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 came super late like last day of August late. Also really not overly pleased with this months box.

Blush Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $1

This is legit something you could pick up at dollar tree. Like no I refuse to be impressed about this item. Its not even soft.

Chella Mini La Vie Neutral Eyeshadow Palette

Full Size: 4 g

Full Size Cost: $20

I won’t swatch this because I won’t use this but this is a great inclusion it it a cute little travel palette you can get a whole look from it. Some one will be really happy when They get this.

Bodyography Eye Pencil in Bali Bronze

Full Size: 1.1 g

Full Size Cost: $11

Not a terribly unique color to get in a box but it is smooth and pretty and I will use it and it is full size so it is not the worst thing that could be included in this box and it does give fall vibes.

Origins Ginzing Brightening Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $44

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $7.33

I don’t typically love things from this line so I am going to give it to my girlfriend and let her use it up.

Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara

Full Size: 0.33 oz

Full Size Cost: $27

Sample Size: 20.06 oz

Value: $4.91

I don’t really like this mascara it is heavy and makes my eyes itch. I really hate that they couldn’t even give us a full travel size like why. It has to cost more money to produce this smaller size then to just make more travel size ones. you know economy of scale and all that.

Dior Forever Foundation Card

I refuse to give this a value. This is a free sample like absolutely not should this be a thing you are considering an actual item.

Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Cologne

Full Size: 4.2 oz

Full Size Cost: $105

Sample Size: 0.05 oz

Value: $1.25

This is a pretty old cologne so that’s a bit of a bummer.

Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Perfume

Full Size: 3.4 oz

Full Size Cost: $122

Sample Size: 0.05 oz

Value: $1.79

I didn’t know that this brand made women’s perfume so that is pretty cool to try.

Really just not happy with this box this month it was super late the items kinda suck like just not great.

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.

This was just a mix of odd choices and repeats. There feels to be no consistent theme with Macy’s anymore.

Macy’s Shower Cap

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $5

I just linked to a shower cap of similar quality but like what an odd thing to add. I won’t use this.

Clean Classic Rain Perfume

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $44

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $1.85

This smells nice very light very non offensive not strong I’ll definitely give it a go.

Tony Moly I’m Red Wine Sheet Mask

Full Size: 1 mask

Full Size Cost: $3

I like these masks just fine I don’t feel like they do a ton they are just genericly hydrating and and nice to wear they are comfortable.

Mineral Fusion Nail Polish Remover

Full Size: 89 ml

Full Size Cost: $6.99

Alight I can say I don’t think I have ever received nail polish in a box before. We got a nail polish from this brand before and it was terrible so I feel like this nail polish remover is not going to be great either.

Rituals The Ritual of Sakura Foaming Shower Gel

Full Size: 200 ml

Full Size Cost: $12.50

Sample Size: 50 ml

Value: $3.13

I haven’t liked any of these that I have tried but I always want to so I will continue to try them. I just always feel like the scents lean too perfumey for me to end up liking them.

Clarins Body Fit Anti-Cellulite Contouring Expert

Full Size: 200 ml

Full Size Cost: $72

Sample Size: 8 ml

Value: $2.88

Well I thought this wouldn’t be enough for one full use but it was. I didn’t really feel anything special from it no tingling or anything like that. Obviously I can’t see any results from one use.

Mario Badescu Coconut Body Scrub

Full Size: 170 g

Full Size Cost: $14

Sample Size: 14 g

Value: $1.15

I am super picky about my scrubs and this was not for me it was not scrubby enough and it sorta melted away as I was using it which I hate.

This is weird because this is not a selections of items I would have mostly chosen but also the two things that I was most interested in I have actually already used which is a great and the ideal but I am just not super excited about it.
