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.

Not my most favorite Macy’s box this month that’s for sure

Givenchy Irresistible Rose Velvet Perfume

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $87

Sample Size: 1 ml

Value: $2.90

I can’t use rose perfume so this is a no for me.

Clarins Lip Comfort Oil in 01 Honey

Full Size: 7 ml

Full Size Cost: $28

Sample Size: 1.4 ml

Value: $5.60

This has rose oil in it so I can’t use it but I am pretty sure I have tried these before and they are super sticky.

Smashbox Photo Finish Control Mattifying Primer

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $42

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $7

This primer is fine but it better under makeup and I have a few mini tubes of this more then I really need. I prefer primers I can wear on their own because I do like a light layer of primer sometimes even if I don’t want to wear foundation.

It Cosmetics Superhero Mascara in Waterproof

Full Size: 9 ml

Full Size Cost: $28

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $15.56

I hate waterproof mascara so this is also not for me. I don’t love Superhero mascara though I find it really dry and spikey.

Lancome Idole Ultra Precise Waterproof Liner

Full Size: 1 ml

Full Size Cost: $23

Sample Size: 0.6 ml

Value: $13.80

I have this liner in the full size and it is really black and really liquidy but also really hard to work with and really smeary if I am not careful.

Blotting Papers

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $4

These are unbranded blotting papers I just linked to the Nyx ones because they are affordable.

Mac Fix+ Stay Over Setting Spray

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $33

Sample Size: 13 ml

Value: $4.29

This is the only thing in the box that I am keeping but I really like Mac Fix plus so that is good. even though this box was a dud for me personally.

This is box was a Sunday Riley takeover. I really like the take over boxes and getting to use a whole line of products. I wished this had the C.E.O. Oil that is one of my favorite Sunday Riley products all the oils are really. .But I really love the C.E.O Line in general.

C.E.O. Afterglow Brightening Vitamin C Cream

Full Size: 50 g

Full Size Cost: $65

Sample Size: 8 g

Value: $10.40

I like this cream it has a really nice comforting orangey scent and I love this line I’m excited to get to use more then just a one time use sample.

Sunday Riley Auto Correct Brightening and Depuffing Eye Contour Cream

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $65

Sample Size: 3 ml

Value: $13

I have never tried this one I don’t usually like dark circle correcting eye creams the tone never works with my skin tone but I’m game to give it a go.

Sunday Riley A+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $122

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $12.20

This is a good retinoid and pretty strong for a retinoid verse a retinol.

C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $122

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $12.20

I like this serum I love things with Vitamin C not as much as the oil but if you don’t like oils this would be the next best thing for brightening.

Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $122

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $12.20

This is not my favorite lactic acid treatment out there and it is expensive for what it is. I have one or two little bottles to use but this one I will pass along.

Sunday Riley Eye Contour Tool

Full Size: 2 piece set

Full Size Cost: $7.99

Sample Size: 1 piece

Value: $4

I don’t care for this style of facial tool/eye cream applicator I feel like I am going to poke myself in the eye with it but it is really heavy and pretty, alot nice quality then alot of the other bonus items we get.

This was a really solid box it is a pretty my full night time facial routine and a really good val

The timing of these boxes is just so inconsistent.

Hair Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $7.99

This is an unbranded Wet Brush knock off. I don’t like these style of brushes so I won’t use it. I linked to a similar unbranded detangling brush.

La Perla Luminous Eau De Perfume

Full Size: 90 ml

Full Size Cost: $138

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $2.30

I have never heard of this perfume before but it is much to woody for me.

Rebecca Minkoff Blush Perfume

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $90

Sample Size: 2 ml

Value: $1.80

This is alot brighter of a perfume and I am much more interested in it then the other perfume. I like that it is a 2 ml sample as well because I will get two solid uses out if it rather then one good use and one skimpy use.

Buttah Tea Tree and Aloe Mask Scrub

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $2.40

I like the concept of this I am excited to use this. I also don’t go through physical scrubs fast so I like having smaller tubes sometimes because this is an achievable thing for me to use up quickly.

Eve Lom Foaming Cream Cleanser

Full Size: 120 ml

Full Size Cost: $60

Sample Size: 20 ml

Value: $10

I know this brand is crazy expensive I have never tried anything from this brand. I have a feeling I won’t like this I don’t usually like Foaming cleansers or cream cleansers.

Naturally Serious Skin Warrior Moisture Rescue Cream

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $35

Sample Size: 7.5 ml

Value: $5.25

Very basic looking moisturizer.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream

Full Size: 50

Full Size Cost: $138

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $13.80

I have definitely used this before and I don’t think it is worth the crazy price at all, but I will use it again.

Fekkai Apple Cider Detox Scrub Exfoliant

Full Size: 220 ml

Full Size Cost: $38

Sample Size: 60 ml

Value: $10.36

I love scalp scrubs so I am happy to have this.

Well this was an odd box a little big 2 perfumes 2 face moisturizers and 2 cleansers a little weird like why so many doubles. I like that this was mostly brand new items that we have never had before.
