Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month you will get a bag, We used to get $5 off any beauty purchase then it became a coupon off a purchase amount and now we don’t even always get that, 5 deluxe samples and 1 bonus sample. Why not just say 6? I don’t get it. You never really know how many items are going to come its always different.

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.

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $54

Sample Size: 7.5 ml

I love this moisturizer it is so light and comfortable on the skin and hydrating but it has no actives or real effects so I can’t justify the cost.

I don’t really get on with Clarins products I just don’t find them to be effective for me. Eye cream is expensive though and I am really running low so its always nice to have back ups.

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.

I love the Walmart Box so much. The spring box was probably the worst one I have ever received this one is already better.

Monday Deep Moisture Hair Mask

This is not going to be enough hair mask for me and this is a pretty cheap mask they really could have included a full size they have included full size items that cost way more then this before.
