Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

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, 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 is probably the most interesting bag they have ever put together kinda feel like they have actually been listening to the reviews people have given of this bag. I also really like this plastic pool bag type bag it isn’t fully sealed so it can’t be a dry bag but I still think it is really cute.

Friyay!

Marc Jacobs Daisy Love Perfume

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $84

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $2.02

I don’t love floral perfumes like this so it is a pass for me but it is cute.

Vita Liberata Body Blur HD Skin Finish in Latte

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $45

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $4.50

This is a face and body self tanner I think. I can’t really figure out what this is supposed to be it has a very vague description it is a BB cream self tanner for face and body and I don’t know. This is way to dark for me and I do not like the fake tanner type look but my mom loves it so I’m sure she will love this.

Coola Classic Sunscreen in Fresh Mango

Full Size: 148 ml

Full Size Cost: $32

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $2.16

So this is SPF 50 I am pretty excited to try this I never use sunscreen because I usually have pretty bad reactions to them and I get broken out or I get like actual rashes. I have also never had a sunburn so I am not active about trying new sunscreens but I know I should be trying. Being scented I am pretty worried but I will try it out next time I am planning to be in the sun.

Smashbox Super Fan Mascara

Full Size: 10 ml

Full Size Cost: $19

Sample Size: 3 ml?

Value: $5.70

There is no size listed on this and it is smaller then a normal travel size so I’m guessing the size. This has a really slim brush that is kinda oval shaped which is odd.

Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Rapid Flash Brightening Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $14.17

Their products are always so pricey so I will definitely give this as much of a test as I can to see if it works to brighten my skin at all. It is supposed to work fast.

Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $52

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $10.40

I have wanted to try some of the mask from this line for awhile so it is pretty cool to get a cucumber mask in a summer themed bag.

I like how this felt like a very cohesive bag and everything felt appropriate and relevant for a summery pool type vibe. I am really pleased with the curation of this bag even if every item wasn’t for me.

This was actually a good month too bad I’m allergic to alot of what was included this month and I can’t use alot of it.

Schmidt’s Rose + Vanilla Natural Deodorant

Full Size: 75 g

Full Size Cost: $4.99

Sample Size: 19.8 g

Value: $1.32

So I can’t use this because of the roses but I have used Schmidt’s before and they are a decent natural deodorant brand. You can also always pick them up pretty cheap at like Marshalls and TJ Maxx type places. You can also get these little travel size ones to test them out there for a dollar or two.

Origins Ginzing Refreshing Eye Cream

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $31

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $10.33

I like the packaging on the sample better then the full size. I rather have a squeezey tube then a jar.  I like Orgins products so pretty happy about this one.

Coola Mineral BB Cream

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $36

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $3.60

So this isn’t really a BB Cream this is just a tinted sunscreen. I have heard a mixed reviews on Coola products so I don’t know when or if I will get around to this. I don’t do well with sunscreen so I don’t know.

Korres Wild Rose Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial

Full Size: 40 ml

Full Size Cost: $48

Sample Size: 20 ml

Value: $24

Another product I can’t use due to roses. I will have to pass this on, but I like the idea of a brightening sleeping mask.

Tony Moly Skin Purifying I’m Real Sheet Mask

Full Size: 1 mask

Full Size Cost: $3.00

Sample Size: 1 mask

Value: $3.00

I love Tony Moly Masks They always feel like they are actually working something alot of sheet masks lack.  You can find these cheaper and on sale sometimes.

Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue

Full Size: 1.18 oz

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 4 shades

Value: $?

Instead of a perfume this month we have gotten a little foundation sampler. I actually appreciate these because I like to know if I like the formula of a foundation before I buy it because I am really picky with foundation. I don’t really know how to value this one since most of it won’t work for any one person.

This might be my favorite Macy’s month so far despite the fact that I can’t use 2 of the products in the bag.
