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.

Heavy skincare box this month. Mostly made up of things I unfortunately have tried and not really enjoyed.

Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $114

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $22.80

I don’t think this serum really does anything but I know it is well loved.

Perricone MD Firming and Brightening Eye Cream

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $75

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $25

I have used this eye cream for a while one time and I didn’t find it to firm or brighten and it is expensive compared to eye creams I really do like and find effective. Perricone kinda never seems to work that well for me.

First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser

Full Size: 142 g

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 28.3 g

Value: $4.78

This is a creamy kinda cleanser not really my favorite it is gentle but that isn’t something I am usually looking for so this just isn’t the face wash for me but if you have really sensitive or dry or irritated skin this is probably perfect for you.

Foldable Tote Bag

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $2.88

This is really nice. Its pretty big feels pretty sturdy and it folds up very useful.

Origins Checks and Balances Milky Oil Cleanser

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $31

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $3.10

I love trying new oil makeup removers so I am super excited for this. I don’t like the original foamy check and balances wash but I have high hopes for this.

Sunday Riley B3 Nice 10% Niacinamide Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $65

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $10.83

I absolutely love niacinamide serums and I love Sunday Riley so this is great for me to get.

Walmart Beauty Box

Cost: $6.98

Cycle: Every Quarter/Season

What is it: Every season Walmart sends a little sample products of all sorts of health and beauty type items. It used to be a free sample box with $5 shipping. But they have now changed it to a $6.98 box with free shipping with the promise of better and more full size items.

Love my Walmart box I always get excited when it shows up.

Dove Dry Spray in Cool Essentials

Full Size: 28 g

Full Size Cost: $2.59

This is one of my preferred travel deodorants so I am pumped to get it because why are travel sized deodorants so damn expensive. This is cooling when it goes on and smells really refreshing and clean.

Garnier Whole Blends Honey Treasures Restoring Solid Shampoo Bar

Full Size: 60 g

Full Size Cost: $7.99

Personally I do not like solid shampoo bars I find the mechanical suds action of them to be really harsh on my hair and even though this says its for my hair type I am just too nervous to use it. The scent of this is so strong like i can smell it two feet away from me. It is very honey but also a little floral.

No7 Future Renew Damage Reversal Day Cream SPF 25

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $25.98

Sample Size: 5 ml

Total Value: $2.60

I like No7 ok an always nice to have a face sunscreen.

Vitamasques Acai Berry Sheet Mask

Full Size: 1 Mask

Full Size Cost: $3.00

Yay another sheet mask I have so many I really need to force myself to use one a week I just have to.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Cream

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $22.97

Sample Size: 3 ml

Total Value: $1.38

I love this Moisturizer but it doen’t have any active properties so I never buy it but I will immediately use this up this week. It is so light and feels so nice. I have loved everything I have tried from this line.

Fantastic box for me 3 full size items and only one thing I personally won’t use. Can’t beat that at all for less then $7 dollars.

FabFitFun Box Spring 2024

nightmareb4

FabFitFun Box

Cost: $54.99 a Season Annual/$59.99 Seasonal

Cycle: Every Season/4x a year

What is it: Every season FabFitFun sends 6 to 8 items valued at $300+. Annual members get to customize their entire box as well as the option to swap out for credit to shop with instead of getting a box. Annual members also get add-ons and faster shipping and earlier access to customizations.

Seasonal Members get to pick 4 of their items as well as the option to swap out their box for credit to shop with as well.

I really didn’t care for any of the choices again this season which is a bit disappointing. The value is still here for sure but like it is getting boring.

Adina Eden Pavé Safety Pin Paperclip Bracelet

Full Size Cost: $48

This is way daintier and thinner then I was expecting. I grabbed this as a christmas present. I don’t wear jewelry like this.

Robe Curls The Original Curling Headband

Full Size Cost: $27.99

I have wanted to try this for awhile but not enough to spend the money on it. So this is a good chance to try it the next time I wash my hair I will be trying this. I like that it comes with the silk scrunchies I don’t know if they will work or if I will need to use regular hair bands but I love silk scrunchies and these are thin which is also nice.

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo

Full Size: 156 g

Full Size Cost: $30

Size: 112 g

Value: $21.54

This is a good dry shampoo I like it and i never have a back stock so that was why I chose it but I have a big problem with this. One there is gunk on this which I could look past. BUT this is an old can They don’t sell the 4oz size any more so this has been sitting around for a long time. Which really isn’t cool.

Korres Renewing Body Cleanser in Santorini Grape

Full Size: 250 ml

Full Size Cost: $19

Cool a body wash not that exciting I haven’t liked any of the bodywashes I have tried from FabFitFun but I shall see how this is.

Yield Millenium Glasses – Pack of 4

Full Size Cost: $60

I find glasses like this too easy to knock over but they are super pretty and I have the perfect person in mind to gift them to. The seem really nice quality.

Beyond Yoga Convertible Gym Bag

Full Size Cost: $80

This is a cool bag it switches instantly from backpack to shoulder back its a good size has pockets and a separate bottom piece for shoes. I really like this and am glad I grabbed it for myself.

Overall it wasn’t a bad box I got gifts I got things I can use or wanted to try. I just wasn’t excited about the choices of items.

Value: $256.53
