Play! by Sephora Review – March 2017 – Box #477

I received this box version and was surprised how much I loved it. I have some scars on my cheeks so when I saw the theme this month was all highlighters, I was disappointed, but these were usable. The Glamglow though – am I the only one who can’t handle the scent? It is sooo sweet it gives me a headache, and I’m not usually sensitive to that kind of thing. The Living Proof was great, and even though the eyeshadow was a repeat it was one I happen to love. Good box this month.

I was really annoyed that I got the Make Up Forever eyeshadow. It’s an exact dupe from one I got a couple months ago! It’s not a bad shadow, but I don’t use it enough to justify wasting one of my samples getting it. That said, I liked the highlighters, especially the benefit one.

I liked the March box, but I didn’t get the eye shadow, illuminating drops or the Living Proof volumizer…I thought my box looked pretty bare this month!! On another note, I loved the Benefit highlighter, I’ll be buying the full size version of it soon. Overall, disappointed I didn’t get everything I should have.

I’m thinking of canceling this box, not only are the samples becoming more repetitive but I didn’t even receive my box this month. I was given tracking info after calling and complaining that my box had not shipped, then the tracking never updated so I called Sephora and they told me that my box was lost or misplaced & the box is sold out! So no box for me. I would have been less made about the repeats had I at least received it! They offered to send some of the samples but not all because they were sold out and I would only get one of the things I wanted & the perfume sample! I declined! I’m so disappointed with Sephora especially being a VIB customer I spend more with them at least once a month not including the Play box. This month just really left a bad taste in my mouth & I’m on the fence of canceling.

This was my first Sephora box and I did receive #477. I liked everything but I won’t use the L.P. spray because my hair is very thick! I do agree, it is Glow overload but I am still very pleased with my box

I just signed up for this box on 3/17. Does anyone know if I will receive a March box or if I have to wait for the April box?

I really want to try this box. Have had a handful of Sub Boxes & I like trying a box for a few months, and switching to something else.

Even though I buy from Sephora online, when sighing up for this box, they wouldn’t take my address so denied me the chance to get it.

I’ll have to keep trying from time to time.

I recently got the subscription on Feb 27 and was charged. Then I was charged again on the first week of March. I got the March box the 13. Is that normal? Am I going to get charged again on the last week of March?

I’ve really become a fan of all the Living Proof products, and I never would have tried them had it not been for my subs. I thought they were way to expensive, but I like them so much and everything really works! Worth the extra $ to me.

I like the GlamGlow Moisturizer-not sure I’d buy it, but it’s nice!

I got the Bobby Brown Shadow that is awesome, but this box would have made me happy too.

I didn’t care for my box at all, I actually thought seriously of canceling and trying something new, like lola beauty box. I guess I’m still undecided….

I got the same box as Liz. Highlight overload!! Too much for one box. I also already got the same MUF eye shadow in my Aug. play box 🙁 Do you think Sephora customer service would do anything about this? They could have sent a different shade at least. NOT happy. I don’t understand why they would send the same exact thing 7 months later.

I got box 469. I was not a fan at all. I have super oily skin, so most of the products were useless and the ones I tried made my skin like an oil slick.

Not to be a negative Nancy but this is not fair…I got box 469 and it’s the worst and lowest value…mine only has like a $32 which is $20 less than this one and $10 less than box 444…what the heck 🙁

This was the box I received and totally loved it.

I love it more now that Im seeing how much the items retail for.

I have box 451 posted on the swap site and would love to have this variation, even with the repeat eyeshadow.

That’s the one I got, and I was excited to try every single item.

I might actually buy the Algenist drops in full size when my sample size is done, I like it that much.

I didn’t get the MUFE shadow in the earlier box, so I really love the sample I got, very wearable for me.

Does anyone know of drops similar to these, but that are pigment drops that I can add to my moisturizer? Basically, I want to concoct my own tinted moisturizer. Thanks for any suggestions!

So jealous of those that received the Algenist drops!

I got this variant too and loved it! I already had the shadow from a previous box which sort of stinks. But Watts Up is my favorite and I’m hoarding samples so I don’t have to splurge to buy it. I never like getting perfumes but the Atelier packaging is always so pretty haha.

Not quite sure how to wear the Algenist Reveal Concentrated Lumizing Drops in Pearl I always get scared by super shimmery products on my oily skin. Any recs?

Will Sephora ever run out of MUFE samples in pink granite? Exasperated subscribers want to know. LOL.

Highly impressed with the size of the Benefit sample, as Liz said – this will last me quite a while!

Does someone know if I can use a wet brush with the make up forever shadow?

My box was #451 (or #455? I can’t remember now) and I’m pretty darn disappointed. I would have adored the Chloe perfume but instead got Atelier, which is okay but definitely not my favorite kind of scent. I’m mostly disappointed with the ghost oil–something my hair will NOT like, and the UD lipstick. The color is absolutely not wearable for me. I was even more disappointed when I found it was packed with glitter. The other products I can find some use for, and I am excited for the Becca highlighter, but otherwise this box was a miss.

I would really like for Sephora to start actually, you know, going by our profiles when deciding which box variations to send us. This time around, I got the overwhelming feeling they don’t even check.

I loved this box other than the fact that this was my second time receiving the same eyeshadow.

I got this box and love it! So many neat things! Only the perfume went into the “nieces” box, as I have an allergy to some citrus items (and really prefer not to break out in hives).

This was my daughter’s box this month and she was thrilled. She wears her hair flat to her head like so many teens so she gave me the Living Proof so I was thrilled too! 🙂
