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.
Well Macy’s is getting better this is more what I would have expected from their first box so it is feeling a little to late for me I will probably cancel after I see what they pull out for Christmas. This month they gave us $10 dollars off which was awesome because I was able to score and Origins gift set for free during the Black Friday sale and some Shiseido Facial Cottons with last months $5 off that I have been dying to try. So I was pretty thrilled with that.
Lancôme Cils Booster XL Super Enhancing Mascara Base
Full Size: 5.6 ml
Full Size Cost: $25.50
Sample Size: 2.07 ml
Value: $9.43
Oh gee another mascara primer these are just sitting in my collection getting no use. I should really try these one day but I just don’t see the point. I already like my lashes plenty and often forget to even put mascara on so I just don’t see myself using this extra step ever.
Beauty Blender Blotterazzi Pro
Full Size: 1 blotter and Case
Full Size Cost: $20
Sample Size: 1 blotter
Value: $10
I am approximating this at $10 because half the function of this is having the case. Now the point of this is to be a reusable blotting paper that you take on the go to blot oil. I have the non pro version that I got in Sephora Play! from before I even started this blog. I use this in a different way and actually love it so am very happy to have another. I soak it in setting spray and tap it all over my face anywhere I feel like I have makeup that looks cakey or powdery or isn’t blending well together and feel like it helps everything sink in and blend better. I know I could do that with a regular beauty blender but I feel like this blotter does it quicker and gives a smoother look because it is over a wider area. So Yay for something I will truly get alot of use out of.

I am so super allergic to this mascara is makes my eyes so itchy and red and irritated and just I can’t. But I will find it a good home.
Chanel Gabrielle Perfume

This is ultra feminine smelling not really my style.
This subscription is getting better but it is all stuff I have or isn’t my style I don’t know if the value is there for me personally the best part is the coupon and that isn’t worth $15 a month to me.
