Macy’s Beauty Box August 2018 Subscription Box Review

Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: So Macy’s has hopped on the subscription box bandwagon and this is their first box. Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon, 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 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 dollar 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 that is still basically free.


Really got this (and all my boxes still waiting on a few of them) really late this month. I also thought I was really going to like this bag when I saw it because it is a see through shiny material but it is so stiff and small and hard to open that it really sucks.

August Macy's Beauty Box Juicy Couture Origins TonyMoly IT Cosmetics Lancome Urban Decay

Lancome L’Absolu Lacquer in 378 Be Unique

Full Size: 8 ml

Full Size Cost: $26

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $4.88

Lancome L'Absolu Lacquer

This is such a tiny sample. And so crazy bright pink I don’t like pink lipsticks or like sticky glossy lacquer type lip products at all so this is a no go for me. It is much brighter in person then in the swatch.

TonyMoly Master Lab Intensive Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Sheet Mask

Full Size: 1 mask

Full Size Cost: $4

Sample Size: 1 mask

Value: $4

TonyMoly Hyaluronic Acid Sheet Mask

This was the thinnest and smallest face mask I have ever used. At first I was skeptical but those qualities made it fit my face so much better then any other sheet mask I have ever tried. It made my skin feel firm and but a little sticky and tacky so I don’t know that I love it but I don’t hate it either.

Urban Decay All-Nighter Setting Spray

Full Size: 4 oz

Full Size Cost: $32

Sample Size: 0.5 oz

Value: $4

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray

$4 seems to be a real theme for this box here doesn’t it?  This is the OG of setting sprays I have now 3 or 4 samples sizes which is kinda cool because I have almost a full size amount with all my samples lol. This is a great setting pray it doesn’t make my face feel sticky which I love.

Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Honey Mask

Full Size: 2.5 oz

Full Size Cost: $34

Sample Size: 0.5 oz

Value: $6.80

Origins Clear Improvement

I love charcoal masks and I love honey masks so I am very excited for this mask. I think this is supposed to be a new version of their regular charcoal mask that I like but I am not crazy about so this should be cool to try.

It Cosmetics Confidence in an Eye Cream

Full Size: 60 ml

Full Size Cost: $48

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $4

It Cosmetics Confidence in an Eye Cream

Another eye cream not that special but I hate the packaging on this it is like twice as large as it needs to be so this like not even a tiny sample I would want to travel with because it is super bulky.

Juicy Couture Oui Perfume

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $105

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $5.25

Juicy Couture Oui Perfume

I actually saw and bought this perfume a few days before I got this month’s box so it is safe to say that I love this sample. I love all the Juicy Couture perfumes this one is really pretty but not in a girly florally way. I love it.


Very low value this month. I really liked getting the masks and the setting spray but it wasn’t as good as the previous months have been at all. This is such a hit or miss subscription.
