Macy’s Beauty Box October 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.


Tarte Travel Size Maracuja Juicy Lip Creme in Mauve

Full Size: 1.3 g

Full Size Cost: $13

This is creamy and a nice color I will give this a whirl for sure it didn’t seem to sticky but it seems kinda smeary so I will have to see how it wears. I think I might bring this on vacation with me. And if it sucks I can leave it behind and lighten my return load lol.

Cyro Facial Ice Mold

Full Size: Yes?

Full Size Cost: $3.99

I linked to a random one I found on amazon it is alot bigger but this seems like a fair price. I don’t know that I will I don’t love cold things and refrigerated rollers are already to cold for me but it might be good at making water bottle ice cubes we shall see.

Caudalie Vinopure Purifying Gel Cleanser

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $6

I don’t get on with Caudalie and they send a ton of it in these boxes I will pass this on but I’m sure its nice. I also have more than enough face wash.

BeautyStat Universal C Skin Refiner

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

I love a good fancy Vitamin C serum I will happily use this up.

I have tried this product so many times over. Its like a classic I think we get on a year. I am not super into lip plumpers or glosses they hurt and are sticky.

Certainly not the greatest box for me but let get into this.

Carolina Herrera Good Girl Perfume

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $117

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $3.51

I don’t like this scent it is too strong and perfumey for my tastes.

Mugler Alien Elixir Perfume

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $150

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $3.60

Pink Jaw Clip

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $7.99

I linked to the most similar thing I found. I never use claw clips I feel like they are heavy and hurt my head and I’m just not a claw clip girl.

Lancome Juicy Tubes in Marshmallow Electro

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $11.20

These are a classic but so damn sticky and glittery and very 90s which like is on trend but ugh there are much better formulas.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Soft Brown

Full Size: 0.085 g

Full Size Cost: $25

Sample Size: 0.03 g

Value: $8.82

This is way to light of a shade for me. I also find the brow wiz to be too firm for my liking.

Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara Mini

Full Size: 5 ml

Full Size Cost: $15

The packaging on this mascara is super cute but it is super dry. I don’t love this but I don’t hate it. If I didn’t have a ton of mascara I would keep and use it but since I do I will pass it along.

Fekkai Full Blown Volume Shampoo

Full Size: 2 oz

Full Size Cost: $9

Fekkai Full Blown Volume Conditioner

Full Size: 2 oz

Full Size Cost: $9

I don’t usually like volumizing products but I really like Fekkai stuff so this is the only thing in the box I’m actually going to use.


Really disappointed in this box Nothing here was really suited for me.

Walmart Fall 2023 Beauty Box Subscription Box Review

Walmart Beauty Box

Cost: $6.98

Cycle: Every Quarter/Season

What is it: Every season Walmart sends a little sample products of all sorts of health and beauty type items. It used to be a free sample box with $5 shipping. But they have now changed it to a $6.98 box with free shipping with the promise of better and more full size items.


Another box with some really large size items.

Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser

Full Size: 237 ml

Full Size Cost: $8.74

Sample Size: 30 ml

Total Value: $1.11

I don’t really care for this cleanser but my gf likes it is very simple very basic gentle cleanser.

Ariana Grande Thank You Next Body Mist

Full Size: 236 ml

Full Size Cost: $9.98

Sample Size: 50 ml

Total Value: $2.11

Nice travel size item to have. The scent is a little too musky for my tastes I will just pass this on I wish it was cloud that one smells so much better.

Covergirl Cleantopia Plant Powered Mascara in 800

Full Size: 9.5 ml

Full Size Cost: $10.48

This is a newer mascara. I have my doubts about it being good i feel like this vibe of more natural mascara never is that great but the packaging is super cute the shape is unique it has a nice soft feel to it and its worth more than the whole box.

Kiss imPress Press-on Falsies

Full Size: 31 lashes and applicator

Full Size Cost: $19.99

Sample Size: 8 lashes and tweezers

Total Value: $6.00

I thought this was a full size package but it is just a sample pack but is more then enough to get the vibe of if you like this kind of thing or not. It also come with mini tweezers that even if you don’t like the lashes still has decent value to it.

T.Taio Esponjabon Mother of Pearl Lightening Effect

Full Size: 120 g

Full Size Cost: $4.79

Sample Size: 60 g

Total Value: $2.40

This feels like one of those old fashioned type of beauty secret type of products. It says it can be used on face and body I don’t really know what or if I will use this I am keeping it for now while I decide I’m not much of a bar soap person but this is really soft and squishy and has a loofah embedded in it which I find really cool and interesting. We certainly don’t see things like this in boxes ever.

4U By Tia Leave-In Curl Cream

Full Size: 177 ml

Full Size Cost: $10.97

Sample Size: 59 ml

Total Value: $3.66

We get curl cream pretty regularly in the Walmart box.

They also sent along a little foundation sampler but I am not counting this towards the item count.


This was a really good box just not a good box for me personally.
