Sephora Play! May 2018 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.


Wow this was a really boring crappy month like all older type products nothing that fun or exciting.

And a few items didn’t have the sizes listed on them.

Bare Minerals Original Mineral Veil

Full Size: 8.5 g

Full Size Cost: $23

Sample Size: 0.75 g

Value: $2.71

More loose powder this is supposed to be translucent but it is lightly tinted.  I have so much loose powder and I never use it.

Sephora Mud Mask Purifying & Mattifying

Full Size: 2.03 oz

Full Size Cost: $20

Sample Size: 0.33 oz

Value: $3.25

I don’t love this mask it is really chunky, and doesn’t do much for my skin. It is isn’t bad it just isn’t great. I just used up my last sample and then this came in my box. This is only good for one to two uses so I am giving it one last shot and then I won’t use any more samples that come my way.

Atelier Cologne Clementine California

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $135

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $2.03

I love this perfume it is one of my favorites. I love citrus scents and this is a very grown up citrus scent.

Benefit The Pore Professional

Full Size: 22 ml

Full Size Cost: $31

Sample Size: 3 ml

Value: $4.23

Is there anyone left that hasn’t tried this primer? I have grown out of this primer it balls up and doesn’t fill my pores as well as other newer primers do.

Buxom Lash Mascara

Full Size: 10 ml

Full Size Cost: $20

Sample Size: 6 ml

Value: $12

What a unimpressive mascara name I like it like yes this is mascara that is all lol.  Do I need more mascara no I have enough for like 5 years.

Alterna Caviar CC Cream 10 in 1 Complete Correction Leave-In Hair Perfector
