U can have my #353 if it makes u smile!! As for me I’m canceling bc of it. Alllllllllll I wanted In This World was the Nars primer, instead there’s 2 items I previously received (ended up buying full size ABH gel FROM SEPHORA😒), I don’t use nor care 4 mask bc my skin’s weird & Super oily, they’ve sent several dry shampoos to this woc w/ natural hair who has no use 4 them which brings me 2 the shampoo/ cond for blondes smh Oh yessss let me not 4get the lip plumper!! For an Afro-American 🤣😂 Comical! Angelina Jolie & I run close or my lips are bigger lol. So yea I’m totally over it.

I know I have natural hair and am black why are sending this to use. All they say is fill out your profile. It has my color iq and everything so why send this box to me I’m so over Sephora play now.

I’ve been toying with canceling and after this one, I am. I try to look at the overall value and if the samples end up a couple bucks a piece, I’m good with that. The shampoo and conditioner is not a deluxe sample. It’s one use, foil pack and would probably be a freebie in other circumstances. I don’t use highlighter and that’s the exact highlighter I got (I think in the Ipsy box) this month. I also don’t use eye shadow, so this month is a big miss, as have been the last several. I agree with one of the other comments, they don’t seem to take your profile into consideration. Hate to say good-bye to Sephora, but it’s time.

I’m pretty sure the profile doesn’t count for anything. My mom and I have started getting the same exact boxes lately. For the last 3 months our boxes have been identical. This wouldn’t be a big deal if she wasn’t my mother and 20+ years older than me amd we weren’t so different profile wise. dry skin for her – normal to combo for me. She has blue eyes and mine are brown. Her hair is thick, dry, processed and ashy blond and mine is so dark brown it’s almost black, baby fine and untouched by chemicals. I need help with my giant pores and fine lines and she needs help with dryness and advanced signs of aging. Beauty wise she and I are extremely different, but we keep getting the same exact Play box. I even called Sephora abt this in July. I told them how different we are and asked why we’re getting the same box every month, but they had no answer for me. And here we are, the following month, and getting the exact same box again. I am so close to cancelling! I already dumped boxycharm bc they kept sensing me boxes of useless items and they were my favorite sub. I have no problem canceling what is usually my least favorite box of every month.

How many variations do the boxes typically have per month? I thought I read three somewhere, but it appears there are more… Mine is out for delivery and is #385, which I can’t find spoilers for.

I was hoping for box 3 pictured above, but I’m getting 346. I know a lot if ppl are wanting 346 and it’s crazy that they sent it to me. I don’t understand the process they use to pick who gets which box, if there’s a process at all.

I’m really regretting subbing to Birchbox instead of Sephora for three months. These all look way better than what I got from Birchbox this month including my extra free box.

Boxes 239 and 338 are about the same. I would like to trade also for the nars eye primer… and the ciate highlighter is really nice also. They sent me pictures. Does anyone know how ro change the profile to get exactly what you want?

#387 here. Anyone have any word on that yet?

Luna
Oh yay! I was starting to feel like the only one with this box. This is the first time I’ve seen someone mention it. 🙂 Oh, and no word yet for me. 🙁

I’m wondering if our box is the “box variation 3” photo listed, because it still doesn’t have a number attached to it yet. That box includes the Laniege sleep mask, Moroccanoil texture spray, Grande lip plumper, Nars eyeshadow primer, Ciate highlighter, and Amika Velveteen shampoo and conditioner packets. My profile is brunette/dry, olive/combination/aging.

Does anyone know if the Grande Lips product is clear, or tinted?

It is clear, I just received my box today 🙂

OK thanks for confirming! 🙂

I’m getting 353 and it finally pushed me to cancel. I’ve received all of these samples except for two of them.
And they’re sending me shampoo for blonde hair 🤔
I’m a brunette…. Just proves they pay zero attention to our profiles.
Reply
Aesha
same. I just received 353 in the mail today and more than half of these samples are repeats from the past. I also am a brunette so idk where they’re getting the idea to send me a one time use cool blonde shampoo/conditioner when my profile clearly states I have brown hair? Just went on sephora’s website and cancelled. so over these trash samples that have nothing to do with my beauty profile
Reply
Clary
Exactly! I’m probably gonna cancel. I’ve had triple of so many products including these ones. I think i’ve gotten that lip shade 4 times now.

I geek the same about the shampoo. My hair is dk brown. I have med-dk skin So why they keep sending lipstick colors for fair peyote is beyond me. It’s like they screwed up entirely with me on this. Yup

395 looks great. Too bad I’m getting 239…… Not a fan.

I just got that Ciate highlighter in my Ipsy bag!! It’s surprisingly really pretty.

I shop at Sephora enough (because their return policy is amazing!) to get all of these samples with out having to sub. You get 3 each time online when you check out that you pick. Plus you can just walk into a Sephora and ask for a sample of any product in the store and they will give it to you.

I guess there is still no box reveal for box 338

I am getting 338 and someone online posted their 338 is the same products listed in 239 above.
