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.
Wow this is the first Macy’s ever that has been all makeup up. As usual the bag quality is nice but not something I like but they make great gifts, I like to make my own little gift set time things and these bags are perfect for it.
Tarte Park Ave Princess Bronzer
Full Size: 9 g
Full Size Cost: $30
Sample Size: 3 g
Value: $10
I have one of these already so the swatch is from mine and this will move on to a new home I don’t need two of this bronzer I don’t particularly care for it. I would believe the claims that this is waterproof because once it is on your face it doesn’t move I find it really hard to blend out and it is shimmery which I don’t like in my bronzer. This also has a strange under tone it is like a warm yellow it just doesn’t look quite right on me. Swatched Below.
Nudestix Nudies in Illumi-Naughty
Full Size: 8 g
Full Size Cost: $30
Sample Size: 1.7 g
Value: $6.38
I swear I have had this before but can’t find it anywhere. That aside this is one of those kinda dewy kinda shimmery highlight sticks it is a little more glowy sheen which is not the kind of highlight I usually go for but I’m sure I’ll use it. Swatched Below.
DermaBlend Glow Creator in Gold
Full Size: 15 ml
Full Size Cost: $33
Sample Size: 4 ml
Value: $8.80
This is a gold shimmery mix in highlighter it says it can be worn alone but it doesn’t work that way you need to mix this into another liquid product and it will add a gold radiance to what ever you mix it into. Swatched Below.
It Cosmetics Brow Power in Universal Taupe
Full Size: 0.0056 g
Full Size Cost: $24
Sample Size: 0.0018 oz

This has a pretty soft spoolie and a pretty stiff pencil I received this same on in a Boxycharm at one point.
Benefit Bad Gal Bang Mascara
Full Size: 8.5 g
Full Size Cost: $24
Sample Size: 3 g
Value: $8.47
Sorry this picture came out so dark. I have been dying to try this mascara but refused to buy it. The brush has really short rubber spike snot my favorite type but we shall see.
Dolce & Gabbana Garden Perfume
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $94
Sample Size: 1.5 ml
Value: $2.82
This perfume is just trying to hard it is a floral oriental gourmand scent like really trying way to hard to many scents thrown together.
This was the most makeup heavy bag Macy’s has ever set out which is a nice change of pace I like that they scent out a mix of classics like the bronzer and the brow pencil and some more interesting products like the two highlighters.
