Play! by Sephora #780 Subscription Box Review – September 2018

I’m so disappointed I didn’t get the Nudestix. I got a Marc Jacobs eyeliner instead (not full size, tho). Just my luck to get the one box out of a dozen that has an eyeliner, when I don’t wear eyeliner.

Honestly, I have oily skin, and that Clinique moisturizer isn’t hardly enough even for me. Might be a good pick for a teenager.

I received my box today….. i really like the perfume, mascara, the warming mask and the marc Jacobs foundation in deep. I did receive the Boscia cactus water…it looks like a deluxe size but i dont know what to do with it. I dont plan on using it….

I got that perfume sample it’s smells awfully bad on me.

I know I have way too much makeup and skincare right now to go back at this particular moment in time, but I’m loving so much about this box and the changes Sephora has made to it. The new bag is a nice change, though I think I’d rather have no bag at all. (Seriously, I have a lot of bags, thanks to Ipsy and Sephora.) And I’m hearing you can now use the Play Pass online? I hope that’s true. That mascara, by the way, is one of my favorites. It doesn’t flake or budge on me at all, and it goes on beautifully!

I like the drawstring bags. I also liked last year’s plastic see through bag with the snap. Similar to this but this feels like a throwaway, although I did read that they encourage you to use it as an airline travel bag to meet the FFA regulations. It would have been nice to have it in the thicker plastic with a zipper so it could be used more than once. As for the products, it is nice to recieve some new items I never heard of and a new release by Clinique. Finally a Sephora branded item that is larger than one inch. Looking forward to trying the mascara. I love my sephora boxes for rhe high end skin care samples that I can’t usually get other places and all these appear to be nice and full. Most boxes I get are wins but there are always a couple that are not very good and that’s the way it happens sometimes. I am sorry for those of you who got the packet sample box. I would call and complain, maybe they’ll send a new one, give you points or something like that as it sounds way below theor normal standards. Happy playing with new products.

Finally got my box today! Tried the thermal mask right away and I love it, too. I felt like it had a little ultra fine grit to it when I applied it, and although the heating sensation is very slight, my face feels great. Really fun product. I’m really happy with the mascara, also.

That Sephora mascara is Amazing!! It works better than most of the high end brands. It is now my favorite mascara!

This is my box, too! That Nudestix color is absolutely perfect on you! Gorgeous, girl!

I’ve been using the Clinique gel as a serum under a heavier moisturizer and can tell a difference in the bounciness of my dry skin. Alone it isn’t enough, but as a pre-moisturizer serum it’s pretty fantastic!

I gave up on Play because I was getting too many pink lip colors.

I got a sample of the Ciinique jelly as a gift with purchase and I really like it,even though at 56, I still have combination skin so it’s great when the humidity is high.

The weight she listed (.088 oz) is indeed the weight listed on Sephora’s site for full size at $24, so I think she is accurate. I really wanted that Nudestix, so I have to admit I’m pretty jealous! My box is still good and I’m getting stuff I want to try like the cactus water, heat mask, and Too Faced primer…and I’m super happy I didn’t get the Clinique stuff because I know it would be too lightweight. I think Sephora Play is a great sub in general, and there is no way I expect full size luxury beauty products regularly in a $10 beauty box. That being said, I do think it would be nice to give *everyone* one full size product if they choose to include them. They could do that maybe twice a year as a special treat.

Play pass can be used online now too👍😊

This looks like a great box! I haven’t subbed to Sephora for awhile but boxes like this make me want to go back.

The Nudestik doesn’t look like a full size, the full size i received from Allure as welcome bonus gift last month is longer.

I’ve never seen a play box with a full size??? Did all of the boxes get a full size?

The lip crayon was the only thing I’m disappointed that I’m not getting, and I didn’t realize that it’s full size! Honestly, I can’t really can’t really complain because I’m getting other stuff I really wanted to try like the cactus water and thermal mask, plus the hangover primer. I don’t really think it’s practical to think that a $10 beauty box will send full sized products often (or ever), but it would be nice to give everyone a full size item if they’re going to do this in the future. Despite my envy, my box is set to arrive today and I can’t wait to open it after I get home from work tonight!

Wow! A full sized product from them is a miracle. I cancelled this one due to the small sizes and lack of actual make up items. I hope they are working towards changing that. I’ll keep watching!

The Nudestix doesn’t look like a full-sized, the full-sized which i received from Allure as bonus gift last month is longer.

I got the same box, and I don’t know why they would send us Sahara-skinned people jelly moisturizer..??

We are box twins again! I always appreciate that because I’m such a make-up novice and not sure what I’m looking at. Your reviews are always helpful for me.
