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 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.
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.
I was so close to meeting my monthly value “goal” so close like off by like 30 dollars. Ugh.
Skincare (7)
Exuviance Vitamin C Serum Capsules there were only three in this pack and It was perfect for my 3 night vacation. Not enough to say it does anything but it felt nice on these capsules had the perfect amount in them unlike the Elizabeth Arden ones.
Repurchase: Probably not
Murad City Skin Overnight Detox Moisturizer I think this broke me out but it was hard to tell. I didn’t love this it was fine as a moisturizer made my skin feel good but I don’t think it was $74 special.
Repurchase: No
Too Cool for School Egg Cream Mask this was fine a really nice face mask my skin felt really great after but not anymore great than any other sheet mask. I am pretty like eh I’ll use what ever.
Repurchase: No
Purlisse Blue Lotus 4 in 1 Eye Adore Serum this was pretty meh it was moisturizing but I did not see any 4 in 1 effect or firming and depuffing and whatever.
Repurchase: No
Makeup Revolution Skincare Pick-Me-Not Blemish Patches these are ok. They are very clear and they get the job done but they don’t stick as well as some other patches I have tried.
Repurchase: No
Biore Rose Quartz + Charcoal Daily Purifying Cleanser hated this so so so much. So did my gf this was our face wash for vacation and we both didn’t like it. Why does it have glitter in it? It did not make my skin feel clean. I am decluttering the other one that I have of these as well because awful.
Repurchase: No
Clinique Fresh Pressed Renewing Powder Cleanser I don’t like having to mix my own cleansers but if you do like that this is a good brightening cleanser.
Repurchase: No
Random (2)
Axe Phoenix Antiperspirant I don’t like this I don’t love the scent and I don’t find it super effective. I just got them for very very cheap and use them for travel.
Repurchase: No
FCS OCD Hand Sanitizer in Oogie Boogie these are practically the only hand sanitizers I use. I really like the formula of these gel ones with out the glitter and the green color and Nightmare Before Christmas theming is right up my alley.
Repurchase: Yes
Home Scents (1)
Trader Joe’s Super Lemon Room Spritz this is amazing. It is so good at refreshing a room and dispelling smells and I love the lemon scent. And it is dirt cheap.
Repurchase: YES
Lip (1)
FCS Lip Shine in Strawberry Smoothie this tasted so good but I don’t love glossy lip products and it was so hard to put on with this mini popsicle design. Adorable sure but functional not so much.
Repurchase: No
Makeup (3)
Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer this is one of my all-time favorite bronzers I have been traveling with this mini for ages. And I am super sad to see it go. I still have a full size and one in a palette but the mini was so convenient. It is a perfect cool bronzer that can be bronzer and contour so it is really great for minimalizing my makeup when I pack.
Repurchase: Yes, I own it in a full size, but if there was a mini I would probably buy it also
It Cosmetics Superhero Liner one of my favorite gel liners super easy to get a thick black wing with this that last through everything and anything.
Repurchase: Yes
Glamnetic Liquid Magnetic Eyeliner I really liked this and the magnetic lashes when I first tried them but this dried out so quickly and it is really expensive so I am not a fan of that this dried out in like less then 6 months. And full price is $38 that is not ok.
Repurchase: I don’t know I have another to try and hope that was a fluke
Lotion (3)
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion this was fine. Not really scented fine moisturizing I used it as a body lotion on vacation and it was fine. I prefer my lotions to be more fun scented.
Repurchase: No
Barefoot Scientist High Dive this was nice and hydrating but nothing fancy. I am pretty sure I have tried another mini packet of this before and I still feel ambivalent.
Repurchase: No
FCS Sugar Rush Body Frosting I love the body frostings they are just such a unique texture and feel almost like an oil. But this one kinda sucked the scent smelled weird to me from the second I got it and there was too much dye in it so it left red streaks all over my skin and my sheets.
Repurchase: Not this one
Perfume (4)
Burberry Blossom Her this was fine light girly not super my thing.
Repurchase: No
Nest Body Mist in Ocean Mist & Coconut Water this was nice. This was really nice. I hate expensive Nest products are but this was really nice.
Repurchase: Maybe
Prada Candy Perfume this was very sweet and strong I didn’t super care for it but my gf liked it on my so I would consider a mini size.
Repurchase: Maybe
Pinrose Wild Child Perfume I liked this it was nice and summery but I would not purchase it over my favorite Gilded Fox.
Repurchase: No
Haircare (3)
Dry Bar Detox Dry Conditioner this is fine this is sorta like “washing” your hair with out water to get like one more day out of dirty hair. You definitely can’t use this multiple days in a row it will start to get sticky in your hair this is for emergencies only lol.
Repurchase: Maybe
Verb Ghost Oil I really like this oil it is smooth and gloss and absorbs well with out being heavy.
Repurchase: Yes
Drybar Liquid Glass Miracle Smoothing Sealant this was fine but unimpressive I rather use the Ghost Oil from above.
Repurchase: No
Declutter (6)
Biore Rose Quartz + Charcoal Daily Purifying Cleanser hated this talked about it above in the one I finished.
Nudestix Nudies All Over Face Color in Illumi-Naughty this is more like a dewy balmy glow on my rather than a pretty cream highlight and that is just not something I am super into so it can go. And not take up space in my life for the off chance I might want a balmy glow once.
Lottie London am to pm Eyeliner in Black super smudgey and smeary no thank you.
Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Monaco I do love this formula but the metallic mauve is just not a shade I like on me.
FCS Let is Shine Lip Plumping Oil Treatment I gave myself months to try to use this and I just never wanted to. A glossy plumping lip thing is just not my vibe it was stingy it wasn’t hydrating it just was not for me.
Tony Moly Mini Berry Lip Balm in Cherry I don’t like this it is super cute but it doesn’t taste good it is tinted and I don’t want a tinted potted balm its too messy and inconvenient.
JR Watkins Aromatherapy In-Shower Mist in Detox (not pictured) I ended up returning this because I was so disappointed it was supposed to steam up your shower and smell nice it didn’t do either of those things at all.
Boxycharm sends out 4 to 5 full size items every month which makes it really unique among the boxes I subscribe to. It is a nice change to get all full size products especially for $25 which is usually less then the cost of one item in the box. Boxycharm also joined the customization train and you can choose between a few items to have one in your box for the month. I really like that because Boxycharm was getting to the point where I was only liking one thing in my box and even though the value was there the fun wasn’t anymore.
If you would like to subscribe you can use my referral link HERE. I don’t get anything other then points but would really appreciate it but do as you feel comfortable you are also welcome to use the link in the header that leads to the regular homepage.
You can also review your products and get “charms” which are their versions of points that you can use as money off in their shop.
Super odd products this much which also really make up for not liking the palette at all for me.
The swirl is so cute! I have wanted to try this brand for so long but it seems so pricey for what it is so it is super exciting to me to get something from Truly. This feels really nice on really smooth it is glossy but not sticky and I really like it.
This was my choice for the month. I want to see how it compares to Grande lash which I use and does work. This is more month but ti is always nice to compare things to your favorites to make sure the favorites hold up.
This is a firming body oil. I don’t think this is gona do anything because shit like this never works. And i just don’t like Frank Body marketing it seems cheesy and very backhanded idk.
These colors as you know are not my jam very neutral and everyday. I am sure they are super nice and smooth but I rather be able to pass this on.
I really liked the variety and the lip butter and the eyelash thing and the spray things we don’t every really get but also really low value and the palette which is a big value chunk is not my speed. Two months in a row I got a palette I won’t use.
