The Unbasic Basics ~September 2016 Sephora Play!~

When I signed up for Sephora Play! I expected this to be my bae, but it really hasn't turned out that way. This box is more like a friend's with benefits, I like it when we're together, but it's not really what I need long-term.  I feel like this box is becoming rather disappointing. There was a repeat item (KVD liner) and even though I didn't receive this previously in a box I can understand how that is frustrating for some long-term customers.

Would it kill you to send something else out Allure?? Pur- lisse Blue Lotus 4-in-1 Cleansing Milk (Full-size $38): Please Allure, no more of this! This is my fourth Blue Lotus line item in the 4 months I've been subscribed to this box. While I'm happy to be able to get to try something that is on the more expensive side/something I don't have immediate access too, but I'm over it. I've used cleansing milks/balms in the past, so I know the drill. These are good to remove mak...
