Sephora August 2017 Play Box review

Elements of Beauty

Get to know the hardworking ingredients that power your beauty routine.

This was one of the better play boxes that I have received so I think I will stay subscribed for a bit longer.

1. BeautyBlender micro mini - It's so small that I know that I will never use it.
2. Clinique HIM Dual-Ended High Impact Mascara and Primer Duo - I don't think I need another mascara cause I have many and I don't use it but it has a primer with it, so I might give it a try.
3. Hourglass - Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick in Shell - I've never been into foundation sticks so I might only use this during the wintertime.
4. Korres - Golden Krocus Ageless Saffron Elixir Serum - great for traveling and I will definitely be taking this on my trip next week.
5. Caviar - Anti-Aging Miracle Multiplying Volume Mist - this is the haircare product in the box. Great for people with thin hair who wants a little volume.
6. Burberry - Black - I love all the Burberry scents because there is a tint of floral and matureness to it.

Sephora Favorites Get Glowing!

This Sephora Favorites Box has been my favorite so far.
I think there is a trend where I prefer the Sephora inside JCPenny Sephora Favorites boxes over the regular Sephora boxes.

I have also noticed that I prefer the skincare boxes over the makeup boxes.

Lit-from-within starts with more flawless skin

Rev up the radiance for a brighter, more youthful-looking complexion. 

These products have many natural ingredients such as ginseng, lemon, basil, ginger, gold, jojoba, grapefruit just to name a few.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal - a really nice tinted moisturizer

Beauty blender in nude - interesting that they put this in the box. Maybe the color.
Origins GinZing Refreshing Scrub Cleanser - can never go wrong with cleansers from Origins.
Korres Rose vitamin C active brightening Oil - I've been loving this oil during this winter.
Boscia Sake cleansing Water - I really like how this fells on the skin.
Baremineral skinlongevity vital power infusion - nice mini serum
PeterThomas 24k gold mask pure luxury lift and firm mask - this mask does firm and tightens the skin.
ole Henriksen truth serum collagen booster - great serum for the winter since we lack vitamins.
Farmacy skin dew hydrating essence mist and setting spray - great mist plus a Farmacy brand in a Favorites box is a plus.

Sephora Play July 2016

My First Sephora Play Box (July 2016) has arrived!!

The theme is "Effortless Summer"

I'm thinking natural looking makeup and skincare.

 

Some people might like these items and some may not.

On a scale of 1-5, my final is a 3.

Included in this box was:

1 - First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser - I don't like getting cleanser cause I have too many. Plus I'm not a fan of this brand because of some of the ingredients the company uses. But I will put this in my travel bag.

2 - Nest Fragrances - Citrine - It's a cute floral fruity scent up my aisle. Perfect for spring and summer.

3 - Ouai Wave Spray - If only I didn't buy the Sephora Favorites - Summer Hair Saviors (which I am enjoying). I will use this for my trip to Taiwan in October.

4 - Smashbox Photo Finish Primer - I don't use primer (gave it to my mom who loves primer)

5 - Benefit Cosmetics Dew the Hoola Soft Matte Liquid Bronzer - I have really light Asian skin so I don't even know where to begin using a bronzer. Will be giving this to a friend.

6 - BeautyBlender blotterazzi - perfect for summer when you are outside, but is it hygienic?

I do like the information pamphlet because it gives tips on how to use products if you are new to it. For improvement, I hope that they can curate samples based on your skin tone and type. Overall, if more than half of the samples are usable then it's good for me.

Maybe I should start piling up a "giveaway bag". Should I?
