What is it: Every month you will get a bag, We used to get $5 off any beauty purchase then it became a coupon off a purchase amount and now we don’t even always get that, 5 deluxe samples and 1 bonus sample. Why not just say 6? I don’t get it. You never really know how many items are going to come its always different.
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.
This primer is fine. It isn’t my favorite its its not super glowy or pore filling there are just better primers especially considering this price point.
I actually have this in a full size I use it regularly. It is super glowy almost shimmery but not quite. It makes my skin look healthy and summery. It feels good on the skin I don’t like to wear foundation and make up wears well over this so this is a great score for me because it is pricey.
This was a really good month. I am so close to my goal but Dec usually means a big influx of items so its really going to be tough.

dani beauty Refresh Hydrating Face Mist this was fine the spray bottle was horrible I had to put it into a better spray bottle.
Repurchase: No
Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Mask this was great I saw a huge immediate improvement in my really tired dry dark under eyes after using these I really liked these. They are not the most moisturizing ones I have ever used but they stayed on really well brightened everything up really well my eyes felt better and they didn’t leave me sticky or over hydrated so I was able to put on makeup.
Repurchase: Yes
Live Tinted Rays Copper Peptide Eye Masks these were fine they were moisturizing they were super cute but they slipped around a
Meg Good Morning AM Mask this was fine it wasn’t really anything that special.
Repurchase: No
Clinique Moisture Surge 100h Auto-Replenishing Hydrator I like this moisturizer but its not anything special it is just light and moisturizing so I would never spend money on it.
Repurchase: No
StarFace Salicylic Acid Patches I don’t really like these I don’t think they work as well as others I have tried and the stars make them stay on worse and cover less area than the circles.
Repurchase: No
Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream Hydrating Moisturizer I like this moisturizer it is super light though this is not great for winter or dry skin.
Repurchase: Maybe
Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb The Super Hydrating Mask Soothing Sheet Mask this is a good sheet mask hydrating, soothing really skins into the skin and you can wear it for a long time because it is thick and saturated but stays on super well.
Repurchase: Yes
Clinique Moisture Surge 100h Auto-Replenishing Hydrator this is always a really nice moisturizer but I don’t have dry skin and it has no other benefits so I can’t really justify buying it but I love getting samples.
Repurchase: No
Juice Beauty Green Apple Age Defying Moisturizer this was so thick and hard to blend in.
Repurchase: No
La Mer The Rejuvenating Night Cream this was a really thick moisturizer also but it did absorb really well I just don’t love the scent on these ultra-high end skincare products. And I am suspicious that they really aren’t doing anything that much more special than mid-level products.
Repurchase: No
Foreo Supercharged Serum 2.0 this was crazy liquidy and not really enough product to see if it is doing anything.
Repurchase: No
Youth Haus Golden Glow Gold Face Mask this wasn’t good it was super thick and did not stay on well and I don’t think it did anything at all.
Repurchase: No
Rael Beauty Miracle Clear Exfoliating Cleanser this was fine, I really don’t think I would go out of my way to repurchase a particular cleanser.

Makeup (3)
Nyx Pore Filler Primer Base this left a really smooth feel to my skin and held on to make up well but it was not crazy pore filling it did some but not an excessive amount.
Repurchase: Maybe
Jeffree Starr Mini Liquid Lip in Top Shelf this is a good brown on me and the formulas on these are just really good they stay on well they aren’t uncomfortable they come off on things but they don’t smear or leave a mess or leave patches on my lips.
Repurchase: Yes
Pur Lit Mist Illuminating Setting Spray this was awful it left huge glowy spots on my face that I had to tap and blend out not my favorite thing to have to do but it did help my make up stay on.
Repurchase: No
Bodycare (4)
Lush Candy Cane Bubble Bar the bubble bars are good the bubbles last awhile and they smell nice but I struggle to break them up I have weak hands so that’s something to keep in mind. This turned the water such a pretty peachy pink color.
Repurchase: Maybe
Molton Brown Coastal Cypress & Sea Fennel this is a really nice quality bodywash the scent was just too masculine and strong for me. I would be curious to try other scents.
Repurchase: No

Repurchase: No
Haircare (5)
Olaplex No3 Hair Perfector (x2) I had to use two packets of this to fully cover my hair but I like this it really does help with all the damage in my hair from all the bleaching and dyeing I do to it. And I was in desperate need of some health boosting to my hair.
Repurchase: Yes

Fortune Cookie Soap Company That’s The Berries Body Frosting I don’t like the scent of this.
Hanalei Matte Bronzer this color just doesn’t really work for me its too light but also kind of orangey. Also I found the formula hard to blend.
Naturally Good For You Be Well Illuminating Facial Oil this was making my skin really congested.
Nyx Powder Puff Lippie in Prank Call this smears everywhere and I don’t like the color enough to deal with it.
Colourpop Cheekdew Serum Blush in Sour Cherry
Colourpop Cheekdew Serum Blush in Cherrish You I like the color of these but the formula just isn’t good. It splits very easily and the color is really hard to layer up which is a same the colors are pretty and dewy but it is so hard to work with.

Repurchase: No
Sunday Riley C.E.O. Afterglow Brightening Vitamin C Cream I really like this it was great smelled nice was nice on the skin.

Lancome Renergie H.P.N. 300 Peptide Cream this was fine its one use so can’t really say if it did anything.
Repurchase: No

Repurchase: No

Repurchase: No

Grace & Ivy Candle Co. Wax Melt in Maple Walnut this very sadly was awful not even one little bit of scent throw. What a shame.
Repurchase: No

HomeWorx Candle In Trick Or Treat this really did smell like trick or treating as a kid. Like leaves and fireplaces and assorted unidentifiable candy smell it was really nice.
Repurchase: Yes
Ashland Candle in 3 Wood Wick Cinnamon & Ginger this candle I have mixed feeling abouts it burned super-fast and have very little scent and it was expensive, but the wicks had the most amazing crackle and roar it really sounded like I had a mini fireplace going and I loved that.
Repurchase: Only when they are really discounted
Lip (1)
Holika Holika Golden Monkey Glamour Lip this was actually really nice. My lips have been so so chapped and while this didn’t magically fully resolve the problem it helped a lot.
Repurchase: Yes
Lotion (1)
Solar Flare Brazilian Caramel Dreams Body Butter this isn’t really a good dupe for the Bum Bum Cream but it was a really nice lotion it worked well it was cheap I would totally buy it again. The only thing was because it is in a jar the scent does fade from opening it and closing it over time and having it get exposed to air.
Repurchase: Yes
Bodycare (2)
Eos Cashmere Shave Oil in Pink Champagne this was fine I like the tree hut one more but this is a better price.
Repurchase: Maybe
Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub in Rainbow Sherbert this was good liked the scent it’s a good scrub.
Repurchase: Yes

Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Mysterious Red I used to love these pencils but I have just moved on to better more matte more long wearing formulas. These are very comfortable but that is not as important to me as staying power.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm I have tried a few times to like this but I hate it. It is sticky it doesn’t remove my makeup it stings if it gets in my eyes. I am done trying.
Urban Decay Lipstick in Red Hot this red is too pink for me.
Trader Joe’s Brazil Nut Body Wash this has no scent at all and doesn’t lather well.
Baked Beauty Body Butter in Winter Candy Apple this has a terrible texture it is so hard and hard to get out of the container and does not easily melt into the skin at all.
FCS Bummy Butter in Butter My Crumpet this is more for like irritate or chafed skin and this is just not something I really have a use for.
