Macy’s Beauty Box January 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.


First box of the year not really that impressive at all.

Makeup Bag

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $1.25

This is literally something you can get at the Dollar Tree. I was even nice in my value and upped it to the new $1.25 price of the dollar tree but this is stiff and cheap quality.

Origins Ginzing Refreshing Eye Cream

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $37

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $12.33

I really don’t like this eye cream at all it is reflective and i don’t care for how it feels and my gf who isn’t too picky doesn’t really care for it either.

YSL L’Homme EDT

Full Size: 60 ml

Full Size Cost: $80

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $1.60

I don’t think I like this one but I like that they give a cologne and a perfume.

Naturally Serious Lemonaid Makeup Removing Cleansing Gel

Full Size: 120 ml

Full Size Cost: $19

Sample Size: 7.5 ml

Value: $1.19

This actually sounds like it would be really irritating I don’t know why anyone would want a lemon/acidic makeup remove. This would definitely be irritating to the eyes and if a makeup remover can’t remove my eye makeup it is pretty useless to me.

Lancome Renergie Lift Multi-Action Ultra SPF 30

Full Size: 2.5 oz

Full Size Cost: $163

Sample Size: 0.17 oz

Value: $11.08

I have used this before it is nice enough I don’t know that it is worth the $163 price this feels really basic.

Dr. Brandt Hyaluronic Facial Cream

Full Size: 50 g

Full Size Cost: $72

Sample Size: 7.5g

Value: $10.80

This will be nice I like hylauronic acid creams I find alot of them to be quite sticky so I will have to see if this one ends up being sticky.

Youth Haus Golden Glow Gold Face Mask

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $8.50

A fancy two piece mask I don’t find these to ever really fit me that well they are too big but cool the only full size thing in this box.

YSL Black Opium EDP

Full Size: 90 ml

Full Size Cost: $139

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $1.85


Really not a good box and last month wasn’t either I may end up canceling soon if it keeps going this way all the subscription boxes have really been going down hill the last year or two.

We got 9 things this month which is impressive.

Reusable Silicone Face Mask Cover

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $14.99

These things are just not my jam. I don’t use my skincare in a way where I would want to turn a non mask product into a face mask so this is just not for me. I linked to a random one at target but these can range from cheap to very pricey.

Philosophy Purity One-Step Facial Cleanser

Full Size: 240 ml

Full Size Cost: $27

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $3.78

I hate this cleanser I fee like it irritates my skin and doesn’t clean it. I know most people find it really gentle but that isn’t the case for me.

Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask

Full Size: 14 ml

Full Size Cost: $7

This is a full travel size you can buy which is funny it is so tiny. I am just so sick of seeing this mask I have gotten it so many times. It was also a replacement from a new pore clearing anti aging mask that I would have really really liked to try so that really sucks.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Pour Homme Cologne

Full Size: 75 ml

Full Size Cost: $74

Sample Size: 0.8 ml

Value: $0.79

Can’t even give us a whole ml like really.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue EDT

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $110

Sample Size: 0.8 ml

Value: $0.88

Again not even a ml that is legit one use like what.

Unite 7 Seconds Detangler

Full Size: 236 ml

Full Size Cost: $32.50

Sample Size: 29 ml

Value: $4

So I have a full size of this I have never tried. I plan to chuck this with my travel stuff because a detangler is great to like have with you and i never really see small size ones.

Clarins Super Restorative Day Cream

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $132

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $13.20

I just don’t really ever see the hype in Clarins products they don’t often do anything special for me. This is going to be pretty thick I can assume already.

Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme+ Youth Power Creme

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $98

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $9.80

This is another cream that I know is going to be thick but I usually get on better with Estee Lauder skincare then Clarins.

Ahava Deadsea Water Mineral Body Lotion in Sea-kissed

Full Size: 250 ml

Full Size Cost: $31

Sample Size: 40 ml

Value: $4.96

I like Ahava lotions I don’t mind having another one of these even though this is another product we get in the Macy’s Box constantly.


Well I am happy with the amount of products we got this month even though alot are misses for me I don’t love that this feels like a box of leftovers of things we have gotten frequently in the past. Also a pretty low value for Macy’s not super pleased with that either.

A good box even though it was very late which isn’t usual for Macy’s but that makes two months in a row.

Bare Minerals Mineralist Lasting Matte Liquid Lipstick in Spirited

Full Size: 3.5 ml

Full Size Cost: $22

Sample Size: 1.3 ml

Value: $8.17

I love matte lipsticks and this is a really pretty color I look forward to giving this a wear test and seeing how it goes. Swatched Below.

Nudestix Nudies Matte Lux All Over Face Blush Color in Rosy Posy

Full Size: 7 g

Full Size Cost: $34

Sample Size: 1.8 g

Value: $8.74

I don’t know why it wont let me upload this picture but this plus is very pink. I love the texture but not so much the color. Swatched Below.

3ina The Color Pen Eyeliner in 850 Blue

Full Size: 1 ml

Full Size Cost: $15.95

This is very pretty and smooth and I really like it it comes in a ton of colors too. I love that it isn’t another black eyeliner.

Mac Magic Extension Mascara in Extensive Black

Full Size: 11 ml

Full Size Cost: $26

Sample Size: 3 ml

Value: $7.09

I love fiber mascaras but I don’t typically love Mac mascaras so TBD we’ll see.

Mineral Fusion Nail Polish in Pretty in Pink

Full Size: 10 ml

Full Size Cost: $9.99

This nail polish brand sucks and this color is not my taste.

Valentino Born in Roma Coral Fantasy Perfume

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $138

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $1.67

I wanted to buy a full size of this so its great to have a sample.

Valentino Born in Roma Coral Fantasy Cologne

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $100

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $1.20

Will always love that they give men’s colognes makes the box very inclusive.

Compact Bag?

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $?

Uh I don’t even know what to call this its like a little zipper pouch but then it has a mirror that flips out. It is very weird and feels very Dollar Tree-ish.
