Macy’s Beauty Box January 2022 Subscription Box Review

nightmareb4

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon (that used to it) 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.

New Year all skincare box that’s pretty standard though. I just love that even though Macy’s does do alot of repeats they also do alot of new different things also.

We also got a bag but its plasticky and a bit tacky.

Youth Haus 24k Gold Glow Eye Patches

Full Size: 1 pair

Full Size Cost: $7

These are very comfortable. They feel really nice I like them I don’t think I would spend $7 on them but I enjoyed using them.

Ahava Mineral Hand Cream

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 40 ml

Value: $9.60

I like this hand cream but I have a super weird relationship with it I swear every tube I get has a different fragrance and some are so floral that I hate them like this one and some are super oceany which I love. The cream itself is super great but the inconsistent scent is weird to me.

Clarins Total Eye Lift

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $89

Sample Size: 3 ml

Value: $17.80

I’ve used this before it is not my favorite eye cream it doesn’t really do much for me. So I will be passing it along. I haven’t ever seen any effects from it so I don’t care to use it when I can try new products.

Estee Lauder Beautiful Magnolia Perfume

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $128

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $1.92

Florals are not my thing so I will pass this along to my mom.

Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm

Full Size: 20 g

Full Size Cost: $14

I love to try new cleansing balms. This also smells really nice. I like the citrusy herbal scent that it has.

Barbor Hydra Plus Ampoules

Full Size: 7 x 2 ml (14 ml)

Full Size Cost: $29.95

See this is super cool I haven’t ever seen anything like this in a subscription and it isn’t something I feel like alot of people would buy to try. This is just like a hylaronic acid serum in little one time use capsules but its super cool I am excited to try it. I am not loving my current Hylaronic acid serum so I may pause and use this up first for the next week.

Sutra Beauty Mini Curling Iron

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $49.99

This is really cute! I also love that this perfectly matches a purple Sutra Mini Straightener we also got from Macys at some point can’t remember when. This feels alot lighter and cheaper in quality then the straightener did. But this is the kinda thing Most people wouldn’t buy for them selves and I love it. And it is great value.

INC International Concepts 4-Pc Sheer Scrunchie Set Created for Macy’s

Full Size: 4 pieces

Full Size Cost: $7.33

Sample Size: 2 pieces

Value: $3.67

I don’t love how these feel they are really weirdly tight but also slippy from the shiny tulle fabric. But it is still a nice addition.

Nyx Butter Gloss in Creme Brulee

Full Size: 8 ml

Full Size Cost: $5

Sample Size: 4.7 ml

Value: $2.94

This is a super super popular gloss so that is always a great thing to through in but this gloss is $5 why not just put in a full size. I don’t like this gloss is is very sticky.

Oh hello og of primers haven’t see you in a while. This is a fine blurring primer.

Tarte Tarteist Lash Paint Mascara

Full Size: 4.7 ml

Full Size Cost: $12

Sample Size: 2 ml

Value: $5.11

I don’t love this mascara it is very paint like and goopy. I will pass this along I prefer a drier thinner formula.

Belief The True Cream Aqua Bomb

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $38

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $7.60

I don’t find this as great as alot of people do it is a pretty generic meh moisturizer. But I will use it.

Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Value: $1.70

The Miss Diors are just too floral for me.

This month was a YSL takeover so everything was YSL in the box. We were supposed to get two little mini bottles of perfume but I had that little card again saying they had to replace something so I ended up with a second lipstick instead.

YSL Y EDP Cologne

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $125

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $1.50

Broken record here but I love that they include a men’s cologne and not just women’s fragrance. This smells pretty nice.

YSL Libre EDT Perfume

Full Size: 90 ml

Full Size Cost: $112

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $1.49

I usually don’t like the perfume samples that are scent but this has notes or orange blossom which I really like so I am game to give this one a go.

YSL Mon Paris EDP Perfume

Full Size: 90 ml

Full Size Cost: $128

Sample Size: 7.5 ml

Value: $10.67

This is such a classic staple scent and I have never tried it before so I am really excited to have this adorable little bottle to try out.

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Oil-in-Stick Hydrating Lipstick Balm

Full Size: 3.2 g

Full Size Cost: $38

Sample Size: 1 g?

Value: $11.88

Ii have definitely received this this product in this shade from Macy’s before. I hate that it doesn’t have the size or shade on this. I think it Rouge Tuxedo but I don’t really know. This is very slippy and very shiny not my preferred format of a lipstick but I have 2 now. Swatched Below.

YSL Rouge Pur Couture Satin Lipstick

Full Size: 3.8 g

Full Size Cost: $38

Sample Size: 1 g?

Value: $10

Another shiny lipstick this is more a traditional satin rather then glossy but still not my thing. This shows up alot pinker then I expected from the the tube.

YSL Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils Radical

Full Size: 7.5 ml

Full Size Cost: $29

Sample Size: 2 ml

Value: $7.73

Cool a mascara so exciting. it has a very standard straight brush with natural bristles. It doesn’t seem like it will be worth $29 dollars.

YSL Pure Shots Night Reboot Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $88

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $20.53

Super expensive anti aging serum this is what I am here for. This is probably my favorite thing in the bag this month.

Well I am happy with some of the things in this bag. I think I would have prefered just all little mini bottles of all their fragrances and got like a little scent library to try out Kinda like they did with the Jo Malone box but that is just my two scents.
