Play by Sephora

Hey, Hey Friends!

What better way to start the new year than with some fun new beauty products to try out?

I received my first Play by Sephora box in late December and I am excited to share what items I got :)

I tried to film an unboxing video for you, but due to still being sick it didn't go well.
Maybe for the January box ;)

So here is what I received...

SMASHBOX Cover Shot Eye Shadow Duo in Golden Hour

A high pigment eyeshadow palette featuring warm, bronzy shades.

Full Size Palette $29

I wear bronzy eye shadows all the time, so these fit perfectly into my collection!

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS  Lip Gloss in Vintage

A lightweight, high-pigment lip gloss in a dusty rose shade with a high-shine finish.
Full Size $16

If you know me, you know that I tend to stick to Chapstick unless it is a special occasion.

This lip gloss is perfect for me though since it is a really soft shade.

DRYBAR Triple Sec 3-in-1

This airy spray revives lifeless strands, adds volume and body to your style, and extends your blowout.
Full Size $26 Mini $13

This mini is the perfect travel size!
I haven't tried it yet though, so I will report back soon :)
UPDATE: I tried this this morning and it smells amazing! Seems to work well too!

LAURA MERCIER Eye Basics in Wheat

A creamy eyelid primer that covers imperfections, keeps shadow crease-free, and helps makeup last.
Full Size $28

I don't use an eyeshadow primer on a daily basis, but I definitely do for nights out!

I just ran out of my Urban Decay primer, so I am looking forward to trying this one out.

PETER THOMAS ROTH 24K Gold Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Prism Cream

A luxurious all-over face cream that firms, smooths, and illuminates skin.
Full Size $42

I wish I realized that I received this before NYE!

Ugh! Love it!

TOM FORD Black Orchid

A sultry, glamorous fragrance that blends the notes of black orchid, incense, and sandalwood.

1oz. Bottle $84 Mini Touch Point $45

Unfortunately, I am not a perfume type of girl :(

And due to being sick I can't really smell this.

I'll get back to you once I can breathe normally again ;)

• UPDATE: It doesn't smell bad, but it is WAY too strong for me!

Do you receive Play by Sephora boxes?

I would love to hear your thoughts!

So here are the details for those of you who haven't heard of it or tried it yet....

Boxes are $10/month with free shipping :)

Each monthly box includes:

-Five deluxe makeup, skincare and hair care samples (plus a beauty bonus!)

-A collectible makeup bag

-Access to exclusive video how-tos and tutorials about how to use the products in your box

-PLAY! BOOK with tips, tricks, and how-tos about each sample

-PLAY! PASS to redeem in store for 50 bonus Beauty Insider points with a full-size purchase

-PLAY! DATE, a subscriber-only event that gives you and a friend the opportunity to come in store and play with products and meet with our beauty experts

I know this is only my first Play by Sephora box, but I can say I already like it better than any of the Birchbox or Ipsy bags I received in the past.

Why?

I can easily hop online and order the products or walk into my local Sephora and pick them up!

Also, based on the profile I filled out (fingers crossed) I won't be falling in love with a high-end product that I would never be able to afford!
