Sephora Play

QVCkitty1 — Mon, 18 Jul 2016 14:06:03 GMT

I just received my first Sephora beauty box and I'm very pleased. I got 6 products which included, First Aid facial cleanser,Ouai wave spray, Benefit facial bronzer, Smashbox primer, a blotter plus cleanser from beauty blender and a spray sample of Citrine from Nest. The products are small, but enough to give them a good try, and they came in a cute cotton drawstring bag. I hope future boxes are this good, we'll see

@QVCkitty1 I'm new to the Sephora box. The first one I got was May which was a dud. The June box was better and I haven't received my July box yet. Someone stated the July box you receive will be either A or B based on the profile you filled out.

I really didn't know what to expect. I used to subscribe to the Allure box ,but I was disappointed with it after a few months and canceled it. I guess that it's hit or miss with these boxes, but like I said we'll see.

I got the Allure Beauty Box and ipsy and cancelled them after two months. I'll give the Sephora Play box another 1 or 2 before I decide if I'll cancel or not.

@QVCkitty1 I was home earlier, and saw my July box had been delivered. I received the same items as you did. Starting this month there are supposed to be two boxes to make the subscription more "customized." I've been subscribing since Sept, and up until now each month's box included the same items for every person. My account says I received Box B this month, which according to what I read on other sites, it's the box "customized" for normal/dry skin type. Box A is supposed to be "customized" for combo/oily skin type. The only difference in items between the two boxes this month is supposed to be with the bronzer, cleanser, and primer. Box A is supposed to receive Too Faced Soleil Matte Bronzer, First Aid Beauty Cleanser With Red Clay, and Smashbox Pore Minimizing Primer. Box B includes what you and I both received. And both boxes received the blotterazzi (with the foil packet of blendercleanser), Ouai Wave Spray, and NEST Citrine EDP vial.

I've been wanting to try something from the brand, Ouai, so I'm happy to receive the wave spray.

I've been a subscriber since the sub started, and the only month I was disappointed was in May (I will say the earlier boxes were a bit better, but I've still been happy with the boxes I've received). I thought this month's cloth bag with the image of the pink popsicle was cute.

@QVCkitty1 Forgot to mention that Sephora is supposed to be sending an email to all "Play! by Sephora" subscribers sometime this month. It's supposed to include a questionaire that helps to make each subscriber's box more "customized."

This is my 3rd box & I have enjoyed it. What are you doing with the little bags?

I just got my July box yesterday which is the third box I have gotten. May's box was awful, they have gotten better. The spray for your hair (I forgot the name) is very substantial, I just might keep my subscription!

Really like the Ouai wave spray. Think I may buy the full size. Usually don't like so called salt sprays but it doesn't dry my hair out like others ones I've used.

What does that salt spray do anyway? I had no interest in it at all.

@winamac1 I think it gives your hair texture, gives it the beachy wave look.

Thanks.

I may try it, but overall, I was bummed with the contents in my first Play kit. I was obviously expecting more, LOL.

I got an email yesterday from Sephora with a video unboxing the July box. There was someone who worked for Sephora and a subscriber of the box. All the products were explained how to use. I found it very informative.

I just wanted to say that I tried the benefit face bronzer, and I like it. I'm so pale that products like this are usually a non- starter, however this one blends nicely and gives me just enough color. On the flip side I have already tossed the Nest fragrance, it is just too strong for me.

@QVCkitty1 I read some "spoiler" info for what items might be included in next month's (August) box. I'll put the info in the spoiler tag below, in case some people want to be surprised.

Each box might include:

Also, the remaining items in each box might include one item from each category:

@QVCkitty1 Have you received your August box? Mine supposedly shipped on the 15th (Monday), but tracking isn't showing anything at all. Usually I receive my box just a few days after I receive the "your box has shipped" email. I read online that others are still waiting on their boxes, too, while some received their boxes today or yesterday. Sephora Rep wasn't able to help me when I called to check, so I'll just wait a few more days.

I know which items I'll be receiving though, as I clicked on the Beauty Bag section under my Sephora acct. I was hoping to get the Algenist eye balm instead of the Caudalie eye balm, but it's showing I'll be getting the Caudalie. I know it's a nice Brand, but their products always irritate my super sensitive skin. I've used the Algenist eye product before, and really liked it. Was hoping to get it in my box. It appears I will also be getting the Taupe eye pencil, and not the Plum eye pencil, which is fine with me. I like Taupe.

I did receive my Aug. box. And the only thing that I've used so far is the Clean" blonde rose" and it's just the kind o scent that I like. The mascara looks good, as does the Lancôme eye cream. I too got the Caudalie balm, I have no experience with this line. I'm not sure about the pencil and shadow because I don't do much with my eyes, beyond mascara. I hope that you are pleased with your box, and the bag is really cute.

Do you mind telling me when you received your box? Today? Just curious. TIA I did see a pic of this month's bag, and I agree it's cute.
