PLAY! by Sephora: November 2016 Box

Aloooooha Friends!  It's been a little while and I apologize!  Midterms drove me nuts for a couple weeks after I last posted but I finally had a minute to reorganize my life and here I am!  I received my PLAY! by Sephora November box yesterday and I'm honestly so excited to share it with you.  If you read my post reviewing the products from my October box (click here if you haven't!) then you probably already know that I didn't have the greatest experience with all the products, but when I opened this box, I knew I would definitely love all, if not most, of the everything!  So like with last month, this post is going to be an overview of all the products in the November box and I will follow up with my full review of everything around the end of the week of some time next week.  If you're new and confused about what the PLAY! by Sephora box is, read about it in first post here!  So without further ado... Let's get into the box!


The theme of November's box is "Best in Glow".  The pouch is super cute and includes little illustrations of the products that are included in the box.  I have to say that I honestly do prefer last month's pouch but this one is still so cute!  It came with five beauty products and one perfume pick, all of which coincide with the "glow" theme, as well as a pamphlet explaining each product and a PLAY! Pass.  All the products included this month were specially curated to "bypass winter dullness and wake your skin up".  As always, the links will be to the full size of each product on the Sephora website!

"What A Light Idea!"
Cover FX Illuminating Primer
- A irritant and paraban free primer is perfect for prepping skin for a glowy finish.  It helps to eliminate dullness and includes vitamin rich ingredients and will also help the improve skin's clarity overtime for long-lasting luminosity.  I'm really excited to try this because I've been in the market for a good primer.  I love glowy, dewy finishes so this primer is definitely in the running!
The Specs: 5 mL / 0.16 fl oz tube

"Go For The Rose Gold"
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Rose Gold
- A multipurpose, high-pigmented shadow stick that claims to glide on and blend easily for transfer-proof, all-day wear.  It can be used as an eyeshadow or liner and is crease-resistant.  Subtle or opaque, this shadow stick and go either way.  I'm probably most excited to try out this shadow stick.  I usually looooove shadow sticks for inner corner or bottom lid highlight since I love the 애교살 (aegyosal) eye look.  You guys know I also love rose gold more than anything in the world, so I really, really can't wait to give this shadow stick a try!
The Specs: 1.00 g / 0.03 oz twist-up stick

This Month's Perfume Pick: "At The Pop of Your List"
Stella McCartney - POP
- Directly from the PLAY! pamphlet: "A celebration of self-expression and independence, this bold, contemporary scent layers bright floral notes over a base of sandalwood."  I haven't smelled this yet, but I have a pretty good feeling I'm going to like it since it's floral!
The Specs: 1.5 mL / 0.06 fl oz glass mini-mini spray.  Fragrance Family: floral and woody / Top Notes: tomato leaf, violet leaf, green mandarin / Middle Notes: frangipani, tuberose, violet / Base Notes: sandalwood, muck, cedar

"Get A Remove On"
The Estée Edit by Estée Lauder Dissolve the Drama
- A 2-in-1 makeup remover and oil cleanser that transforms to a milky foam with a little bit of water.  This oil is made with aloe vera, jojoba oil, and cucumber extract to give skin a healthy glow and supple feel.  I'm generally not a fan of oil based makeup removers since I am a combination skin type, but I've heard nothing but good things about The Estée Edit products so I can't wait to try this!
The Specs: 15 mL / 0.5 fl oz mini bottle

"Kiss and Gel"
Sephora Collection Ultra Shine Lip Gel in Pin Up Pink
- A hydrating, glossy lip gel that visibly plumps lips.  It was inspired by the luxe, lacquered finish of gel nail polish, this lip gel gives the lips a fuller appearance with a lustrous sheen in an always-flattering hot pink hue.  I love Sephora Collection lip products, especially the cream lip stain, but I normally stay away from glosses.  The color of this "lip gel" scares me because it's so bright and I really only wear nudes and mauves or berries, but I'll still try it for the blog, of course!
The Specs: 0.1 oz doe-foot applicator

"It's Pore and Simple"
GLAMGLOW SUPERMUD Clearing Treatment
- A skin-clearing mud mask with activated charcoal that will draw out dirt and impurities while also brightening and softening skin.  It can also be used as a 15-minute spot treatment for breakouts.  I know I already said I was most excited for one product, but I'm also most excited for this one.  These masks have been out for a while and so many people I trust swear by it, but their price tag is waaaay above my budget so I never got to try it, so I'm sooo glad it came in this month's box!
The Specs: 10 g/ 0.3 oz tube

And there are all the products in my November PLAY! by Sephora box!  I've probably used the word "excited" way too many times in this post, but can you tell I'm excited to try everything???  As promised, I'll be back at the end of this week at the earliest, with my full review of everything.  I can't wait to try it all out and let you know what I think, so stay tuned!  As always, thanks for reading, beauties!!!

ALSO HAPPY ALMOST THANKSGIVING! I'm so grateful for all of you beautiful people!  Have a wonderful holiday and eat lots of mashed potatoes! :)
