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 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.

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.

I had high hopes for my first Glam Bag of 2019, but unfortunately, I was left woefully underwhelmed. From the plain theme-less bag to the products inside, I was left wanting more from January’s bag. I’m giving you the scoop today and revealing the entire contents of this month’s Glam Bag.

My first Play! by Sephora box of 2019 is themed “Your Beauty Future,” playing off a teaser that cites, “We don’t need to know your sign to predict that 2019 will be your best year yet – especially with this batch of cosmically curated beauty in hand.” Judging from my roundup of products, this beauty drop is themed around products that do more for your beauty routine.
