Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

[ElleElleG]

Hi All! 

We are long overdue for an updated Subscription Sharing thread!  Whether it's BoxyCharm, Ipsy, or PopSugar we want to hear (and see) all about what you are subscribed to.

Interested in trading with other users?  Here are some things you need to know from @SydBristow and her trade threads:

Spoiler

IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with Sephora's terms of use, items cannot be listed "for sale" or even for trade for Sephora or other gift cards. Please do not list "prices" either (which implies selling), but you can list approximate trade value.

Because a number of fake items have been sent in trades, it is strongly advised you provide photos of your higher-end items, including the labeling (you may be asked for it anyway) and list WHERE you purchased the item from. Fakes are readily available from less reputable sellers and can contain toxins! It is important to everyone to know where their cosmetics come from.

Please also be aware that some makeup products cannot be sanitized - please use caution in your trades. When in doubt, ask the community, it's a great resource! Used items you may wish to avoid are mascara, liquid eyeliner, lip glosses, and cream products.

Acquiring Items
Please use discretion with whom you enter into trades with. There is a summarized list of trusted traders here: http://community.sephora.com/t5/Off-Topic/List-of-Successful-Traders-January-2015/td-p/1852954 Protect yourself in your trades, ask questions (such as where an item was purchased), ask for additional photos (to show level of usage and/or labeling to prove authenticity).
If you don’t feel 100% comfortable doing a trade because someone is new, you can request they send their items first.

Communication
Please use the private message system on Beauty Talk and/or tag the user you are trying to get in touch with. Communication is key! You can tell a lot about a trade by how the communication goes. If you will be unavailable for any periods of time, please be up front, and if there are any issues with shipping please be up front about that as well.

Delivery
Having tracking and insurance on shipments goes a long way to figuring out where an item might be. The USPS puts anticipated delivery dates and tracking numbers right on the receipt. If there is any issue with an item you have sent out, please follow up with the carrier.

Apologies if this has been posted already; I didn't expect that we would get another Play! Luxe box so soon!  The PLAY! BY SEPHORA - PLAY! LUXE by SEPHORA Vol. 2 is available for purchase on the Sephora app.  The product photo already shows a spoiler for 2 of the 6 products in the bag:  a DS Tom Ford perfume and a DS Hourglass mascara.  

Any guesses for the remaining items?  I don't think Christophe Robin makes skincare, so maybe that one is a typo?  

[Luvstravel]

Just received my Luxe Play. I was happy with it. Cute bag! Included Tata Harper rejuvenating serum, Hourglass Caution mascara, Christophe Robin hair mask, Tatcha water cream, Tom Ford black orchid and Givency Rouge Interdit Vinyl black lipstick (which goes on light sheer pink bslm) . I haven't tried the serum, hair mask or the Givenchy lipstick so I was pleasantly surprised.

Someone shared a picture in the Play group. Looks like Tatcha Water cream, CR Regenerating mask, Hourglass Caution Mascara, TH Resurfacing serum, TF Black Orchid, and Givenchy Rouge Interdit Vinyl lipstick. Glad I passed on this one.

[ashacroo]

I think there’s a tatcha water cream, the Christophe product may be an oil that is actually marketed to use for body, face and hair. Not sure about the tata Harper product as she has a lot of deluxe sample products out

[sonnydee]

That looks like the caution mascara from hourglass....yuck! Has me questioning if I want this or not. 🤔

@MlleCC that's what I was thinking too about the Christophe

The best Play box I have ever received - 681 ❤️

I love Nudestix, so I am super happy to get one.

[RebeccaBT]

Hi @angel7594,

That is a great PLAY! box. I am happy you are loving this months box! Have fun playing with your new goodies!

Best,
Rebecca 

[angel7594]

Thank you @RebeccaBT! I am loving everything, especially the nudestix and mascara. I haven’t tried SC mascaras before, so it was cool to get one in my box. I will be picking up a full size- it is amazing!  ❤️

[txcatx]

If Play boxes always looked like this, I never would have unsubscribed!

[sp1771]

@angel7594What a great selection of items! I love the TF primer. I really hope they introduce Play in Canada soon!

[christyrc]

That’s the best one I’ve seen! Lucky girl!

[Kim888]

that is an awesome box @angel7594 !!

[ElleElleG]

This is one that definitely makes me miss my Play! subscription...enjoy @angel7594💕

[Tamara76]

@angel7594 I got the same box and I totally agree!💗💗💗

[bem564]

This is my Play! box as well! It hasn't arrived yet and I'm really looking forward to it!

@angel7594

[lmaster]

@angel7594 I wanted to try that Sunday Riley so bad! lucky 😍

[eshoe]

That Sunday Riley Cream is nice, @angel7594👍🏼

[Lazybeautybeast]

Looks like another LUXE box is coming tomorrow to the app. Check the thread in the Sephora Play group for my details. The picture has items from tatcha, Tom Ford, and Hourglass but they mention Givenchy in the post as well.

September Facetory and September Play! just arrived! So happy with both! September is shaping up to be a great sub box month for me!

[PenelopeBT]

@KrishAtl I subscribe to Facetory and it's really inspiring me to use sheet masks more often. I'm usually not done with the previous month when a new package arrives. lol
