Play! by Sephora Review – March 2018 – Box #884

I received box 677, very disappointed in 2 Sephora brand items. Did like the Briogeo spray, only problem is the bottle was only half full of product. This was my first box, may be my last.

My box was 677 and I cancelled after this month too. I was okay with the items in my bag, they were just soooooooo teeny tiny. Teeny tiny lip stuff, teeny tiny eyeliner, and the Dr. Jarts sample was so small I doubt there’s enough product to know if I like it or not.

I’ve been cutting back on some of my subs and Sephora Play was an easy cut. I also have Macy’s and IPSY and I just think they are way better.

I was really impressed with the powder foundation, best I ever tried! I might even buy the full size.

How do you ladies know what box you’re getting and what each box has in it? Thanks in advance.

Apologies if this seems dumb.

I got #364 and overall not a bad box, the February box was slightly better but this one did give a nice variety of products. I get the theme they were going for this month since March/April are the festival months and I did like the bag because tie dye goes with that theme, I just wish they kept the writing off of it. Only one makeup product in this box but I guess that goes with the theme since at festivals you don’t wear much makeup. The only makeup item was the Stila eyeliner. I do love that eyeliner and will definitely use it, it’s probably not the most creative or new thing to put in the box but it’s better getting something trustworthy than something I’ll never use. I only wear black eyeliner and on some occasion purple so I’m glad it’s in their classic black shade. The Supergoop! product actually seems like a cool product and I am excited to try it out. It goes with the festival theme due to the spf in the product and I always appreciate spf in products. The Bobbi Brown product was kind of disappointing, not because of the actual product but the size of it. It’s minuscule! You get pretty much 1 use out of it and it’s hard to know if you like it out of one use. I don’t really understand why this is so small when all the other products are decently sized samples. In comparison, the Korres product is a decently sized product that I’ll be able to get some use out of since with cleansers you use more product. It has good reviews and I have not received a sample of this before. I’m hoping this can help my dry skin from the winter weather. The IGK product looks interesting, and is decently sized but I’m not really sure about putting a balm into my hair. I may just try a little bit of a time and see how it goes. I like IGK and have been interested in their products. Lastly, the Amika sample is pretty big for a foil sample and I’m actually more excited to try this over the IGK. So the Stila, Korres, and Supergoop are wins for me, the IGK is a nice sample but not sure if it will work for me, the Bobbi Brown is just too small, and the Amika is a nice substitute for a perfume sample.

I jumped on the bandwagon after last month’s Box by resubscribing, and cancelled again when I saw what I was getting. I got products for oily skin I can’t use on my dry skin, products for curly hair I can’t use on my straight hair, products have gotten in past boxes, and a tiny face wash. I’ve used stuff from other boxes but this month was like throwing away $10.

Hello just wondering if anyone else had problems with the supergoop? I am not sure if i am doing something wrong or if it is damaged. I’ve shaken it really well and no matter how much I press the spray nothing comes out. When I opened the bottle up the product inside was the consistency of jello almost, I know it’s supposed to be goop but obviously I’m guessing it’s too thick to come out the sprayer. Just wondering if anyone had any tips or a similar problem? Not sure if i can add water or something to it or if that will ruin it

I couldn’t believe it but this was the first month ever that I liked and will use every single thing that I got. I threw the bag away.

The Briogeo is one of my favorite new products. I splurged on the full size last month and I loooove the shine it gives my hair. And the smell!!!

Has anyone who received the supergoop had trouble with it? I am unsure if im doing something wrong or if it’s defective.. I shook it as it said to and kept pressing the sprayer and nothing came out… so I peeked inside and noticed that it actually was a gel/jello type consistency that was probably unable to come out the sprayer… I get that it’s “goop” but this was almost solidified … can i like tap this onto my face or use a brush or something ? Hate to waste it but am unsure if it can still be used … I’m kinda a newbie at makeup and just picture myself trying to set my face with this and just smearing everything. Thanks for any comments or help !!!!!!!

I got 843 and I’m kinda bummed. 3 products that I already have and won’t use up for a long time (2 of which I received in past Sephora play boxes!!! 🙄) a lipstick that I’m happy to try but doubt I’ll be able to pull off, a spf primer that looks alright, and one anti-frizz hair sheet. Just overall a kinda boring box??

Also… is there two Sephora brand products in every box? Based off my variation and the one in the review. Seems like the value is low this month as well.

Oh well, hopefully next month is better.

I’ve noticed that in these posts that it says that you can get that month as long as you order by the 15th of the month. I signed up non March 9th, 2018, and am not receiving anything at all this month. When I go to sephora.com through a browser, it shows nothing in my recent orders at all, even though I’ve ordered other items besides the subscription within the past few days and weeks. In the app though it shows all of my orders but not the subscription. I’m so confused and I really really wanted this month. Such a bummer!

I have really been loving micellar water lately. I’ve tried the BioDerma, Garnier and one other brand I can’t remember the name. Thinking this would be the same as the others, I poured some on a cotton pad and started wiping away my eye makeup. OUCH! This stuff freakin burned! It has a chemical type sent also. It does take off face makeup just fine but I’d warn about using it on eyes, even though it says you can on the bottle.

I just got mine on Monday, and while I liked most of my variation, the bag is so offensive. The trend of saying “spirit animal” is so degrading to those who have it as an actual part of their belief system. I was pretty appalled that Sephora used the phrase like they did just to exploit the festiv trend. No better than people wearing war bonnets to Coachella etc. I’m disappointed that such a large brand would market something like this. People make mistakes all the time, but a company like this and no one along the way thought this was a bad idea? Eek.

I always look forward to receiving my Play! by Sephora Box. Last month for some reason I didn’t get my box but as soon as I wrote to CS, they issued a new box and it arrived very fast. The box I got this month seems to be lacking everything. I didn’t even get the sample perfume (which is one thing that I really like). I did get the stila black eyeliner and basically that is all. A tiny tube of Bobby Brown face shine, Korres face cleaner (ok I guess…would prefer perfume sample). There was also the face spray (still prefer perfume sample), then there is the hair balm (perfume please) that brings us to the Grand Finale….an itsy bitsy single use (oops another hair product) Amika hair mask (no perfume). I shall keep my sub because next month can’t be anything but better. Right 😕

My boxes have been terrible the last few months, so I finally cancelled. If they come out with another luxe box or start including samples of new releases, I’m all in.

This was my bag this month, and to be honest I was a little disappointed. It’s just kind of boring. The powder foundation is OK, and it does match my skin tone. But my hair has plenty of volume already so the Briogeo product is lost on me. The mascara is a been-there-done-that product and so is the micellar water; I’m fairly certain they sent it in a recent box. I’ll use everything except the hair product, I guess. At least it’s useful?
