June 2016 Play! by Sephora

Play

Play! by Sephora is a monthly beauty subscription service provided by, you guessed it, Sephora. For $10 per month, you are sent five beauty products (hair, skin, makeup, ect) AND a fragrance sample in a Sephora sachet bag! At this point, there is a wait list, but you can join the queue and get more info HERE. FYI, I was on the wait list for a couple months before I got my invite.

Pros of Play!

  • Affordable, $10 per month
  • Prestige brands only
  • Fragrance is a bonus and doesn’t count as one of your 5 samples
  • Point bonus for Beauty Insiders (50 extra points per month with Play! Pass purchase)
  • Play! Book with product info and tips for use

Cons of Play!

  • Wait list only
  • No customization, everyone gets the same thing
  • Some repeats of common samples (I’m looking at you ‘They’re Real’)

What’s in Travel My Makeup Bag

I like to pack light, mainly because I am always packing at the last minute and just grab the bare minimum. Years of practice (?) have honed my skills. Here’s what I packed for my upcoming weekend trip to Louisville. All of it fits in ONE makeup bag!
