Play! By Sephora August 2018 FULL Spoilers Box #338 & #361!

I received Box 346. I guess at least there are a few samples in this box that I will try like the one use shampoo & conditioner packets, lipstick, Dr Dennis skin cream, and maybe the MOROCCANOIL Dry Texture Spray. So I guess 3 out of 5 samples isn’t too bad. I don’t use eyeshadow base and I don’t use bronzers. I would have used more samples if I would have gotten a different box. I would have loved to have gotten the brow gel. My box just feels very generic and does Not feel personalized at all. Sephora’s beauty profile is very basic and needs to have preferences for what kind of items we like and what items we don’t like but I’m sure filling millions of boxes each month with products that a subscriber likes and dislikes is probably much more difficult. So I do get it but I’m wondering lately if I’m wasting my money with some of these boxes that I receive each month when there is usually 2-3 samples in every box that I don’t like and don’t use.

I wonder what determines what Sephora Box we actually get because I can see by reading many comments that our beauty preferences sure don’t. Could it be what region we live in or something else? If so that’s Not cool.

After finding out what box I will be receiving tomorrow and reading the comments on here, I cancelled my subscription. This was my very first box and I had high hopes for it because of the beauty profile. However, it seems from box #338 and the comments on here that Play by Sephora completely disregards the beauty profile… I am olive toned and do NOT need a bronzer, I have very dry skin and that clay mask does not suit me at all… I do not have a use or need for that brow gel or the living proof hair styler… the only thing they got right was the bonus sample which will be one use for me if I am lucky because I have very long hair. My dream box would have been #361. I subscribe to other boxes who get it right, so I gave this one a chance and it was a horrible FAIL!

How do you know what box # you are getting?

I’m going to call and make a complaint and cancel because this box has gone downhill. Why are they sending a WOC with natural hair a box with texture and blonde hair products. I’m getting the allure box and might try boxycharm. They seem to have good reviews

My order number ends in 379 but, I received box 346. 😂 Not complaining since 379 is mostly samples I’ve tried before. I lucked out!

So disappointment in Play my daughter and I get the exact same box all the time she’s young and opposite skins and hair then me. This month #338 and box # 239 so out shampoo type is different. Yep if not better next month canceling. Will do BoxyLux or another Allure box instead of these rehashed samples in play I have been getting.

This bag is such a disappointment because I’m black and can’t wear most of the stuff in this box. Every month it’s at least two or more items that are not for me. I think I might just cancel my subscription and get an extra ipsy bag because it seem as if I’m wasting money with this subscription.

I got box 338, yesterday i was so thrown back at how box 239 and 338 looks just alike.. its crazy how out all the subscriptions boxes that i keep getting the same makeup forever rouge lipstick, that and the kat von d studded lipstick in double dare. I guess those are the only samples that they make.. i will be gifting this also. Im thinking about cancelling this subscription after 4 konths. I loked my other bags because they were good. This one is a disappointment..i dont want the hoola bronzer i have 3 contour palettes for that. I dont want the ouai shamppo and conditioner, im tired of that also. Its getting annoying. Hopefully september will be better or.im cancelling for giod.ni can keep my $10.and go to colourpop’s website.

Sorry for the vent… Sephora has so many products, they can give better samples… just saying. I really like their box.. not the same samples recycled.

I have 361 and I’m meh on it. I like the sleeping mask and am always interested in eye shadow bases. Other than that there’s nothing great here.

I am getting 338. I like everything except for Living Proof (have so much of it already).

Where are the spoilers for box 387? 🙁

I feel like Sephora is either not trying to curate boxes towards our profiles at all, or they are trying so hard to keep them secret that they’re screwing up. I’m clearly listed as brunette and received blonde hair shampoos?! I’m African American 🤦🏻‍♀️ This is like the 3rd Sephora play that has been a TOTAL miss for me. If next month isn’t redeeming, I’m out!

How are box #338 and box # 239 different? They look the same to me.

It seems that mine is the only box NOT getting the awesome Makeup For Ever lipstick, which is VERY disappointing. What do they base this on anyway? I don’t recall whether or not I filled out a profile when I started this box last year, but I do know that lip color products are my favorite things to get in sample boxes and I definitely would have made that known.

i’m getting tired of the ouai shampoo/conditioner samples. I feel I’ve received plenty. . . I know they are a bonus item . . but still . . .

I also wish I was getting the Laneige sleeping mask, because I love it! But other than the ouai hair products, every thing else in my box is new to me – which is the purpose of a sample box.
