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.
Another disappointing month from Macy’s. :/ and a missing product.
The bag is cute and will be great to throw in my gift stash pile.
One again there is nothing to swatch in this month’s bag.
Lancôme Énergie De Vie The Water-Infused Cream
Full Size: 1.7 oz
Full Size Cost: $55
Sample Size: 0.5 oz
Value: $16.18
Thank goodness this one thing is worth the price of the box and it is something I know I like because we have learned this box is pretty terrible on average. This is a super pricey moisturizer I have used it before and I do like it it has a nice fresh scent and works well to moisturize my skin with out being overly moisturizing or clogging my pores. I think the anti aging properties are lost on me though.
Strivectin Multi-Action Stress Defense Hydrating Water Gel
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $59
Sample Size: 10 ml
Value: $11.80
Oh look another moisturizer we always need two in a bag right? That’s what every one wants. This is supposed to help repair the damage from stress and not getting enough sleep since I am always stressed and never sleep I’ll Let you know soon how well that really works. But to start it is a nice light fast absorbing moisturizer.
Elizabeth Arden Superstart Skin Renewal Booster
Full Size: 30 ml
Full Size Cost: $67
Sample Size: 5 ml
Value: $11.17
To round things out a motherfucking THIRD moisturizer. Really Macy’s wtf?! Any way this is a moisturizer booster that you put on before skincare to help it absorb better I have really no use for this so this will get passed along. Also super tiny sample.
Origins Clear Improvement Mask
Full Size: 100 ml
Full Size Cost: $27
Sample Size: 15 ml
Value: $4.05
More skincare! Macy’s you really couldn’t be more boring right now. This is a great mask and I like that it is a bigger size then those annoying little pods that you can’t reseal and this is in a tube so props on the packaging. This is a good mask but I do find it a little harsh this is a once in a while mask it is also very messy.
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Finish
Full Size: 0.5 oz
Full Size Cost: $16
Sample Size: 0.25 oz
Value: $8
It’s a good primer I’ve already reviewed this multiple times since starting this blog if it keeps getting sent to me I will never need to buy a full size what more is there to say it is the OG primer.
Total: $51.20
The value is money wise but it really isn’t in terms of products. Three moisturizers and one of the first primers and first charcoal masks like yes its all great brands but its all old school products and boring as hell. I was also missing the perfume sample that we were supposed to receive but I don’t even care. This really just doesn’t do it for me. I really can’t think who this subscription is meant for.
