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 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.
What the hell is with this weird clear puffball makeup bag this does not seem appropriate for the demographic of this box….This box tends to be hard core on the expensive skincare that leans slightly older and this bag is straight up preteen. So weird.
Tony Moly I’m Lemon Brightening Gel Eye Patch
Full Size: 1 pair
Full Size Cost: $4
Sample Size: 1 pair
Value: $4
I am trying to get better about using these more often and not just for like special occasions. I think my eyes would really benefit from more moisture more often. so I am always happy to get more because these things cost alot for one use.
Clinique Moisture Surge 72 Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $39.00
Sample Size: 7 ml
Value: $5.46
I don’t really love this moisturizer it is light but heavy at the same time. My skin just isn’t dry enough for me to use this comfortably on my face most times. But I do really like it as a hand lotion when my hands are dry. I know that is a pricey way to moisturize but I have so much lotion that I don’t really care that much ad it helps out my hands alot and I mean they are part of my skin too.
Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator
Full Size: 57 g
Full Size Cost: $79
Sample Size: 7.5 g
Value: $10.39
This is an ok exfoliator but it is no where near worth the price they charge for it. I think everything I have tried from Dr. Brandt is just so overpriced for what it is you can find much cheaper better options. the Derma-e Microdermabrasion scrub is half the price and ten times better.
Kiehl’s Glow Formula Skin Hydrator
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $38
Sample Size: 5 ml
Value: $3.80
This has that same lemon pound cake type scent that the Glamglow Glowstarters have that I love so much. This leaves a nice glowy look but it definitely is not a moisturizer this is more primer/no makeup makeup.
Philosophy Anti-Wrinkle Miracle Worker Primer
Full Size: 26 ml
Full Size Cost: $38
Sample Size: 7 ml
Value: $10.23
I don’t see hoe this is going to do anything. And I tend to not get on well with Philosophy skin products.
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $84
Sample Size: 1.2 ml
Value: $2.02
Too floral for my tastes.
This box was kinda boring all skin care pretty much nothing really exciting. The best thing in the box was the eye patches.
