Box 693 for me. I have thick, curly hair – I can’t for the LIFE of me figure out why they would send me a thickening spray? I love the DevaCurl Coconut Cream, too 🙁 I think I need to take a break from Sephora’s box for a while – I have a ton of black eyeliner and pore-reducing primers. It was fun to get the boxes at first, but now it just seems like I’m getting the same old stuff every month.

Me too, no need for thickening spray. This box is full of stuff they have already sent me.

Same here with the thick, curly hair. So lame. I’ve been wanting to try the DevaCurl Coconut Cream 🙁 I feel like I’m just getting the wrong box completely.

agreed! I have more primer and liner than I’ll use in a year. I think I’ll just do Target boxes and then pick and choose the ones I want.

Am I the only one who still has not been charged for May yet? I have had Sephora Play for almost a year now and by this point every month it has at least showed up under my recent orders by now.. it has charged my credit card but has not shown up at all on my Sephora.com account..

Would have liked 768 or 776, but got 693. 🙄 So, instead of getting 1 of the 3 teasers, I’m getting all 3. I’ve had the tatto Liner before from Sephora, I’ve gotten the exact same Becca from another sub box, this is the second time this year I’m getting Flowerbomb, I just got a sample of the mud mask in store with points. So only 2 things are new to me & I will probably be giving the hairspray away since I use one brand of hairspray. I think it’s about time to cancer this sub…

I’m getting 768 and I’m not very happy with it. There are none of the spoilers!! I resigned up just to try the Becca or KVD. Soooo disappointing.

I’m Box 719 and since I haven’t seen any spoilers for this box yet I went ahead and inquired via online chat. According to the agent, 719 includes the following (agent referred to it as Box C):
Box C Contains:
Buxom Lash Mascara ( SKU 2080349 )
Benefit The POREfessional Face Primer ( SKU 2080331 )
Sephora Collecton Mud Mask ( SKU 2080372 )
Alterna Caviar CC Cream for Hair 10-in-1 Complete Correction ( SKU 2080547 )
bareminerals Mineral Veil ( SKU 2080513 )
Atelier Cologne Clementine California ( SKU 2081222 )

I just got the thickening spray 2 months ago from Play! I don’t understand why there are so many repeats. There are tons of things they could send that we’ve never gotten before.

Please- no more POREfessional samples. Nobody wants them.
And am I the only person who hates Flowerbomb? I can’t stand the smell of it.

Eleven years ago my then-fiancee gave me a bottle for christmas. I didn’t love it but wore it anyway. Two months later we had a horrible, messy breakup. I’m going to throw that sample away on the spot. At least I want everything else that’s coming in my box.

Thickening spray for a curly, frizzy profile? Sephora’s beauty advisors just get us 😒
Reply
Meenah
Same here. I have super thick coarse frizzy hair so the last thing I need is a thickening spray. I always seem to get the box that looks like it has afterthoughts in it. The Deva Curl boxes would have made sense based on my profile.

I get what they tried to do with the anniversary box but good lord, I have a millionnnnn of those little Porefessional tubes hiding in nooks around my bathroom, not to mention liquid liners and packets of the mud mask. Fingers crossed this Becca compact doesn’t arrive broken, as they typically do. Not so thrilled for #693.
Siiigh, #727 would have been a slam dunk for me.

Dangit! I finally got charged so I can see which box I’m getting. It’s 693. There were two boxes (so far) that I would have LOVED, but I didn’t get either of them. Instead I’m getting the one I’m second-least interested in. Boooooo.
Sigh. Oh well. I am vaguely curious about the thickening spray, anyway.

I’m getting 693 and I can’t decide how I feel about it. Nothing new in here (except for the mask), which is really why I sign up for subscription boxes, but then again I love every single product I’m getting. I don’t need any more primer for the rest of my life, though!

SO excited about #693! I wish I was getting Black Opium instead of Flowerbomb, but everything else I will take and use!

I’m getting 693 too, and it’s noting they haven’t sent before – thinking of cancelling this subscription. Allure beauty box and ipsy are so much better. I’ve tried everything in this box, feel like this is just old samples they threw together. So disappointed….

Please be careful with Allure. It used to be one of my FAVS. Ben getting it for a year. However, the past 2 boxes haven’t been as good as the free ( just pay shipping) Wal-Mart boxes. I’m giving them 1 more month and I’m canceling. I will not be alone In that. Last month the most expensive item we got was SIMPLE brand make up wipes. idk what the deal is, but 1,000s of subscriber’s are feeling the very same way. Been subbing IPSY for over 5 years and won’t EVER QUIT. <3 ipsy!!!

Last month (April) with Allure, everyone got a nudestix worth $24. The simple wipes were in March. While the wipes were worth $7, they were not the most expensive item (unless maybe you have some variant box). In March, we also got the MUFE foundation worth $7, the MUFE lipstick mini worth $8.80, an eyeliner worth over $11, and the Oribe hairspray worth $16.92.
As for Walmart, aren’t people still waiting on their Winter Boxes, while WM is busy promoting the latest spring box?

Ugh. Maybe I’ve just subscribed to too many boxes for too long…but another black eyeliner?? Most of my items will be donated. Perhaps it’s time to unsub for a while…

I’m getting #693. Glad to get the porefessional, but i would’ve loved to get the devacurl product. The BB thickening spray is not needed for me since my curls dont need any more volume. Would’ve really liked to get #768.

Same here! They must have goofed up on some part of the profile this month.

Same here. I love the Porefessional so I’m good with that but I have thick wavy hair to so what the heck do I need with a voluminizing spray!

SAME. I have thick wavy hair, so I really don’t see the point in receiving a thickening spray, but oh well. I really wish I would’ve gotten box 727. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When should I sign up for Play if I want the May box instead of April? Right now the Sephora site still says April is the current box.

You gotta sub by the 8th of the month to get that month’s box

Right now. It said to sign up by May 8th to get the May box. I just signed up about 5 minutes ago. 🙂

I’m pretty sure that’s just a mistake on their part — I signed up at the end of April & thought I was getting an April box, but was only charged for May.

What a letdown for an anniversary box. I imagine if you’re a newer subscriber these may be exciting for you but as someone who has had this box for a while now it’s repeat after repeat. Don’t get me wrong I love the KVD eyeliner but maybe a different color would have been nice. A different version of the Porefessional like the matte or pearl instead. I’ll use just about everything in 693 I just wish they would offer newer samples of products instead of recycling the same stuff over and over.

I’ve been DYING to try DevaCurl for the longest time now, but of course I get 701 and not one of the boxes with DevaCurl… 🙄 if anyone wants to trade anything, I don’t want anything in my box.

What a bummer – I have 693 and there’s not a darn thing that I either haven’t tried or even like. What a disappointing box. It’s almost like they have excess old samples that need to go instead of giving us new and exciting stuff.
