Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

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.

Shiseido Essential Energy Hydrating Cream

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $49

Sample Siz: 15 ml

Value: $14.70

Cool a moisturizer. I am sure it’ll be really nice. How boring.

Shiseido Ultimune Eye Power Infusing Eye Concentrate

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $70

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $23.33

I have tried this before I might even have more of this some where. I don’t care for it feels like a very basic eye cream especially for this price.

Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $75

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $25

I just don’t get what this power line is really supposed to do. but this is a really nice size sample.

Shiseido Urban Environment Sun Dual Care SPF 42

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $48

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $6.72

I haven’t tried this version of the sunscreen but I really enjoy their sunscreens this is oil free which is great for a sunscreen.

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion SPF 50

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $49

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $2.29

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.

A good box even though it was very late which isn’t usual for Macy’s but that makes two months in a row.

3ina The Color Pen Eyeliner in 850 Blue

This is very pretty and smooth and I really like it it comes in a ton of colors too. I love that it isn’t another black eyeliner.

I love fiber mascaras but I don’t typically love Mac mascaras so TBD we’ll see.

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.

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.

The Beauty Crop Brow Friends Forever Grow & Groom Brow Gel

Full Size: 4 ml

Full Size Cost: $8.99

I don’t typically use brow gel so this will get passed along. But I was shocked to see that this was full sized.

The Beauty Crop Vitamin Babe Microfiber Sponge

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $10

I like Microfiber sponges they are so soft and this one looks like a peach its so adorably cute. I love it.

The Beauty Crop Coco Gold Mist

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $14.99

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.

The Beauty Crop The Essentials Palette

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $19.99

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.

The Beauty Crop Stuck on You Eye Primer

Full Size: 4 g

Full Size Cost: $16.50

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.

The Beauty Crop Glow Milk in Pear Pressure

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $19.99

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $6.66

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.

The Beauty Crop Juice Pot in Melon

Full Size: 10 ml

Full Size Cost: $15.99

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.
