Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon with a purchase amount which I hate (SUCH A DOWNGRADE), 5 deluxe samples and 1 bonus sample. Why not just say 6? I don’t get it. Lately we have been getting between 6 and 8 items per month you never really know how many things you are going to get.

All the brands will be brands you can find in Macy’s which is cool since they sell Mac and a lot of other brands that are never to rarely seen in subscription boxes.

Powder Puffs

I have definitely gotten this before and the other mascara we got in this box weird that we got two mascaras.

Tony Moly I’m Rose Sheet Mask

I can’t use this but these masks are generally fine they really don’t do what they say they end up being more moisturizing then anything but they are fine.

Lancome Idole Mascara

Full Size: 8 ml

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 2.5 ml

Wow the full size of this is super tiny. This feels like its going to be comfortable and the color will be non existent.

Wow this is a barbie pink blush. I don’t see myself getting a whole lot of use out of this. But it is full size.

What’s In My Trash? March 2024

Wooo actually under my starting number by 4 items that’s great gotta keep that momentum going.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Cream I love this cream its really light and refreshing. I really love it I never buy it because it’s a little pricey for just moisture and I have so many moisturizers but I would buy it if I had the need.

Repurchase: Maybe

Algenist Triple Eye Renewal Balm I really didn’t like this it was thick I don’t feel like it did much it wasn’t even that moisturizing.

Repurchase: No

Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray I bought this because I really wanted to just try some new face sprays. This was supposed to be calming but I just felt meh about it.

Repurchase: No

Patchology Rejuvenating Eye Gels these work my undereyes were super dry and itchy and dehydrated and this really made a visible significant difference.

Repurchase: Yes

Peter Thomas Roth Goodbye Acne Complete Acne Treatment Gel this was a good Acne treatment it did work but so do things that are far less expensive than this. I suspect if I was younger and having more serious acne problems and could use this up faster with it being gentle but still effective that would be valuable to me but since that’s not the stage I’m in this cost is not in proportion to my need.

Repurchase: No

Garnier Skinactive Moisture Bomb The Super Hydrating Mask Anti-Fatigue x2 I really like this mask I think it is really soothing and really does depuff and make my skin feel and look better. It also has a ton of serum that I can save and use for a day or two after.

Repurchase: Yes

Sweet & Shimmer Scented Wipes in Gum Drop I like these for swatches and just cleaning my hands when I’m crafting and stuff like that but I don’t think they make the scented ones anymore I have only see the unscented ones the last few holidays makes me sad.

Repurchase: If they come back

Dove Sensitive Deodorant I don’t this this was a terribly effective deodorant and it left really bad white marks.

Repurchase: No

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Tin Candle this has no scent throw and they are hard to clean but the little containers are cute.

Repurchase: No

Victoria Secret Candle in Coco this had no scent which is weird because the other ones in this line do have a great scent throw a bit odd.

Repurchase: No

VS Candle in Coco Pineapple this was a bit musky which not my favorite glad to be done with it.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Single Wick Candle in Suntan one of my favorite scents the single candles do not have as good of a scent throw as the 3 wicks at all.

Repurchase: Only a 3 wick not the singles

Cowboy and Cricket Wax Melt in Blackbeard this has a very gunpowdery manly smell that I’m not terriblely fond of but the scent throw was good.

Repurchase: No

Unplugged Book Box Candle in Sea God this burned fast it was gone in a day.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Hanukkah I love this it is smells so good and it lasts.

Repurchase: Yes

Trader Joe’s Moisturizing Lip Balm in Strawberry Guava these are great lip balms they work well and taste goods.

Repurchase: Yes

eos Lip Balm in Vanilla Mint I don’t love these balls I never did but it was nostalgic of the time when you had to have like ever color and flavor of them. They are just not convenient packaging to apply and iyoui can’t get all the balm unless you dig it out.

Repurchase: No

Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips this is not very tinted and not as balmy as the aloe or the regular.

Repurchase: No

Purlisse BB Tinted Moist Cream SPF 30 I like this it doesn’t break me out it makes my skin look nice it isn’t full coverage or long lasting but I liked using it.

Repurchase: Maybe

KVD Good Apple Full-Coverage Serum Foundation I surprising really liked this considering I don’t really like full coverage foundations it didn’t sit terribly on my skin it didn’t feel super heavy but I think finsinf a shade match might be challenging. I cocktailed two of the samples together to get something that worked but I don’t know what the actual shade range it like.

Repurchase: Maybe

Lilly Lashes Triple X Mascara I thought I was going to love this the first few uses my lashes looked so good but then it was just dry hard to comb through and made my lashes really spikey and clumpy.

Repurchase: No

Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Ultra-Hydrating Body Butter in Vanilla Apricot I wanted to like this but the apricot scent is just too off putting for me and I was struggling to get through this.

Repurchase: No

Alo Glow System Mega- C Body Wash this was boring it didn’t have a scent I don’t feel like it did anything special it was just a very boring body wash.

Repurchase: No

Tree Hut Moisturizing Shave Oil in Candy Cane I love these I loved this scent.

Repurchase: Yes

Frank Body Cacao Coffee Scrub I hate these I hate coffee scrubs they are so messy they leave my shower a wreck they are hard to wash off I just don’t like the process involved even though the scrub is good I just can’t. Repurchase: No

FCS Perfume Oil in Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey Things this was very sweet and had a lot of milk notes which isn’t my favorite but I didn’t hate it.

Repurchase: No

Lush Body Spray in Snow Fairy I love the Snow Fairy Scent and I haven’t had it in a super long time so this was a little Christmas treat to myself and it lasted a pretty long time.

Repurchase: Yes


Pretty good month this month.

Heavy skincare box this month. Mostly made up of things I unfortunately have tried and not really enjoyed.

Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $114

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $22.80

I don’t think this serum really does anything but I know it is well loved.

Perricone MD Firming and Brightening Eye Cream

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $75

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $25

I have used this eye cream for a while one time and I didn’t find it to firm or brighten and it is expensive compared to eye creams I really do like and find effective. Perricone kinda never seems to work that well for me.

First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser

Full Size: 142 g

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 28.3 g

Value: $4.78

This is a creamy kinda cleanser not really my favorite it is gentle but that isn’t something I am usually looking for so this just isn’t the face wash for me but if you have really sensitive or dry or irritated skin this is probably perfect for you.

Foldable Tote Bag

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $2.88

This is really nice. Its pretty big feels pretty sturdy and it folds up very useful.

Origins Checks and Balances Milky Oil Cleanser

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $31

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $3.10

I love trying new oil makeup removers so I am super excited for this. I don’t like the original foamy check and balances wash but I have high hopes for this.

Sunday Riley B3 Nice 10% Niacinamide Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $65

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $10.83

I absolutely love niacinamide serums and I love Sunday Riley so this is great for me to get.
