I got my very first Play by Sephora Box this week! Did you get yours? The Play by Sephora May Box’s theme is “The Forces of Nature” and includes high performing products that are good for you.
If you aren’t in the know, Play is Sephora’s new beauty box subscription service that costs $10, releases monthly, and includes five samples and/or deluxe size products as well as a tip guide, tutorials, and a perfume sample.
Play by Sephora was launched in a few select test markets but New York was not one until recently. Several weeks ok I finally received an invite to sign up for the box. Right now I believe it is open subscription so you can head over to Sephora.com, pop in your email address, and you’ll be signed up for the box. They close this down from time to time when subscriptions fill up quickly. In this case, you’ll be offered to be placed on a waiting list and they will e-mail you when the box sign up is open again. But as I said, as of right now, it appears to be open for enrollment.
It’s debatable for me whether the box is worth $10. Considering they do not charge a shipping fee I’m taking that into consideration as it must cost them anywhere from $4 to $5 bucks to send this box (it might be light but postage has gone up considerably so it likely cost them around $4.50 to ship this). Plus they put money into the box design itself as well as the enclosed tip guide and the drawstring bag everything comes in. On that note, I will say they might have blown most of their budget on the packaging and the shipping versus the actual content. There’s no reason to ship it in a box plus put it all inside a drawstring bag as well.
I love the idea trying something new from Sephora and there are a few products in here that I’ve been wanting to try anyway so in the case this was great. But overall, the contents for May are a bit uneventful and pretty small too so don’t expect too much!
Let’s take a look!
