What is it: So Macy’s has hopped on the subscription box bandwagon and this is their first box. Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon (sometimes $10), 5 deluxe samples and 1 bonus sample. Why not just say 6? I don’t get it.
All the brands will be brands you can find in Macy’s which is cool they sell Mac and a lot of other brands that are never to rarely in subscription boxes.
The cool thing about the coupon is that it is good in stores and online (beauty ships free at Macy’s) also Macy’s does have sales and $5 dollar products so if you are strategic you can score a free product every month. Depending on your state you may still have to pay tax but that is still basically free.
This was a really interesting product selection this month. I am so pleased with this month even though I don’t like or want alot of these products I really liked the interesting and thoughtful curation this month everything felt really themed to the work out theme but all interesting items that you don’t always get.
The bag this month is a large like shoe bag if anyone knows what those are they are a one pull drawstring bag usually for packing shoes but you could put a whole gym outfit in here it is definitely big enough. In high school my best friend and I always used to say this that we don’t sweat we sparkle so I am going to give this to her I think it will be cute for her gym bag or something.
Even a bonus “bonus” sample this month Macy’s is killing it.
Full Size: 12 Sheets

I really like single use shower/refreshing clothes I love them for travel and for keeping in my car stuff like that. I got from one place to another all the time and don’t always have time to go home and freshen up and these are perfect for that. $1.25 a sheet isn’t to bad either if these end up being good. The are also supposed to be pretty large like 10 in by 12 in. So this is a win for me.
Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant
Full Size: 1.7 oz
Full Size Cost: $27
Sample Size: 1 oz
Value: $15.88
Who is buying a $27 dollar deodorant? I would love to know what your life is like. I was initially excited because I mean for real who is ever using or trying these fancy deodorants. But this smells so awful. It is that really strong like really strong I can smell it with the cap closed baby powder old floral perfume smell I just can’t. Love the concept just not the scent.
Dr. Bronner’s 18 in 1 Hemp Peppermint Pure Castile Soap
Full Size: 59 ml (travel size)
Full Size Cost: $3.19
Sample Size: 59 ml
Value: $3.19
This is supposed to be a do it all soap. Wash brushes, skin, hair, your floor, your clothes anything. I will probably only use it to wash my brushes I am not that brave. I do like other Castile soap i have tried so this should be great and it smells really good and pepperminty. I don’t love the crazy over the top religious messaging on the label. I find that really weird that it got included in the box seeing as how polarizing that could be I mean the font is damn tiny and no one probably bothers to read it but it rubbed me the wrong way. I personally feel that serious or controversial topics should be separate from the fun fluffy world of makeup and beauty but thats just me. Boxes and all this are my safe happy reprieve from that stuff so I don’t like it being thrust on me.
Full Size: 30 ml
Full Size Cost: $105

This is like a cult holy grail favorite product of so many people so I am excited to try it. My skin can be a little iffy with lactic acid and its not been behaving the best right now so I am waiting until my skin is a little less irritated to try this so I can see if it works rather than just irritate my skin more.
Clinique Chubby Stick in 07 Super Strawberry
Full Size: 2.8 g
Full Size Cost: $17.50
Sample Size: 1.2 g
Value: $7.50
So good choice for an easy lip product to throw on after the gym. I am not swatching this because I owned and decluttered this so I rather pass this on as well. This is a very strawberry pink tinted balm basically they feel really nice on I just rarely use products like this so I let it go and won’t keep this either. I almost took it as a sign that I should keep it since it came back to me but I came to my senses.
Full Size: 38 ml
Full Size Cost: $62
Sample Size: 1.2 ml

This smells very different but good. It is super strong though like this little vial is probably going to be good for like 5+ uses rather then the 2 I normally get out of these things. It is scented like heavy fruit like lychee and plum so it is a more fall winter type scent which is good for the seasons we are now unfortunately moving into.
Full Size: 100 ml
Full Size Cost: $90
Sample Size: 2 ml
Value: $1.80
As a bonus this month we got a mens cologne. It is a very strong heavy manly scent. My gf loves it though and I always get really excited when I get something I can share with her so this was a nice happy little bonus.
I was really please and happy with the curation and products this month I thought this was a super awesome box. I am sorry for the lateness of this review but it couldn’t be helped. This is a very hit or miss subscription the boxes are either really really good or really shit this was a good month.
