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 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.

Another Brand takeover this month and we have Laura Mercier I like the concept of brand take overs but I haven’t really been impressed with them so far.

Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder

Full Size: 29 g

Full Size Cost: $39

Sample Size: 1 g

Value: $1.34

I mean I know this is like the star product from this brand but like who hasn’t tried this. It is fine for a setting powder if a bit heavy.

Laura Mercier Illuminating Eye Cream

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $58

Sample Size: 1 ml

Value: $3.87

Well this is a really expensive eye cream to not have any actives. This is like one use at most here so I don’t see how this is even worth putting in this box.

Laura Mercier The Perfect Cream Multi-Tasking Moisturizer

Full Size: 50 g

Full Size Cost: $68

Sample Size: 7.5 g

Value: $10.20

This jar is very nice for a little sample. This had that fancy old skincare scent that I don’t particularly like. I know this is supposed to wear really well under makeup so that is kinda cool and something different.

Laura Mercier Nourishing Rose Oil

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $65

Sample Size: 3 ml

Value: $6.50

I obviously can’t use this. I’ll have pass this on to some one but it is nice and should last awhile you only need a little bit of oil.

Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Au Natural

Full Size: 1.64 g

Full Size Cost: $29

Sample Size: 1 g

Value: $17.68

I have this already probably got it from a Macy’s box who remembers. These are really nice shadow sticks they blend well they wear well. This color is very basic and neutral and not my favorite of all the color options but a very good product.

Laura Mercier Velour Extreme Matte Lipstick in Fresh

Full Size: 1.4 g

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 0.42

Value: $9

This is a very pretty dusty red color and I love a matte formula this is the thing I am most excited about in this box.

I am really not overly impressed with this brand takeover.

Hey we got a bag this month, it has been awhile and the bag is cute!

Versace Dylan Turquoise

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $84

Sample Size: 1 ml

Value: $1.68

I normally save these for travel and stuff but I think this perfume smells so good I am probably just gona use it right now and enjoy it. It is very summer and fruity but fancy.

Clinique Moisture Surge 100h Auto-Replenishing Hydrator

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $14

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $14

This is just a very nice light gel moisturizer nothing special but definitely feels nice on. I really don’t believe the 100h claims that feels so ridiculous and over dramatic.

Shiseido Ultimate Protector Lotion SPF 50+

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $49

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $2.29

This is one of my favorite sunscreens every. It is light it isn’t sticky or weird feeling it literally feels like nothing and doesn’t break me out or give me and allergic reaction. I wish it wasn’t $49 because I would buy it all the time but it is so expensive for something I would go through pretty quickly because a little does not go along way with this product but it is so damn good.

Coola Sun Silk Drops SPF 30

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $46

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $7.67

This is a sunscreen that has always intrigued me but again pricey so I never want to buy it. The packaging I love it is so pretty and it feels so nice in my hand it is heavy glass but has that soft touch on it and the dropper is convenient.

Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Smoothing Anti-Frizz Blowout Butter

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $34

Sample Size: 25 ml

Value: $5.67

Alterna products are really hit or miss for me I rarely heat style my hair let alone blow it out so I don’t know if I will end up keeping this.

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Oil-in-Stick Hydrating Lipstick Balm in Rouge Tuxedo

Full Size: 3.2 g

Full Size Cost: $38

Sample Size: 1.5 g?

Value: $17.81

This is very comfortable but it also is very slippy and this is a very bright color to have in that texture. It is a really pretty color but I don’t know how much use I will get out of it. I hate how secretive these luxury brands are with the size of their products like just let me know how much product I am getting with out having to do a bunch of research and guessing.

Grande Cosmetics Grande Lips Hydrating Lip Plumper in Clear

Full Size: 2.48 ml

Full Size Cost: $27

Sample Size: 1 ml?

Value: $10.89

I have tried these before they are nice but like not worth the high price for the little amount of product. Stick with the lash and brow serums that actually do something.

Well it was a nice mix of things this month but the sizes are very small.
