Macy’s Beauty Box October 2020 Subscription Box Review

Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon (sometimes $10), 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.

The cool thing about the coupon is that it is good in stores and online also Macy’s does have sales and $5 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 it is still basically free.


So after a pretty long hiatus Macy’s Beauty Box is back. We are even getting the Jo Malone box hat we were supposed to get for May that every one was super excited about. I am also really excited about this box so let’s get into it.

The bag is super little but also super well made.

Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede Cologne

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $142

Sample Size: 9 ml

Value: $12.78

This has rose in it which makes it an automatic no go for me. Plus I am really not into florals. I do like that this is a sprayer and not a roll on.

Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $142

Sample Size: 9 ml

Value: $12.78

I really wanted to like this I love pear scents but the freesia just gives it too clean of a scent for my tastes and I am just not feeling it.

Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay Cologne

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $142

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $2.13

I wish we had gotten this one in the bigger size. Especially since we got two florals this would have been better in a larger size to suit more people. This is a warmer more “masculine” scent but I really like it. It is very fall. I will probably use it up right away rather then saving it with all my other perfume samples.

Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin Body & Hand Wash

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $25

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $3.75

Lime, basil, mandarin some of my favorite scents right there. It weirds me out that this is a body and hand wash but I will over look it for how damn good this smells.

Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt Body Creme

Full Size: 175 ml

Full Size Cost: $86

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $7.37

This doesn’t really have a scent? It is a really rich luxe body cream though.and the container is really nice like worth saving.

Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom & Honey Scented Candle

Full Size: 7.1 oz

Full Size Cost: $69

Sample Size: 1 oz

Value: $9.72

This is the thing I am most excited for. I now get to experience a bougie candle that costs so much money maybe this will give me an idea of why certain candles are so outlandishly expensive but I have a feeling it wont. Still excited it smells really nice and light.


This was so fun to get so many different things from this line. I wish the bigger perfumes hadn’t both been florals but at least they were two very different types of florals. Not the best value Macy’s has ever done but a really nice fun brand overview of a brand that feels really unattainable due to the price.
