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.
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 in subscription boxes.
The cool thing about the coupon is that it is good in stores and online (beauty ships free at Macy’s) 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.
Super early with the bag this month Macy’s good job!
This bag is like the weirdest thing. it has the feel of like those puffy winter ski jackets but then the shiny outside is like plastic feeling. It is so weird. Their bags are rarely logical. I was pretty happy with the contents of this bag so lets get into it.
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Full Size: 28 g
Full Size Cost: $39
Sample Size: 3.5 g
Value: $4.88
To start the sifter on mine was useless I had to pull it out to use this the 3 holes were too small to allow this pretty densely packed powder to get through. I don’t know how I feel about this powder it weirdly looks and feels really nice on my skin if I am not wearing foundation but it looked very heavy on when I had foundation on but it was also a foundation I don’t love so not the fairest test ever. It also doesn’t make my skin feel very soft and smooth like I want a powder to. It did make my makeup last longer though.
Peter Thomas Roth Firmx Peeling Gel
Full Size: 100 ml
Full Size Cost: $48
Sample Size: 15 ml
Value: $7.20
So by now every one knows or maybe should know these peeling gels it is just the product balling up it isn’t actually your skin its the stuff in it that gives you a chemical exfoliation that you see results from pretty quickly. I have like played with some stuff from the firmx line that really seems like it does work but like one little test area is hardly enough to forma an opinion so I am happy to have a product of my own to try out.
Pitera SK-II Facial Treatment Essence
Full Size: 75 ml
Full Size Cost: $99
Sample Size: 30 ml
Value: $39.60
I am always amazed at how freaking expensive this essence is. I have tried a tiny sample of this before i can’t remember is it was Macy’s that sent it or if it was Sephora either way I don’t feel like it did anything at all but this is almost half the full size so I am game to try it on a longer term to see if maybe then I get results this should be enough for at least a month maybe more. I know this is supposed to be like a miracle for your skin but I didn’t really see anything.
Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow in Fairy Tail
Full Size: 4.5 ml
Full Size Cost: $24
Sample Size: 4.5 ml
Value: $24
I can’t believe we got a full size of this. I love these and I love the Shimmer & Glows but it pains me to spend $24 on them which is why I only have like 3 of them. These are just such a gorgeous easy way to do glitter. They go on perfectly and easily is you want to but the edge of it in a bit not problems they don’t transfer or flake or fallout they are just glittery shimmery perfection
This looks awful swatched I know but the camera just can’t capture it well because it is a duochrome so you need he movement and real life to be able to see its true beauty. Fairy Tail is a that olivey/antique gold base with a lavendar glitter that shifts green and gold. It is super pretty on. I am so happy to have another on of these to add to my collection.
Skin Glow by Skin Gym All Natural Rose Quartz Hydra Gel Eye Mask
Full Size: 1 pair
Full Size Cost: $5
Sample Size: 1 pair
Value: $5
This has actual rose in it (lots of this that are rose clay or rose quartz end up having no rose in it) so I can’t try these. Nice that it is a full size though. I would have liked to try them though the shape with being thinner and the hearts on the end actually looks like it would fit my eyes well.
Alien by Thierry Mugler Perfume
Full Size: 30 ml
Full Size Cost: $84
Sample Size: 1.2 ml
Value: $3.36
I don’t like the Mugler perfumes they are all too perfumey and heavy for my tastes.
Alien Man by Thierry Mugler Cologne
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $68
Sample Size: 1.2 ml
Value: $1.63
I kinda love that they throw in the cologne version of the perfumes they send. One it is way more inclusive for any guys that may be subscribe. Two theres pplenty of girls who like more masculine scents and three I like having them to give to my dad or my gf they are nice extra treats.
Macy’s has kinda become my favorite of all my boxes because they are just killing it with the sizes and types of products they are sending and I kinda like the wierd quirky totally makes no sense items like the underwear and pastys cuz its funny even if I won’t use them.
This month had me at the Stila glitter they could have just sent me that and I would have been happy.
