Review - January Sephora Play! Box

I’ve been subscribed to the Sephora Play! Box since it first came out and a few have been hits while others were a bit of a miss. I thought I’d start reviewing them on my blog here so that others can see them in case they’re trying to make up their mind whether or not to subscribe. Let’s start off with the first box of 2016! :-) 

 

Living Proof Prime Style Extender Spray – So this is hair priming spray (from what it says on the bottle). I  didn’t know hair primer was a thing to be honest. The back says that this helps to extend any style and make it last twice as long. I’ve banned myself from all heat tools lately so my idea of a style is just running my fingers through once after my hair air dries. I passed this one on to my little sister. 

Clinique Chubby Stick Sculpting Highlight – this is a stick highlighter from Clinique, another product I passed on to my little sister. It looks gorgeous but I’m allergic to artificial yellow dye and Clinique puts it in quite a lot of their products, including this one. 

Sephora Collection Eye Mask – I have this on as I type and so far I'm quite enjoying it. It's quite cooling and my little sisters are quite amused by the way it looks. I've used the full size version of this mask before and loved it so I have high hopes!

Tocca Beauty Perfume Sample in Isabel – Hands down my favorite product from this box, it smells soooo beautiful (can a smell be beautiful?). I’m definitely buying a full size of this as soon as possible. 

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel – Umm the name Dr. Gross always gets me hehe but I’m excited to try this out.

Dr. Brandt Skincare Needles No More – I. Hate. Needles. Even if I ever wanted to get Botox, I wouldn’t for the simple fact that there are needles involved. This little guy sounds like quite a miracle product with some fairly bold claims. I’ve used it once so far and it smells quite minty and fresh. Not much of a difference in the wrinkle I put it on (honestly it looks deeper if anything, I'm fervently hoping that's my imagination) but I will report back.

Along with the products there was also a little booklet with more details on each product and a card one could present in a Sephora store for more information on how to use this month's items. 

And that’s the lot! Overall, I don’t know about this box. I can’t quite decide if it’s a hit or miss. It’s somewhere in the middle really. What do you guys think? Would you rate this a hit or a miss?
