My box #346 got here today and it’s quite a good box. Much better than the past 2 months. I can use everything in it other than the bronzer shade is a little off for me. But it will make a great eyeshadow color. I’m thrilled to get the NARS eyeshadow primer.
I just wish they would stop sending me those awful shampoo/conditioner packets. There’s never enough to do even one wash on my long hair. And they are so darn messy to use too. They either need to send them in little bottles or just stop sending them.

Soooo did anyone else get/remember the email that said if you’ve been a subscriber for more than 6 months, there will be a surprise in the August box??
Does anyone know what that is yet???

I guess it says “something special coming your way in August”. I wonder what that means though

It’s a free makeover. It was posted previously.

My box number in order says 395 and Sephora play app shows contents of box variation 1 i.e Anastasia brow, Ouai products, Lancôme mascara, MUFE lipstick in c11, Lancôme serum. My ideal box would be with hooka, Lancôme mascara, Ouai products… but this is good enough

So 361 won’t get any lipstick? D:

Amber M
Nope just the plumper gloss. None of these really excite me. Some of them are repeats and I’m not sure how they apply to my profile. I thought for sure I’d get the volume spray
Jeri
Omg I’m loving this months box…I originally really wanted the Lancôme serum but ended up redeeming points for 3 of them lol so i ended up not needing it anymore BUT I’m sooo glad I get to try the sleeping mask!! I was going to but but glad I didn’t!
Box #379:
– NARS eyeshadow base (needed a new one!)
– Grande Lips plumper in Clear (I had the full size of this and I love it )
-Makeup forever rouge Lipstick in C211 (such a pretty shade!)
-Laneige sleeping mask
-Moroccan oil dry texture spray (I’ve been into these lately especially the living proof one so I can’t wait to try this one)
-Amika velveteen dream Shampoo & Conditioner
The only thing I’ve owned is the lip plumper, everything else is all new to me! Can’t wait to get it! Probably one of the best play boxes I’ve received

I am soooooo excited—that’s my box! I also LOVE dry texture spray. Living Proof and DryBar are FAB! I was hoping for the mini brow gel (to stick in my purse) but I’m excited to try the NARS shadow base. I hope it is as good as Too Face’s Shadow Insurance—it is the only thing that keeps my eye makeup in place:)

I thought the box number is the last three digits of the item number on your invoice, is that right? My item number is 395, but I don’t see a spoiler for that one. Any thoughts?

Aww, man. I’m a little disappointed. The two things I wanted least (bronzer and yet another clay mask) are in this box. *sigh* What’s a middle aged woman gotta do to get some anti-aging products?!? I have not received that lipstick color yet, so that doesn’t make me sad. I could take or leave the brow gel. REALLY wanted the NARS.

I feel like box 239 is a leftover box. The most expensive full size product in this box is $28.00?! While other boxes, every product for full size starts at $28, and Sephora wonders why people get box envy. I never had any problems with Sephora till a couple months ago and now every box I get is a cheap, worthless box. I dont purchase samples for products that are cheap to begin with, I purchase samples of expensive products to see if I like them. Defeats the whole purpose for signing up for this box. Suggestion for Sephora: 1. STOP GIVING OUT FOIL PACKETS 2. release your full display of samples and allow people to choose 5 that they want. If there is limited amounts to choose from, make it on a first come, first choice basis. Stop this madness!!! I will be quitting anyways, and going with the more expensive Macys.

I just checked the Sephora app (click on the “Play! by Sephora” section), and that is really what we’re getting for box 239 :/ I mean, I like the brow gel and origins clay mask, but I already have the Hoola and this would be my 4th lipstick from MUFE -.- I’d have loved the collagen moisturizer and the NARS eye primer…

Man I hope not. All the stuff i didn’t want in one box. Again. I should cancel.

Me too! Dang it!
MissBailey
This is my box. I’m OK with it. Glad to get another brow gel but not excited with yet another MUFE in C211 or another clay mask.
Reply
Kearstin
Miss Bailey, I agree. I SWEAR if I get that C211 MUFE again I’m cancelling. I have 3-4 and it’s been less than a year 😦

Horrible!!!

I have #239 and I’m super excited about the Hoola and the brow gel. I just don’t understand why they send me the Rose clay mask. My profile says “dry and sensitive skin” and the mask is for oily to normal skin.

Yes, there are multiple variations each month.

Here’s what i was told via email was in box 353. I hope it’s not correct
-Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel in Clear
-Make Up For Ever Artist Rouge Lipstick in C-211
-Morrocanoil Dry Texture Spray
-Amika Bust Your Brass S/C
-Grande LIPS Grande LIPS Hydrating Lip/Plumper (Clear)
-Origins Original Skin Retexturizing Mask with Rose/Clay

It’s correct and I’m PISSED. None of us are blondes, the MUFE is a repeat, so is the Moroccan Spray. No agent available but I’m seriously furious about how not matched to the profile this is!
Reply
Maria
I have curly virgin brown hair so the Amika and Moroccan Oil are a no go. I’m a Cruelty-Free vegan so MUFE and Origins are out. I’m ok with giving it away. I’m just hoping that the Grande Lips sample isn’t the same size as the sample you get as part of the 3 samples with any purchase. If it’s a decent size I’ll be ok with that and the ABH.
Nicole
This is what i was told i was getting for box 353 via email. I hope it’s wrong, i don’t even have blonde hair.
-Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel in Clear
-Make Up For Ever Artist Rouge Lipstick in C-211

-Grande LIPS Grande LIPS Hydrating Lip/Plumper (Clear)
-Origins Original Skin Retexturizing Mask with Rose/Clay

I’m with you, box 353 is a total miss for me this month. MUFE must be giving Sephora some serious kickbacks to unload that C211 shade. It keeps showing up in boxes every few months and just refuses to go away quietly.

This is my box and I am finally excited about my box variation! Don’t really need a volumizing shampoo and conditioner but that’s just a bonus and it is Dry Bar so I can deal with that! Happy I’m getting Dennis Gross, Nars, Benefit, and MUFE in this box. I got all the products I was hoping for!

Sephora is being really stingy with box number reveals this month. I tried twice to coerce the information out of them for box #353 but struck out both times. 🙁

Hi Frances! I called them the other day and they said they are no longer giving out the products your getting in your box. You have to wait for your email they send you. I wrote this in the last Play! Post here on MSA with a little more info on that post. They are giving so many different answers to everyone’s questions that I don’t know what to believe! I did try calling 3 or 4 times and got the same answer. I have box 239. If anyone knows what’s in the box I would appreciate if you would post it🙂. Thank you!
Reply
Frances
Hi Charlotte – I thought I would try anyway, sometimes you get a rep that is willing to give out the info. It was worth a shot 🙂
