Play! By Sephora October 2017 Box #941 FULL SPOILERS!

Did anyone get the Laura Mercier mini powder that didn’t want it and would trade for anything from September or August’s Box?

I noticed all the people complaining about getting a too dark foundation seemed to have their profiles set to fair.
And I almost, ALMOST set mine to fair but at the last minute thought, ‘Fudge it, how often do I get a foundation that’s too light?’ And set mine to porcelain. I’m guessing mostly only these people got the 677 box. Just a thought though. Anyone get the 677 box with their profile set to ‘fair’ or ‘light’ skin?

Wow, even though my box sucked, I have to say that Sephora has great CS! I wrote an email complaining about the crappy quality of this box and recent boxes, how they are not curating them to profiles, the incredible overload of primers and Sephora products that keep coming…they credited my account for an extra 100 points.

When I wrote back and asked if I could return my box bc there isn’t one thing I’m going to use, they wrote back they are giving me a one-time refund, and I don’t have to return the box! I guess I will stick around one more month~

I got 677 and was delighted with everything. I think Sephora has really cranked up their game in the past couple of months. I’m finally really enjoying this sub after being underwhelmed (and jaded by too many beauty items). I love getting a foundation sample. I’m not sure the shade will work, but it should at least give me an idea how it applies. I wish more beauty subs gave foundation samples!

On my play play profile it said I was getting box #677. I ended up getting #941! Wth Sephora! This is the last one for me for a while. I’m canceling and actually going to go ack to allure I think. They have actually seem like they have been having some great boxes again lately. Better than Sephora anyways.

I didn’t get any of the skincare stuff which is actually what I really focus on… I never do a “full face” or “beat it to the gods” etc… just highlight and eyes. 🙁
Also really wish I got the bye bye undereye.
BUT absolutely THRILLED that I got the cover fx illuminating drops. 🙂

I got box 925 and I love it! I plan on using the UD priming spray at night after washing and before serum, much like a K-Beauty essence. It’s got great ingredients in it! Sunday Riley serum oh yesssss! Both the MFO foundation and IT concealer match (I was hoping to try it in last month’s Ipsy but Sephora sent it my way 😀). I have the original Bye Bye Under Eye and it is a bit heavy but with a light hand I can spot treat and skip foundation/cc cream/bb cream and just use that so I’m excited to try the Illuminating concealer. The Sephora micellar water is a welcome little bottle. I have a large bottle of another brand but I adore micellar water so I’m good with it. That Gucci perfume! OMG! 👍👌💚
I think I might have to splurge and buy the full size. It’s rare that I get a perfume sample I like so much. Good job for me this month Sephora 🙌☺

I call this….”Yet another Box 941 Haiku.”

Primer, again? What!?
Makeup remover, oh snap!
I wanted this, bad.

ZM Cindi, on fire with the rhymes

Amazing Grace Haiku #2 (just because, like, it’s so bloody awful):

Amazing Grace, you
Keep coming back–like a bad
Burrito fart, peeew!!!

I got box 677 and it’s amazing. Finally I get the good variation. The makeup was a 100% match to my skintone so I will definitely buy more when the sample runs out.

941 here. meh beyond belief. I am sick of illuminating primers – I have oily skin, I dont need to illuminate more.

bye bye sephora play. The last 5 months have been pretty dismal. I will come back when you get better.

I wish Sephora would do two types of sub for Play – one which is makeup focused and one which is skin/hair care focused. I cancelled my subscription late last year because I was getting too much makeup which I stopped using years ago. I do, however, adore really good skin care.

Anyone want to trade for my #925? 🙁

Getting 941 and I won’t use ANY of it. Anyone with 966 want to trade the whole box?

Man, I JUST got my “IT’S SHIPPED!” email. Due on Saturday which means the post office will sit on it til Monday >:(

bummed about getting 925

Well, I lucked out on this one! Box #677 includes the shade R230 – which happens to be the exact shade I already use. Now I have a mini to carry around! Also very happy about the Becca primer. Everything in this box will be usable.

I’m pretty mad about getting 941 considering I have fair skin checked in my profile. Of course all Sephora can do is give me points and refund my money. But I probably should have received 677 based off of skin tone which makes me even more upset!!

100% makeup? Other than that, it seems to be an “okay” box. I’m medium, so hopefully the color matches. Last time they sent foundation I got something like 5 tones darker than my skin tone, so I really hope they get it right this time.

How do you know which box you will get?

The worst

That is NOT what the Sephora site says Box #958 contains!

😂 I knew I would get the one thing I said I didn’t want the It cosmetics product. Like I said it will go to my daughter in law , she loves it. Box 677 is awesome and I would have loved everything. But on a good note the foundation is the perfect shade for me can’t wait to do a full with it the Becca primer and the bareMinerals mineral veil to top it all off

I really hope the shade for 925 is wrong. I am DEFINITELY NOT a Y335. I’m much lighter than that. And yes, my profile is up to date. I wonder if there would be a way to trade it in store for the right shade? I’m totally happy with any combination of items from this month but the foundation was truly what I was looking for the most. Here’s to hoping my shade will be lighter, lol 🙂
Happy unboxing to all!
