I have
mentioned many different times that I don’t have any particular interest in
Subscription Boxes. But, I do have irresistible interest in Sephora and
everything that Sephora offers! :-)
So, when I first heard of Sephora
Play, I could not decide if I wanted to opt in! Luckily, it did not lunch in
my city. When I was in India this April, I got an email stating that Play is
now available for Chicago :-) and I
could not fight the curiosity.
Play by
Sephora is a subscription offered by my beloved Sephora :-) It is $10 per month and comes with 5 deluxe products available in Sephora
and a bonus fragrance sample. Every month, the box is curated with a theme in
mind and they include a pamphlet describing as much as they can about the
products. This month was my very first Play box and to be 100% honest, I have
not been able to test out all the products. Today I am sharing a very brief
overview of the box.
This
month’s theme was “The Forces of Nature”. It included products that are made of
high performance ingredients that are supposedly “good” for your skin. I loved
the packaging of the box. It comes in a cardboard package in typical
black-and-white Sephora prints. I adore the cloth bag that the products came in
and I am pretty sure I would repurpose the bag. Let’s discuss the products that
I have tried first.
Bite
Beauty Amuse Bouche in Kimchi: I have been using Bite Product for a long time.
They are made of food-grade ingredients; that alone is enough to make me feel
excited about the product. I appreciate this product in this box. It is quite pigmented,
so this tiny deluxe size will last you a long time. “Kimchi” is a neon fuchsia
shade; very bright, very beautiful. However, I don’t think this color flatters
my skin tone. It ends up looking a bit ashy; also I much preferred their Rouge
Crème formula which is now unfortunately discontinued (Yes, I am still very sad
about that).
Tarte
Tarteist Lip Crayon in Latergram: Fancy name for a lipliner; don’t you think?
Anyway, I enjoy the tiny, compact packaging of the liner. It will be great for
travelling and it will be easier to use up. I have heard people complaining
that because the liner itself is so tiny, the product itself breaks off a lot.
That has not happened to me though! It has a nice consistency; a bit thick
which is not bad for a lipliner. I like the shade as well, a pretty everyday
shade!
Origins
Maskimizer + Drink Up & Clear Improvement Masks: I am actually super excited
about this maximizer, I am interested to see if this actually does something or
it’s just some unnecessary marketing gimmick. I may try to use this during the weekend.
The clear improvement charcoal mask is an absolute must have for me so it’s
always great to have a travel packet.
Korres
Wild Rose Sleeping Facial: I have used their Greek Yoghurt Advanced Nourishing
Sleeping Facial and I absolutely love using it when my skin is espaically
dehadrated and patchy. I am pretty hopeful that I would like this one too. My
yogurt one is almost empty and I am excited to try this one out.
Briogeo
Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask: I am not someone who tries a lot
of hair products! But somehow I end up buying them anyway. :-) This is a very
new brand in Sephora and although I am typically a tad bit nervous about trying
new product on my hair, I think I could use some hydration :-) I used it today
and it made me realize that it will give me only one or two usage for my long
hair. That was a bummer. Anyway, it was an average product, I mean it was same
as my regular conditioner, and I am not yet impressed enough to replace that. I
will keep trying though!
So, here
is the first Sephora Play that I received, I still have not deliberately
thought about the price and the value of the box. But I am contented enough to
try for a few more months! And then I will decide.
Have a
wonderful weekend, guys!
Love,
~Arrru
