m so disappointed… One makeup product out of the whole box which is just a black eyeliner? Seriously?

It says color to be determined by the eyeliners so maaaybe they will be colorful for once since this is supposed to be a festival box! 😂

I’m going to give it another month and then probably drop this box because all of my favorite brands that they carry, they never send me any of that stuff and mostly they send me bright red lipstick which I don’t wear and liquid foundation samples which are not the right color and I wear powder mineral makeup anyway so I may drop this and I already dropped it earlier and it see and then that will give me the money for more skincare like the new Beauty test tube. This box is definitely disappointing from what I’ve seen of the spoilers. I probably will sell mine on eBay or swap it. Also, I cannot win going through Google and going in to Sephora website be able to see any previous orders when I went in today and I can never find my item number whether it is through their website clicking on orders or if it is on the app. Very frustrating

desiree harper

Last month I was so disappointed with my Sephora box that ended up trading someone for their Sephora box because we both hated what we got so at least that worked out but I had to pay $5 shipping to ship my box to her and that’s after each of us took an item and our 50 point card out. Sephora continues to disappoint me. I may just look at spoilers and pick out things I like and then buy them on eBay and cancel Sephora and since I canceled two other boxes I would be able to pick up new Beauty test tube with the difference in money.

desiree harper

I cannot figure out which box I will get because it will not show me my orders when I went to the website today and it will not show you if you try to use the app your item number and even though I was signed in it doesn’t really matter which box I get because I thought they were all crappy this month. I have had the play box for several months and it is not one of my favorites and I already dropped Ipsy and allure and I prefer skincare over makeup because I like the makeup I’m already wearing (mineral..Aromaleigh is way better than Bare Minerals because the ingredients are as healthy if not healthier and the selection and prices are so much better FYI, and Macy’s and dermstore are my favorite boxes because they are heavier on skincare so if that matters to you that and new Beauty test tube which is much more expensive is one I would like to get because it is also heavier on skincare and they have full size items usually but it is $40 a box but you only get one every 2 or 3 months so I guess it evens out somewhat. I may drop Sephora because of the high quantity of makeup I end up swapping to get skincare products whereas how much I spent shipping 7 swaps last week was $30 and I could have just bought a full-size product I wanted instead. I have found that going on eBay you can find a lot of travel-size high-end products cheap that people get in these boxes or in kits for much cheaper than you can get at Sephora or in a department store so I have begun buying sample sizes of things that I really like cheaply there. Just a tip

I just tried 3 times to go to the Sephora website, not the app, and it is pulling me up and showing me a signed in but will not show me anything when I click on my orders to try to find out my item number. I have continued to have problems with their website and I don’t know why they will not show you in the app. It’s very frustrating but I guess it doesn’t matter because I was not impressed with any of these boxes.

Desiree,

I can understand your frustration. I have other issues with their site. I only found out about this spoiler page two months ago and did not even know you could do this (it is very helpful). I cannot put feedback on any comments (e.g. if a review was helpful or not). Do you have this issue as well? Anyone know how to resolve the problem. I have no problems signing in, looking at history, leaving reviews, and of course ordering (lol). If I click on yes or no I get bounced to the top of the review listing. If it were not for convenience of getting things I need right away that are only sold at Sephora, I would buy as little as possible from them and let my Rouge status drop. Ulta is stepping it up and I already hit Platinum for next year and on my way to their newest level. Do you have any suggestions for other beauty boxes I may want to try that really deliver great products (range of price categories is fine, quality matters)? Hope they are able to fix your viewing problem since that is something you should be able to see on all orders you place. Maybe try calling in and see if you can get past the regular customer service team, I think I am going to do the same since I already did all of the troubleshooting I can on my end (sorry for the long reply).

I have never tried to review on the Sephora website my box, but I did find the problem with not being able to find my item number. The problem is that you must be on the desktop site, not the mobile site or the app to be able to see the item number and then the last 3 digits of the item number is the Bucks you will be getting that month and you can come on to my subscription addiction and search for the spoiler for that box number. Can you tell me if you are more interested in makeup, skincare, or all of it? I have found that for skincare Macy’s is really good and dermstore are great, for makeup Allure and it’s easy is good and Sephora has a little more makeup than skincare actually a lot more makeup and skincare which was disappointing because I’m a skincare junkie and don’t want to change my makeup because I get hormonal acne on my chin and jawline and neck. I used to have all of those boxes but I dropped ipsy and Allure and I’m thinking of dropping Sephora also but I do like the 50-point cards. the beauty tube 2.0 is kind of expensive but it’s an every other month box and I’ve been wanting to try it for a long time because I live their products are the bigger travel sizes or full size and you get more of them but it’s about $40 or $38 every two months and my budget is tight since I’m on disability. Have you tried the swap website on here? You have to pay your own shipping which really adds up but it’s really awesome and you need to subscribe if you haven’t so that you can trade items you don’t want for items you do want and all you have to do is very simple and you can feel free to contact me if you have questions about using that site. I got some of the best items of mine either by buying them cheap on eBay that people post when they get them in kits or boxes or I have traded for them. Hope that helps, message me if you want more information I have been subscribing to all these boxes for about 8 months now. Desiree

Damn #876 is perfect! I have #843 and haven’t seen anything on it yet but I hope it’s as close to #875 as possible! Just skip the matte primer and lip cream and I’m good! 😭😭😭

No one seems to know yet! At least I haven’t come across spoilers. I think a lot of people just emailed Sephora and asked what was going to be in their specific box number judging by the Sephora beauty insider community posts.

Box 364 I wasn’t overly unhappy with my box getting all the hair stuff and a black eyeliner until I saw what I’m getting in my 2 ipsy bags and Birchbox . Apparently it’s the month of hair care,eyeliners , face cleanser and mask. Birchbox is sending me three hair products a face cleanser and my requested lip product. From ipsy I’m getting two face mask, two black eyeliners, two face cleansers and a hair product. Wow I don’t even like getting hair stuff I have a whole box (big) in my bathroom now. And black eyeliners for the love of god people stop sending us freaking black eyeliners . Fifty three black eyeliners is plenty ( and yes I counted) I can’t give them away. Oh well I’m sure I’ll love my Boxycharm ❤️ Sorry rant over

Can we talk about the black eyeliner problem? I’m box 577. Another black eyeliner. I’ve only been getting boxes since December but since then every one of the 5 or so that I subscribe to, has sent me a black eyeliner. It’s almost comical if it wasn’t so annoying. I rarely wear eyeliner although I’ve been doing it now since I have so much!!! They have to know we hate this. Why do you think it’s becoming such a problem that they won’t address. Send me a different color for Pete’s sake!!!!

Ho hum. I’m box 685 and for the first time I’m not excited or interested in many of the products. I’m set on my hair products and not interested in trying others so at least 2 are no good. I may try the spray. Don’t use lip liners much and don’t really need one w/o the gloss/lipstick. Could always use more makeup remover and even a BB cream. GLAD though I didn’t get the Stila liner because I just bought a full size last weekend after trying it in another box. I would have liked the IT eye cream. I haven’t been getting these for too too long but if I’m arleady seeing repeats, that can’t be good.

I’d be mad getting three hair samples in one box. I hate hair stuff in boxes, I have weird hair that nothing ever works for. I canceled Sephora like 8 months ago and haven’t missed it at all.

Reply ButtonReply

Melissa B.

Well, ALL 3 hair product will be given away. And if the Dr. Jart is not light, it will be given away, too. About ready to cancel! I’m giving away more than I’m keeping it seems like. I would rather have 3 different fragrance samples than ANY hair care!! I don’t mind the Sephora Collection eyeliner, even if it is black. I used to not wear eyeliner-now I love it. I’m happy to have a lipliner, first time I’ve gotten one in a box. And the facewash seems good! But, I REALLY miss the fragrance every month!! 🙁 I’ve already spoken to one of my friends about cancelling-we usually get the same box and we have different skin tones, different hair color, different skin issues, different color eyes. We both talked about cancelling last month. I may try one more month… But there is another sub box I have my eye on if this one doesn’t get better!

I also get Ipsy. And its pretty amazing most the time. Its 10.00 a month. And ur profile is more detailed. This is my first time ordering and if my box is right because I have seen people say ur box is last 3 of order number or last 3 of item number. Only box I found was the item number and its full of hair care for dry hair. My hair is oily. So crossing my fingers I am wrong and dont get that box.

I have to say after getting this box for a year- I’m always surprised and usually pretty happy. I love trying new products & adding up my points. As an extra bonus, there’s a lady who works in the store that ‘gets’ my dark circle crepey under eye issues which is the bane of my existence. I feel the price is just right to try new stuff, which is saying something since I am both picky & pretty cheap! lol.

Are they including more than five items now (or replacing the perfume sample with a sixth item?) Some of these items look pretty nice.

Sephora Play has always had 6 items in the box. They’ve always marketed it as 5 items, plus a bonus fragrance, but lately they’ve started to include hair samples in place of the fragrance here & there.
