Play! by Sephora ships via USPS. All Play! by Sephora, boxes should arrive between the third and fourth week of each month.
This month’s Play! by Sephora was a bit of a surprise because my box wasn’t posted to my account before it arrived.
There were a few box variations this month, but my October 2016 Play! by Sephora included the following items:
~Smashbox Always on Matte Liquid Lipstick (Drivers’s Seat) (No Size Listed) (~$6): Driver’s Seat is a warm pink color. It’s almost mauve in my opinion. It’s too deep for me, but I will pass it on to my SIL. It stayed put nicely, though.
~erborian Bamboo Creme Frappe (0.17oz) ($4.30): This moisturizer has a “whipped, frosty gel-cream texture.” It felt cool and refreshing when I put it on and absorbed into my skin very quickly.
~Christophe Robin Regenerating Mask with Rare Prickly Pear Seed Oil (50mL) ($14.20): This is a “deeply regenerating, creamy formula that restructures, strengthens, and protects all hair types, including damaged.” I have been getting (and using) a ton of hair masks lately, so I am going to need to put this one on hold for a while.
~The Estee Edit by Estee Lauder (0.1fl.oz) ($7.41): This doesn’t get the greatest reviews on Sephora, but I loved it. People complained it was too thick, but I didn’t feel that way at all. It reminded me a bit of Mac Lipglass (I loved that stuff) and gave made my lips so shiny and glossy. I wouldn’t pay full price for it, but I loved sampling it.
~Farmacy Skin Dew Mist (20mL) ($9.07): This is a hydrating essence mist & setting spray. It tones the skin, restores radiance, and freshens makeup. I’m happy I tested it without makeup on because the spray was so strong. I certainly wouldn’t describe it as a mist. It was refreshing, though, and I like the almost herbal scent.
~Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris (~$1): The more I sniff this, the more I like it. It has notes of Strawberry, Raspberry, Bergamot, Calone, Pear, Orange Flower, Jasmin Sambac, White Peony, Datura, Patchouli, White Musk, Ambrox, Cedarwood and Crystal Moss. I picked up a lot of the fruit notes with little hints of the deeper Bergamot and Patchouli.
All totaled I came up with a value of $41.98 for the October 2016 Play! by Sephora box. I enjoyed the variety of my box this month and will use everything in it!
