Seasonal Members get to pick 4 of their items as well as the option to swap out their box for credit to shop with as well.


The options for this box did not feel wintery to me at all like this felt very spring to me. So that was a little confusing to me. I was not thrilled with the choice options and I’m the same level of meh now that they have all shown up.

Insert Name Here Insert Waves Here Hair Waver

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $72

I don’t know why i so desperately wanted this but I did. I will use this exactly once before I forget I own it since i don’t do much with my hair but this is the start of the box and was kinda the star of all the choice options as well. I like that this isn’t giant I feel like alot of these three barrel wavers are so huge and unweidly.

dp Hue ACV Exfoliating Scalp Detox

Full Size: 120 ml

Full Size Cost: $35

I love a good scalp treatment they just make my scalp feel refreshed and good and in a weird way they make me feel like im cleaning my brain and makes my whole emotional state feel better lol. I know that’s clearly in my head but self care counts as therapy right. You just apply this to the scalp about ten minutes before you wash your hair and it is supposed to help exfoliate off the dead skin cells and dirt.

by/ Rosie Jane Dulce Perfume

Full Size: 7.5 ml

Full Size Cost: $28

This is so intensely sweet almost too sweet but i think it is also going to be pretty long lasting so that will be good especially for traveling.

Nars Air Matte Lip Color in Shag

Full Size: 7.5 ml

Full Size Cost: $28

Pretty neutral pink color I like the light airy mousse formula and I like Nars lip products alot so this was a great pick.

Aceology Probiotic Restoring Biodegradable Mask

Full Size: 4 masks

Full Size Cost: $59

So you can’t buy this in the US which I think is partly contributing to this insane price. I just can’t imagine this mask does anything so special that it is worth that price at all but I think I am going to try one tonight my face has been freaking out and maybe this will be magical.

Sassy Woof Holiday Walkie Pack

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $31.98

Let’s start with the cons. This is not something they sell any longer I presume it was last years holiday collection and FabFitFun got the left over stock. That is pretty shitty. This is a leash though its not like it goes bad or expires like a makeup item would this is super cute seems pretty hig quality and my dog loves a puppacino we are starbucks girls for sure. The leash and the metal hard ware seems pretty good quality the poop bag holders to hold the bag with poop never really works for my but I will give it a try it is a cute leash accessory either way.


This box just feels like things I’d want for spring a new dog leash a beachy hair styling tool a sweet perfume a refreshing type skincare and hair care a pink lipstick like it just seems wrong for a wintery box.

Macy’s Beauty Box November 2023

Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon 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.


I love when they do a take over box I actually really like getting to try a bunch of products from the same range. I have actually used all of these products before.

Bumble and Bumble Comb

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $5.21

I used to have a comb like this that I would use in the shower when I was doing hair masks and it just disappeared into the abyss and I never replaced it and now I have a new one yay.

Bumble and Bumble Hairdressers Invisible Oil Shampoo

Full Size: 473 ml

Full Size Cost: $49

Sample Size: 7ml x2

Value: $1.45

Bumble and Bumble Hairdressers Invisible Oil Conditioner

Full Size: 473 ml

Full Size Cost: $51

Sample Size: 7ml x2

Value: $1.83

They could have at least included a full travel size set lets be real this is kinda ridiculous. I don’t like this shampoo and conditioner it is too heavy on my hair and leaves it feeling almost waxy but my hair is way to damage for this this better if you have more course unmanageable hair.

Bumble and Bumble Thickening Dry Spun Texture Spray

Full Size: 120 g

Full Size Cost: $36

Sample Size: 17 g

Value: $5.10

This is a really thickening Texture spray it adds alot of hold.

Bumble and Bumble Heat Shield Thermal Protection Mist

Full Size: 124 ml

Full Size Cost: $36

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $8.71

I find all heat protectants a little sticky and not my favorite thing to use this one is fine I’ve used it it isn’t my favorite I wouldnt buy it but if I have it I will use it.

Bumble and Bumble Bond Building Repair Treatment

Full Size: 125 ml

Full Size Cost: $37

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $8.88

I love this I use it it makes my hair feel better not as good as Olaplex but it think its cheaper and the process to use it isn’t so intense.

Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat/UV Protective Primer

Full Size: 125 ml

Full Size Cost: $22

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $5.28

I like the concept of this because a UV primer would be super useful for my dies hair but this is just to heavy and sticky for my hair in makes my hair gross.


Well not a terribly great value for this box I find that is usually the case with the take over boxes but I still prefer them from an experience point of view.

Tarte Travel Size Maracuja Juicy Lip Creme in Mauve

Full Size: 1.3 g

Full Size Cost: $13

This is creamy and a nice color I will give this a whirl for sure it didn’t seem to sticky but it seems kinda smeary so I will have to see how it wears. I think I might bring this on vacation with me. And if it sucks I can leave it behind and lighten my return load lol.

Cyro Facial Ice Mold

Full Size: Yes?

Full Size Cost: $3.99

I linked to a random one I found on amazon it is alot bigger but this seems like a fair price. I don’t know that I will I don’t love cold things and refrigerated rollers are already to cold for me but it might be good at making water bottle ice cubes we shall see.

Caudalie Vinopure Purifying Gel Cleanser

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $6

I don’t get on with Caudalie and they send a ton of it in these boxes I will pass this on but I’m sure its nice. I also have more than enough face wash.
