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 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.
This was a very interesting bag this month do to one product in particular. So let’s get into this.

One size fits all rarely fits all. But it is cool to see something so so out there and different in this months bag. They are soft and stretchy.

Full Size: 220 ml
Full Size Cost: $33
Sample Size: 70 ml
Value: $10.50
I obviously can’t use this it is a rose body cream but it is a really nice size. I think we are getting the matching foaming body wash next month which is kinda cool because I’ll be able to to turn this into a really nice gift set and put it in my emergency gift box. Which is a huge money save for me.
Clinique Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly

I don’t love this moisturizer I got it in Last Month’s Sephora Play. It is a little sticky and not moisturizing but I will be saving it to try again in the summer.
Smashbox Photo Finish Iconic Primer Stick
Full Size: 9 g
Full Size Cost: $32
Sample Size: 1 g?

I like this consistency of primer but I don’t love a stick primer I feel like they always apply a little funky. This is super mattifying though I fee like I will really like this.

This is the strangest liquid liner I have ever used. It is a gel liquid liner so it isn’s super smooth or pigmented on first swipe but it layers up easily and is really smooth and nice. Like a gel would be but with the convenience of a liquid liner. Swatched Below.

Full Size Cost: $100
Sample Size: 1 ml
