Macy’s Beauty Box December 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 (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 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.


We got a huge full size Rituals Body wash in this bag which is worth the whole cost of the bag I took a picture of it but it seems to have disappeared and I already gave the body wash away so there is not picture for that sorry. But we’ll still talk about it don’t worry.

This month we got one of those sequin bags that you can pet and draw on that are very soothing.

Rituals The Ritual of Sakura Zensational Foaming Shower Gel

Full Size: 6.7 oz

Full Size Cost: $15

Sample Size: 6.7 oz

Value: $15

This comes out like a gel and then turns into a foam kinda like shaving cream. This one was in the cherry blossom scent which I am not a fan of much to floral for me but a really nice thing to get in a box.

Borghese Radiante Revitalize and Firm Mask

Full Size: 1.7 oz

Full Size Cost: $50

Sample Size: 0.5 oz

Value: $14.71

This is fancy af skincare. it has that fancy floral expensive scent as it is gold. So I shall see how it goes. I am not super into the idea of putting heavy metal on my skin I can’t see how that would be good for it.

Sunday Riley Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream

Full Size: 15 g

Full Size Cost: $22

I have so many of these and still haven’t gotten around to trying them I probably have a full giant size 50 ml tub of this at this point with all the samples I have of this. SMH ok goal try this in 2019 finally.

Mac In Extreme Dimension Lash Mascara

Full Size: 13 ml

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 2 g?

Value: $3.69

I don’t really like Mac mascaras anymore so this will be passed along. They always feel really stiff and dry and not a great look for my lashes. I have like one or two more Mac mascaras I need to get through and then no more.

Carolina Herrera Good Girl Legere Perfume

Full Size: 79 ml

Full Size Cost: $117

I don’t like the Good Girl Perfumes they just aren’t a scent I prefer.

Smashbox Always On Metallic Matte Liquid Lip in Maneater

This is such a beautiful red I love it. I love the formula on these as well they are so light on the lips but opaque and pretty I love them.


This box had alot of stuff that I was happy to give away and its Christmas time so all for the spirit of giving. I love the lipstick though even if they sent two red lipsticks in a row I love both of them.
