I bought the bag. Inside is a 6 week supply of GRANDE LASH MD lash enhancing serum. This ALONE retails for $35.00. Second item is Deluxe Sephora waterproof 12 hour eye liner in black, Third is a nice deluxe STILA Magnificent Metals Glitter n Glow liquid eye shadow in shade Kitten Karma ( REALLY PRETTY, AND A NICE SIZE PRODUCT), Fourth is Deluxe Benefit Bad Gal volumizing mascara, Fifth is BITE BEAUTY Prismatic Multi Use Stick in ROSE PEARL, Lastly is a 3ML Deluxe size of OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Eye Cream. I bought a second one just for the Grande Lash Serum. Also. I love the bag. Just wanted to fill everyone in on the contents.:)

I’m just too spoiled by Boxycharm… I can’t bring myself to pay $20 for 6 samples. Not to mention, I’m going to guess I have, or just don’t want, most of the products. I’m extra that way. 😂😂😂

I ordered a box and it’s supposed to arrive tomorrow!! I’ve enjoyed the previous limited edition boxes, so I’m excited to see this one

Heck no to the glitter, wouldn’t even wear it if I was 20. Pretty disappointment for the roll out box.

I was going to get one before lunch because of FOMO. After I ate, I realized that I barely wear eye make up and I don’t do glitter. Easy skip.

Any super sleuths want to hazard a guess as to what is in the bags? I thought that Bite was primarily a lip product company. What glitter type eye products do these companies make?

Thanks, MeowKitty for guessing. None of these samples justifies this price to me because they are trial size products (and SephoraPlay isn’t really know for it’s generous sample sizes) so I would essentially be paying $10 more for access to a class and some information. I’ll wait and see what the next box is.

Are they going to restock since it’s on the website that it would be available online on June 27th only.

Wow, it is sold out already….

Looks like a black pencil eyeliner, Grande mascara, Stila liquid eyeshadow, Bite Beauty multistick, Olehenriksen eye cream (hopefully the new banana bright). Last item I am going to guess is a primer. I am hoping for glitter and glue, but not seeing it based on the pic above and brands listed.

How do you know what’s in it?

MeowKitty

These are just my guesses, I should have been more clear about that! These are based on what Sephora sells from the brands they listed and the swatches in the Play smarts photo. Grande cosmetics only sells a mascara, mascara primer, or lash and eyebrow serum on sephora.com, so I am guessing the swatched mascara is Grande. Similarly Olehenriksen’s only eye products are eye creams.

I just can never say no to the limited boxes

I already have several Stila magnificent metals and tons of black eyeliners so am not tempted by this one. This seems like a glorified Play box rather than a luxury brands box.

This is such a great idea! I cancelled play, but just got this box because I love the idea of having products to create one cohesive look along with a tutorial.

Paula

While this sounds exciting at first glance, it’s really not. It’s an overpriced Play box, without free shipping, and it’s only going to have eye makeup. Gimmick…

Michelle

Totally agree!! Sounds like a play box with 1 more product for an extra $9. Curious to see the review.

Given title and theme it will be a mini stila glitter liquid shadow in kitten I bet. I have a full size and it’s fantastic. The other colors are just as awesome. Great for easy cut crease night looks.

Well I’m normally all over these but I don’t do glitter and I need eye makeup like I need a hole in my head…so unless they release amazing spoilers gonna have to pass.

When I was a teen I searched for glitter products everywhere but they didn’t exist. I had one really nasty cosmetics person told me I was crazy to even think about glitter mascara. “You’d go blind if glitter got into your eyes” she told me, shaking her head like I was an idiot.

I can’t pass on a play box , so I ordered one. I don’t even wear glitter. But I sometimes do people’s makeup.

$20 for six “trial size” eye items? How many of those will be black eyeliners lol? I’d have to see full spoilers first to even consider it. I’m not interested in the livestream class.

Reply ButtonReply

Claudia

Luna as usual is spot on. I just read the description and all 6 items are “trial size” eye products. Glitter, huh?

Reply ButtonReply

Dana

Are the samples expected to be larger than in the regular Play box? I’m interested in trying new glitter products, but I don’t really care about that class, so I don’t want to pay $20 for something like the Stila shimmer and glow blister pack.

I’ve read that it’s actually available now online (just search for “glitter eye box”).

Luna

Oops…. I meant to take out the “I read” part (I was going with a different thought when I typed that 🙂 ), but I meant to say that it is definitely available online right now.

True I got it already 🙂

Rebecca

One will be $20 and the other $25. It’s a one time purchase

What’s in the $25 bag?

I checked the Sephora website. Looks like $20.

Found it! $20. Search for “play smarts” on the app.

Is this an additional subscription to the normal play boxes?

App says, “one-time purchase.”
