It’s time to unbox my second Sephora Play Box. I actually knew ahead of time what was going to be in this box and I was kind of on the fence about it. Some items I was super excited about, the Becca Cosmetics Backlight Priming Filter (I actually had bought a full-size bottle right before I read the spoilers for the box “facepalm”), but there were others I was kind of meh about, the Benefit They’re Real Mascara (I have so many of these deluxe samples that I give they away to people for no reason!). Let’s jump into the Sephora Play Box for June 2016 and see what my final thoughts were…

Sephora Play Unboxing: June 2016 Contents || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #bblogger #sephoraplay #subscriptionbox

Tarte Tarteguard 30 Sunscreen Lotion || A non-chemical sunscreen that isn’t sticky has a SPF of 30. Slightly moisturizing but those with dry skin may want to layer with a moisturizer. *Note the pump on my deluxe sample broke before I got a chance to try this. I don’t know if that is just because for the samples Tarte used a cheaper product or if the same would happen with the full-size product.

Becca Cosmetics Backlight Priming Filter || A primer that shimmer in it to give a soft-focus blur on imperfections. Has a luminous but not greasy look to it. Can be worn under makeup or by itself.

Bumble and Bumble Don’t Blow It || A creme product that allows fine-to-medium hair to experience the air-dried style that is the rage without flyaways.

Benefit They’re Real Mascara || Benefit’s bestselling mascara in a convenient travel sized packaging.

bareMinerals bareSkin Bronzer || A liquid bronzer that can be worn over foundation or alone for a natural looking sun kissed look.

Tocca Beauty Perfume in Florence || Main notes are gardenia, tuberose, jasmine, pear, and violet leaf. Scent is a fresh floral scent that can be worn everyday.

While I was bummed that the Tarte sample broke and that I received ANOTHER They’re Real Mascara I still really enjoyed the rest of the items in the June 2016 Sephora Play Box. Actually one of my favorite items in this month’s Sephora Play Box was the Bumble and Bumble hair product! I can’t to review it for everyone shortly!
