Macy’s Beauty Box October 2018 Subscription Box Review

Macy’s Beauty Box

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 (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.

---

So Macy’s trend of killing it one month and sicking the next continues. So we are on a sucky month this time.

Look how tiny all these samples are that bag is barely the size of a pencil case and its sewn together kinda of so its crooked its just odd.

Calvin Klein Women Perfume

Full Size: 1.7 oz

Full Size Cost: $84

Sample Size: 0.04 oz

Value: $1.98

There is no picture of this and I already gave away the sample. Sorry it happens. This had an overly feminine not floral but just womanly type scent I wasn’t into it.

Calvin Klein Eternity for Men

Full Size: 1 oz

Full Size Cost: $23.80

Sample Size: 0.04 oz

Value: $0.95

This is very woody and green smelling it smells nice for a men’s cologne.

Girlactik Precise Eyeliner Marker

Full Size: 1.2 ml

Full Size Cost: $20

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $20

I didn’t think this was full size but apparently it is I don’t like this that much it is really black but it bleeds alot and that is a big eyeliner no no for me.

Philosophy Purity Hydra-Bounce Eye gel

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 3 ml

Value: $4.80

I love trying out new eye creams but I don’t love Philosophy skincare so I’ll give it a try. This is also such a tiny sample.

Bare Minerals Prime Time Eyelid Primer

Full Size: 3 ml

Full Size Cost: $18

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $9

Please don’t buy this. There is nothing wrong with it it is a perfectly fine eye primer but you should never for any reason need to spend $18 on 3 ml of eye primer you can get so much more for the same price or less. I am just like stunned by the size and price of this primer.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $62

Sample Size: 3 ml

Value: $12.40

I think this is the same as something else we got just in new better packaging I am very confused by this.

Lancome Monsieur Big Waterproof Mascara

Full Size: 10 ml

Full Size Cost: $25

Sample Size: 2 ml

Value: $5

This mascara isn’t bad it is very heavy on your eyelashes though. I also don’t use waterproof mascara ever so I am going to pass this on. This is half the size of even a travel mascara like really.

---

I can’t believe the eye primer is actually half the full size that makes the full size kind of a rip off in my opinion this is just alot of really tiny samples. And two eye creams.  So if trends continue next month should be good.
