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.
Macy’s has been consistently better I was both excited and a little annoyed by this bag. For starters the bag just looks cheap with a huge Macy’s logo on it feels like a gift with purchase type of thing. The products in side are really cool and unique this month the problem for me is I just fucking r eorganized all my skincare and bath and body products and committed to using up all the open ones before opening new things. So it is going to be a bit before I open any of these but Macy’s didn’t know that lol.
Benefit Porefessional Primer
Full Size: 0.75 oz
Full Size Cost: $31
Sample Size: 0.1 oz
Value: $4.13
This is the original must have pore filling primer. It is an ok primer but it is far from my favorite primer. It is just lackluster I think the whole buzz about it was just that it was kinda one of the first pore filling primers. Also why are Benefit samples so freaking tiny, adorable but tiny.
Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-Aging Daily Serum
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $162
Sample Size: 5 ml
Value: $16.20
I just finished up two serums so I will add this into rotation soon. It is a pricey serum, most Elizabeth Arden things are though but their packaging always makes me feel like eh like drugstore or boring.
Lancôme Bi-Facil Double Action Makeup Remover
Full Size: 1.7 oz
Full Size Cost: $15
Sample Size: 50 ml
Value: $15
So excited for this one I love bi phase eye makeup removers for travel, yes I know that that is a really odd thing and very weirdly specific. My favorite it the Sephora one because it does not sting my eyes or leave my contacts gross feeling. This is so raved about that I am so excited to try it and see how it compares to my favorite. I love that they gave us the full travel size as well since these do last a long time this should last me for a long time I don’t go through liquid eye makeup remover very fast.
Rituals The Ritual of Hammam Refreshing Foaming Shower Gel
Full Size: 200 ml
Full Size Cost: $15
Sample Size: 50 ml
Value: $3.75
This sounds like it is going to be really cool. I like moussey foamy shower products. The scent is Eucalyptus and Rosemary. Rosemary scents I love but Eucalyptus not so much.
Clarins Tonic Body Treatment
Full Size: 100 ml
Full Size Cost: $64
Sample Size: 10 ml
Value: $6.40
This I am really excited for I love body oils and this one is supposed to be firming. It is probably only good for like 2 or 3 uses it is so tiny so I will probably save this for traveling since I usually can never bring an oil since all my are giant sized.
Giorgio Armani Sì Passione Perfume
Full Size: 100 ml
Full Size Cost: $116
Sample Size: 1.2 ml
Value: $1.39
Finally another little perfume I tend to just grab 2 or 3 or 4 or these when I take a trip and just use them up that way or if I just really want to try something different. This is supposed to be a blackcurrant and woodsy type scent.
Really good value this month and alot of really cool and different type of products like the body oil ad the shower foam I am really happy with this months box and excited to try every thing.
