PLAY! by Sephora: September 2017 Box

Aloha Friends!  I told you I'd be back... And I'm back with one of my favorite posts to write every month... September's PLAY! by Sephora box!

As you all know, PLAY! boxes are the best because I get to try lots of new products that I wouldn't necessarily purchase myself from Sephora (though I do have a couple of the things featured in this month's box lol).  I always recommend the PLAY! box to people who are looking for a beauty subscription box because you get six high end products, versus maybe one or two high end products, and other drugstore products from other beauty subscription boxes.  If you'd like to get yourself a PLAY! box, check out this link (I don't get anything if you click it or if you sign up!) to check if there are spots open and start getting beautified!  But for now, let's get into the box!

September's box is themed "Fall Into Beauty" which is perfectly fitting since Autumn is right around the corner, or it already started, it depends on when you're reading this.  The products featured in this month's box were catered for Fall beauty and skincare regimens!

"Brow and Forever"
Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow Volumizing Fiber Gel in Deep

It's no secret on this blog that Gimme Brow is one of my favorite brow products, and if you didn't know, you can read about why I love it here!  Gimme Brow is a volumizing, water-resistant fiber gel that "mimics the look of real hair to create thick, lush-looking brows".  It's perfect for days you don't want to do your full brow routine, but still want a clean, filled look, or even for days when you do fill your brows and just want them to look a little fuller and more natural!

"Your Partner in Line"
Sephora Collection Contour Eye Pencil 12 HR Wear Waterproof in Black Lace

This eyeliner pencil is creamy and easy to apply.  It claims to be long-lasting as well as waterproof too!  I can honestly vouch for this eyeliner because I had it a few years ago and I loved it so much. I'm not a huge pencil liner user, but this liner is seriously long-lasting and waterproof.  Not to forget to mention that it's super affordable compared to other great (and not-so-great) pencil liners that Sephora has to offer.

"On the Night Side"
Algenist POWER Recharging Night Pressed Serum

This highly concentrated serum is made with Alguronic Acid, which is "a powerful chemical compound that occurs in microalgae and helps to regenerate and protect the skin".  If you're a return reader, you know that I'm obsessed with skincare, so when I saw this in the both, I was super excited. Then however, my excited slighted dwindled when I smelled it and found that it's pretty perfume-y, and we all know how I'm super particular about the way a product smells.  The smell aside, I'm excited to try it because I've never tried a pressed serum before - it's essentially a serum in balm form, that melts as it warms into your skin -and it seems really interesting to use!

"A Matte Made in Heaven"
Urban Decay Vice Liquid Lipstick in Amulet

A liquid lippie!  My favorite!!!  Urban Decay's liquid lipsticks are incredible, and this "satin-matte", or as UD calls it, a "comfort matte", is a brick rose color which is perfect for Fall.  It's super long-lasting and intensely pigmented.  I was honestly so disappointed that this was in the box because I already redeemed points for it like three Sephora orders ago lol.  I do love the color though; it has a sliiiiight shimmer, but not enough to make your lips look glittery.  I really recommend UD's Vice Liquid Lipsticks to an liquid lippie lovers because they are super pigmented and literally do not budge.  Backtalk is my favorite color in the range!

"A Cream Come True"
Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb

"Refreshing gel-cream formula drenches skin in a burst of cooling, light-as-a-feather moisture".  I was so so soooo excited to see this in this month's box because I had a tiny little sample packet of this moisturizer AND I WAS IN LOVE.  I prefer gel-cream moisturizers over cream moisturizers, because they are cooling and overall just feel better on the skin, and this moisturizer is SO GOOD. It's lightweight which makes it really great for wearing under makeup!

This Month's Bonus! "On Again, Soft Again"
Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Shampoo and Conditioner

"A multitasking, hydrating conditioner and shampoo duo that takes dry, course, frizzy hair to touchably soft, silky, and detangled".  It's infused with argan oil, coconut oil, macadamia nut oil, sweet almond oil, safflower seed oil, and grapeseed oil.  To be very honest, this shampoo and conditioner scares me because I have super oily hair, and using and oil based products seems like it would be dangerous, though I did hear that if you're oily you should use oils, but IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT.  Anyways, I'm not sure I'll use it, I'll sleep on it and let you know what I decide to do lol.

And that is everything that was in this month's PLAY! by Sephora box!  This box wasn't too impressive to me to be honest.  I have or have tried majority of the products featured this month, but you win some, you lose some.  I'm just glad there was no perfume sample this month, because I never use them, or even smell them.

As always, thanks so much for reading!!!

With Love,
