Macy’s Beauty Box December 2023

Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon 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.


These pictures came out terrible but I have a cold and am not trying to retake them at all.

Tarte Sex Kitten Eyeliner in Black

Full Size: 2 g

Full Size Cost: $22

This is nice that we got a full size I just really don’t like this eyeliner it wears off in 3 seconds and it is not like deep black like I like.

Too Face Lip Injection Maximum Plump

Full Size: 4 g

Full Size Cost: $33

Sample Size: 1.5 g

Value: $12.38

I just don’t really use lip plumpers and I definitely have recieved this so many times that I know I have one somewhere if I ever really wanted to use this. We see this same item pop up all the time like it is boring at this point.

Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara

Full Size: 10 ml

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 2 ml

Value: $6

This is a good mascara it just makes my eyes itchy so another thing that is going to get passes along and another Macy’s repeat, multiple times over.

YSL Touche Eclat Blur Primer

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $56

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $19.22

I want to say we have gotten this before and that I didn’t like it but I really can’t remember. This is like raved about but I feel like the gold glitter is just going to be not great when I try this.

Smashbox Photo Finish Primerizer

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $42

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $7

We see Smashbox primers all the time and 2 primers in one box is a bit annoying.

Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Frosting

Full Size: 5 g

Full Size Cost: $6

I love these they work really great they stay on well they come in a ton of colors these I highly recommend.

YSL Libre Perfume

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $95

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $3.80

I used this before I didn’t like it but I feel compelled to give it another shot.

YSL L’Homme Cologne

Full Size: 40 ml

Full Size Cost: $72

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $2.16

Always love when they include Men’s colognes and I can share them.

Iridescent Makeup Bag

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $1

This is a super tiny makeup bag that you could legit get at the dollar store.


When I first opened this I was kinda excite because there was alot and stuff and a full size item but really this box was unimpressive it is so many repeats like almost everything to be honest.

I love when they do a take over box I actually really like getting to try a bunch of products from the same range. I have actually used all of these products before.

Bumble and Bumble Comb

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $5.21

I used to have a comb like this that I would use in the shower when I was doing hair masks and it just disappeared into the abyss and I never replaced it and now I have a new one yay.

Bumble and Bumble Hairdressers Invisible Oil Shampoo

Full Size: 473 ml

Full Size Cost: $49

Sample Size: 7ml x2

Value: $1.45

Bumble and Bumble Hairdressers Invisible Oil Conditioner

Full Size: 473 ml

Full Size Cost: $51

Sample Size: 7ml x2

Value: $1.83

They could have at least included a full travel size set lets be real this is kinda ridiculous. I don’t like this shampoo and conditioner it is too heavy on my hair and leaves it feeling almost waxy but my hair is way to damage for this this better if you have more course unmanageable hair.

Bumble and Bumble Thickening Dry Spun Texture Spray

Full Size: 120 g

Full Size Cost: $36

Sample Size: 17 g

Value: $5.10

This is a really thickening Texture spray it adds alot of hold.

Bumble and Bumble Heat Shield Thermal Protection Mist

Full Size: 124 ml

Full Size Cost: $36

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $8.71

I find all heat protectants a little sticky and not my favorite thing to use this one is fine I’ve used it it isn’t my favorite I wouldnt buy it but if I have it I will use it.

Bumble and Bumble Bond Building Repair Treatment

Full Size: 125 ml

Full Size Cost: $37

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $8.88

I love this I use it it makes my hair feel better not as good as Olaplex but it think its cheaper and the process to use it isn’t so intense.

Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat/UV Protective Primer

Full Size: 125 ml

Full Size Cost: $22

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $5.28

I like the concept of this because a UV primer would be super useful for my dies hair but this is just to heavy and sticky for my hair in makes my hair gross.


Well not a terribly great value for this box I find that is usually the case with the take over boxes but I still prefer them from an experience point of view.

Tarte Travel Size Maracuja Juicy Lip Creme in Mauve

Full Size: 1.3 g

Full Size Cost: $13

This is creamy and a nice color I will give this a whirl for sure it didn’t seem to sticky but it seems kinda smeary so I will have to see how it wears. I think I might bring this on vacation with me. And if it sucks I can leave it behind and lighten my return load lol.

Cyro Facial Ice Mold

Full Size: Yes?

Full Size Cost: $3.99

I linked to a random one I found on amazon it is alot bigger but this seems like a fair price. I don’t know that I will I don’t love cold things and refrigerated rollers are already to cold for me but it might be good at making water bottle ice cubes we shall see.

Caudalie Vinopure Purifying Gel Cleanser

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $6

I don’t get on with Caudalie and they send a ton of it in these boxes I will pass this on but I’m sure its nice. I also have more than enough face wash.

BeautyStat Universal C Skin Refiner

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Full Size: 0.14 oz

Full Size Cost: $29

Sample Size: 0.05 oz

I have tried this product so many times over. Its like a classic I think we get on a year. I am not super into lip plumpers or glosses they hurt and are sticky.

Full Size Cost: $26
