Sephora Play! September 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.


I don’t understand the bag choice this month it is like a legit sandwich bag but really thick. I don’t get it and I don’t like it its odd. Also two moisturizers in one bag is not cool in my opinion.

Clinique Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly

Woohoo a full travel size of a product I have been so curious to try. they whole clear gel see thru packaging thing is so up my alley I think it looks so pretty. It is a really light fast absorbing gel and I am all about that.

Ole Henriksen Truth Serum

I just tried a one time use sample of this and it obviously did nothing so its good that I can try this on a bit of a longer term. I like the truth line alot so I have high hopes for this.

Sephora Lashcraft Big Volume Mascara

Sephora Lashcraft

I will not be trying this the regular Lashcraft made my eyes super itchy so I am not taking a chance on this one at all. It was also very hard to remove so this is a mascara that I recommend staying far far away from.

Marc Jacobs Highliner in Earthquake

Full Size: 0.5 g

Full Size Cost: $25

Sample Size: 0.34 g

This is a warm chocolately brown shade. I love how these liners feel they are so creamy and stay put really well. I just don’t love a brown liner I have brown eyes so it does nothing for me.


This was a decent bag somethings I am pretty happy to try but not overly wowed.
