Sephora Play! February 2019 Subscription Box Review

Sephora Play!

Cost: $10.00 monthly + tax

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month our favorite money sucking store Sephora sends out a curated box of higher end samples to try out.  Every month you receive 5 samples and a perfume sample.  The boxes are customized with a few different variations being sent out each month.

There is a small survey that Sephora has you take that helps Sephora curate a box to your needs. There is also a card included in the box for a complimentary mini makeover (which are complimentary any way so I don’t really get that) and 50 extra points if you purchase something in store and now online too.


So I know this is late but better late then never. It just has been busy and just I haven’t had time. Plus my new way of cataloging everything that comes into my collection has made posting so much more work that I kinda drag my feet wanting to post sometimes.

Kat Von D Saint Perfume

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $65

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $1.95

Kat Von D Sinner Perfume

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $65

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $1.95

I have definitely had this exact sample from Sephora Play! before I am not hugely into the repeat samples that seem to be happening in subscription boxes of late. Any way I like Saint it is lighter and sweeter Sinner just isn’t my cup of tea it is too heavy of a scent.

Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks

Full Size: 6 pairs

Full Size Cost: $25

Sample Size: 1 pair

Value: $4.17

I am not sure how I feel about gold in skincare I have read alot of mixed things about whether or not it is good for your skin so I haven’t really been using any of my gold skincare. This is another thing I have gotten in a subscription box. Maybe I’ll be brave and try it.

Lancome Hydra Zen Anti-Stress Moisturizing Cream Gel

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $48

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $4.80

I have alot of feelings about this first it is so heavily fragranced that it is sickening. Second why would you need a moisturizer with salicylic acid that is anti stress that makes now sense to me. Also I tried this out because it has an ingredient that is in the rose family but isn’t a rose so I decided to give it a shot but nope made me itchy so can’t use this. Also this tiny sample is like one or two uses at most.

Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet

Full Size: 40 ml

Full Size Cost: $39

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $11.03

I don’t like this face moisturizer it is like a light nothing waste your time type of moisturizer. I like a light moisturizer but I still want it to feel like it is doing something.

Clinique Quickliner for Eyes Intense in 09 Intense Ebony

Full Size: 0.012 oz

Full Size Cost: $18

Sample Size: 0.005 oz

Value: $7.50

I am not swatching this because I don’t like the regular Quickliner and I don’t have a pressing need to try this eyeliner and I’d rather have some one else get good use out of it. The regular Quickliner fades on me so so fast that it isn’t even worth putting on.

Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Maple

Full Size: 4.35 g

Full Size Cost: $26

Sample Size: 1.41 g

Value: $8.43

I wished I liked these lipsticks more because they are so freaking comfortable and they have some gorgeous shades. I justt am not the hugest fan of a shiny lipstick that can move around so I rarely wear them. This is a beautiful brick red shade though and I love it so so much.


Not hapy with a box that only 3 things I will use and one is a perfume sample. I did get more then $10 of value with the products I am keeping but still it isn’t exciting to get a box of things you don’t want.
