Macy’s Beauty Box November 2021 Subscription Box Review

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 YSL takeover so everything was YSL in the box. We were supposed to get two little mini bottles of perfume but I had that little card again saying they had to replace something so I ended up with a second lipstick instead.

YSL Y EDP Cologne

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $125

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $1.50

Broken record here but I love that they include a men’s cologne and not just women’s fragrance. This smells pretty nice.

YSL Libre EDT Perfume

Full Size: 90 ml

Full Size Cost: $112

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $1.49

I usually don’t like the perfume samples that are scent but this has notes or orange blossom which I really like so I am game to give this one a go.

YSL Mon Paris EDP Perfume

Full Size: 90 ml

Full Size Cost: $128

Sample Size: 7.5 ml

Value: $10.67

This is such a classic staple scent and I have never tried it before so I am really excited to have this adorable little bottle to try out.

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

Full Size: 3.2 g

Full Size Cost: $38

Sample Size: 1 g?

Value: $11.88

Ii have definitely received this this product in this shade from Macy’s before. I hate that it doesn’t have the size or shade on this. I think it Rouge Tuxedo but I don’t really know. This is very slippy and very shiny not my preferred format of a lipstick but I have 2 now. Swatched Below.

YSL Rouge Pur Couture Satin Lipstick

Full Size: 3.8 g

Full Size Cost: $38

Sample Size: 1 g?

Value: $10

Another shiny lipstick this is more a traditional satin rather then glossy but still not my thing. This shows up alot pinker then I expected from the the tube.

YSL Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils Radical

Full Size: 7.5 ml

Full Size Cost: $29

Sample Size: 2 ml

Value: $7.73

Cool a mascara so exciting. it has a very standard straight brush with natural bristles. It doesn’t seem like it will be worth $29 dollars.

YSL Pure Shots Night Reboot Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $88

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $20.53

Super expensive anti aging serum this is what I am here for. This is probably my favorite thing in the bag this month.


Well I am happy with some of the things in this bag. I think I would have prefered just all little mini bottles of all their fragrances and got like a little scent library to try out Kinda like they did with the Jo Malone box but that is just my two scents.

Macy’s Beauty Box May 2021 Subscription Box Review

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.


I know I missed posting in April but it just came so late and it just was too much to get it done and it was a really meh box anyway.

The coupon has changed again and now it is $5 off of $20 which still no. Bring back the $5 and $10 off coupons that ridiculous I don’t want to have to spend money to use the coupon especially since I have noticed the boxes getting worse in type and size of items being sent. I may cancel if this trend continues on thru the year.

Marc Jacobs Perfect Perfume

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $96

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $2.88

This smells so much more floral than I was expecting. Not for me.

High Beauty High Maintenance Peeling Mask

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $46

Sample Size: 20 ml

Value: $18.40

This has cannabis seed oil in it which is really soothing on the skin and that could pair really well with an exfoliant. Cool to get a very on trend new brand I do really like that.

Bare Minerals Ageless 10% Phyto-Retinol Night Concentrate

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $62

Sample Size: 8 ml

Value: $16.53

I have always been really curious about this line from Bare Minerals but it is so expensive that I would never try it. I am really excited for this.

Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $14.17

I love the Vitamin C line from Sunday Riley it works so well for my skin and I really see results from it. I really hoard their products.

Elemis Peptide 4 Overnight Radiance Peel

Full Size: 10 ml

Full Size Cost: $34

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $34

First of all holy shit expensive. I wonder how this compares to the Sunday Riley one which I didn’t really love.

Urban Decay All-Nighter Face Primer

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $36

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $6

Oohh very excited for this I love All-nighter setting spray. This has a very interesting texture really thin and light and cooling but also really sticky at the same time.


The value is still here with this bag it just feels like less value then usual just a perception thing really.
