Kay – which spray did you want? I got the Hourglass mascara and the Amika wave spray, and won’t use either one, but I do use the Benefit Gimme Brow. Maybe we can swap?

I know this is a pretty late reply so I hope you’ll see this. This is the box I got. My profile is:
Dry Skin
Light Skin Tone
Skin Care Concerns – Aging, Dark Circles, Dullness, Pores, Sun Damage & Uneven tone
Hair Color Brunette
Wavy Hair
Hair Concerns – Frizz, Heat Protection, Shine, Straightening
Brown Eyes
To be honest I feel like they don’t even pay attention to our profiles and just randomly grab boxes. Any way hope this helps!

Very unhappy what I got. Was hoping for exfoliating cleanser hourglass mascara fresh balm or the spray… didn’t get any. Second time I’ve gotten the benefit thing which I just end up tossing. 😑

I just checked my Play account and I’ve got the items for box #022:
1. Gimme Brow
2. Lancome mascara
3. FAB matte primer (the only thing I actually wanted to try so I’m happy about this)
4. Belif moisturizer (I love their Aqua Bomb,but the Moisturizing Bomb is too heavy for me)
5. Briogeo (I hate this stuff)
6. Viktor & Rolf fragrance.
For ME, Im meh on most of the contents but I got the only thing I actually wanted, so I’m fairly happy.

Does anyone know what the box #030 contains? Thanks!

Hey I have that same box number (30)! It is the exact contents as #022, the very top comment of this post. (The Briogeo is a mask though). You can check it on your Sephora account now and it shows you. I accidentally found it by trying to find this month’s new play pass code since I was currently placing an order online and already used last month’s play pass lol. I typed in a search bar “Sephora play pass code for September 2019” and once I clicked one of the first links that popped up in the search it somehow opened up my Sephora app and showed me all what I’m getting this month! Man I wish we were getting better things this month 😖 the only thing I’m okay with getting is the gimme brow and the aqua bomb, and the primer is okay too. I was hoping to get the Fresh strawberry scrub or the Nudestix ;( I have faith in Sephora Play though we’ve been getting a lot of repeats sometimes we’ll get great boxes! I’ll try to stick around one more month… lol

I re-signed up late so I’m not sure if I’m getting Sept or Oct’s box. Can anyone confirm if they have box 022 for Sept?

Yep. And I just posted the contents of #022 above. 🙂

You have to look at the order details on the website, not the app. Under order details it will list Play as the item in your order, and under that it will say item #

I got box 162 but I only have one thing off of this entire list which is the briogeo mask. I also got glamglow supertoner and Clinique moisture surge which I got both of last month. A nars lip pencil and bare minerals setting spray and Sunday Riley a+ high dose retinol serum.

Those are all items from last month. Are you sure you’re looking at September, not August?

Pretty sure this will be my last Sephora box, they’ve just been so underwhelming for awhile now. I’m thinking of switching my $10 to the Sisley Paris box so I can at least try some new stuff!

#162 sounds like my perfect box but I am getting #014. What is your profile? I guess I need to change mine.

Box twins here. I have 162 as well. A bit disappointed with this box. Was really looking forward to getting FRESH as skincare products. Also wanted the makeupforever mist instead of the powder…
Reply
Tiffany
I really wanted the Fresh strawberry exfoliating cleanser or any Fresh product. That’s the one thing I’m disappointed about. Since there are like 4 different Fresh products this month it would’ve been nice to get at least one. I should’ve known though, I never get the one item I want the most lol. I did really want the NudeStix and the First Aid Primer so I’m super excited to be getting those at least
Emily
Just an FYI to anyone who might be in the same boat- the last spoiler post said to sign up by 9/11 in order to receive the September box, but I signed up on 9/5 and was just told by customer service that my first box would be October.

This happened to me back when I signed up a few months ago. You’ll get the September box.

I hope so! The order isn’t showing up on my account which I thought was weird!

Can someone explain how do you use your play points online when you purchase something ?
Also can I use two months of points if it hasn’t expired for an item ? Or 50 points only towards purchase ?
And does it really make a difference in your total ?
Thanks so much for anyone’s help 🥰
Reply
Luna
I’m not sure about online (although by mkmhw’s comment it looks like it wouldn’t work), but in-store you can use two play passes since they have different bar codes. I’ve done it before and it works. You can also re-use the play passes until they expire (again in-store, I’m not sure about online though), but you can only use it once per day.

You can’t use two cards in one purchase, and you must make a $20 purchase to redeem the card. You still pay full price, but build your points. There is a code on the back of the card to put into as a promo code.

Ashley h
I just used 2 diefferent play passes in my order recently AND got 2 free samples 😀
Anna
Can you still add a promo code for a free gift with $25 purchase if you add the code from one of these points cards?
Hannah
There is a code on the play pass you type in online like any other Sephora code. Sadly, you cannot use more than one per transaction. And it definitely makes a difference. You’d have to spend $50 to get those points normally.
Reply
Ashley h
Yes you can, at least I was able to in my recent order. I used 2 different ones and was still able to get a points insider gift and 2 free samples

The rep on the phone told me #267 had a bite beauty lipstick 🤔
I wonder if it was supposed to be nudestix?

I can confirm that box 267 is receiving the bite lip crayon in glacé, I just received my box today!

My current box shows that I’m getting a Bite Beauty Lip Crayon. This is my first Play box and I think it’s super weird that the spoilers didn’t have it on the list – does this happen often?
Reply
May
I just opened current box on the app, I have box 267 also, it has all the products you mentioned, but in place of Bite it’s Gimme Brow. I just received one a few months back. Was hoping for Nudestix.
Reply
Wendy
This was only my 3rd PLAY box so I’m pretty disappointed. It’s the exact same bite beauty lipstick I received in my 1st box. A repeat this early on makes me think this might not be a very well organized subscription program.

Aidan
I’m box 267 too. Did they give any other clues to what was in the box?
Reply
Mee
I just received box 267. It contains:
1. Bite Beauty Matte Creme Lip Crayon in Glace
2. Hourglass Caution Extreme Lash Mascara in Black
3. First Aid Beauty Hello FAB Pores Be Gone Matte Primer
4. Fresh Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash
5. Amika Brushwick Beach No-Salt Wave Spray
6. YSL Libre EdP
I’m only excited about the Fresh face wash. Everything else I’ll try to foist off onto coworkers since those products aren’t even worth posting on the trade page at this point.
xoxo
Yeah, I’m confused now. It looks like bite beauty is not part of this month’s box!
Reply
Christina
I think these look great! I would like to get one of the mascaras (I know, but I will use them) the Nudestick, the strawberry cleanser, the Youth to the People, and the Amika. I’ll try any of the fragrances as I’ve never tried any of them before.

Lots of repeats. Glad I cancelled.

I canceled a few months ago as well because of repeats. I didn’t feel like I was getting any new products in general. Like I want to try products that are coming out, not products that have been around for a while either.

I’m glad I canceled too! Was so tried of getting the same little samples! No variety at all for over 2 years the same samples 🙁 kept the box because of the points but when ISPY came out what the premium deluxe this thing as to go LOL!

Can’t wait until these are for sale sometime in a few months?
Reply
sara
YES! I love picking these up when/if they go on sale! I used to get Play but stopped because the randomness of the items was too disappointing for me. I’d want one thing and get another (and usually it was the 3rd time of getting the same item I didn’t want lol). Buying them later is great if they become available because you can pick what you want and it’s often slightly discounted to boot!

I had play for like 4 years and then canceled a year ago due to the SAME FREAKING SAMPLES. They should really take a page from IPSY. I resubbed last month and loved my box, but i’m not feeling this month at all. I’d really like to get the FAB matte primer but as we ALL know, I wont end up getting it. What is the deal with the dang Bridgeo?? Enough already. I feel like it’s been a sample in every play box i’ve ever gotten and do not want. I’m canceling after I get my Sept box. I had high hopes that it’d be diff products, but I should’ve known!
