Had to cancel after this! I have already gotten everything in my box many times over and I keep praying the next one will be better but it never is🤦🏼♀️😕😞 my spot can go to someone who needs and wants these samples❤️

I got box 743 and it’s not listed here. Anyone now what will be in that box?

Done. I am cancelling. What a bore. A disappointing bore. Last month my IT compact was smashed to smitherthereens and they didn’t seem to care much. It’s happened before with eye shadow too and I didn’t get much of a response. I think I’ll try out Boxycharm and stick with Ipsy.

I’m getting 693 and I don’t care if I get repeats – they’re repeats of stuff I loved and wanted to buy more of anyways! I’m really happy with my box!

I’ve had this subscription since almost from it’s inception and yet this is the first month where I’ve yet to be charged and we’re almost 4 days into the month. Since I’ve not been charged, I also cannot check my recent orders to see what box I’ll be getting. Has anyone else not been charged yet??

OMG I’m the same. Had the subscription since the beginning, but now I didin’t get my last box until the 24th…used to get it before the 10th!!! I asked on the group why it’s changed, and I literally got a copy and paste answer that they ship after they bill….uhhhh duh?????

Come on, Sephora…last month was soooo good and I loved my bag…I’m not sure yet about this one, I’m bag 750…we’ll see I guess! My Ipsy bags are amazing this month and of course boxycharm is blowing me away, so if this is isn’t the best than I’ll deal lol but I hope I get at least something new, most of these I already have/had. I don’t expect much from Play and Birchbox anymore…they’ve gotten blah

Box 727
Well I still have a half bottle of my deluxe sample ouai wave spray I got from Sephora play two summers ago… I guess it’d be good for me to just throw it away and just replace it with this one. It’s the only wave spray I’ll use and smells great, but I don’t use sprays like that often lol.
The caudalie was also my birthday gift last year but it was nice so I don’t mind getting another sample. And of course the Kat Von d I’m sure we’ve all tried a million times, but it’s my go to liner so at least I won’t need to buy more soon!!
Mineral veil I’ve also tried, but it is my all time FAVORITE primer that I have never bought bc I’m too broke for that. So that alone makes the box worth it for me lol.
Never tried the mascara but I’m sure it’s ok. The scent sounds nice and fresh.
… a good box for sure, just nothing new/fun/exciting. Can’t complain about quality staples though!!!! No question worth over $10

Buxom mascara is decent, I’ve used it before.

That’s underwhelming, another blasted liquid black eyeliner, a mascara sample that I have the full size of, a hair product I don’t use, and ANOTHER Hourglass primer.
The only bright spots are the moisturizer and cologne (I like citrus)

So. Many. Repeats! Seriously, Sephora is really dropping the ball on these boxes. Feels like they’re unloading old stock on us before they expire or something. Total let down for an anniversary box. This is not what I signed up for, Sephora!

Just came here to write this exact thing. So disappointing! I just found the previous tube of the Caudalie from last time 🙄 the kat von d liner seems to dry up before I can use it all. The clementine California is a good scent, that I’ve recieved twice already since signing up for sephora play. Guess this is my time to unsubscribe

Yep! I emailed them to ask why I was getting basically a whole box of repeats and they kept sending the auto message to check my play profile because that’s what they use.. to later get a message that they know I’m frustrated because I’ve got 3 kvd already dried up sent to me but they can’t do anything because they boxes are prepackaged. They were so rude today, almost couldn’t believe it..

I’m getting box 701 and it’s ok, but I really would’ve liked that HG primer 🙁

What’s in box 743?!
Reply

I can only view my item number if I log in via the Google App or on my PC. If I use Safari, they won’t load. I’m box #693 and my shop week is the third week of the month. I like it though as it spaces out the three boxes I get. Beautyfix comes first, then Sephora and Allure brings up the rear. Can’t wait to see my spoilers! There are some good selections this month. I share, so there’s something for each of us.

I’m 776 and love mine. The Coconut Curl Supercream is my HG and I need another travel size. I also LOVE HG Veil so again, travel size.

Same!!! This is my second box after a long hiatus from Play, so it all feels new to me. Two great months in a row for me!

I cancelled right in time before getting charged for this month. So glad I did. I had fomo that’s why I kept it since they began, 2 years ago. I’m on product overload so it was time to let go even though I did liked it for the most part. Goodbye Sephora ♡

This my box too. I love Bumble and Bumble and the other items are okay. I’ll be giving the liner away. I only use brown and bronze liners and as usual they’re sending black. So many black liners in boxes! Not my favorite primer, but my daughter-in-law loves it. I’ve plenty Flower Bomb samples , but hopefully this one looks will be a nice size like the others do this month.

Nope they don’t look at your profile at all , I have thick curly hair and I never ever use hairspray. I have so many mask I’ll never be able to use them all and I already have the eyeliner and the highlighter from allure ☹️

So they don’t really look at your profile when they give you a box. Box 776 would very clearly fit my profile. Namely the fact that my profile says I have thick, curly hair. I’m supposed to get this box and thickening hairspray is completely unnecessary for me. Oh well. Plus, I have received 3 out of the 6 of those items in past Play! boxes. *shrug*

thi have curly hair and i never blow dry it…a recipe for frizz..
Toni
I know I’m exactly the same , I gave everyone of the items except that brand of mask. But I have so many mask it’s ridiculous. This is really what they are sending out for the anniversary box . All those items in their store and it’s all repeats for me.
Amber M
I guess this is an ok box. Several repeats for me. I love the liner so I’m happy to have a new one just wish they’d send a different color for a change. Not a bad box just not very exciting.

Tattoo liner only comes in brown and black. Brown would have been a nice change, even though I hate liquid liner.
angela
i wish it would have had the mineral veil primer instead. i’m not really excited for this box but i had a good box last month.
Jill
I would have killed for the veil primer . 701 really doesn’t compare now

I’ll be swapping that primer since I don’t use primers and I seem to get one in every single box.

701is sad box compared to the others so far. So sick of porefessional.

I’m getting 776… out of the boxes so far I like it the best so I’m happy. I was hoping to get the tattoo liner so I’m excited about that! Not thrilled to be getting primer two months in a row but oh well.

693. Got a great box last month… hoping this one will be too!

Man, I’m always anxious when I see stuff for curly/coiled hair in my box when I’m just wavy but the reviews say it should work out…

I have 693 also but I am a bit disappointed in what I see so far. For a 2nd anniversary box, they sure have a lot of repeat items.

I agree completely all repeats

Crossing my fingers HARD for DevaCurl in box 693 too!

That supercream is the bomb for my fine wavy hair. It looks thick, comes out thick but it somehow works on my thin textured hair which is easily weighed down.

Nope we get thickening hairspray, go figure since I have thick curly hair and don’t use hairspray

I contacted them twice and they reply “members are charged from the 1st-4th every month, I hope this clarifies” I always get charged by the second but I guess this month will be the 4th

Me neither. I haven’t been charged.
