They’ve posted another boxing video showcasing all products going into the boxes

Nicole Bourque

I’ve got box #743, so fingers crossed that it’s as good as last months was for me!!!!!!!!

Layla

I have this box too! I’m already excited lol

Lisa

Where’s spoiler #3??

JuJu

I’m not complaining about the price..it’s $10? But if you also subscribe to ipsy,etc.,it’s a lot of samples..I’m going on my 11th month..Iv never been “wowed” like Iv been w ipsy,Iv got a bunch of full sized products over the past 2 years Iv been with them..eh,it’s $10..maybe this will be my month:)

Sport but ipsy is garbage. They give you full sized $1 store products, send you unbearable colors, and then ban anyone who criticizes anything. Sephora isn’t perfect, but you get real products, not kids stuff.

solstice

This box looks like crap, so many repeats in here! And I have not even subbed for a year! The Sephora makeup remover, the Skin Laundry I just got a couple boxes back, the Cover FX…all repeats.

And what’s up with all the primer, ugh, I don’t even use primer. There’s no color in this box AT ALL.

Yeah I know it’s only 10 bucks a month. Yeah, I know everyone is different. But really, out of like the last 5 or so boxes I got , only last month’s was good. I have FOMO so I keep not canceling every month. But if this box is full of the above stuff, I am definitely canceling. I think the quality and variety has really gone down.

Too bad, I waited a long time to get on the list, but oh well!

Kaitlynn Marie

Yeah, not mad I cancelled. The only thing I’m remotely interested in I can get the bigger size for $12…This sub has drastically reduced in quality and I’m over it

SPanta

Re-subbed recently and have mostly been meh- tend to get the variation that’s least desirable to me. Yet, Looks like an overall decent month, although gotta say that bag is ugly AF (IMO)….yet, they typically are (again, IMO). I’d honestly just prefer the items w/ paper shreds (to prevent damage) in the box- toss it all into the recycling bin, but these ugly arse bags are just wasteful.

Tammy Haley

thank you…thank you for finally telling the truth about the bags

i’m a grown-ass woman, & while i appreciate the occasional touch of whimsy–these things are “everything’s a dollar” dollar store tacky, to me

Helen

what numbers are the boxes shown?

Melissa Isaacs

My number shows as 743 can’t wait to see what it is.

Jennifer summitt

Mine is 743 too! Praying it’s 2 or 3.

Iris

Where do you check for the box number? I’m a new subscriber to the play box and I’m so confused.

Bridgette

I don’t think Sephora has updated anyone’s numbers yet, mine still says pending so I’m sure they’ll update on here as soon as they find out 🙂

Jocelyn

Where am I able to see the box number I’m getting?

Jules

We don’t know yet. Hopefully we will know soon

Ash_Kay

I hope I get that Coverfx!

SPanta

SAME!!!! My daughter’s been eyeballing it for months

Susan

Just a heads up….. please check your Sephora accts. Last night I went in to see my last three digits and saw i wasn’t charged for October yet. It’s never been later than the 4th. After poking around I found my acct showing my old CC I deleted not the new one and when I went into it to edit it showed I needed to put in the security code for the card. So it never charged me. MUST be checked/fixed by the 7th or you may not get your bag

Bridgette

That’s odd…I can’t remember ever having to put in the security code for mine so I panicked and went on my account and there isn’t one but there also isn’t a place for one. So I added a new credit card on to my account and it never asked for that either. Are you sure you talked with Sephora and not someone scamming you? It may have been totally legit I just can’t find where I would have put that code in to save my life haha

Bee

This happened to me as well! For some reason the cvc of my card had been deleted. Luckily I got an email about them not being able to charge my card and was able to fix it on time! I called up customer care just to make sure and the rep told me that they have been having computer issues.

Reece

Anyone have #941? I have

Last month the last 3 numbers were #514 but showing contents of #498 in my Sephora account

Cady

I have 941 this month too. Brown hair, green eyes, oily skin, dry hair, and med skin tone on my profile. Last month I got #870, before that I got #130.

solstice

I do. Dry skin, aging concerns, medium complexion, brown eyes and brown hair.

I am SO ready to cancel. If it weren’t for my giant FOMO. This box–ugh. If next month’s isn’t any better, I am so cancelling. And I was so psyched about getting in on Play, it hasn’t even been a year.

icole Bourque

Box #743 & I just read some comments & Idk…thought Sephora was doing good, but after reading some comments I’m confused! I have medium light skin. Oily/acne prone & dark brown hair & eyes!? Still hoping for the best with them! LAST MNTHS BOX WAS AWESOME, LIKE THEY REALLY PAID ATTENTION TO MY PROFILE! EVERYTHING WAS GREAT & GREAT LOOKING ON ME FOR MY PROFILE! I have to AGREE with alot of ppl!! These are some killer brands & samples for this month, but also, besides last mnth, it didn’t seem like there was a method to their picking & was usually very unhappy bc I wud never seem to get the box that I wanted or felt was great for me! I think I’m gonna give em more time! Seems like the longer you stay with them & keep active & social, the boxes seem more right for me…hope i didn’t speak to soon!!

Jennifer summitt

Same here. Light/fair combo and acne prone skin, dark brown hair & eyes and box 743.

Which box looks best for combo and acne prone skin? Seems like the lighter shade with those skin issues are something we all have in common.

I have light, close to medium combination skin w/acne listed in profile, dark brown hair and eyes and have box #743.

Tamara Dungan

Has everyone else been charged for their October boxes? I keep looking for my box number but haven’t been charged yet even though it says they will charge 10/1-10/4.

Susan

Check your acct. I looked yesterday and couldn’t see my October transaction. For some reason my acct needed CC security code put in. It was fine thenlat few months. Some glitch I guess. MUST be done by the 7th otherwise you might not get our bag

Tamara Dungan

I called finally and they tried to say I had cancelled! I absolutely have not.. haven’t even logged in until I went to see my Box number. Then they tried to say it was a problem with my card…it’s a gift card and the same one I used last month. They said it was taken care of, but I still haven’t been charged. I was on the phone with them for 30 minutes!

Beccah

I was charged on the 2nd

fatima

yup was charged on 2nd oct

Lori

I REALLY want the box with the Becca primer & IT Cosmetics under eye concealer…. Please let me get that one 🤞🤞🤞this will be my first play box so I’m really hoping to start off great with this sub & I’m excited to get it! I just wish they would ship earlier than the 3rd week of the month lol… But it does give me something to look forward to receiving at the end of the month at least lol 😂

Courie Girl

The skin laundry came out in another box (beauty fix/derm store?) ad it became my favorite for sensitive skin. The dr.brant pore dermabrasion was in another recent box and it was wonderful and made my skin look glowing. Great looking product boxes this month!

I’ll be interested to see what the remaining 5 variations look like…

Courtney

I am excited about the featured Makeup Forever products since it’s one of my favorite brands. I wear the HD foundation so I don’t mind getting a bonus amount, it makes the value of the box well worth the value. Skin Laundry is also one of my favorite cleansers and I haven’t tried this particular version so I won’t mind getting this as a sample especially right before the winter months. I started using the Skin Laundry cleansers after getting a sample in a Play box months ago and now use their toner and exfoliating scrub. I also am excited about the Color FX products because I actually have had that in my basket to buy on my Sephora app. I was waiting to see what the spoilers were before I bought anything just in case, now I am glad I did. My only complaint if you would call it that is I would love at least one makeup product with some fun color. I have a ton of sample black eyeliners geeze! Why not a purple eyeliner for fall? Not really my color but it’s something different. Maybe a fun fall color nail polish or blush. I don’t think that’s to much of a reach. Masks, moisturizer and face wash is cool but even big girls like to play with fun makeup and really I think that’s why we all subscribe. I get everyone wants to push their products but I would like to try something new and different along the makeup side of things. Makeup Forever would of been a great line to give us some fun color, they have amazing stuff.

MissDirection

The October box looks pretty good, especially the 2nd and 3rd options. I think I’m getting the second box because the skin tone seems about right (I’m box # 743, with light, combination skin and blue eyes). Maybe that’s wishful thinking because the second box is my favorite of the 3. I don’t really want a primer, and I don’t want Cover FX…I’m not sure what I’d use it for. The dermabrasion cream looks cool, and I’d enjoy the Tarte mist.

Shana

The Tarte mist is awesome! I have a sample size from an employee that stashed a ton of stuff in my bag, and I love it!!

That box has a primer – by Urban Decay

Nicole Bourque

I’m also box #743, but I have medium light complexion, dark brown eyes & oily/acne prone skin! Hmmmm…they’re usually right on the money for my profile & products!?!?

julie

I want that box too, also 743, light skin, blue eyes. I’d love to get the mist. I’m addicted to toners and mists thanks to pearlesquebox.

Christina

I really want the first or second one shown (with the Dr. Brandt and UD primers, respectively) because I’ve tried almost all of the products in the boxes revealed so far.

Jules

All of these look awesome so far! I’m guessing that within the variations there might be different shades for the same box number. Because foundation isn’t always one size fits all. Good luck to everyone who had a bad experience last time.

Beth L

Wow this is the first time Sephora Play looks really really great to me. Maybe it’s because I’m into skin care more since I’m just a year or so away from being a DINOSAUR… RRRR. LOL

bethany

YASSS I LOVE SKIN CARE ALSO. I also am in love the gucci bloom perfume i hope my box has it.

Mikayla

The second one looks possible to be mine based on foundation but I can’t tell if it’s light enough. Would love that box minus the poredermabrasion, but only because I have sooo much of that. The rest of that box I’d love tho. The rest don’t look bad to me, but not as good.

Santa McKenna

I hate bare minerals mineral veil powder therefore I will be getting that box, I know it.

Jamee

Me too! I don’t particularly hate it but it’s not a go to definitely. I would much rather have box 1 or 2 especially the first cause I’ve been wanting to try the cover fx luminizing drops but I know I’m gonna end up with the 3 box. Lol

Brenda

Which one is box 925?

Jean

Still a bunch of crappy junk!! I’ve been getting all these things for years from Birchbox. Sephora says they are more exclusive & high-end, BUT they’re NOT!! Does ANYONE ever get the samples they want or the limited-editions?!? I sure DON’T… :/

Beccah

I get many high end items I love every month. None of the items spoiled so far are junk.

Cat

It’s just $10, cancel or look at it as being worth tying some items you might not and donate the rest when they build up to a women’s shelter or for toy drives for teen girls at Christmas.

Katie

Just cancel

Sara

Those all look great! Sad I cancelled, wonder if it’s too late to get Octobers box?

Frances W

Probably not. If you sign up before the 15th, chances are good you will receive October’s box. I signed up for September’s box on 9/13 and got it one week later.
