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.
Kind of boring this month…… I am really waiting for Macy’s to step up their game coming into the Holidays or I will be canceling.
Literally everything in this bag was transparent there was nothing to swatch.
The bag is super cute this month but not as quality feeling as last months.
Burt’s Bees Hand Salve
Full Size: 3 oz
Full Size Cost: $7.10
Sample Size: 0.3 oz
Value: $0.71
This is a nice little tin of hand salve. It isn’t as great as my Fortune Cookie Soap company salves but it is still nice it is very thick but absorbs quickly.
Laura Mercier Foundation Primer in Radiance
Full Size: 1 oz
Full Size Cost: $22
Sample Size: 0.5 oz
Value: $11
This is a glowy primer but it doesn’t extend the wear of my makeup at all. I am really bored of primers in makeup bags like every one has a million this is boring.
Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief
Full Size: 30 ml
Full Size Cost: $19
Sample Size: 7 ml
Value: $4.43
This is a gel moisturizer I actually like this for my hands it is way to moisturizing for my face. But again another boring standard product we have all seen and tried. I am pretty sure I have this sample sitting in my cabinet some where.
Dermablend Loose Setting Powder
Full Size: 28 g
Full Size Cost: $27
Sample Size: 5 g
Value: $4.82
Hey loose powder no one has ever tried that before *heavy sarcasm* I am kind ok with this because I have heard good things and am interested in this brand but I have so much loose powder I need to work through.
Ahava Purifying Mud Mask
Full Size: 0.9 oz
Full Size Cost: $10
Sample Size: 0.68 oz
Value: $7.56
The thing I am most excited about I love Ahava products and I love purifying masks. They are usually to expensive for me to want to purchase on my own so this is the one thing in the box I am happy about.
Vince Camuto Ciao Perfume
Full Size: 1 oz
Full Size Cost: $51
Sample Size: 0.09 oz
Value: $4.59
This smells really nice but for the life of me I can not figure out what it smells like. At least it is a sample I know I will use up. I love this designer’s shoes. Not that I own any they are like $400 a pair but a girl can dream.
Shame on you Macy’s the value is less this month and less deluxe size samples. I am not happy with this box at all I am giving them to December to impress me. The only saving grace is the $5 coupon but I can not get it to work on line I have to use it in store which limits my choices.
