What is it: Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon (that used to it) with a purchase amount which I hate (SUCH A DOWNGRADE), 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.
This was a brand takeover box which normally I am on board for but this was kinda boring and lack luster. I like Shiseido but this was a really empty boring box. Also it feels like deja vu i am sure i have gotten or tried all of these products before.
This is a great sunscreen one of my favorites I’m not allergic to it and it doesn’t feel weird or sticky on my skin I like it alot.
This box just felt super boring to me like shiseido makes makeup why wasn’t any of that included in here? This is also a really low amount of products for a Macy’s box. No full sizes, not the greatest value either.
Woah Oct flew by. This was some how the second most amount of items I used all year, but dead last for value and for amount paid but like so weird that it there was no value to what I used not super great I have a strong feeling I will not meet my goal this year.

Clinique Take the Day off Balm this is my favorite eye makeup remover of all time.

Random (4)
Fur Wash Cloth this was really nice I used it as a quick cleanup during a long hot day and it was effective.
Repurchase: Maybe, I don’t know if they are expensive
Sweet & Shimmer Brush Cleansing Wipes I like these for cleaning my brushes when I’m traveling so I don’t have to pack to many. I have a good stock of these so I won’t need them for a long time.
Repurchase: In the future.
Degree MotionSense Dry Spray in Ultraclear good deodorant but this got a little cakey which I didn’t love.
Repurchase: Maybe
Everyone Hand Sanitizer Wipes in Coconut + Lemon these smelled so good and they didn’t leave my hands sticky or dry these were so good.
Repurchase: Yes
Home Scents (3)
FCS Wish Upon a Star Charcoal Whipped Soap this is one of those times where half done is being is counting as used up I hated this it was really thick and sticky and hard to wash off my hands like it really had to be scrubbed off. It also left a lot of grey black mess in my sink that was a pain to clean up.
Repurchase: No
Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Coconut Lime Breeze this was too light in scent.
Repurchase: No
FCS Wax Brittle in Snuggly Duckling I melted through half of this but the scent just gave me such a headache it was so overpowering and it was a clean linen scent which isn’t my favorite. I just couldn’t handle it anymore.
Repurchase: No
Makeup (2)
Nyx Plump Right Back Plumping Serum Primer this was a good primer it held on to my make up alright and it made my makeup look really nice. But this didn’t make my skin like that great in the sense that this can’t be worn alone.
Repurchase: Maybe
KVD Vegan Beauty (Formerly Kat Von D Beauty) Go Big or Go Home Mascara this was awful. Really gunky and clumpy and heavy and incredibly hard to take off.
Repurchase: No
Bodycare (7)
Dial Spring Water Body Wash I hated this. The scent is just not for me and the body wash is a bit sticky.
Repurchase: NO, I just need to get through the others I have
Dew of the Gods Froze Mini Body Scrub this was meh. It smelled ok it was a little mush for a scrub the packaging was weird. Why is it blessed by Buddhist monks that’s weird.
Repurchase: No
Osea Undarian Algae Body Oil this was a nice oil absorbed well made my skin look and feel nice I don’t care for the scent or the price point though.
Repurchase: No
Ulta Beauty Bubble Bath in Cinnamon Swirl this wasn’t terribly bubbly but the smell was nice.
Repurchase: No
Ulta Beauty Bath Confetti in Hot Cocoa this was gross. It smelled really good, but it didn’t dissolve in the water so it was a real mess in in the tub.
Repurchase: No
Spongelle in Pomegranate I love these for travel so convenient for traveling sponge and soap all together. I wasn’t a huge fan of this scent it was really over sweet to the point where it smelled off.
Repurchase: No
FCS Shampoo Bar in Fin.Noggin.Duuude I use these as shaving soap when I travel they work decent for that because they lather up and have a bit of grit to help my hair stand up.
Repurchase: I won’t buy these on purpose but I’ll use them
Perfume (4)
Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Perfume I didn’t like this it was too girly smelling.
Repurchase: No
Skylar Vanilla Sky Perfume this smelled really good I loved the vanilla scent.
Repurchase: Yes
Skylar Coconut Cove Perfume I almost liked this I feel like I would want to try it again. It was more like a floral coconut then a sweet and I prefer sweet.
Repurchase: No
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Forever I thought I would love this and I did not. Just not for me.
Repurchase: No
Haircare (4)
Drybar Sparkling Soda Shine Spray I really like this shine spray and the scent of it is so good. It is pretty dry for a shine spray so if you have oily hair but want a shine spray this might be the one for you. I really liked this I would use it again but I have a few other shine sprays that I am trying right now.
Repurchase: Maybe
Marajo Cleansing Cream this is fine but the size is much to small for my hair so it was not effective.
Repurchase: No
Marajo Deep Butter Treatment I used to really like this but I feel like after having gone through a full size my doesn’t like it anymore.
Repurchase: No
Bad, Baby 4 in 1 Hair Emergency Pen this was terrible. It was sticky and dry and did nothing for my hair.
Repurchase: No
Declutter (6)
Revlon Cloud Blotted Lip Color in Cherries on a Cloud this was not what I thought this would be it was more of a liquidy barely there color that didn’t stay on and not what I was looking for at all.
Beauty by Popsugar Be Racy Liquid Velvet Lip in Berry Nice I have this color a million times over and this formula just wasn’t that special.
YSL Rouge Pur Couture Satin Lipstick I don’t like the formula of this it is way to creamy and shiny for me. The color is also very baby pink which also is not for me.
First Aid Beauty Pores Be Gone Matte Primer this had not affect or benefit whatsoever.
Complex Culture Double Dimension Dual Ended Eyeliner Pencil in Matte Deep Plum/ Metallic Pearl this was hard and scratchy and didn’t deposit a lot of color.
Coloured Raine Focal Point Glow Lighters in Selfie this was just unimpressive I have so many highlighters that this was too boring basic and the same as others I have that I like better. It wasn’t bad I just have so many.
What is it: Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon (that used to it) with a purchase amount which I hate (SUCH A DOWNGRADE), 5 deluxe samples and 1 bonus sample. Why not just say 6?

A good box even though it was very late which isn’t usual for Macy’s but that makes two months in a row.
Will always love that they give men’s colognes makes the box very inclusive.
Compact Bag?
Full Size: Yes
Full Size Cost: $?
Uh I don’t even know what to call this its like a little zipper pouch but then it has a mirror that flips out. It is very weird and feels very Dollar Tree-ish.
