I’m done. cancelled my Sephora Play. VIB Rouge, received box J – I feel like i always get the worst box and the amount of shampoo and dry shampoo they have sent out in the past few months is ridiculous. No more Sephora Play.

I haven’t received my box yet, but my preview show’s that I’m getting The Nars lip, which I already have and it’s not a great color for me. Was hoping for the other Nars product the Laguna bronzer, I haven’t tried it yet. My box is supposed to be A. I guess I will see once it arrives.

I just got my box B or 707 today. I dont know how I feel about it. I’m not usually one to complain and I’m usually generally happy with my box but this one is weird. 2 dry shampoos. And Sephora brand mascara. I have a ton of mascaras already from sub boxes but if I’m going to sample mascara I want to try name brands. I do like the sunscreen. I have got that exact one before. I’ll try the bronzer.

I got the “see what you got” email last night, and it matched box G, and my box arrived today, it is indeed box G and my last 3 numbers were 966. I’m actually HAPPY with this, even though I will NOT use that dry shampoo and am really tired of getting it…well I take that back, I will use it to de-stink my athletic shoes and gardening shoes this summer.
But I’m most thrilled that for the first time, in like, EVER a subscription box color matched me with the correct foundation shade. It matches me to a tee! It says “chosen for your skin tone” in the email and it really matches. Guys, I can’t tell you how excited I am about that, especially since last month I got the super dark Estee Lauder one that I was so eager to try, but not in a shade 4 times darker than I am. This one is perfect. And thus Sephora removes itself from my “I gotta get rid of some of these subscriptions” chopping block for now!

I am 681 which is box A. I’m happy about it other than the Ouai wave spray. None of the Ouai products work for my hair for some reason. It has a very strong perfume smell also, and it’s too much for me. However, I love the Nars Lip pigment, the Dr Jart color corrector, the MM replica music festival perfume (smells wonderful and didn’t think I’d like it at all) and I actually love the Sephora volume mascara although I’d prefer high end products which is why I subscribe to Sephora Play. The Shiseido sun protection lotion will come in handy too as you can never have too many sun protection products. All in all. a win for me this month.

I just opened a “See what you got” email from Sephora that showed the contents for box A, but I actually received box B. Box A would have been a better fit, but there are a few items that I find useful – that mascara is one of my favorites, too.

I really love that mascara, it’s become my favorite! I first received it in a previous PLAY box and was unsure about it because I received a different “lash craft” variety mascara before that I did not like. But I like the Lash Craft Big Volume mascara so much! I even bought 3 play boxes that were available on the website during the holidays because they had that mascara and some other products I liked. It seems I will be getting box B and I’m happy it has that mascara again! I have so many minis of it, I have yet to buy the full size, but I have seen the full size in store and it is HUGE! I believe it contains 0.4oz of product which is a ton for a mascara! Almost think I prefer the mini because with that much product in the full size I think it would just dry out before you use it up. I see they offer a mini size of the length+volume version of this mascara for $5, I may have to try that next. (The one I didn’t like was the “have it all” lashcraft mascara). The two dry shampoos in box B seems silly but I have been using dry shampoo more often lately so I’m not mad about it.

I got Box B and it is a total dud IMo. 2 dry shampoos in 1 box??? I don’t even use dry shampoo! I have been so underwhelmed with Play recently.

Annnnnd, I’m out. TWO dry shampoos, a Sephora line mascara and a bronzer (I don’t care that it’s from NARS, I am super fair and it will look like dirt). I will use the perfume and the Supergoop. I may be wrong, but isn’t the Supergoop item a teeny tiny sample? I’ve been thinking Sephora needed to go and this just confirms it. None of the other variations looked much better than mine. 😑

Yeah got box 2 it’s a dud! I don’t use mascara (have extensions), already have the bronzer and well you know the rest.

Fair skinned and this box does nothing for me!
This is the worst box in a long time 🙁

I think its time for me to give up Sephora Play – My box is Box J and its absolutely worthless to me – tired of getting shampoo and dry shampoo as well as repeats.

I am not happy with my box either. I got box B MINUS NARS Bronzing Powder in Laguna. It was not even in the box. So Two Dry shampoos which one is a repeat, and 1 missing item. Even though it is only 10 dollars, I can overlook some of my disappointment on some samples, but to totally be missing an item makes me think that it might not be worth it going forward.

Why in the world would they curate a box with TWO dry shampoos?!! Seriously?! They could have at least put another skincare product in there, or something. I hardly ever complain about my box, but this one really stinks! BOO!!!!!! 🙁

I agree! I rarely complain about this box but I didn’t need two dry shampoos. To make it worse it seems like the triple sec is nearly empty.

Right?! I sprayed it once and it was empty!!! Box B totally sucked! I actually think it is the worst box I ever received. >:/

And the Nars in mine was so very tiny and too dark. This is the second time I got the Lashcraft and I don’t use dry shampoo. Not liking it one bit.

does anyone know what’s inside box 577, because i assume this is my box no… also my box still is as not yet shipped- is that normal? i know that i should receive the box next week or so, but the ups website says “When the shipment arrives at our facility the delivery date will be updated.” which means the box is still not at their facility (and yet i’ve received a confirmation that my box was shipped on monday…?). please tell me what’s going on if you know something.

Box 681 is Box A.
I’m VERY pleased with what I’m getting. I sat out the last couple of months because boxes were suddenly not at all curated to my profile- and this box looks really great, to me personally. I wonder if there’s a correlation?

Thanks so much for sharing! Overall, I’m pretty happy with that box. The foundation & sunscreen will be gifted, but I love getting mascaras in boxes, and I’ve tried the IT cleanser before, and absolutely fell in love with it! The pads serve as nice toner pads, so I’m happy to get them even though they never really bring any “radiance” to my skin (lol). I love trying new perfumes, and I’ve never tried that Versace fragrance before.

Hi Luna! I’m lazy to look for our previous conversation but we were talking about using the play pass online multiple times. I tried to use it that way (24hrs apart, jic) and it won’t let me. It turns red and gives verbatim about me previously using the code. Which kinda sucks. I typically place my orders in small batches ($25+ to get my freebies multiple times) and had to use this months March Play! code to get my addtl points in my second order. But, I suppose it’s better to use them or lose them as I’ve been forgoing them in the past because, for me, purchasing $20+ every month online for 50pts isn’t justifiable or realistic. I realistically probably haul there 4-5x a year. Anyway, hope that helps and you get to see this message! Take care!

ugh – i really want to try NARS american woman!! need a sample
