Play! By Sephora Review – September 2017 – Box #1

Happy Saturday, anybody!  I promise you're all enjoying your weekend so far. Today, we are communicable upwards on my Sephora Play! sample box for September 2017.  Unfortunately, October'southward box was shipped to my quondam accost in California subsequently I had moved, and then I won't be able to review it this calendar month 🙁 However, I just updated all my dazzler subscription accounts then starting this calendar month, I should be receiving them at my new address ? Play! is Sephora's subscription service that provides five beauty samples plus one fragrance sample for $10/month (plus local taxes).

September's theme was Autumn Into Beauty and the Play! Bag came with vi products in this pretty satin pink pouch.  It is totally giving me Victoria Clandestine vibes. As usual, it included an insert with product descriptions/ directions and a Play! Pass, redeemable in Sephora stores for fifty extra Beauty Insider points with whatever purchase.

1. Algenist Power Recharging Dark Pressed Serum – Deluxe Sized (0.23 fl oz)

Highly concerted solid serum melts into skin to smooth and visually refine dull, uneven complexions (insert) .  The formula and texture of this serum reminds me of coconut oil.  At room temperature it is solid, but it melts to a liquid between the heat of your easily.  I haven't seen a huge difference in my peel since adding it to my nightly routine, just it feels lightweight and provides additional moisture overall.

2. Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow Volumizing Fiber Gel in Deep – Deluxe Sample Sized (0.03 oz)

Volumizing, water-resistant fiber gel mimics the look of existent hair to create thick lush-looking brows  (insert).Outset off, the packaging is ambrosial.  I similar the teeny tiny brush which is wonderful for grabbing all the little hairs.  The gel adds a light tint of colour and tames unruly hairs.  If you have naturally thick or defined brows, this is great on its own for those quick, no makeup- makeup days.  Still, if yous have thin brows, I would recommend this every bit an boosted step after y'all've shaped them with a pencil or pomade.

3. Urban Decay Vice Liquid Lipstick in Amulet – Palatial Sized (0.02 fl oz)

Waterproof, intensely pigmented liquid lipstick in a satin-matte brick rose shade  (insert). Amulet is flattering, everyday shade.  However, the formula was not my favorite.  Despite being long-lasting, I establish it applied rather patchy and felt very dry and uncomfortable.  With all the cracking liquid lipstick formulas on the market, I was disappointed in Urban Disuse's formula.

4. Sephora Collection Contour Eye Pencil 12hr Wear Waterproof in Blackness Lace – Deluxe Sized (0.017 oz)

Creamy, like shooting fish in a barrel-to-apply pencil with a long-lasting waterproof formula that glides on smoothly  (insert).Good grief, I call back this is the second or third time I've received this Sephora Eyeliner Pencil ?  The formula is creamy and pigmented, but doesn't last long on my lesser lash line.  I hope this is the concluding time information technology is included every bit I would much rather endeavour some different eye products.

5. Belif The True Foam Aqua Flop – Deluxe Sized (0.33 fl oz)

Refreshing gel-cream formula drenches skin in a flare-up of cooling, lite-as-a-feather moisure (insert).This blue gel has a refreshing scent and feels lightweight, while providing a lot of moisture to the skin.  The texture reminds me of Korean sleeping masks/ packs, if you're familiar with that.  I packed this on my trip to Jamaica and loved the hydration it added to my nightly routine.

6. IGK Hot Girls Shampoo and Conditioner – Sample Sized (0.23 fl oz 10 2)

Perfect for heat tool addicts and damaged and colored hair, this shampoo and conditioner combo takes stressed-out strands to touchably soft and silky (insert). This is the showtime time since I begun my Play! subscription that the perfume sample has been replaced and I'thou disappointed 🙁 I dislike using these type of packets for shampoo and conditioner then I'll be passing this along.

Overall Rating: I was rather let down by September's Sephora Play! Bag and so I accolade it a rating of v/10 stars based on my beginning impressions.  I wasn't thrilled with the product selection or performances, plus the lack of perfume samples was another thwarting for me.  I'grand crossing my fingers Sephora comes through next month!  The only production I was impressed with was the Belif Moisturizing Gel.

What are your thoughts on the Sephora Play! Pocketbook?  Which products, if any, were you most excited to exam out?

XO,
