PLAY! by Sephora: March 2017 Box

Aloooooooha Friends!  It's been a while since I've posted a PLAY! by Sephora box overview because I've honestly been too excited and started using the products right away but I kept my cool this month and took pictures of everything before I went nuts.

I was really really really excited for March's box because the theme is "The Gleam Team" and we all know that means glowy, illuminating products AKA MY LOVES.  As soon as I opened this month's box I basically fainted, so I cannot wait to share the products with you... Lessss gooooooooo! Ohhh and I promise I will write about the December 2017, January, and February 2017 products that I received but didn't overview in a later post, so watch out for that!

So like I already mentioned, this month's theme is "The Gleam Team".  The box came with five products and a perfume that matched the gleam theme, and as always, there was also a pamphlet with product descriptions and this month's PLAY! pass, decorated with photos of iridescent wrappings and stones.  This month's bag is quite reminiscent of the first two PLAY! pouches I received.  It's just a basic white pouch with "Glow Your Own Way" printed in coral on the front, and a mint colored satin ribbon pull.  It's super cute but nothing tops the February 2017 bag (info coming soon!!).  So without further ado... Let's move onto the products! (As always, all links will be to the full sizes!)

"Glow and Tell"
This first product is a two-in-one moisturizer and luminizer that can be worn on it's own or underneath foundation. It claims to hydrate, blur, and enhance "any complexion with a lit-from-within finish".  So I as soon as I saw GLAMGLOW in this box I had a heart attack because their SUPERMUD mask has changed my life.  I immediately swatched it on my hand and it's beautiful and perfect to layer under foundation, but I wouldn't wear it on it's own since it seems a little too lumi by itself.  It also has a pretty strong scent, similar to the GLAMGLOW DREAMDUO scent, which I didn't like. I haven't tried it yet though so I won't toss it aside just yet.
The Specs: 0.24 oz. / 7 ml of product in a squeeze tube

"Has Watt It Takes"
The next product is a personal favorite already.  This Watt's Up! highlighter is already a bestselling product and I'm so happy they included it in this box.  If you're not already familiar with it, it's a highlighting stick that goes on as a cream but dries to a powder.  It's more of a soft-focus finish and it's also perfect for strobing.  Like I said, it's already a personal favorite but I'm still happy I get to use it again!
The Specs: 2.5 g / Net Wt. 0.08 oz of product in stick form

"The Surreal Deal"
So I'm so perplexed by this product.  It's my first Josie Maran product, so of course I was out of this world excited but according to the pamphlet, you can use it as either the first or last step in your makeup routine, meaning as primer or as a finisher???  I can't imagine rubbing a balm on top of foundation but I'm eager/nervous to try it.  Josie Maran is known for argan oil, so of course it's in this product too!
The Specs: 3 g / Net Wt. 0.1 oz. of product in a little pot

"A Gliding Light"
No lie, when I first saw this in my box, I thought Sephora went crazy and gave the Laura Mercier shadow stick again, BUT IT'S NOT!!!  It's a cream, waterproof shadow stick that claims to easily blend without tugging and wear flake-free.  The pamphlet does recommend starting with primer, as well as mentioning that you can use it as an eyeshadow or as a highlighter.  Being that I use the LM shadow stick everyday however, I couldn't help but to compare it and I noticed that it's a similar color and the formula seems similar as well.. but we'll see!
The Specs: No weight specs, product comes in a twist up stick form (basically exactly the same as the LM shadow stick lololol)

"Hair We Go!"
So before I talk about the product description, I want to mention the fact that this is a FULL TRAVEL SIZED product that retails AT SEPHORA for $15.  I was appalled when I saw it in the box and thought it might've been a mistake, but I ain't complaining... Anyways... This is a weightless spray that "delivers long-lasting volume and texture for thicker, fuller-looking hair that is silky-soft".  It's baaaaasically a dry shampoo that claims to provide more volume, without calling itself a dry shampoo.  I'm not really into dry shampoo/hair refreshing products since I wash my hair every day, but I'm excited to see if it really provides the volume it claims.
The Specs: 95 mL / 84 g / 3.0 oz aerosol can

This Month's Perfume Pick: "Fleur the Fun of It"
Directly from the PLAY! pamphlet: An infusion of rose petals and fresh notes of verbena soften by freesia create a lighthearted yet luxurious fragrance.  I haven't smelled this yet, because generally I'm a more fruity floral and this seems like a straight up floral, but I know the original Chloé perfume is very popular, so I'm excited to try this!
Fragrance Family: Floral
Top Notes: Lemon essence, absolute verbena, freesia
Middle Notes: Rose, cherry blossom
Base Notes: White cedar essence, bitter almond, amber
The Specs: 0.04 fl oz. / 1.2 ml glass spray bottle

And that is all the products in my March 2017 PLAY! by Sephora box!  I love these highlighting/glowy/illuminating themes because I'm obsessed with any product that illuminates. Sorry that I haven't shared one of these in a while, but I promise to try to control myself and take photos of the products before I use them all up.  I'll be writing about what I thought about the December 2016, January 2017, and February 2017 boxes in a coming post so keep an eye out for it! As always, thank you for reading!


With Love,

  1. Traditional fee strategies are literally few and far between, and there are no eWallets accepted right here. This welcome bonus is shortly followed by a 100% up to as} $1,000 reload 점보카지노 bonus, and the wagering requirements for this one are the identical. And regardless of the jungle theme, nothing about this casino web site is showy – instead, its consumer interface may be very easy to get the hold of. It’s also worth mentioning that, alongside fiat currencies, eight cryptocurrencies are accepted. Wild Casino at present has two variants – and they’re both reside variations.
