Play! By Sephora Luxe Box – FULL SPOILERS!

I’ll be returning. Havent even opened yet but after these reviews dr on5 want too.

Ummmm😞…so do you “collect” these “collectable ” cards as you would with baseball and/or Pokemon cards..🤔?
Lmao😆😂🤣.
#Ridiculous

Anybody know when volume 2 will be coming out?!

My box was delivered in record time! I liked the samples well enough although, there isn’t anything I’m super excited about. They can keep the cards, what is the point of them? They must be included to make the manufacturers happy. I can’t see myself using the bag, so I’m gifting it. I have to agree that $15 should have been the cost. For $25 we can get a Beautyfix or Allure box with a lot more bang for our buck. Still, I do love that the samples were new to me and Iblove trytnrw oroducts, so overall I’m satisfied.

So I received my box today (actually, it was delivered to a neighbor but thankfully she brought it over to me) and I’m even more disappointed now that I see it. The la mer is only .10 (most eye cream samples are .17) and the sk-II is soooooo tiny for a face cream, like single use tiny. The rest of the sizes are average. I realize how pricey this stuff is, but they have done the la mer as free GWP before, they just sell out quickly.

Typically I don’t complain about the many boxes that I subscribe to but this has to be the worst luxe box they have ever offered.

Just got my box today and am disappointed. Although the brands are good, the particular products they sent are … meh. At first I thought the bag was cute…until I kept smelling a bad odor and realized it was the pink bag. It smells so bad it will likely go to the garbage unless I return the bag and contents to Sephora for a refund.

FOMO made me buy before seeing the spoilers!

I posted a comment but it does not appear to show up. I’ll repeat it. I received my box on Wed. At first I was disappointed, but when I returned later to read the card info. and identify the products I was quite satisfied. Nobody can expect Sephora to include deluxe samples of higher end products as it would be cost prohibitive. All the items are new to me and will give them all a try. I like the bag which has a suggested RV of $15, so you are left with $10 for six samples which I think is fair. I also received three free samples plus a Foundation Sample Bag which I was able to add. The sample bag includes several foundation samples plus a small beauty blender. Overall I am happy with everything and will enjoy using products I would not normally try.

Just got it in the mail. I estimate the value is $91.18.
Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill mascara $6.40
Guerlain L’Or Radiance Primer $12.33
YSL Tatouage Couture Liquid Matte Lip Stain #1 (I think it’s 2mL in size) $12
SK-II RNA Power Radical New Age Cream $6.81
Atelier Cologne Iris Rebelle $10.63
La Mer The Eye Concentrate $43

I received my box yesterday (Wed.). At first I was disappointed, being used to bigger sized samples, but when I came back later, read the cards and identified each product I concluded that it was a good deal for luxury items. So I think it is a matter of exploring unknown territory and giving them a try. Nobody really thinks Sephora can send deluxe samples of higher end brands for $25. The bag itself is quite attractive and has an approximate retail value of $15. If I take the price off for this then we’re paying $10 for the six samples: so worked out this way it is a good deal. Plus I got three free samples plus a sample foundation bag which includes several foundation samples and mini beauty blender. Overall I feel I got my money’s worth.

I hope we can return as that’s what I’ll be doing as well. This is very disappointing indeed.

Question for those who think all recent samples are too small-

Does Sephora dictate to these manufacturers what size these samples should be, or is it totally up to which ever company offers them what they are willing to charge to reseller beauty box sub companies?

Personally I think this whole “sample sized” promotion has gotten out of hand- fueled in part by consumers who feel entitled to heavily discounted try me samples.

All these little containers and packaging costs money- and most if not all beauty companies offer trial sizes at substantial more money.

We are getting what we pay for! Add in shipping and handling charges and what do you honestly expect?

Returns are offered by every company I deal with- so buy the full size and if you dislike it- return it. Easy to do.

I don’t earn your paycheck, so spend your cash as you please- but for many consumers these boxes offer a variety to try out without commitment or the hassle of returns.

The onslaught on negativity that can sometimes overtake these posts are discouraging. It becomes a hinderance to those of us who want to read positive or helpful opinions or to be able to ask another poster for input if you have a focused question.

Sephora will sell thousands of these kits- they will certainly make a profit from them- but they aren’t a non profit so good for them.

When I can score a good deal in my mind I jump on it. So will many others regardless of the opinions of others.

I think I need to quit buying these. They sucker me in every single time and every time I’m disappointed. I already have so many mascaras that I haven’t used and I’ll never ever wear that lip color, so I paid $25 for the skin care samples and the bag. It had better be one hell of a bag and the samples had better be completely full. I might just return the damn thing. I’m so disappointed… with myself. I could have just saved the money I spent on this, used my full $50 gift card, kicked in an extra $25 and bought the Natasha Denona palette for $75. Such a bummer.

I am so disappointed. I love Sephora, I am Rouge, I got the box before this one and was disappointed. I decided the Luxe box for 25$ would make up for it…..nope! In no way was this a special box!
I can’t believe they would pass this super lame box on thier faithful loyal customers.
So disappointed..

I am not surprised this is so bad. Sephora makes no effort anymore at all. They are overpriced and under value.

Has anyone used the La Mer eye cream? Does it work?

I Bought 2 -UHG ! Please can someone explain what math they used to get $110 value ? Funny they didn’t show the “value “ on 2 items . I’m more excited about the free samples I got with my order and the KVD sinner perfume I spent 100points on.

Oh, God, this is disappointing. I hate liquid lipsticks, couldn’t care less for insanely overpriced La Mer or SK-II stuff that’s no different from any other cream under the sun, dislike the Guerlain primer which just sits on top of your skin like a sticky mess. Four out. The perfume I’d give away, and the mascara would try. So, one item out of six, and even then I have 10 full-sized mascaras in line. Oh, right, the cards and the bag!

Thank you, but no, thank you. I got it right after launch…

I’m glad I didn’t buy. I got the La Mer set from Nordstrom which has the eyecream and the rest of the items have been GWPs at some point. Not a bad box but for those of us who are on product overload…not impressive.

So disappointing, When this arrives tomorrow I’m returning it – I will never order a Luxe box again.

Regarding the product repeats from Sephora overall, what would be smart is if they put repeats in boxes numbered for new subscribers. Lower chance of disappointment! It wouldn’t be that hard to index what was in previous box numbers to ensure a fair amount of variety.

I tried to cancel my order but the samples had already shipped, which must be a speed record for Sephora. After reading so many bad comments, I don’t want it now. I’m going to try to think of it as a mini Net a Porter sample box, I guess. I love their boxes and mostly, they have these brands of samples too.

I’ve gotten that SKII cream sample before (also in a $25 value pack) and it is absolutely ridiculously tiny, like less volume than most sample packets. On the outside it looks like a regular jar but the inside is half of a sphere, if that makes sense, like a pod, which you can kind of see in the picture. Probably my biggest disappointment from Sephora. The single use I got out of it didn’t seem all that special either. I think the bag is the most appealing thing in this box.

I like it, $15 would’ve been a better price, there are really tiny. I haven’t tried anything in the box and the perfume sample is pretty big, so I’m happy, despite the fact that I got a bigger La Mer size in Nordstrom GWP. I’m not disappointed, who uses the bags anyway…?

need some better subscriptions i have alot already any suggestionsi have IPSY,BIRCHBOX,SEPHORA ,LIP MONTHLY, BOXYCHARM, COLOUR CURATE, ALLURE, MACYS,EAR FLEEK ,WALMART ,TARGET ,ROSE WAR PANTY POWER, LOLA, …..CAN ANYONE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ON ANY OTHERS
