My experience, payment method,shipping, and what to expect.
When play! by Sephora fist came was in September 2015, if I am not wrong, it used to be a box with a lipstick print on it. I go my fist one in February 2016 after a long waiting list, Sephora started with a small community of subscribers, I think now is easier to get one, Now they have change the box for a small cute bag, that is different every month.
My thoughts
When I first got it I liked it, you get for what you pay for, let's think about it like this, most of this samples you can buy them but for not less than $10 dollars and if not you need to spend a lot of money to get points to redeem them and get a sample like this, plus is Sephora they only carry high-end makeup that most of us knows, and is a chance to try new products.
Payment Method
Credit card or debit card.
When will I be charged for my subscription?
Starting May 1, 2016, you will be charged the monthly fee and applicable sales tax for your recurring subscription between the first and fourth of each month.
Shipping
Shipping cost is already included in the $10 price, they provide you with a tracking number for your box, they usually ship on the middle of the month.
Unfortunately the play! box only ships inside the US.
What to expect
Five deluxe samples, including makeup, hair care, and skincare, plus a fragrance sample.
A card explaining what every product is, how to used it.
A Sephora pass that gives you 50 extra points with any purchase in Sephora stores.
All boxes are packed with the same products, unlike Ipsy every subscriber receives something different.

TOO FACED Chocolate Soliel Matte Bronzer in
Chocolate.

| This is not the one that I got in the box, I purchased this before, and since is the same I will be giving the other one away to someone that is why I did not open it. |
Lightweight, buildable matte bronzer formulated with cocoa powder for a natural-looking-and deliciously scented-summer glow.
How to Apply.
To avoid a Fake, baked look, only apply bronzer whenever the sun hits your face: above the browbone, under the cheekbones, and along the jawline to cover al these places, just follow a "3" shape on each side of your face.
-play! by Sephora.
I love this bronzer not only the smell but the praciticity of it, is so good for bronzing or in my case contouring a little since is matte and is not too orange or too cool tone for my skintone.
BEAUTYBLENDER blotterazzi.
Washable and reusable, this revolutionary cushion blotter is designed to fit into facial contours to remove shine and absorb oil without disturbing makeup.
What it does:
Shaped to fit all contours of the face, the blotterazzi™ pro saves you from unused corners like traditional blotting papers. The award-winning, beautyblender open cell structure of the blotterazzi pro material helps re-texturize skin, absorbing excess oil for a flawless-looking makeup result. It features a chic mirrored compact contains two black cushion blotters for beauty touch-ups on the go. Unlike when using a beautyblender, make sure your blotterazzi is dry.
