Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: So Macy’s has hopped on the subscription box bandwagon and this is their first box. Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon, 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 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 dollar 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 that is still basically free.

Really got this (and all my boxes still waiting on a few of them) really late this month. I also thought I was really going to like this bag when I saw it because it is a see through shiny material but it is so stiff and small and hard to open that it really sucks.

Lancome L’Absolu Lacquer in 378 Be Unique

Full Size: 8 ml

Full Size Cost: $26

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $4.88

This is such a tiny sample. And so crazy bright pink I don’t like pink lipsticks or like sticky glossy lacquer type lip products at all so this is a no go for me. It is much brighter in person then in the swatch.

TonyMoly Master Lab Intensive Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Sheet Mask

Full Size: 1 mask

Full Size Cost: $4

Sample Size: 1 mask

Value: $4

This was the thinnest and smallest face mask I have ever used. At first I was skeptical but those qualities made it fit my face so much better then any other sheet mask I have ever tried. It made my skin feel firm and but a little sticky and tacky so I don’t know that I love it but I don’t hate it either.

Urban Decay All-Nighter Setting Spray

Full Size: 4 oz

Full Size Cost: $32

Sample Size: 0.5 oz

Value: $4

$4 seems to be a real theme for this box here doesn’t it?  This is the OG of setting sprays I have now 3 or 4 samples sizes which is kinda cool because I have almost a full size amount with all my samples lol. This is a great setting pray it doesn’t make my face feel sticky which I love.

Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Honey Mask

Full Size: 2.5 oz

Full Size Cost: $34

Sample Size: 0.5 oz

Value: $6.80

I love charcoal masks and I love honey masks so I am very excited for this mask. I think this is supposed to be a new version of their regular charcoal mask that I like but I am not crazy about so this should be cool to try.

It Cosmetics Confidence in an Eye Cream

Full Size: 60 ml

Full Size Cost: $48

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $4

Another eye cream not that special but I hate the packaging on this it is like twice as large as it needs to be so this like not even a tiny sample I would want to travel with because it is super bulky.

Juicy Couture Oui Perfume

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $105

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $5.25

I actually saw and bought this perfume a few days before I got this month’s box so it is safe to say that I love this sample. I love all the Juicy Couture perfumes this one is really pretty but not in a girly florally way. I love it.

Very low value this month. I really liked getting the masks and the setting spray but it wasn’t as good as the previous months have been at all. This is such a hit or miss subscription.

Macy’s has been consistently better I was both excited and a little annoyed by this bag. For starters the bag just looks cheap with a huge Macy’s logo on it feels like a gift with purchase type of thing. The products in side are really cool and unique this month the problem for me is I just fucking r eorganized all my skincare and bath and body products and committed to using up all the open ones before opening new things. So it is going to be a bit before I open any of these but Macy’s didn’t know that lol.

Benefit Porefessional Primer

Full Size: 0.75 oz

Full Size Cost: $31

Sample Size: 0.1 oz

Value: $4.13

This is the original must have pore filling primer. It is an ok primer but it is far from my favorite primer. It is just lackluster I think the whole buzz about it was just that it was kinda one of the first pore filling primers. Also why are Benefit samples so freaking tiny, adorable but tiny.

Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-Aging Daily Serum

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $162

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $16.20

I just finished up two serums so I will add this into rotation soon. It is a pricey serum, most Elizabeth Arden things are though but their packaging always makes me feel like eh like drugstore or boring.

Lancôme Bi-Facil Double Action Makeup Remover

Full Size: 1.7 oz

Full Size Cost: $15

Sample Size: 50 ml

Value: $15

So excited for this one I love bi phase eye makeup removers for travel, yes I know that that is a really odd thing and very weirdly specific. My favorite it the Sephora one because it does not sting my eyes or leave my contacts gross feeling. This is so raved about that I am so excited to try it and see how it compares to my favorite. I love that they gave us the full travel size as well since these do last a long time this should last me for a long time I don’t go through liquid eye makeup remover very fast.

Rituals The Ritual of Hammam Refreshing Foaming Shower Gel

Full Size: 200 ml

Full Size Cost: $15

Sample Size: 50 ml

Value: $3.75

This sounds like it is going to be really cool. I like moussey foamy shower products. The scent is Eucalyptus and Rosemary. Rosemary scents I love but Eucalyptus not so much.

Clarins Tonic Body Treatment

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $64

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $6.40

This I am really excited for I love body oils and this one is supposed to be firming. It is probably only good for like 2 or 3 uses it is so tiny so I will probably save this for traveling since I usually can never bring an oil since all my are giant sized.

Giorgio Armani Sì Passione Perfume

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $116

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $1.39

Finally another little perfume I tend to just grab 2 or 3 or 4 or these when I take a trip and just use them up that way or if I just really want to try something different.  This is supposed to be a blackcurrant and woodsy type scent.

Really good value this month and alot of really cool and different type of products like the body oil ad the shower foam I am really happy with this months box and excited to try every thing.
