Sorry but I am gonna play devil’s advocate a little. I know beauty boxes are not perfect because of the size of the products, repetitions, wrong shades etc. But it seems like some of the problems stem from our hoarding and FOMO behavior.

I know subscription is an another addiction as website itself indicates, but if we complain more than we enjoy, maybe it’s time to control the addiction a little? If we have the 5-6 of the same product coming from different boxes, maybe we subscribed to more than enough boxes? or if we still have mini size samples from last year, (if we like it) what about using them throughout the year?, (if we like but couldn’t finish in a year?) what about tossing away the expired ones?, (if we don’t like it) what about giving them away to someone who would use it? If we try every way but still so many samples hanging around home what about unsubscribing till we deal with the situation, using up stuff and making a clean start?

Perfectly said.

If I open a box and it doesn’t feel like Christmas…. The error is mine.

I’m going to lose my mind if I get another Caudalie Vino – ANYTHING! Every freaking box has the same Caudalie Vino product and I don’t need another 🙁

The same with the UD setting spray. I still have my last two bottles from last year.

I would love box 1! Any idea what box number?

Unfortunately I don’t have any idea, these are the boxes sent via influenster to some people, so probably there are no item numbers attached to the boxes.

We need 2 comment sections – one for those of us who are here for spoilers because we subscribe and want to know what we’re getting, and one for the people who don’t subscribe anymore, just unsubscribed, or are about to unsubscribe but like to come on here and complain. It makes it so difficult to weed through the garbage to find the actual useful comments on here for those of us who subscribe…

I agree with Erin.
I must have missed the memo re: switching from box # to letter? Anybody?? That’s no fun.

I have never complained about any of my subs. However, I think Sephora needs to.step up to full size products. With all the subs out there will full size, I’m going to be cancelling all that only do samples. I am willing to pay more for full size subs. My favorite part is Sephora each month is the bag, until last month was a zip lock clear plastic pouch. I really didn’t care for it at all.

Reply ButtonReply

Sher

The cute bags were sometimes the best part of the box. The stiff useless plastic is a toxic waste.

Reply ButtonReply

Rebecca Smith

They have switched over to those bags now,I hate both lol w/ipsy you at least get a real make up bag ,also ipsy is coming out w/a full size box w/full size delux make up bags for $25 . I still like play better I think for now but just an idea

Reply ButtonReply

ECVM

I agree with you. It seems like another Birchbox to me which also has the tiny samples that you can barely get any results from. This is how I find new products to use when I get samples but if the sample is so tiny that you get only 1 use out of it then it defeats the purpose of even subscribing. Last month’s bag had a tube face mask and you can clearly see that it was not full of the product. I also like the bag because it has a lot of helpful uses but not that zip bag.

LINDSAY

I totally agree! I’ve been a sub for over 2 yrs now & they really need to pic it up.

ok i am really getting tired of receiving caudalie on every month or every other month’s box. why? arent we receiving new products sample. please make the next month better.

Reply ButtonReply

Shannon

I know people get disappointed by receiving repeat products.. but remember, Sephora is at the mercy of the brands producing these sample/deluxe sample sizes. The only brand they can control is the Sephora brand! And if nothing else, no one is obligated to purchase a subscription box if they are disappointed in the service. Just my $.02. 🙂

Reply ButtonReply

Courtney

They should be sending out the samples they are selling in the Luxe boxes to the Play subscribers. That’s what I signed up for…to try new products…not get the same old samples recycled every three months.

Reply ButtonReply

Charlotte

Hoping for the serum; I don’t have any interest in the makeup setting spray. Last month was my first month with Play, and I wasn’t impressed; two my samples were one-use only, and my box was the only one without a lip product or scent – I got a plain brown eye pencil instead. BORING. If this month is a bust, too, I’m canceling.

Reply ButtonReply

Christy

I would love to get the brown eye pencil! Would swap for the lip products and scents I got.

Reply ButtonReply

Erin

Please please PLEASE send me the serum, Sephora! 🙏 I use all Caudalie skin care products. Last time I “received” a Caudalie product in my bag, however, the glass container of essence shattered and they couldn’t, or wouldn’t, replace my item. 😢 I’m pretty sure any makeup user by now has used the Urban Decay setting spray. I want something new to try!

Karly

I would be more interested in the serum. I love my Sephora play box and am always surprised how many negative comments are posted.

Same Same!

I’m thinking that although I’ve been a loyal PLAY! subscriber since the very beginning the boxes are just not what they were & like others have stated are getting “boring”; so I believe I will be cancelling this monthly box along with the Birchbox cancellation. I feel like they have both just been riding the fine line for much too long at this point. It’s been fun, but I’m just not digging the items Sephora is sending & haven’t for a while now.

Beautyfix.com is my favorite, they are the price combined play and birchbox!

I’d like either but really want that serum!!! 🙌🙌🙌

I really think it’s time to cancel. It’s always repeats and the samples are small. They could make this a really great sub box but they choose not to.

EatSpamISam

Caudalie is my new favorite! I hope to get that in my box.

These spoilers have FINALLY made me unsubscribe after getting Play for 2.5 years. It was the last box I still subbed to (after trying out at least 30 different boxes over 4 years), so I have zero now. I just have too much stuff, even with donating, gifting and ebaying a good amount of it. It’s time to stop. I hope to rejoin one day when/if I ever need beauty products again, but that won’t be for a loooong time. It’s been a fun 4 years on this ride. Thanks, MSA, for adding so much to the fun!! (I’ll still read this site, I can’t quit cold turkey. :-D)

Lol @mary k , you need to start sending me some products gurl! Makeup is never too much for me 😇

I feel this way and I’ve only been subbing for a little over 6 months! I can’t imagine 4 years with of product!

Reply ButtonReply

Eve Delaney

I think everyone, just about, has received samples of these products at some point. In their play, gwp, free samples or rewards. Im thinking they need to get with some of the other brands, the newer brands and quit with all the repeats. If Im saying this it must be bad because in all my time with play I have never complained about the items Ive receieved in my boxes.

Reply ButtonReply

Kim

With all the new brands that have been arriving at Sephora, it is disappointing they are sending out samples of cult favorites that have been around forever. Neither of these are bad products but it’s not exciting to get samples of stuff that has been around forever. Especially with all the new products Sephora has gotten. Glad I cancelled.

Reply ButtonReply

Melissa

Exactly!! Makeup brands are coming out with new stuff so incredibly frequently these days, and they’re choosing to include things like UD spray and Benefit Hoola bronzer that the majority of people have already tried. I would assume the high majority of people subbed to Play! are not new to makeup, and would like a taste of new products coming out. I don’t understand how Sephora isn’t getting better samples. Maybe the monthly price needs to be a bit higher.

Reply ButtonReply

Reyna Alcala

How many ppl have more than one Eyeko eyeliner? They need to stop putting that in all our sub boxes. And Sephora needs to make a full-sized play monthly subscription,I mean come on the products are there. They’re not a poor company.

JennR

Yay! I’d love the Caudelie, but would be happy with either since I’ve never tried either one. A lot of time I feel like I’m the only person who is happy with my Play sub; so many people seem to complain about the products they get. I guess I’m easy to please for $10 a month, lol!

Reply ButtonReply

SrirachaSara

I’m generally happy with my boxes too. I rarely complain. Even if it’s repeats I’ll use it as it saves me from buying.

Kal

exactly! or it makes a easy present stuffer for friends or younger relatives just getting into makeup.
