Macy’s Beauty Box September 2021 Subscription Box Review

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.


Wow Macy’s came super early this month.

Tony Moly I’m Lavender Sheet Mask

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $3

Basic sheet mask these are a good affordable sheet mask option.

Clarins Extra-Firming Energy Day Cream

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $88

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $8.80

Cute little day cream. Super tiny though this is like 3 uses tops. Kinda annoying.

Mineral Fusion Nail Lacquer in Sea Salt

Full Size: 10 ml

Full Size Cost: $8.99

This is a much prettier color on then in the bottle it is like a beigey pink, but this polish is awful. It is really streaky the brush is too big and bendy and picks up to much paint. It takes forever to dry and needs a ton of coats to look smooth. This is going right in the trash it is awful.

Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl

Full Size: 80 ml

Full Size Cost: $132

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $2.48

These perfumes are way to strong for my liking but my mom liked it.

Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Le Parfum

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $108

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $1.62

I still love that they include a male cologne sample in every box it makes is so inclusive and costs them nothing.

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey

Full Size: 0.07 oz

Full Size Cost: $17

Sample Size: ?

Value: $8?

I hate this lipstick I have always hated it I think its so patchy I don’t love the color or the feel it is an overhyped lip balm. But it is nice so see Macy’s include this currently hard to get because it went viral on TikTok item. Swatched Below.

Bare Minerals Mineralist Lip Gloss Balm in Sincerity

Full Size: 0.13 oz

Full Size Cost: $20

Sample Size: 0.06 oz

Value: $9.23

I am fairly certain I am not going to like this. It is a sticky lip gloss. It is a pretty shade not too different from Black Honey to be honest.

Black Honey on top

Sincerity on the bottom


Well there was alot in this bag but nothing to particularly thrill me.

Hey we got a bag this month, it has been awhile and the bag is cute!

Versace Dylan Turquoise

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $84

Sample Size: 1 ml

Value: $1.68

I normally save these for travel and stuff but I think this perfume smells so good I am probably just gona use it right now and enjoy it. It is very summer and fruity but fancy.

Clinique Moisture Surge 100h Auto-Replenishing Hydrator

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $14

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $14

This is just a very nice light gel moisturizer nothing special but definitely feels nice on. I really don’t believe the 100h claims that feels so ridiculous and over dramatic.

Shiseido Ultimate Protector Lotion SPF 50+

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $49

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $2.29

This is one of my favorite sunscreens every. It is light it isn’t sticky or weird feeling it literally feels like nothing and doesn’t break me out or give me and allergic reaction. I wish it wasn’t $49 because I would buy it all the time but it is so expensive for something I would go through pretty quickly because a little does not go along way with this product but it is so damn good.

Coola Sun Silk Drops SPF 30

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $46

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $7.67

This is a sunscreen that has always intrigued me but again pricey so I never want to buy it. The packaging I love it is so pretty and it feels so nice in my hand it is heavy glass but has that soft touch on it and the dropper is convenient.

Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Smoothing Anti-Frizz Blowout Butter

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $34

Sample Size: 25 ml

Value: $5.67

Alterna products are really hit or miss for me I rarely heat style my hair let alone blow it out so I don’t know if I will end up keeping this.

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Oil-in-Stick Hydrating Lipstick Balm in Rouge Tuxedo

Full Size: 3.2 g

Full Size Cost: $38

Sample Size: 1.5 g?

Value: $17.81

This is very comfortable but it also is very slippy and this is a very bright color to have in that texture. It is a really pretty color but I don’t know how much use I will get out of it. I hate how secretive these luxury brands are with the size of their products like just let me know how much product I am getting with out having to do a bunch of research and guessing.

Grande Cosmetics Grande Lips Hydrating Lip Plumper in Clear

Full Size: 2.48 ml

Full Size Cost: $27

Sample Size: 1 ml?

Value: $10.89

I have tried these before they are nice but like not worth the high price for the little amount of product. Stick with the lash and brow serums that actually do something.


Well it was a nice mix of things this month but the sizes are very small.

Macy’s Beauty Box June 2021 Subscription Box Review

Cost: $15

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.

Still lamenting the loss of the coupon. It used to get me in the store every month and usually I spent at least a dollar or two more then the coupon. I haven’t been to Macy’s once since they changed the coupon. Seems like a bad business practice from them a loss leader like that really drives traffic into the store and they are losing that by changing the coupon and creating bad will with their customers.

Travel Pill Case

Value: $3.50

So I linked to something similar that comes in a two pack from amazon and then estimated a price this is smaller then those but also looks sturdier. I don’t really use travel pill cases. But this is such a cool little box with all the compartments I am sure Ill find a use for it. Even if I just use it to organize my lip rings or something.

Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo

Full Size: 100 g

Full Size Cost: $23

Sample Size: 10 g

Value: $2.30

This is my all time favorite dry shampoo and I am super happy to have another one because I wasn’t letting myself buy it until I worked thru the few that I have and it takes me months to get threw dry shampoo. This doesn’t make my hair feel as dry and sticky as other dry shampoos plus it smells so good.

Elizabeth Arden Retinol Capsules

Full Size: 30 capsules

Full Size Cost: $51

Sample Size: 7 capsules

Value: $11.90

I have accumulated a few vials of these (mostly all from Macy’s) and have yet to ever try them because they just seem so inconvenient to use. I really need to pull them all together and use them strictly and see if they are worth the price.

Clarins Total Eye Lift

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $89

Sample Size: 3 ml

Value: $17.80

I love expensive eye creams so this will get used up and the tube is super cute. I am always curious about Clarins as a brand I feel like I don’t see them often or try them often.

Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $78

Sample Size: 8 ml

Value: $20.80

This is like stupid expensive. I have tried it and I don’t think it does anything at all but also I have only used it in really small doses so maybe that is the reason.

Mac Fix+

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $29

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $1.45

This is the tiniest cutest little bottle of Fix + like so adorable. Unfortunately this is like 2 uses. Fix + really is so great like it really makes your make up and skin look and feel so good and it has a great sprayer and it is so amazing. But also so expensive.

Armani Beauty Lip Maestro Liquid Lipstick in 501 Casual Pink

Full Size: 6.6 ml

Full Size Cost: $38

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $8.64

This is a super pretty color and it is really light and comfortable but I wish it fully dried down. I feel super fancy having an Armani Lipstick even if it is itty bitty.

Ralph Lauren Romance

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $58

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $2.32

Ralph Lauren Deep Blue Cologne

Full Size: ml

Full Size Cost: $85
