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 December 2019 Play! by Sephora theme is “Award Worthy Beauty” and included the following items:
~SMASHBOX Super Fan Mascara in Black (~$10): Ahh, mascara. You know the story. I have lash extensions and just do not have a use for mascara. It gets great reviews on Sephora though and is supposed to give you a buildable lift, length, and volume that lasts for up to 12 hours.
~Wander Beauty Lip Retreat Oil in Skinny Dip (3mL) ($4.40): Skinny Dip is a nude high shine glossy lippie. It is ultra hydrating and I love the shine this gives me, however, this felt super empty. I had to squeeze and squeeze to get anything out. Did anyone else notice this?
~OUAI Body Creme (30g) ($5.38): I loved trying this and love how thick and rich it feels, but it isn’t something I would purchase on my own. I loved the scent, but for the price ($38 for 7.5oz) I feel like I can do better.
~dr. brandt Skincare needles no more NO MORE BAGGAGE eye de-puffing gel (3g) ($8.40): Love this! No more baggage de-puffs your under-eye area and tightens and smooths the skin under your eyes. It is tinted, so it also helps to cover dark circles under your eyes. Good stuff!
~Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Moisturizer (7mL) ($7): I have received this fresh Face Cream in other subscription boxes and I always love getting it. It is a lightweight gel-cream, but it provides intense hydration. You can see the results from this after just one use!
~amika 3D Volume and Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner (~$1): My Bonus item this month was a Shampoo and Conditioner packet. It is only enough for one use, so I won’t be able to see any real changes in my hair.
All totaled my December 2019 Play! by Sephora had a value of about $40. That is 4x the cost of the box and I am satisfied with it.
What did you think of the December 2019 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.
