First peek! I love January’s cheerful bag!

The theme for the January 2017 Play! by Sephora box was

Beauty, Set, Go

The large fold-out product information sheet (the PLAY! BOOK) gives lots of great instructions and suggestions, no pricing or actual photos. The PLAY! PASS card is attached to the front of the PLAY! BOOK.

Tarte – Frxxxtion Stick .22 oz sample size ($2.50)

This is a twist-up exfoliating solid gel cleanser that can also be used as a 10 minute mask to purify and revitalize your skin. You rub the gel stick on your face and add water – it works up into a lather to slough away impurities.

Drunk Elephant – Lala Retro Whipped Cream 5 ml sample size ($.60)

This is a rich moisturizing face cream made with a blend of six African oils to brighten and firm your skin.

Ouai Haircare – Treatment Mask .5 oz sample size ($4)

This treatment mask for your hair strengthens strands as well as giving your hair a healthy shine. Use it prior to showering and leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes.

It Cosmetics – Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream sample size 4 ml ($8.70)

This is an SPF 50 CC cream in medium. It has high pigment and full coverage but blends in well without creasing. This cream also has hyaluronic acid to moisturize and protect against aging.

Clinique – Almost Lipstick in Black Honey mini size ($15)

This is a sheer, glossy lip color that has been a favorite since the 1970s. This was one of the items I really looked forward to using but the tube was stuck and would not raise the lipstick up, then after the cap was put back on the lipstick popped up and was smashed on the lid.

Tory Burch – Love Relentlessly 1.5 ml sample size ($4)

This is a new fragrance that is lightly spicy with a patchouli base. It is not too heavy for day wear but would be appropriate for an evening out as well.

The retail value of the beauty samples in the January 2017 Play! by Sephora box came to roughly $34.80 with 2 skin care products, 1 hair care product, 2 cosmetics, and the perfume sample. I rarely use scents so I will find a new home for the perfume but everything else is great!
