Play! Sephora Subscription Box

[aihutch]

December box shipped, and I love almost everything in it. I don't know what color the eyeliner will be (please not black again!) and I am guessing we just get a small sample of a few of the colors in the palette (though it would be awesome to get a full palette as a Christmas gift, lol!). No matter what though, I haven't tried any of the skincare products and I love the perfume already, so this is a win. 

I continue to love this box!

Unfortunately right now mine is saying black. I know they change things after we get the boxes, but I would not be surprised if that's the color. I agree, have a ton of black eyeliner, but I'm hoping this will work better than some of the others.

We already got a black eyeliner, the Marc Jacobs one a couple of months ago. So it would be nice for them not to repeat the color. Either way, it will be useful, and I am really interested in trying the formula, so that's the main thing. But I would love maybe a blue or gray, something I would still use but not crazy and over the top, lol!

Got my Sephora Play today. 

I am sad to say that I already own or have tried all but one of these products - Guess that's what I get for being a total Sephora addict...

1. Nude Advanced Renewal Serum foil samples:  Meh - Not a big fan of Nude and I've tried this before, but will give it another go.
2.  Dr. Brandt Pore Dermabrasion:  I am drowning in this stuff right now, but should eventually use it all up!  Love it!
3.  Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Eyeliner in Black:  I think I also have this, but it's a good eyeliner, so it will be used
4.  Fresh Seaberry Moisturizing Face Oil:  Not a huge fan of Fresh, but I've never tried this, so I'll give it a whirl in place of my Ole Henriksen Truth (Vitamin C) Serum
5.  Smashbox Full Exposure Duo:  I am pretty disappointed that this is the same duo that I redeemed 100 points for a few months back
6.  Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb sample vial:  This is one of my all time favorite scents!

Has anyone used their Play card (for 50 extra points) when buying a gift card in the store?  I need a gift card and thought I'd get that if it will work.   Thanks!

You can redeem your Play card when purchasing anything in store and I think you may even be able to redeem it without buying anything, however, remember that you can only redeem it at a free-standing store, not at SiJCP.

Oh I hope there are samples of Sunday Riley oils!  I want to try luna so badly /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hopefully they'll include some SR products in future boxes!

I have never been able to score a sample of Luna Oil, but I came across the Sephora Favorites Beauty sleep set about a month ago and it includes a deluxe sample size of Luna Oil plus 3 other products for $30!  The set keeps going in and out of stock, but it's a great way to try Luna Oil without breaking the bank.  I totally fell in love with Luna Oil and snapped up 2 more Beauty Sleep sets and I think I will purchase the full size product when I run out.

My box came tonight.  My eyeliner is black.  While the serum came in foils, there are 7 individual foils so it should last awhile. I do feel like these are recycled 100 point bonuses, but I never received the Smashbox palette and I really like the shades in the duo.  

Hopefully they'll include some SR products in future boxes!

I've always been able to go to the store and ask for them to make me samples.  If they carry the Luna oil, you should be able to get a sample in a plastic paint tub thing. I did it for GlamGlow and Hourglass primer, I don't see why they wouldn't for the oil /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Last thing: I'm torn.  I don't want to quit this sub because I'm off the wait list and have no idea when I'd get off again, but I'm not that impressed after 2 boxes.  Sure, there are things I'd like to try, but I don't think this is better than Birchbox simply because the Birchbox points system is better than Sephora's.

I love the Fresh oil! I got a sample awhile ago, and plan to repurchase soon.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> This subscription looks great. I hope to get off the wait list soon.

They did say they would launch nationwide in 2016, right? I just found a ways to use bing rewards to get sephora gift cards. It would be nice if I could get free boxes.

I'm in the Worcester MA area, I wonder if that's close enough to Boston for a referral to work?
