Play! by Sephora is a monthly beauty and makeup subscription. Each month they send you six samples, a PLAY! BOOK of tips and tricks, and a PLAY! PASS for in-store learning.
I used to work at Sephora so I naturally couldn’t resist this subscription!
My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)
Every month they include all of the samples in a mini bag with a different design.
FYI - The box variation I received this month is box ending in #693. 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, you can see the “item number” next to the image.

Play! by Sephora March 2018 #693 Review
Each box comes with a foldable info sheet. The front always has a design related to the theme (Beauty Goals” this month), and the Play! Pass.
Each box comes with a Play! Pass, which is a card you can use at Sephora (in-store) to get 50 extra rewards points, and you can also get one-on-one tutorials and tips of products from a Sephora consultant.
The opposite side of the info sheet has pictures of each item and details about what they are, how to use them, and why they think you’ll love them.
Bumble and Bumble Bb Thickening Spray Pre-Styler, 1 fl oz – Estimated Value $5.50 (buy a 2 fl oz. bottle for $11)
I love the Bumble and Bumble brand – I’m always happy to see a product from them in a subscription box. I used this on my towel-dried hair before blow drying and it definitely left some extra texture and body in my hair! My hair is really fine so I’ll take any volume help that I can.
Kat Von D Tattoo Liner, .2 ml – Estimated Value $7.27 (buy a .55ml pencil for $20)
My HOLY GRAIL liquid liner! I’ll never use another liquid liner. This one has a brush tip, is super black, and stays forever. I’m always happy to get extras of this because I always use them!
BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in Champagne Pop, .085 oz – Retail Value $19
This highlight is very pretty! Blends well and is very shimmery in a natural glow and doesn’t look like little glitter pieces all over your face. This color is a little dark/warm for my skin tone, so I may actually just use this as an eyeshadow!
Benefit the POREfessional, .1 fl oz – Estimated Value $4.80 (buy a .25 fl oz. tube for $12)
This product is a classic from Benefit! It’s stayed around because it works great. It’s a balm you use to smooth your complexion and minimize your pores before applying foundation, or just on its own. It’s soft and comfortable to wear – I always have a sample of this in my makeup bag, too.
Sephora Collection Mud Mask Purifying & Mattifying, .33 oz – Estimated Value $3.30 (buy a 1 oz. jar for $10)
I’d love to review this mud mask for you, but mine came completely dried out and unusable. I contacted customer service and they promptly added 100 points to my account, which is enough to redeem a sample like the ones found in the Play! boxes.
VIKTOR & ROLF Flowerbomb – sample vial
This perfume is a cult favorite and is warm, slightly spicy, and floral.
Here I am wearing the Kat Von D Liner, the POREfessional under my foundation, and having used the BB thickening spray.
Verdict: This month's Play! by Sephora box has a value of about $39.87. I think that’s great for a $10 beauty box, especially since the box will always include high-end brands. I love trying new things from brands I love and I trust Sephora’s curation of brands and products, as well.
