Macy’s Beauty Box

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.

So the products sent this month definitely feel appropriate to the weather/season but the item doesn’t but I can leave with that plus it is a really useful kind of item no matter what the season is even if its technically a travel accessory and were not really doing that.

Travel Container Set

Full Size: 1 set

Full Size Cost: $10.00

Sample Size: 1 set

Value: $10.00

So obviously this set isn’t for sale but the Samsonite one I found is really really similar. This is a good little set of bottles I use things like this all time for repotting items if the packaging breaks or if I really hate the original packaging stuff like that. And I hate buying them.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Cologne

Full Size: 74 ml

Full Size Cost: $70

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $1.42

I like how they always include a cologne it makes it feel more inclusive. Plus you can share them if you don’t want them.

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Le Bubbly

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $79

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $2.37

Every year I always get the new perfume for the year from Juicy I have a whole collection. Some years are great some are not my taste this year is a nice light fun scent so it is up my alley for sure.

Kiehl’s Calendula Petal-Infused Calming Mask

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $45

Sample Size: 14 ml

Value: $6.30

I have had this before I remember liking it but I don’t remember much else about it. I do really like calming mask for when My skin freaks out so this is great to have on hand.

Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $55

Sample Size: 14 ml

Value: $5.13

I don’t love this I don’t think it is worth the high price tag and it is a bit stick and feels like it is just trying to do to many things at once on the skin. Not my most favorite thing but I will use it up.

Shiseido Essential Energy Moisturizing Gel Cream

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $48

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $9.60

Always excited to try things from Shiseido. This has a nice light texture that I am a big fan of. I also think this is going to get used up really fast when I start using it though it does not feel like a little will go a long way with this.

GrandeLips Hydrating Lip Plumper in Midnight Shimmer

Full Size: 0.04 oz (Travel)

Full Size Cost: $14

Sample Size: 0.04 oz

Value: $14

So we have received this in a full size in this shade from Macy’s before it was supposed to be a clear lip liner and I am pretty annoyed at the replacement. Like Macy’s really does need to get their shit together there are replacement items almost every month. Swatched Below.

Bare Minerals Mineralist Lipstick in Honesty

Full Size: 3.6 g

Full Size Cost: $20

Sample Size: 1.8 g

Value: $10

This shows up very pink and it is very creamy two things I don’t like so I don’t see this working out for me to well. I want to like Bare Minerals but I just never find colors that interest me from them.
