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.
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.
Avene Solaire UV Mineral Multi-Defense Tinted Sunscreen Fluid SPF 50 I did not like this it was really watery and sticky and felt tacky on my skin.
Repurchase: No
StriVectin Multiaction Super B Oil I really really liked this it really made my skin look and feel healthy and glowy but it still needed to be paired with a retinol and being $72 that really sucks because that’s expensive.
Repurchase: Probably
Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel this made my skin soft but it also burned a little I feel pretty ambivalent towards it.
Repurchase: No
Skin & Co Truffle Therapy Polishing Micro-Exfoliating Truffle Face Gommage this was a nice enough physical face scrub I enjoyed using it but it wasn’t anything special.
Repurchase: No
Clinique For Men Super Energizer Anti-Fatigue Hydrating Concetrate this was meh. It was fine it didn’t break me out as bad as other Clinique sunscreens I have tried but it did a little towards the end of using it up. It was pretty white cast heavy but it did eventually absorb in.
Repurchase: No
Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 I loved this. It was a matt gel and it was very soft and smooth and clear on my skin.
Repurchase: Yes
Beekman 1802 Buttermilk Makeup Cleansing Balm this just isn’t that good. It doesn’t break down really waterproof or really heavy makeup and it doesn’t sting my eyes but it does leave like a film on them that I don’t like. I really loved the packaging though the design is really clever with the scoop acting like a handle because it attaches to the top.
Repurchase: No
Random (4)
Axe Phoenix Antiperspirant I hate this I have one more I got them for free I use them to travel but I feel like they smell so strong but also don’t work that well.
Repurchase: No
Secret Clinical Stress Response Deodorant this was fine but not my favorite. I need to circle back to degree it’s been a while they are my favorite but they are expensive.
Repurchase: No
FCS OCD Hand Sanitizer in Psych-O’s I really didn’t like the bottle they used on this one it was really hard to squeeze out.
Repurchase: No
Sweet And Shimmer Unscented Wipes I use these for swatches they work great I love them.
Repurchase: Yes
Home Scents (5)
Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Black Cherry Seltzer this had like no scent whatsoever.
Repurchase: No
Ulta Foaming Fresh Hand Soap in Verbena this scent was kinda not there but this soap lasted forever. Every time I was like ah there’s nothing left in this bottle I would get another month out of it.
Repurchase: Maybe
Lucky Charms Candle the scent was good but the throw really got weaker and weaker over time. Also the burn quality was pretty terrible I had to keep resetting the wick because it would float away.
Repurchase: No
Yankee Candle Wax Melt in Spiced Orange this basically had no scent but it was also pretty old.
Repurchase: No
FCS Car Freshener in Explore I loved this I am sad to see it go. It smelled nice and tropical and fruity.
Repurchase: Yes
Lip (1)
Natural Pure Honest Lip Scrub in Bridgerton this was fine. But this brand is kinda sketch it comes in one of my boxes and the company “exists” but you can’t buy anything from them. It gives me weird front or shell company vibes.
Repurchase: No
Makeup (1)
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara I like this mascara fine its really good and really volumizing.
Repurchase: Yes
Lotion (1)
Moroccanoil Body Lotion this had a very strong musky warm ambery scent it wasn’t unpleasant but also not my favorite. This was a really thick lotion but it did absorb well it was nice.
Repurchase: Maybe in a different scent.
Bodycare (5)
FCS Body Wash in Brightest Day Darkest Night this was unimpressive. I liked the color though.
Repurchase: No
Wet ‘n’ Wild Life’s a Beach Scrub this was a really great scrub it had a great consistency I wish it was a bigger tub or not limited edition.
Repurchase: Yes
Tree Hut Shaving Oil in Watermelon this is forever my favorite it gives me such a close smooth shave and leaves my legs all smooth and shiny.
Repurchase: Yes
Victoria Secret Cloud Wash in Bare Vanilla this was a really nice warm vanilla and the foam was really soft and nice I really liked it but there was not much in here I went through it really fast.
Repurchase: Yes
Nic Nacks Massage Oil in Ignite My Love this was a great body oil it was moisturizing it smelled nice I would buy it again but it would be hard to like track down since this came in a very random subscription box that sorta does its own thing.
Repurchase: I would
Perfume (2)
Valentino Born in Roma Coral Fantasy I wanted this so bad I loved the way it smelled in the bottle but I don’t think it wore really great on me.
Repurchase: No
Versace Bright Crystal Perfume this didn’t smell as good on me as it did in the bottle it didn’t wear well on me personally it turned a bit sour.
Repurchase: No
Declutter (3)
Verb Glossy Conditioner this was just impossible to get out of the bottle and I don’t think it did anything special for my hair.
Laura Geller Baked Original Highlighter in French Vanilla this is too subtle and too light for my skin tone.
Dark & Lovely Blowout Silky Slip Blow-dry Cream this made my hair sticky.
Well this month was a month that’s it I was so crazy busy I really don’t have much to say and this is already really late.
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 month was a takeover box with The Beauty Crop. I really like the take over boxes because I really enjoy getting to try alot of things from a brand at once. That way if I don’t like one thing it is not my only impression of the brand.
I hate shimmer setting sprays but this is really nice and some one will love it. It looks super pretty in the bottle I kinda just want to shake it all day.
This is a great palette, 6 shadows 2 glitters 3 face products and a brow product, a full face in a palette. I don’t need this but It is a really great useful palette. They have alot of really cute palette on their site.
This has a bit of a sheen and is very smooth. Unfortunately it is a bit slick and not super tacky so I don’t have high hopes that it will be a great eye primer but I will give it a go. Swatched at the end.
I love liquid highlighters like this but it is a drier formula and in my experience mini bottles dry up even faster so I won’t get a ton of use out of it but I will enjoy it while I have it. Swatched Below.
This is so pretty and pigmented. I love it such a pretty melony orange blush color I love it. Favorite thing in the whole box. And worth the whole box as well. Swatched Below.
Much better box then last month for sure. Almost everything was full size and you can literally make a full face minus like foundation and mascara.
