Curious if the people that are unhappy regularly update their profile? I update mine every 2/3 months and haven’t been disappointed yet. Some boxes I’m not as excited about as others but none have made me want to cancel yet.

I’m one of those people that even when I get a disappointing month I don’t cancel because it’s literally $10 lol I actually think Sephora Play is pretty good overall! But I also regularly update my preferences on the quiz and whatnot, so that might be in. Wasn’t a huge fan last month but wasn’t totally disappointed either!

I’ve literally never cancelled any box. I’ve got 4 subs, and I’ve never cancelled a single box.

I was over everyone complaining about Play SEVERAL months ago. Don’t like it? Cancel. Move on. I get it. You’re over it. Well, I’m over everyone whining.
I’m just looking for my box (917)!
Not sure which of these samples I’d like to have, but I have a feeling I’ll be getting the amika…

Damn I was really hoping for the music festival scent instead. Oh well, it’s decent enough for a repeat full box. I love lala retro a lot at least and the glam glow.

Thank you so much for this info! That’s my box too, and I’m excited about all the products!

My box last month was not exciting at all. Let’s hope box 875 is a winner🤞

Ah bummer! I wanted the NARS Lipstick and the Mint lip balm.
Kenley
Thanks for the info! Bummed I’m not getting the Laura Mercier Eyeshadow stick

I’m just disappointed in them in general. I started getting the box because Chemo was changing my skin and I needed to start using new products. But I put right in the comments, I do not have any hair so please do not send me hair products. Every month I get at least one, if not more, hair products. And to add insult to injury in the brochure it’ll say that the hair product was specifically chosen for me due to my hair problem. Not sure how I’m suppose to use hair products on a bald head.

Honestly for me sephora play has always the same products. I feel that they could curate their boxes better and I hate the little plastic bag. When they release the old/extra inventory play boxes to buy on the website you can really tell/see all the repeats through out the year.
I switched to ipsy and so far I’m happier since you get makeup and nail stuff too.

This will be my first box. Does anyone know when during the month they typically ship?
Reply
CB
They typically ship boxes the third week of the month. I’d usually get Play’s shipping notifications around the 20th of each month.

These are 100% old points/choice items 😕
The fact that they STILL can’t get rid of all of those Glamglow guys 🤭🤷♀️

February’s box left a lot to be desired. I have dry, sensitive skin and gave everything away since I don’t have acne or oily skin. I hope this does not become a regular occurrence.

Woof. I’m pretty sure I’ve gotten all of these before. In fact, I think I have TWO of those Laura Mercier Cavier stick eyeshadows. I’ve been on the fence about keeping Sephora plus Ipsy GB & GBP…these repeats might be the straw that breaks this camel’s back.

I had never gotten a Laura Mercier eyeshadow stick. I got skipped every damn time. As soon as I cancelled (why bother staying without the 50 bonus points) and set of five shows up at TJ Max for $10. That’s $170 I could have saved.

Wow really? How long ago did you see the set of Laura mercier’s shadow sticks at TJ Maxx?
Mimosa
Hi Kitty, I’ve seen people write ‘woof’ before, but I’ve not had the opportunity to ask, what does ‘woof’ mean (when used in this context) please?
Reply
Kitty
“Yuck. No thanks.”
Or at least that’s how I meant it. LOL.
Laurel
I’m getting really tired of all these repeat items. I feel like all of the items they put in the play boxes are old point perks or codes that didn’t sell out. I want to try new and upcoming items and every single item in the boxes is something that’s been out for forever.

Hoping for the glam glow.

Feel like I may have received that shadow stick before and gave it away, but I actually found myself wishing I hadn’t recently. Wouldn’t mind the repeat in this case, but I’m sure I won’t get it, because that’s how the subscription box game seems to work. fingers crossed!

I hope I get the Laura Mercier and the Glamglow!

You get at least one of the three, but there are usually boxes that contain two or all three of these items.
