It’s $10 measly dollars. I can’t complain about anything.

I am sooooo disappointed They are sending me 5 products that will immediately go into the reject box- I don’t EVER use dry shampoo- it doesn’t work with my hair, I HATE heavy scents (guess which one I get?), I NEVER use black eye liner- that would be a wonderful thing for sephora to know about me I would think- I have way too many samples of mascara. I have already gotten the benifits pore stuff- didn’t like it then, and won’t use it. I’m tempted to just toss the box in the trash as soon as it comes! Does this crap get any better or do I need to cancel now??? I wrote CS and they copy and pasted the blurb from the site about customization…I’m pissed

Excited to get the Becca highlighter but I wish I got another sample of Clementine California… LOVE that fragrance. I wish Sephora would just let us pick what we want!

Got #693. I’m okay with it. At least no mascara (too lazy to use) or lip color (Love love love! But I have so many right now).
Would have loved one of the setting powders instead of the primer or liner though.
For two and a half years I’ve been subscribed to at least 3 monthly beauty boxes at a time and I still have yet to get a setting powder…
But I’ve got dozens of everything else. XD

I’m happy to hear, for the first time ever, we will be able to use our 50 points Play! Pass online! Makes me happy! A lot of people don’t even have a Sephora close to them so they can’t use it. The closest Sephora to me is Sephora inside JC Penny. & the store isn’t that big. So I mostly order online. Think it’s about time we are allowed to use it on online purchases! Thank you Sephora! 👏👏 love the spoilers by the way! Excited to see which box I get!

I’m thrilled to be getting #693. I broke the Becca highlighter in champagne pop that I got in my Allure box the other day.
I use the Kat Von D pen all the time and the B&B thickening spray.

Happy with box 768! I am so excited to be getting the Laura Mercier setting powder and the deva curl cream! We didn’t get one of the guaranteed items but would much rather have these items!

I think I have box 750. I’m nervous about what I’m getting cause from the spoiled boxes it’s really hit or miss. Some I love the stuff or at least a couple but I didn’t love the spoiled items. I have champagne pop and it’s too dark for me, I have the KVD Liner and I already have a backup from a subscription box at some point while a good product I can only use so much of it, and the benefit primer doesn’t work for me. I would just gift it to my friend who does love it. I understand we are still getting a good value and I hate to be unhappy but I feel like they could have done some different. There’s so many cool products at Sephora. Itd be dope if they worked with a brand to maybe do a single of a shadow in like a palette or something. Then it’s beneficial to all parties I feel like. I don’t know, I do think they good customize your bags more. It’s be kinda cool to get one of those crazy face masks at some point.

So 768 has none of the promised spoilers, and 693 has all 3? That doesn’t seem particularly fair. I have no idea what box I’m getting yet, I just got charged yesterday.

719 is mine and I am pleased. Thankful for no lip and liquid eyeliner products.

I’m getting #693.
I was hoping for the Becca because, while I love the Kat Von D liner and the Benefit primer, I don’t have that particular shade from Becca. Turns out I get all three AND a sampling of my favorite perfume. I couldn’t be happier.
4/6 of my box of my box is products that I not only am familiar with but love and purchase full sizes of. I get travel size versions. Of the other two, I’m not sure about the hair product, but the mask seems promising. I’ve not met a mud mask I hate, and Sephora so far has pleasantly surprised me with the house brand products they’ve sent me.

I’m 735, too. Hoping its the great one as I agree I’m not thrilled with most of them so far. Fingers crossed it has some goodies!

I sent customer service a message today and asked what was in box 735 that is my box. They replyed there is no info on that box yet. So idk. I was charged 2 x for may in the same day. They said it was due to a hold and it should refund one. I never had this happen before.

I am also getting 735. All the boxes that have been spoiled so far are horrible IMO, so I am not expecting much. I think this pretty much ends it for me and Play!, unless miraculously I am pleasantly surprised by 735’s contents. Doubt it….

I really wanted to try the kat von d. Oh well, I’m sure they will turn up on eBay. I’m happy to trade the alterna caviar cc cream for the kat von d if anyone is interested.

I’m getting box #693!
I don’t know how I got so lucky. Almost always, I get boxes that I’m a little excited about or they nailed it100%. I only wanted the KVD liner AND the Becca highlighter in May’s box. So right now, I’m super stoked. For some reason I didn’t get it in my missed it in the Allure Beauty Box for last year. Now I get the chance to have one.

Hate to sound negative but I’ve gotten literally every single one of these samples in my Play at one point or another and I’ve only been subbed a little over a year! I mean it’s Sephora! They could let us sample so much and it could be such an awesome box! I think they need someone different in charge of the boxes or they’ll probably start losing a lot of customers to other boxes

LOL, I am getting #693 as well and thought it was just me that I am getting repeat items of things that were in my previous Play boxes (5 of 6- the Sephora mask is the only new item, and I already have enough masks and black liquid eyeliner to last for the next 5 years… SMH…) But after looking at the other boxes, I can’t complain, as they are all meh, and this is the better of the lot. But what the heck, Sephora?!? Is there some sort of desert of new beauty products for your Play boxes?

Me too! This is the second month in a row that I’m getting TWO items that I received previously. I cancelled.

Same. I’m one of the customers they’re going to lose after this month. This will be the THIRD time I’m getting the Kat von D liner. I’m out.

I agree. This their anniversary box and all my items in 693 and everything is a duplicate for me other than the haispray. Have to ait I am disappointed for the first time.

I thought the same thing! This whole series of boxes looks like they’re just trying to get rid of old stock — which is kind of disappointing for those of us who have been subscribed for some time and have seen every one of these samples before. I’m also trying to figure out why my box is the one with the bumble and Bumble thickening spray in it; my profile very clearly notes that I already have absurdly thick hair and have no use for a thickening spray. It’s disappointing that so little thought seems to have gone into this month’s boxes — hoping it’s not a trend that continues.
