Play! by Sephora has switched to recycled bags (they previous sent cloth bags) and I love them. I usually ended up tossing the drawstring cloth ones, but I will save these resealable ones.
The November 2018 Play! by Sephora theme is “Merry & Bright” and included the following items:
~Makeup Forever Ultra HD Microfinishing Loose Powder (1g / 0.035oz) ($5): This finishing powder blurs your imperfections – like an instagram filter. It is used as the last step in your makeup application process, but I have used it alone (just to quickly get some coverage) and I thought it was fabulous.
~Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream (5mL) ($4.80): Ceramidin is a moisturizing cream supercharged with 5-cera complex that helps visibly strengthens skin and shield from water and moisture loss. Perfect for winter, it helps with rough flaky skin. It is not something I need to use nightly, but I can see the benefits of using two to three times a week at bedtime.
~Moroccan Oil Protect & Prevent Spray (20mL) ($5.20): Ohh, I love getting this brand in boxes! This spray helps keep haircolor from fading or becoming brassy by protecting it from daily environmental factors that weaken the hair. I am all for anything that helps my color last longer, so I am happily incorporating this into my routine. I think it will be especially helpful in the summer as it contains sunscreen to fight UV rays.
~Sephora Cream Lip Stain ($2): I love the nude color, but I am not a matte lip fan. Not on me anyway. I will toss a coat of gloss over this and make it work for me.
~Clinique Pep-Start Eye Cream (3mL) ($5.30): Clinique does not pop up in a ton of subscription boxes, but I always love receiving it. This is a lightweight eye cream that de-puffs skin (always happy to get something to help with my puffy eyes). I cannot say for sure if my undereye area looks brighter, but maybe?
~Tory Burch Just Like Heaven (~$1):Just Like Heaven has notes of Hyacinth, Heliotrope and Tonka Bean Absolute. It is billed as a floral-citrus mix, but I think it leans a little more floral. Still a great scent, but not an all-time favorite.
The November 2018 Play! by Sephora had a value of $23.30. Thart’s not overly impressive value-wise, but I did enjoy the box.
What did you think of the November 2018 Play! by Sephora? One thing to keep in mind is that Play! sends out a variety of boxes each month, so you may end up receiving a different box than your best friend who is also a subscriber. If you are interested in subscribing (and you probably should be because their boxes are great), you can check them out here.
