Macy’s Beauty Box

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.

This came super late like last day of August late. Also really not overly pleased with this months box.

Blush Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $1

This is legit something you could pick up at dollar tree. Like no I refuse to be impressed about this item. Its not even soft.

Chella Mini La Vie Neutral Eyeshadow Palette

Full Size: 4 g

Full Size Cost: $20

I won’t swatch this because I won’t use this but this is a great inclusion it it a cute little travel palette you can get a whole look from it. Some one will be really happy when They get this.

Bodyography Eye Pencil in Bali Bronze

Full Size: 1.1 g

Full Size Cost: $11

Not a terribly unique color to get in a box but it is smooth and pretty and I will use it and it is full size so it is not the worst thing that could be included in this box and it does give fall vibes.

Origins Ginzing Brightening Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $44

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $7.33

I don’t typically love things from this line so I am going to give it to my girlfriend and let her use it up.

Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara

Full Size: 0.33 oz

Full Size Cost: $27

Sample Size: 20.06 oz

Value: $4.91

I don’t really like this mascara it is heavy and makes my eyes itch. I really hate that they couldn’t even give us a full travel size like why. It has to cost more money to produce this smaller size then to just make more travel size ones. you know economy of scale and all that.

Dior Forever Foundation Card

I refuse to give this a value. This is a free sample like absolutely not should this be a thing you are considering an actual item.

Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Cologne

Full Size: 4.2 oz

Full Size Cost: $105

Sample Size: 0.05 oz

Value: $1.25

This is a pretty old cologne so that’s a bit of a bummer.

Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Perfume

Full Size: 3.4 oz

Full Size Cost: $122

Sample Size: 0.05 oz

Value: $1.79

I didn’t know that this brand made women’s perfume so that is pretty cool to try.

Really just not happy with this box this month it was super late the items kinda suck like just not great.

Interesting box this month since we got 4 fragrance samples which are usually the most inexpensive samples to include but let’s get into it.

Color Changing Iced Coffee Cup

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $5

This actually feels like pretty decent quality and I use these like crazy to this is great for me and seasonally appropriate for July.

Skylar Vanilla Sky Perfume

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $2.55

Skylar Coconut Cove Perfume

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $2.55

I have wanted to try this brand the scents all sound so good and the aesthetic is fantastic and dreamy. These are very sweet and warm which is a vice I really like even though it isn’t quite my summer profile these I know are two really popular ones so it would make sense for these to be the ones to include.

Versace Eros Parfum

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $72

Sample Size: 1 ml

Value: $0.72

This is a really nice cologne. It smells very summery but also very intense at the same time.

Versace Bright Crystal Perfume

Full Size: 90 ml

Full Size Cost: $99

Sample Size: 1 ml

Value: $1.10

This is exactly as it is described really bright and kinda crystal fancy.

Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator in Diamond Dust

Full Size: 10 g

Full Size Cost: $26

I don’t know where the swatch photo went but it is pretty it is a white highlight with purple shift very pretty and kind of unexpected both for a subscription box and this brand. It isn’t as in your face as alot of other colored highlighters can be.

Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Moisturizer SPF 45

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $55

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $5.50

I have wanted to try this for since it came out as well so another thing I am pretty excited about everything from this line is super gel like and I really like that.

Tony Moly Watermelon Dew All Over Serum

Full Size: 120 ml

Full Size Cost: $15

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $1.88

I love watermelon based skincare but I find Tony Moly to be pretty beginner. I’ll use it but I don’t expect anything fantastic.

Sun Bum Mineral Sunscreen Lip Balm SPF 30

Full Size: 4.25 g

Full Size Cost: $3.99

I don’t like the lip balms from this brand they all taste like sunscreen and it doesn’t fade so they are pretty unpleasant.

I am really happy this month I will use and enjoy most of these products and it is alot of things I really wanted to try so that is pretty awesome.

A very Late Macy’s that is so rare it is usually the first box that turns up every month.

Nyx Jumbo Stick in Sherbert

Full Size: 5 g

Full Size Cost: $5.50

This comes off really light I thought it would be brighter pink with how it looks. I’m sure I will find some use for this these are fine alot of people use them as bases as eyeliner it is a really popular product and it is nice to get it in a newer shade and not the standard Milk shade that has been around since it was created.

Perfectly Polished Nail Wrap Set

Full Size: 48 wraps

Full Size Cost: $15

Sample Size: 16 wraps

Value: $5

These are really cute very retro. I have never really played with nail wraps because I have no nails. But I want to try these let’s see if I manage to accomplish that.

The Beauty Crop Watermelon Brightening Eye Mask

Full Size: 1 pair

Full Size Cost: $6

This is a win for me I know I have tried eye masks from this brand in the past that I have enjoyed and I love watermelon skincare so this is great.

Klorane Dry Shampoo

Full Size: 31 g

Full Size Cost: $10

I really dislike this dry shampoo and it is not safe for color treated hair.

Mineral Fusion Nail Polish in Fast ‘n’ Fabulous

Full Size: 0.33 oz

Full Size Cost: $9.99

This is a really pretty color for summer a nice bright corally red but we got one of of these once before and it was the worst formula of nail polish I have ever tried. That I won’t even give this a shot.

Mugler Angel Nova Perfume

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $135

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $1.62

Mugler Angel Perfume

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $180

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $2.16

I don’t like the Mugler Perfumes at all so these will also get passed on.

Buxom Full-On Plumping Lip Cream in White Russian

Full Size: 4.45 ml

Full Size Cost: $23

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $7.75

These are great glosses I just don’t like glosses. So this will also get passed along.

So 5 of the 8 items were not for me so that isn’t great that’s 63% of the box that won’t work for me.
