Macy’s Beauty Box November 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.


I love when they do a take over box I actually really like getting to try a bunch of products from the same range. I have actually used all of these products before.

Bumble and Bumble Comb

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $5.21

I used to have a comb like this that I would use in the shower when I was doing hair masks and it just disappeared into the abyss and I never replaced it and now I have a new one yay.

Bumble and Bumble Hairdressers Invisible Oil Shampoo

Full Size: 473 ml

Full Size Cost: $49

Sample Size: 7ml x2

Value: $1.45

Bumble and Bumble Hairdressers Invisible Oil Conditioner

Full Size: 473 ml

Full Size Cost: $51

Sample Size: 7ml x2

Value: $1.83

They could have at least included a full travel size set lets be real this is kinda ridiculous. I don’t like this shampoo and conditioner it is too heavy on my hair and leaves it feeling almost waxy but my hair is way to damage for this this better if you have more course unmanageable hair.

Bumble and Bumble Thickening Dry Spun Texture Spray

Full Size: 120 g

Full Size Cost: $36

Sample Size: 17 g

Value: $5.10

This is a really thickening Texture spray it adds alot of hold.

Bumble and Bumble Heat Shield Thermal Protection Mist

Full Size: 124 ml

Full Size Cost: $36

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $8.71

I find all heat protectants a little sticky and not my favorite thing to use this one is fine I’ve used it it isn’t my favorite I wouldnt buy it but if I have it I will use it.

Bumble and Bumble Bond Building Repair Treatment

Full Size: 125 ml

Full Size Cost: $37

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $8.88

I love this I use it it makes my hair feel better not as good as Olaplex but it think its cheaper and the process to use it isn’t so intense.

Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat/UV Protective Primer

Full Size: 125 ml

Full Size Cost: $22

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $5.28

I like the concept of this because a UV primer would be super useful for my dies hair but this is just to heavy and sticky for my hair in makes my hair gross.


Well not a terribly great value for this box I find that is usually the case with the take over boxes but I still prefer them from an experience point of view.

This is all new stuff for a change so that is really nice. Macy’s has been slacking a bit for awhile now so it is good to see.

Diana Madison Beauty The Glow Factor Sheet Mask

Full Size: 5 masks

Full Size Cost: $40

Sample Size: 1 mask

Value: $8

Never heard of this brand before. I am sure this is a really nice mask I will pass it on to someone else they will get good use out of it.

Skin Gym Red Carpet VIP Gold Foil Face Mask

Full Size: 1 Mask

Full Size Cost: $8

I like the Skin gym brand well enough so this will be fun to use I might try to use this today actually while I’m working. My skin has been not its best lately.

Lancome Clarifique Pro-Solution

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $19.83

I am actually really excited to try this it is supposed to help with acne spots and pores and those are things i still mainly have my problems with so this is going to be a really cool thing to try out since I wouldn’t spend the money to try.

Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Soft Cream

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $76

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $10.64

This is a moisturizer I don’t always get on with Khiels products but I will give a go all the same. It doesn’t appear to have a scent which is good I hate when there’s a scent to fancy moisturizer.

Kopari Moisture Whipped Ceramide Cream

Full Size: 60 ml

Full Size Cost: $42

Sample Size: 20 ml

Value: $14

I haven’t gotten the chance to really try anything from Kopari. I don’t love that they put two face moisturizers in the same box but it is what it is this has a nice texture but seems like it is going to be heavy I will probably hold this off until the winter.

Giorgio Armani My Way Parfum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $110

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $4.40

I forgot how expensize this perfume was. I haven’t ever tried it but have wanted to this is totally coming on my next trip with me.

Valentino Donna Born in Roma Perfume

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $3.40

I like the way this perfume smells I almost bought a full size once so I will happily use this up its very feminine but not too flowery.

Skincare Headband

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $5

A purple terrycloth skincare headband I feel like everyone who likes or uses these kind of things already has one but its nice to get fresh ones.


This is a much better box than last month for sure. Better items that I will use and a higher value.

Not my most favorite Macy’s box this month that’s for sure

Givenchy Irresistible Rose Velvet Perfume

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $87

Sample Size: 1 ml

Value: $2.90

I can’t use rose perfume so this is a no for me.

Clarins Lip Comfort Oil in 01 Honey

Full Size: 7 ml

Full Size Cost: $28

Sample Size: 1.4 ml

Value: $5.60

This has rose oil in it so I can’t use it but I am pretty sure I have tried these before and they are super sticky.

Smashbox Photo Finish Control Mattifying Primer

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $42

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $7

This primer is fine but it better under makeup and I have a few mini tubes of this more then I really need. I prefer primers I can wear on their own because I do like a light layer of primer sometimes even if I don’t want to wear foundation.

It Cosmetics Superhero Mascara in Waterproof

Full Size: 9 ml

Full Size Cost: $28

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $15.56

I hate waterproof mascara so this is also not for me. I don’t love Superhero mascara though I find it really dry and spikey.

Lancome Idole Ultra Precise Waterproof Liner

Full Size: 1 ml

Full Size Cost: $23

Sample Size: 0.6 ml

Value: $13.80

I have this liner in the full size and it is really black and really liquidy but also really hard to work with and really smeary if I am not careful.

Blotting Papers

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $4

These are unbranded blotting papers I just linked to the Nyx ones because they are affordable.

Mac Fix+ Stay Over Setting Spray

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $33

Sample Size: 13 ml

Value: $4.29

This is the only thing in the box that I am keeping but I really like Mac Fix plus so that is good. even though this box was a dud for me personally.
