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 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.
Who’s not ready for it to be 2020? Me!!! So Macy’s sent a really gross feeling glittery bag this month. Its that kind where you can feel the glitter and it is all hard and scratchy. I don’t like.
Makeup Drop Original Silicone Beauty Applicator in Glitz
Full Size: 1 Blender
Full Size Cost: $20
Sample Size: 1 Blender
Value: $20
This is one of those weird silicone gel blenders. I don’t like these I think they just smear makeup around rather then blending anything in. This one is cute with some glitter in side it. But I will be passing it on because this is just not a great way to apply makeup.
Paco Rabanne Invictus Legend Cologne

I love that they send men’s cologne and this is a nice smelling one. My gf really likes it and I like having little bits to share from boxes.

This is a really smooth gold highlighter with alot of shimmer in it. This is alot more intense than I would have expected from Pur which I usally think of as a pretty plain tame brand. Swatched below.
Grande Cosmetics Grande Lips Hydrating Lip Plumper Gloss in Midnight Shimmer
Full Size: 2.4 g
Full Size Cost: $27
Sample Size: 2.4 g
Value: $27
This color really photographs badly it looks pretty and rich and sparkely in person but the pictures make it look like a weird brown. This is not a sticky gloss which I appreciate but it is also not the kind of product I use but I plan to keep this because it is so different then anything else I have. The listed color was different than the one I received so I guess I got a substitution. This is also a pain in the ass because you have to click it up so many times. There is a definite tingle when I applied it but I don’t think it plumped. It was just shiny and thick. Swatched Below.
Girlactick 3-in-1 Lip Sparkle Balm in Twinkle
Full Size: 2.8 g
Full Size Cost: $17
Sample Size: 2.8 g
Value: $17
Always seems to me such a cheap brand gimicky brand and then every time I see the prices I am shocked at how expensive they are. This is such a weird product that seems more fitted for a kid then an adult. This is a glittery lip balm that is super glittery and frosty on the lips. It is comfortable and you can’t feel the glitter but it is just such a weird product I thought it was like an eye gloss at first. I don’t know really what to make of this. Swatched Below.
Elizabeth Arden Vitamin C Radiance Renewal Serum Capsules
Full Size: 30 Capsules
Full Size Cost: $48
Sample Size: 7 Capsules
Value: $11.20
I love this because I will be able to bring a vitamin c serum with me next time I travel. I use a vitamin c almost every night and if I miss it to many days I can see a difference in my skin but it never makes the cute in the skincare bag for travel because I have no travel size ones. I like the idea of these little capsules too because they wont spill.
Weird for Macy’s to send 2 glittery lip products but I applaud them on sending stuff that no one else is sending. High value with 3 full size products this month it is hard to be disappointed.
