Looking for the latest spoiler for this box? Find it here:
I love tarte and I love their blush, so this is a stellar subscription box item for me! The formula is ingredient conscious and goes on so smoothly. It has a matte finish, and you can easily build color. (Plus there’s no fallout with this powder, and it stays put once it’s applied!)
PLAY! by Sephora is a monthly beauty and makeup subscription box. Each month, Sephora sends you a mix of six samples (including cosmetics, haircare, skincare, fragrances, and other beauty products) personalized to match your preferences and a PLAY! BOOK of tips and tricks.

Oh no 🙁 I signed up, received the welcome and confirmation email, and then a few hours later they sent and email saying “Goodbye’s are hard” and that my account has been canceled, on their website, under recent orders my order is gone :(. But there is No explanation as to why….awwww man 🙁

I’m really looking forward to getting this blush. It’s a color I can finally use LOL.
I wasn’t subscribed last year, so didn’t get it as a birthday gift. But even if I did, I would still be very happy to get a second one. So much better than getting another black eyeliner and mascara! Between Play and Ipsy, I’m on overload with those 2 things.

This is a bummer but for a much different reason: almost guaranteed not to work for me as a medium-tan skinned individual. *heavy sigh*

I have medium to tan skin and this works very well on me. Adds a lovely glow. If you Google the color you can see it on darker skin.

I know- that’s why I didn’t choose it for the birthday gift last year.

I’m excited to get this blush. Yes, I got this last year for my bday gift but my daughter stole it so I’m super excited to get a new one. The color is amazing!

I picked Caudalie’s birthday gift last year, so I’m excited for this blush. I received one in a different color with Allure and the Amazonian clay is a great formula. I’m glad I get to try it in a different shade!

As much as I love this blush (I have this sample size in the shade feisty) and it’s literally been lasting FOREVER….I am on Blush overload, so not sure how I feel about getting this…but I know there has been a couple months where I didn’t get the product that they said would be in everyone’s box, so maybe there’s a chance I won’t get it.

So excited! I also got it for my birthday last year and got to pan with it! Wanted to buy one but really didn’t want to spend $29 on the full size. Super happy to get this one in this color again!

I am thrilled about the blush! I dropped the one I got from last year so I’m happy to get another. I love the color.

I have been with play for 2 years, and I cancelled mine last week, too many recycling stuff, I had some of those item more than twice. And now a birthday gift from last year?? I am glad I cancelled, maybe will rejoin when they stop recycling.

I’m personally Happy to get this in my box. I gave mine to my mom last year. I don’t know how long it takes to expire but I’m sure it’s close. I just think Sephora could send out Diamonds in a box and people would prefer Rubies. You can’t make people happy that have been on the fence. For a $10 sub box Sephora does a good job IMHO. This box ALWAYS has a ton of negativity in the comment section. Just unsub already…sheesh

Not happy that this is an old b-day gift item… this might be the last straw for us, Sephora play!

I’m personally really happy to be getting this one… So I’ll be sticking around for this month for sure! I was just thinking I really want to try this, but I was waiting to finish my It Cosmetics and Laura Geller blushes first.

Awesome, so maybe 3 people can expect this in their box? 😂

It says all subscribers will get it. Does that usually happen where they say all, by not everyone gets it? :/ I was looking forward to getting this.
Reply
Kathie
Hi Shay. You’ll get it if they say we’re all getting it. This month’s June box they said we would all be getting the Clinique makeup remover and we did. 🙂
Betty
Exactly.

So I’m seeing many comments about receiving this tarte blush for their birthday gift. My Birthday Month is July, so does this mean I will receive a different & an extra item for my birthday next month??

You don’t get a birthday gift in your play box. It’s something Sephora stores. You can go to any Sephora store and pick up your birthday gift in your birthday month with no purchase required. You can also add it to an online order during your birthday month. Last year one of the choices was this blush but this year it’s glamglow or bite beauty.
Reply
Michelle Bross
No it was a last year’s birthday gift. This year it’s Glamglow or Bite Beauty

Everyone receives the same gift choice options for the whole year but this was last years gift not this year’s. So no you will not get anything extra
