Macy’s Beauty Box January 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.


 

Cute little Valentine’s Day themed bag but feels pretty cheapie compared to the other bags they have sent out, but the products are much better this month so that’s what really matters.

Philosophy Pure Grace Nude Rose Body Lotion

Full Size: 480 ml

Full Size Cost: $39

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $2.44

Oh good a rose scented lotion. I can’t do roses due to being allergic and pure grace smells so old and gives me a headache I am not even opening this. HARD PASS.

Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $23

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $4.60

This was so creamy like I was shocked by how creamy it was. I wouldn’t use this to remove makeup or if my skin was really greasy but I used this to help wash of a clay mask you know how hard those can be some times and this was so creamy and helped take the mask of gently with out all the pulling and rubbing. So I am on board for this I like this.

Ahava Dead Sea Water Mineral Hand Cream

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 40 ml

Value: $9.60

Great travel hand cream. Great size too. This has a light some what light salty smell but in a beach way not a salt shaker way. This isn’t greasy either.

Micheal Kors Sexy Ruby Perfume

Full Size: 60 ml

Full Size Cost: $92

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $2.30

This smells so sexy and bright I know that is a weird way to describe a perfume. I am rarely a fan of the perfume samples that are sent to me so it is nice to get one I can use.

Clinique + Johnathon Adler: Pop Lip Colour + Primer in Nude Pop

Full Size: 3.8 g

Full Size Cost: $15.40

Sample Size: 3.8 g

Value: $15.40

So this is weird I’m pretty sure this is full size but I cant find this anywhere for purchase the Johnathan Adler packaging looks different and doesn’t have this shade. I swear before Christmas I recall seeing this in a gift with purchase set you know the kinds that Clinique and Macy’s do all the time I have a feeling that is where this came from. I am still happy about a full size special collection lipstick it is just weird I can’t find it online. Swatched Below.

Smashbox Always On liquid Lipstick in Bawse

Full Size: 4 ml

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: ?

Value: $8

No size listed I don’t get why smash box does that. This is a real red red I don’t wear alot of red but I always want to. Maybe I’ll work up the courage to try this out. rather then just have it look pretty in my vanity. Swatched Below.

Bawse on top, Nude Pop Below


Total: $42.34

The full size lipstick is a real score this month and makes the bag but this is the first month so far that I am genuinely happy and like my bag other then the one lotion I will use and enjoy everything in my bag. The only weird this I noticed is that it is super odd two lotions and two lip products so that half the bag is duplicate product types which is super damn odd.
