May’s Play! by Sephora box is themed “Beauty BFFs.” With a name like that, I was expecting a rare box of beauty goodies to play with. Instead (as what seems to usually be the case), the contents were mainly prep products. This really disappointed me, because as a beauty enthusiast, I connect with Sephora because of the makeup.

At the moment, my browsing history is a veritable mood board of the things I’m most interested in – homeware, delicate intimates, dainty jewelry, and comfy, slouchy basics for spring. Here’s a peek at the inner workings of my mind, as evidenced through my screen time:

My April Play! by Sephora box is themed “Winning Beauty,” playing off a teaser that cites, “Up your beauty game with this month’s batch of sought-after makeup, skincare, and hair care.” Translation: Here’s a box that has no lipstick, foundation, highlighter, powder, bronzer, blush, lip gloss, basically any makeup products except – a mascara.

This month’s Ipsy Glam Bag is the last drop for Q1 of 2019, rounding out a string of bags and products that have been an anomaly historically compared to Glam Bags of years past. As per usual, I’m revealing my Glam Bag to you and providing my completely unfiltered opinions, along with a close-up look at the bag and products Ipsy curated for me. If you’re curious, keep reading!

This month’s PLAY! box is themed “Beauty in Bloom” in what I’m sure is a cheeky reference to the changing seasons. Inside is a five-piece “bounty of beauty,” curated to help my makeup routine “bloom.” I received products from Amika, Bite Beauty, DryBar, NARS, and Sephora Collection.

This month’s PLAY! box is themed “Lovestruck Beauty” with the blurb “A meet-cute is about to happen between you and your February box.” Something’s got to be wrong with that copy, but I assume that it’s meant to be a play on words with Valentine’s Day being part of the theme. Ipsy’s been failing me lately, so what did Sephora send me?

Remember last month’s Ipsy bag? I wasn’t a fan for many reasons. However, a new month, a new Ipsy bag. I approached this month’s bag with fresh new enthusiasm, hoping they would bring their A-game and win back my respect. Would you be excited over this bag? Only one way to find out.
