Macy’s Beauty Box February 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.

I love that they focused on black owned brands this month and products you would normally never see in a box unless you specifically sought them out.

Urban Hydration Lemon & Berries Micellar Cleansing Water

Full Size: 500 ml

Full Size Cost: $14.99

I don’t really use micellar waters but this is a pretty cool thing to get if you are some one who uses them because this is huge and will last a while. The vibes of this look like a juice you would drink and that makes me want to use it.

Lovinah Blue Butterfly Stem Cell Deep Hydration Mask

Full Size: 2 oz

Full Size Cost: $85

Sample Size: 0.5 oz

Value: $21.25

This sounds super interesting it is supposed to be for all skin types with marine extracts and stem cells and such for skin repair. It is also super freaking blue like omg.

Shea Yeleen Rich Shea Body Cream in Coconut Melon

Full Size: 3.4 oz

Full Size Cost: $20

Sample Size: 0.5 oz

Value: $2.94

They really could have given us a bigger size of this it is a body lotion but this is barely enough for one leg like what. I love coconut scented things but melon scented this not so much so this is gona be a gamble for me.

Rucker Roots GTC Curl Cream

Full Size: 8 oz

Full Size Cost: $14.99

Sample Size: 0.75 oz

Value: $1.41

First I was like wow this is cool you never get stuff like this that is appropriate for curly hair and then I saw the size and price of the full size and not even giving us an ounce or two of this is kinda ridiculous.

buttah AHA BHA Rosewater Toner

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $19

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $2.85

This is an awesome product I would love to be able to try it but with the rose water I can’t but I will pass this on and it will be used up and loved quickly. this is the perfect kinda of exfoliating but gentle toner.

At first I was really excited about this box but after going through the prices this feels like a slap in the face and kind of condescending Macy’s always has such a great value and mostly full sizes but why could they not bring that same energy to this box?

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.

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $38

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

Sample Size: 1 ml

Value: $1.70

The Miss Diors are just too floral for me.

This is a super popular mens cologne and it smells really good.
