Sephora Play! March 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.


Another month another Sephora Play!

Ouai Wave Spray

Full Size: 148 ml

Full Size Cost: $26

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $5.27

They have set this before and i don’t use or need products like this. My hair doesn’t do the beachy waive thing really.

Sephora Lashcraft Big Volume Mascara

Full Size: 12.5 g

Full Size Cost: $14

Sample Size: 5 g

Value: $5.60

I don’t like the Lashcraft mascara I don’t think it does anything for me and I can’t remember but it either flaked on me or made my eyes itchy so this is another no for me.

Replica Music Festival Perfume

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $126

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $1.51

This has patchouli, cannabis, and leather notes. It is supposed to be reminiscent of Woodstock and music festivals. This legit smells like East Meets West and there are way cheaper ways to smell like this any local hippie store should have perfumes that smell like this for way less. I hate this scent by the way I don’t like those very earth scents and I HATE patchouli.

Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $52

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $5.20

I have wanted to try stuff from the Cicapair line for so long but it it is so expensive. I am excited to try this out because it didn’t break me out in a patch test which is rare for a sunscreen and I really want to find a sunscreen I can use this year. This is cool because it starts green and then turns like a nice neutralizing beige. I don’t know that this will work once I get tan but this should be good for spring at least.

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $40

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $2.80

I have never used or needed a spf 50 sunscreen and they really could have sent a bigger sample this is tiny.

Nars Powermatte Pigment in American Woman

Full Size: 5.5 ml

Full Size Cost: $26

Sample Size: 2 ml

Value: $9.45

I really like the formula of these I like that thin mousse velvet matte lip and I love that these are all named after famous old rock songs. I have Starwoman and now American Woman that is a nice nude rose color.


Once again only keeping half the box even though I like the products I am keeping It is still a bummer when I don’t like half the box.
