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 and 50 extra points if you purchase something in store and now online too.
This was a really uninspired month from Sephora Play! as you will see I am unimpressed and not at all excited. How many times are you going to send Bite lipsticks in the same fucking shade. It is so boring and Bite has so many interesting shades not the same brown or pink nudes over and over again.
Carolina Herrera Good Girl Perfume
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $94
Sample Size: 1.5 ml
Value: $2.82
This is a floral perfume not my taste. I don’t mind the perfume samples though I like them for travel so when they are scents I like I actually appreciate them.
Coola Mineral Sun Silk Creme Sunscreen
Full Size: 44 ml
Full Size Cost: $42
Sample Size: 7 ml
Value: $6.68
Always like a sunscreen sample in my quest to find some that I am not allergic to and don’t cost an arm and a leg (this does). I got at least one but I think two sunscreens last month though so that is kinda like wow Sephora did you put any thought into these boxes?
Lancome Cils Booster XL Mascara Base
Full Size: 4 ml
Full Size Cost: $13.00
Sample Size: 2.07 ml
Value: $6.73
I linked to the mini size because it is a far better value then the full size the mini is 4 ml for $13 and the full size is 5.6 ml for $26 so you could but to minis for the same price as the full size and end up with more product so always check the prices and sizes of the minis sometimes they really are the better deal. I think I already have 2 of these in my stash either from here or Macy’s and I just never use lash primer so this is not joining my horde. I don’t always love Lancome mascaras either.
Sol de Janieiro Coco Cabana Cream
Full Size: 240 ml
Full Size Cost: $45
Sample Size: 25 ml
Value: $4.69
I love this lotion so much I got the travel size one in a Boxycharm and so good. This has a delicious coconut cream scent that smells so yummy and good. The lotion itself is moisturizing but a bit sticky I like it so so much but it is just too expensive to ever buy.
Full Size: 8.5 oz
Full Size Cost: $35.00
Sample Size: 1 oz
Value: $4.12
I wish this came a day sooner because this was exactly what my hair needed after getting back from vacation. Alas it will have to wait now. this is like a shampoo alternative for when your hair feels really dirty and laden with product.
Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Chai
Full Size: 4.35 g
Full Size Cost: $26
Sample Size: 1.5 g
Value: $8.97
I have Chai in a matte formula and now I have it in their cream formula too. Joy. I don’t love Bite beauty lipsticks they have a weird very raw ingredient scent and they really drag across my lips not my favorite. The bullets also wiggle in the tube and are not stable and break off pretty easy this arrived broken but I was able to fit it back into the tube.
I wasn’t really happy with this box there is no excitement with this box anymore its like Sephora just doesn’t care and is chucking what ever random shit in these boxes. The same tired products over and over.
