Macy’s Beauty Box April 2019 Subscription Box Review

Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon (sometimes $10), 5 deluxe samples and 1 bonus sample. Why not just say 6? I don’t get it.

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 in subscription boxes.

The cool thing about the coupon is that it is good in stores and online (beauty ships free at Macy’s) also Macy’s does have sales and $5 products so if you are strategic you can score a free product every month. Depending on your state you may still have to pay tax but it is still basically free.


So this month I got a little slip in my box that said OOPS! that they had to substitute one of my items. So the Winky Lux Gloss got subbed out for a Koh Gen Do Spa Water and I was so excited because I would have just given the Winky Lux gloss away but I’ve heard good things about Koh Gen Do and am thrilled to get a chance to try something out.

I also weirdly like this weird bag covered in eyes.

Grande Cosmetics Grande Mascara

Full Size: 6 g

Full Size Cost: $25

Sample Size: 2.5 g

Value: $10.42

Excited for this it is supposed to boost your lashes and make them healthier. I also love that the little tube is clear so I’ll actually be able to see what is going on in the mascara tube and I’ve always been curious.

Givenchy L’Interdit Perfume

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $91

Sample Size: 1 ml

Value: $1.82

I love Givenchy perfumes I know that is super bougie but they all smell so good and expensive without being so overpowering or like old smelling like alot of expensive perfumes do to me. I have a very picky perfume scent palette. This is floral but not in a flowery way I know that makes no sense.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $89.00

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $44.50

Umm this cream better be fucking magical at that price point…. That is all I have to say. I know Elemis is pricey but damn.

Perricone MD Cold Plasma Plus+ Neck & Chest Broad Spectrum 25

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $89

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $14.83

Another super pricey brand I don’t know that I have much need for a Neck and Chest cream I am probably going to just use this as a sunscreen to be honest

Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water

Full Size: 300 ml

Full Size Cost: $46

Sample Size: 40 ml

Value: $6.13

This is wrapped so well that I don’t want to unwrap it because I know it won’t spill when I bring it on a plane next month. I have seen good reviews from KathleenLights on there wipes so I am excited to try the water.

Real Her Moisturizing Lipstick in No Filter

Full Size: 3.5 g

Full Size Cost: $18

Sample Size: 3.5 g

Value: $18

This is a blush nude color but it looks like pinky concealer dead lips on my so no. Also I don’t love that very classic creamy glossy type of lipstick feel this is a no for me. I also thought it was super weird that the bottom of the lipstick describes it as a deep nude it is no where near a deep nude.


Lot of really expensive skincare this month! And surprisingly the substituted product really works out better for me.
