Play! Time

When Sephora jumped on the beauty box bandwagon I knew I wanted to sign up for it. I'm very much an amateur, as you may have guessed, and Sephora is all things beauty, so I definitely expected to get my money's  worth.

If you are unfamiliar with the Play! by Sephora box. It is $10 a month, $10.70 with tax, and they send you 5-6 samples from items that they carry in their stores. This is a great way to try new items WITHOUT spending hundreds. The box always ships in the third week of the month, so keep that in mind as well. You can find out more info and sign up for the wait list here.

Above you will see how this month's box looked when I opened it. I was surprised to see the box with only stripes because previous month's boxes have had a lipstick design on them.  The theme for this box is The Forces of Nature and I am super excited about it!

I'm most excited about those masks, so let's start there...

First up is the Korres - Wild Rose Sleeping Facial. It is described as a lightweight facial treatment that melts into the skin to brighten and moisturize with wild rose oil. That sounds amazing and I can't wait to try it!

Next comes the Origins - Maskimizer - Skin Optimizing Mask Primer with two sample mask formulas. The innovative primer spray is said to provide optimal mask results. One mask is for purifying and one is for deep moisturizing. I love a good mask and I hope that these don't disappoint. Especially with this primer spray. 

Lips are the one thing I really like to apply before leaving the house, because I'm always in sunglasses so you see them most. This month's box featured Tarte's - Tarteist Lip Crayon in Latergram, a lip liner and primer, and Bite Beauty's - Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Kimchi. While I'm not over the moon excited about these, I am happy to have a neutral liner and fun pink lipstick.

I was very nervous to see that there was a perfume sample included because I am so picky, but Atelier Cologne - Orange Sanguine was a great summer choice. It is a very refreshing scent that I hope my husband will enjoy on me.

Lastly, the Briogeo - Don't Despair, Repair! - Deep Conditioning Mask was included. This is an intensely hydrating formula to repair and restore for lustrous, healthy hair. I will likely not be using this product. I already have very healthy hair, because I do not color or damage it with heat basically ever. Maybe you will see this sample in a future giveaway!

Overall, I feel like this was a big win for me, since I will be using 5 out of 6 products. Also, if you see anything you are interested in, you can find a link to each full size item by clicking on the name of the item.
