I have box #583 if anyone wants to swap. I didn’t like anything in the box. I’m hoping for #609. Whatever one has the fresh vitamin nectar. I’ve been wanting to try it for awhile.

I’m also interested in swapping box 583 for 609! Let me know if you’re interested. 🙂

lol ok! So wait you’d like box #583 right?

I commented on the spoilers before and thought I got the worst box but they all seem to be about the same with just the variation of 2 products and the perfume sample. I have to say that this month was an utter disappointment compared to the last 2 months which were awesome with glamglow, living proof, bobbi brown, nars, origins, benefit, too faced, and clinique. Maybe they just couldn’t curate a box with new samples so just used leftovers or couldn’t think of a theme for April. I would think they could have done something for spring, easter,pastel, pink, or champagne shades. I already got that makeup remover from a gift with purchase bag from a month or 2 ago and only use it when I wear really heavy eye makeup because I don’t like oily makeup removers for everyday. I also feel like I already have that eyeliner sample or that it’s basically the same as the sephora eyeliner sample we got a few months back. I wouldn’t mind these as much but with wooden pencils it is hard to apply when they are so small and once you start using it, it becomes hard to control without putting too much pressure on it. I just gave the smashbox away due to it having silicon in it. The Peter Thomas Roth and the Kate Somerville products aren’t bad it’s just that I mainly look forward to the makeup products and the ones they gave were a let down. The perfume sample was also kind of boring because daisy has been out for forever now and I probably have a sample of it already somewhere. Though the perfume is not that important, I wish they would pick something different since they carry so many perfumes anyways. It seems like every few months there has to be a bad one so let’s hope May is going to be good. I’m hoping that they also branch out with the types of brands they include in their boxes and include Hourglass, Amazing Cosmetics, Besame, Buxom, Clarins, Huda, MILK, Stila, and other brands that they carry but rarely include in boxes.

Whats up with Sephora website? are they not going to give us spoilers to the next months theme any more?! 🙁

Sephora play isn’t really doing it for me anymore 🙁 it used to be the box I was most excited for and now its not.
I love getting skin care but I also love getting makeup and its kind of upsetting that this whole months box was skincare for me (except eyeliner).

I totally wish that I had gotten the truth serum. If anyone doesn’t want theirs but would be willing to swap, I would happily trade the Purity and the eyeliner.

Victoria

Getting 609 and actually glad for the eye makeup remover, as I just finished off a big bottle of the Sephora one and am halfway through my deluxe Lancome sample. Saves me from having to go restock just yet.

I really don’t need another black eyeliner, and while I love Secret Genius, I already have a rollerball of it…

Kay

I am getting #591 and I AM SO EXCITED!

I definitely feel like with the peel and vitamin c, it’s the best one. I’m really into skincare and also preventative aging measures. You can never start too early lol

As for the smash box primer, I don’t actually wear face makeup but my sister will be stoked to receive that.

The perfume is a win for me too because I am in love with sexy earthy smells like amber, ambergris, vetiver, etc!

It just needs to get shipped already! 😀

Yeah I feel like the skincare in this box is pretty good compared to some of the others. I’m hoping I can trade my box 583 for it, actually.

I’m getting #583, and I think it’s decent. I’m delighted to get the Cloud cream, I’ve been wanting to try that since it first came out! I’m also happy with the Purity. I’ve never tried the Miu Miu fragrance so it will be fun to test at least. I could care less about the makeup remover or the black eyeliner, but it’s a great box to have the other items. I’m always happy with the Play box.

Got box 583….. hated it cancelled my subscription. I really wanted to try the Fresh and Dr. Gross. I’ve actually wanted to cancel for a while but kept hoping my boxes would get better…. they didn’t.

Did anyone else notice that the Play card for April expires at the end of April? My March card expires at the end of April. We usually get until the end of the next month to redeem the points. That’s nonsense if they’re going to push up the date. Are everyone else’s cards reading the same way?

Reply ButtonReply

Sara

I noticed this too. My credit card was billed on 4/4 and didn’t get the box for 7 or so days. Used to be they shipped about the 20th of the month so I wonder about the timing too.

I only received my Sephora Play box today, 4/17. I agree this is way too late for a card that expires 4/30.

I’ve been getting the play boxes for about 6 months. I feel like there are good, better and best boxes and I’ve been only getting “good”. I’m actually kind of happy with some of the products this month and feel like I’ve gotten upgraded!

I did some math and why is it that my box #583 has like a 10ish dollar difference than all the other ones…that’s bull crap! 🙁

Tracking says​ my Sephora Play was delivered yesterday but I haven’t bothered to go get it from my mailbox. That’s how unappealing this box is.

The past couple months confirmed Sephora is really not for me. This month was awful top to bottom; so glad I cancelled at the first of the year.

Me! Does your have the fresh vitamin c in it?

Carla Lais

I would happily trade you the Purity and eyeliner for the serum if you were interested. Just let me know!

Dinah

I am happy that my 609 box has the Fresh mask in it and I do like the liner. Everything else is disappointing. None of the other boxes were appealing to me either. For all the brand and product choices Sephora has on hand to curate I am disappointed. I still don’t understand how they come up with the different variations since most of the time it doesn’t match profile answers. Hope the May box curators step up their game.

I cancelled. For awhile now, I’ve haven’t had the same excitement about my Play sub as I have with my Ipsy bag. I felt there’s no point in continuing if I’m not really enjoying it & the FOMO isn’t enough to keep me hooked after too many disappointing months. I really hope it improves for those remaining loyal though & I’ll keep an eye on it.

Decided to give Birchbox a try instead. The last few BB boxes I saw online looked more interesting & fun to me than Play. They’re also currently offering a full-size Smashbox Indecent Exposure mascara as a GWP, so from the start they’re already way ahead, IMO. I think I’m personally better off with companies like Ipsy & Birchbox, whose main function is being a subscription service with product sales being secondary. Sephora makes most of their revenue from cosmetics sales so the Play box probably isn’t as big a priority for them. Yeah, it’s only $10 but I don’t see any effort in the curation lately so – Bye for now, I guess!

It was my birthday this month and as a gift to myself I decided to try out all the beauty boxes I haven’t subscribed to previously. I even signed up for some pricier ones like TestTube, Wantable, Look Fantastic, and the less known Look Incredible. And what I am discovering time and again is that none of them live up to expectations, there are so few products in each box that I am even willing to use (this is especially true of skincare, but a lot of the makeup curation choices are puzzling at best as well). As far as gifts to myself this was a pretty massive waste of money, and I have so far unsubscribed from everything after only one box.

I discovered So Choix this month also, which I think is what someone like me needs because you can select the precise items (and shades) you receive. The downside is that these are not “deluxe” samples, so no pretty packaging, but if this is how I can get what I actually want, I’ll stick with it for a while.

Oh, with Ipsy I was only able to get on their waitlist, so I hope at least that one turns out to be not a total letdown like the others.

This isn’t Sephora’s best curating moment, but I thought the various boxes looked OK with some items I’d really want like the PTR and Kate Somerville skincare and Miu Miu or JHAG perfumes …. until I saw the spoiler for mine, which is 609. It’s definitely the worst of the bunch, IMO. I get two boxes, one with my specific profile and one without a profile (so I’ll just get random samples and can try more stuff) and for the first time in 6 months, I’m getting the same boxes for both subs. Talk about disappointed. I will definitely need to swap one of them for 591, 583 or 575.

I got the 583 box the one with mac jacobs daisy. Hit me up for swap ladies!!!!!
Lol just not tje best one for me either. I have that primer in full size and also got the deluxe sizes this past few months cant recall where but it was disappointing to see that again!!!
I wont use that liner either i get a full sized one every month from ipsy. Errr
And i think the only thing i will use from mine is the makeup remover and at 10
Heck i could have just bought the full sized one for that. Sooo a miss for me too. Errr!!!!!!

Does anyone know what’s in the #112 box yet? Seems like every box but that has been covered🙁

Kay

Hmm. I haven’t seen more than 4 boxes, ever, but I’ve only been getting Play for 6 months so… maybe?

Did you click the order number, go to the order detail page where it says order detail in giant letters and directly underneath it says the order number in giant bolded letters at the top,

Under that your address and number on the left, status and shipping info in the middle, and order date on the right.

then there is a grey line and a black separation line with the words item, price, qty, amount.

and under that it has an image of a sephora play box on the left and it says:

PLAY! by SEPHORA / April 2017 Play
ITEM 1926591
STATUS: In Progress

Followed by the price ($10), qty (1), and amount ($10) to the right.

Under another black separation line is the billing information on the left with address, phone number, email, card number and on the right it says merchandise subtotal, shipping & handling, tax, total.

Are you looking at the order number or the item number? If you click on the order number link, it’ll show the order details including the item number for your box, and the last three digits of that is what’s being referred to here. Hope that helps!

Cheri Nappi

Yeah I’m looking at the right number, mine is #112. Hope more spoilers come out soon!

These boxes get worse and worse…575 and it feels like something they should tuck into your bag at the counter to clear out store space. When I think about this as 120 bucks a year, it puts a lot into Perspective. This is a waste of money for a bunch of minuscule tubes and crap perfume samples.

I hate to agree, but I agree. It used to be such an awesome box, but the last few months have been horrible. The “free samples” you get are exactly that and not to mention OLD NEWS.. smashbox primer. sephora make up remover. urban decay eye primer. black eyeliner… give me a break.. I get that some people like the normalcy of having travel sized items or basics that will at least get used but Sephora has such an arsenal at their disposal that I am not impressed by these boxes in the least. I even emailed Sephora last month with my thoughts on the boxes and gave them a bunch of ideas on how they could improve them. Like a tier of boxes for beginners (or people who just want this basic kind of stuff) vs VIB vs Rouge/ MUA’s.. They need to capitalize on their client base who spends money (ie Rouge and MUA’s) by sending more advanced product to them. We aren’t going to run out and buy make up remover and black eyeliner bc of this box. SMH its bad marketing and sales on their part, which is what these boxes are ultimately supposed to do. They need to actually take feedback into consideration not just blow it off, especially considering it is in a testing phase.. I am spending my time and money with their company, providing them feedback that could increase their profits and they couldn’t give a sht less.. SMH

I feel like it was… last month? That a bunch of people said they were surveyed and asked if they would pay $15 for a deluxe play and then they upped it to asking if they’d pay $20 so… idk. They’re definitely thinking about it but honestly I think they should just make the regular boxes better too because doubling the price for good products just to dump lame ones on the regular customers is going to piss people off and make it seem like a sneaky money grab if they do it that way. Who knows how exactly they’re planning it but they’re planning something!

I got 575, but would have rather had 591, with the anti-aging stuff in it. Hello? Do you guys even pay attention to our profiles??? My 30 yr old neighbor got 591. I’m fricking 60! I don’t look it, but still…..

Wow, I was upset about getting 583 until I saw the rest of these garbage bags. Now I somehow feel lke I came out on top? Still mad I paid $10 for 5 free samples I don’t​ want. I feel bamboozled.

I am thoroughly done with Sephora Play. It does feel like free samples and I have already received two out of the five that I am receiving again this month. They must have a whole warehouse just for these Smashbox primer samples!

I’m pretty disappointed in Sephora for sending out the SB primer. I just can’t seem to give them a “pass” like I’ve given the other boxes that have sent them out. They just have access to so many other alternatives 🙄
