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.
So this bag was all skincare so this post is really hard to write. I mean there is nothing to swatch and alot of it is anti-aging products that I can’t really see results from so this bag is kinda just a waste to me.
I like the bag this month though so that is a plus I guess.
Carolina Herrera Good Girl Perfume
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $90
Sample Size: 1.5 ml
Value: $2.70
This is a very strong perfume. This is the perfume that comes in the bottle shaped like the a high heel. I wasn’t a huge fan but my mom loves it so I passed it on to her she actually has the full size.
SK-II Facial Treatment Essence
Full Size: 160 ml
Full Size Cost: $179
Sample Size: 10 ml
Value: $11.19
Holy crap this is expensive I think this might be the most expensive item I have ever gotten like even more then perfumes. Like that is nuts. This is supposed to be a hydrating toner that increases radiance but on me it seems pretty matiffying and smoothing. Which I don’t mind just totally the opposite of what it is supposed to do.
Clarins Extra Firming Jour
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $86
Sample Size: 5 ml
Value: $8.60
This is a say cream with spf eh not to exciting and not a whole lot to say about it. I mean what is to write.
Estēe Lauder Resilience Lift Night Cream
Full Size: 29.5 ml
Full Size Cost: $55
Sample Size: 5 ml
Value: $9.32
This is a cream looks solid in the jar but is surprisingly light on the skin which is night I don’t like really heavy thick face creams.
Mac Strobe Cream in Pinklite
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $33
Sample Size: 6 ml
Value: $3.96
I tried swatching this but it was kinda impossible to get to show up. This is just like a lit from within type of glowy product to put on alone or under makeup. These are my favorite kind of things because I don’t wear foundation all the time. Pinklite has pink undertones.
Lancôme Advanced Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate
Full Size: 8 ml
Full Size Cost: $20
Sample Size: 8 ml
Value: $20
Obviously this isn’t a full size but you can buy this sample size and with how expensive it is this seemed fair to use that price. It feels nice on the skin but I don’t like it as much as the Korres Golden crocus one I got from a sephora play at one point.
Total: $55.77
So I like that they kinda gave you a whole skincare routine of really expensive products to try. You have your day cream, some no-makeup makeup, a toner, a night cream, and a serum. I would have maybe preferred like a toner or a mask or an eye cream to the strobe cream just to make it more of a full routine that I could take traveling but all in all it it was a good setup and a well thought out curation just a bit boring. Like getting really nice socks for Christmas you’ll like them while you use them but they aren’t exciting when you open them.
