Macy’s Beauty Box November 2020 Subscription Box Review

Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: 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. Lately we have been getting between 6 and 8 items per month you never really know how many things you are going to get.

All the brands will be brands you can find in Macy’s which is cool since they sell Mac and a lot of other brands that are never to rarely seen in subscription boxes.

The cool thing about the coupon is that it is good in stores and online 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.


This month’s bag was so bad that i have been dreading putting in the work to review it. Like i have a replacement item that sucks in comparison to what I should have gotten, probable missing items with no way to contact Macy’s about it. Repeat items and a just plain awful item that should not be in a box that people pay money for like I pretty much am not happy with anything from this box. This is a mess of a box.

Jockey True Fit Promise One Size Hipster Underwear

Full Size: 1 pair

Full Size Cost: $11.50

Sample Size: 1 pair

Value: $5.99

I really wish Macy’s wouldn’t send underwear this is not one size fits all how would that even bee possible with underwear and it really is kinda awkward and weird. I don’t like these.

Tan Towel Half-Body Tan in Fair to Medium Skin Tones

Full Size: 10 Towels

Full Size Cost: $29.99

Sample Size: 1 Towel

Value: $2.99

Well they sent us half a tan. Like wtf at least send two so people have the full body option if they want it. Also this is wildly inappropriate for November. I just am really let down by Macy’s this month.

Dermablend Loose Setting Powder

Full Size: 28 g

Full Size Cost: $29

Sample Size: 3 g

Value: $3.11

It is a fine translucent powder but they have definitely sent this before. Big Sigh. Its the laziness for me.

SK-II Pitera Facial Treatment Essence

Full Size: 160 ml

Full Size Cost: $185

Sample Size:30 ml

Value: $34.69

So I have had this before can’t remember if it was from Sephora Play! or from Macy’s but it is really expensive for something that I felt did absolutely nothing. But I guess I’ll give it another go. I know this has a cult following so some people are probably thrilled to have this because of the price but I don’t care for it.

PYT Plumping Gloss

Full Size: 0.2 oz

Full Size Cost: $13.94

Sample Size: 0.08 oz

Value: $5.58

A boring clear gloss. Its plumping i don’t know what else to expound on with this.

Skin Reset 4-Week Intensive Rejuvenation System Set

Full Size: 36 ml

Full Size Cost: $139

Sample Size: 4 ml

Value: $15.44

This is kinda ridiculous to include as an item. I don’t care that it is technically worth $15 like it is a a one time use foil packet for a system that will only work if you use it the way it is intended. So weird. this is like a free sample.

Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Cologne

Full Size: 74 ml

Full Size Cost: $73

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $1.48

This smells nice I am excited for my girlfriend to wear it. It is a summer scent though this is not appropriate for a November box.

Thierry Mugler Angel Eau Croisiere

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $84

Sample Size:1.2 ml

Value: $2.02

I don’t like any Mugler perfumes they all smell like a headache to me. The bottle on this is kinda pretty being a rainbow star but that also feels like summer vibes to me.


This box really was not up to par this month I am completely dissatisfied it feels like all random leftovers from the summer months when they put the box on pause.
