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.

Best Box EVER! lol I liked this one alot.

This is my girlfriend’s cat Stubby, he really really wanted to be in the picture. So much so that he promptly fell asleep once I told him he could. So Stubby meet Everyone, Everyone meet Stubby he makes a guest appearance in most of these pictures because he is far to cute to crop out.

Sephora Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $7.50

Sample Size: 25 ml

Value: $3.75

Aw teeny kitty nose. This is my favorite liquid eye makeup remover I wish they sold it in this size but they don’t it gets everything off easily and it doesn’t sting or feel really oily and residuey. I usually buy the 50 ml size which is why I am using that as the full size price.

Fresh Sugar Lip Caramel Hydrating Balm

Full Size: 6

Full Size Cost: $18

Sample Size: 2 g

Value: $6

This was really nice I have wanted to try this for awhile but was worried it would be too caramel but it is just perfect. Hydrating sweet and not overly sticky.

MoroccanOil Moroccan Oil Treatment

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $34

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $6.80

I like this hair oil it makes my hair really soft and smooth. This box has two of my favorite things to get from these Sephora boxes so it is a win for me.

Sephora Rouge Gel Lip Liner in 02 Nothin’ but Nude

Full Size: 0.5

Full Size Cost: $12

Sample Size: 0.25 g

Value: $6

This is a very soft lip liner. Where the swatch pic went I have no idea. But Stubby approves.

Too Faced Primed & Peachy Primer

Full Size: 40 ml

Full Size Cost: $34

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $4.25

I am excited to try this primer. Even though I have so many primers I need to try. The “cooling” effect on this feels really interesting.

Tarte Lights Camera Lashes

Full Size: 7 ml

Full Size Cost: $23

Sample Size: 3 ml

Value: $9.86

This is just a meh mascara its ok but not great. I feel like it is too light and natural of a look on the eyes to justify the price.

I really enjoyed this box because it is things I know I love and will use and then something I have wanted to try. This was probably the best box of the year for me.

This was a rather non cohesive set of products. With a few repeats from boxes I have had in the past.

Caudalie Vino Perfect Radiance Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $79

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $26.33

This is a really good sized sample I actually have received this sample form Sephora before so I am like 2/3 of the way to a full size lol. Caudalie is such a pricey brand. This isn’t the greatest serum I have every used though this would be more of like an under makeup serum. It is a bit tack but makes my skin feel firm not tight but firm.

Urban Decay All-Nighter Setting Spray

Full Size: 118 ml

Full Size Cost: $32

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $4.88

I will never need to buy a travel size of this setting spray lol I have received so many samples of this. Not that I am complaining this is a great setting spray that makes your makeup last and isn’t sticky or gross.

First Aid Beauty Coconut Water Cream

Full Size:  1.7 oz

Full Size Cost: $34

Sample Size:  0.34 oz

Value: $6.80

I just never like First Aid Beauty Products I find them all sticky and to not feel great and to not smell good. Like they all smell like they have gone off to me. I don’t really like them but I’ll still use this because it’s small and I don’t typically buy moisturizers.

Benefit Gimme Brow in Shade 3

Full Size:  3 g

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 1 g

Value: $8

I don’t feel like this warm brown is the right color for me and I have never used a brow gel before but I have gotten this sample so many times that I feel like the universe won’t be satisfied until I finally try it. Swatched Below.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Foundation Stick in Banana

Full Size: 9.1 g

Full Size Cost: $25

Sample Size: 2 g

Value: $5.49

This is a light yellow contour stick. I don’t totally know what you would do with a yellow contour stick I wish they had sent out Fawn or Shadow that would have been an actual contour color that would have been so much better. This is pretty stiff but also creamy so I think it would actually be really good for contouring if I had gotten a good color. Swatched Below.

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 like that we got both scents because I can try them both. I heard they layer really well too so I am super excited to bring these on my next trip and am saving them for that.

I am not so happy with this bag since it is alot of repeats and sorta random feeling to me. Like really feels like of we had alot of random extra samples let’s just ditch them into these boxes.
