I was super resistant to getting this box for a long time but honestly it is really great. It there is always at least one higher priced item I want for myself and really awesome gitfting options. I have used this almost as a curating service and used it to pick out gifts for family and friends and get them at a great deal.

Tula Brightening Treatment Drops

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $56

This one thing already covers more then the cost of the box. I really like Tula skincare but it it so pricey I wouldn’t buy it on my own. So this is a pretty awesome thing to get to have and I love Vitamin C.

Vince Camuto Blue Ombre CZ Necklace

Full Size Cost: $68

Now is the price for this full over inflated totally but that’s designer brands for you. This I fully picked out thinking this will be a great Mother’s Day present for my mom. Something more then I would normally want to spend but I only paid essentially $9 for it and I don’t have to think about presents in May so double win.

BaubleBar Build Your Own Bracelet Kit

Full Size Cost: $16?

So there is alot to unpack here so just try to bear with me on this objectively odd and not worth it choice. So this is actually something that was featured in a box like 2 years ago and it was “valued” at $68 which is a joke these are plastic beads and string this is a child’s camp activity. I typically would not have picked an item like this I don’t even feel like it is worth the $9 I paid for it. But I have a younger cousin and she is really into making bracelets right now so I figure this would be super cute and fun and feel “fancy” to her. There wasn’t anything else in the category of this customization that was speaking to me either so even though it wasn’t a great or high value choice it kinda fit my needs. I am estimating it at $16 because that is what people were able to resell this at on eBay and Poshmark.

Skin Inc Cryo-Ice Sake Roller

Full Size Cost: $48

I like ice rollers they really help my sinuses so I was down to try a different fancy one.

Lumina NRG 3 in 1 Eye Lift

Full Size Cost: $159

Was I really going to pass on a $159 anti-aging tool. No I wasn’t. This warms up and vibrates to massage in eye cream and apparently reduce wrinkles. We’ll see but I was obviously choosing this it is the star of the box. The warm feels nice on the face either way and I will definitely get use out of the warm around my sinuses when I’m having headaches and sinus troubles if nothing else.

Summer & Rose Outdoor Roundie

Full Size Cost: $25

I don’t know why I wanted this round towel but I did. It is cute and it is big but those are about the only things going to it it is really thin and not soft so so it can’t be a blanket and it can’t be like a picnic ground cover. So its only hope is if it dries water well and sand brushes off easy but it is far to cold to test that right now. This has big potential to end up as a dog blanket.


Value: $372

Clearly the value is here. I just find this top be very practical of a box I get stuff for me I get stuff for gifts with out the hassle of picking it out and shopping and all that.

Macy’s Beauty Box January 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.


First box of the year not really that impressive at all.

Makeup Bag

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $1.25

This is literally something you can get at the Dollar Tree. I was even nice in my value and upped it to the new $1.25 price of the dollar tree but this is stiff and cheap quality.

Origins Ginzing Refreshing Eye Cream

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $37

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $12.33

I really don’t like this eye cream at all it is reflective and i don’t care for how it feels and my gf who isn’t too picky doesn’t really care for it either.

YSL L’Homme EDT

Full Size: 60 ml

Full Size Cost: $80

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $1.60

I don’t think I like this one but I like that they give a cologne and a perfume.

Naturally Serious Lemonaid Makeup Removing Cleansing Gel

Full Size: 120 ml

Full Size Cost: $19

Sample Size: 7.5 ml

Value: $1.19

This actually sounds like it would be really irritating I don’t know why anyone would want a lemon/acidic makeup remove. This would definitely be irritating to the eyes and if a makeup remover can’t remove my eye makeup it is pretty useless to me.

Lancome Renergie Lift Multi-Action Ultra SPF 30

Full Size: 2.5 oz

Full Size Cost: $163

Sample Size: 0.17 oz

Value: $11.08

I have used this before it is nice enough I don’t know that it is worth the $163 price this feels really basic.

Dr. Brandt Hyaluronic Facial Cream

Full Size: 50 g

Full Size Cost: $72

Sample Size: 7.5g

Value: $10.80

This will be nice I like hylauronic acid creams I find alot of them to be quite sticky so I will have to see if this one ends up being sticky.

Youth Haus Golden Glow Gold Face Mask

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $8.50

A fancy two piece mask I don’t find these to ever really fit me that well they are too big but cool the only full size thing in this box.

YSL Black Opium EDP

Full Size: 90 ml

Full Size Cost: $139

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $1.85


Really not a good box and last month wasn’t either I may end up canceling soon if it keeps going this way all the subscription boxes have really been going down hill the last year or two.

Walmart Winter 2023 Beauty Box Subscription Box Review

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.


Alright Walmart box one of my favorites let’s see what you have for me this season.

Liquid IV in Watermelon and Tangerine

Full Size: 6 sticks

Full Size Cost: $9.98

Sample Size: 2 stick

Total Value: $3.33

At least we are getting a new flavor this time but we have gotten this in like every box for the last year and a half lol. I don’t really like Liquid IV i find them too sweet but they are good in a pinch if I don’t have anything else and need electrolytes.

Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream

Full Size: 453 g

Full Size Cost: $14.12

Sample Size: 14 g

Total Value: $0.44

I thought this was face cream at first but it a tiny tube of body lotion. It feels fine it isn’t anything special.

Cetaphil Healing Ointment

Full Size: 85 g

Full Size Cost: $9.97

Sample Size: 10 g

Total Value: $1.17

I love Aquaphor and this is kinda like that so it’ll be cool to try a different type. I always have to have a skin protectant ointment on hang it just has so many uses.

Covergirl Simply Ageless Lash Plumping Mascara in 105 Black

Full Size: 12 ml

Full Size Cost: $9.97

I am actually pretty excited to try this I really like the GrandeLash Mascara and I kinda hope this is a dupe to that because this is way cheaper. It has the growth serum stuff in it and I have been super slacking on using my growth serum its been months so I need to get back on that.

Hask Argan Oil Repairing Deep Conditioner

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $2.19

I really like these masks so I will never be sad to get one in a box.

Rael Beauty Miracle Patch

Full Size: 24 patches

Full Size Cost: $6.19

I love these and I am not too picky about the brand so happy to have more to use and not have to actually buy them.


I just love the Walmart box it is just such a good value.
