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.

Heavy skincare box this month. Mostly made up of things I unfortunately have tried and not really enjoyed.

Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $114

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $22.80

I don’t think this serum really does anything but I know it is well loved.

Perricone MD Firming and Brightening Eye Cream

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $75

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $25

I have used this eye cream for a while one time and I didn’t find it to firm or brighten and it is expensive compared to eye creams I really do like and find effective. Perricone kinda never seems to work that well for me.

First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser

Full Size: 142 g

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 28.3 g

Value: $4.78

This is a creamy kinda cleanser not really my favorite it is gentle but that isn’t something I am usually looking for so this just isn’t the face wash for me but if you have really sensitive or dry or irritated skin this is probably perfect for you.

Foldable Tote Bag

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $2.88

This is really nice. Its pretty big feels pretty sturdy and it folds up very useful.

Origins Checks and Balances Milky Oil Cleanser

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $31

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $3.10

I love trying new oil makeup removers so I am super excited for this. I don’t like the original foamy check and balances wash but I have high hopes for this.

Sunday Riley B3 Nice 10% Niacinamide Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $65

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $10.83

I absolutely love niacinamide serums and I love Sunday Riley so this is great for me to get.

Walmart Spring 2024 Beauty Box Subscription Box Review

nightmareb4

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.

Love my Walmart box I always get excited when it shows up.

Dove Dry Spray in Cool Essentials

Full Size: 28 g

Full Size Cost: $2.59

This is one of my preferred travel deodorants so I am pumped to get it because why are travel sized deodorants so damn expensive. This is cooling when it goes on and smells really refreshing and clean.

Garnier Whole Blends Honey Treasures Restoring Solid Shampoo Bar

Full Size: 60 g

Full Size Cost: $7.99

Personally I do not like solid shampoo bars I find the mechanical suds action of them to be really harsh on my hair and even though this says its for my hair type I am just too nervous to use it. The scent of this is so strong like i can smell it two feet away from me. It is very honey but also a little floral.

No7 Future Renew Damage Reversal Day Cream SPF 25

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $25.98

Sample Size: 5 ml

Total Value: $2.60

I like No7 ok an always nice to have a face sunscreen.

Vitamasques Acai Berry Sheet Mask

Full Size: 1 Mask

Full Size Cost: $3.00

Yay another sheet mask I have so many I really need to force myself to use one a week I just have to.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Cream

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $22.97

Sample Size: 3 ml

Total Value: $1.38

I love this Moisturizer but it doen’t have any active properties so I never buy it but I will immediately use this up this week. It is so light and feels so nice. I have loved everything I have tried from this line.

Fantastic box for me 3 full size items and only one thing I personally won’t use. Can’t beat that at all for less then $7 dollars.

Starting the year off with a box that is in my opinion quite good and filled with some different items.

Kopari Ultra Restore Body Butter

Full Size: 230 ml

Full Size Cost: $36

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $4.70

This is very lightly coconut scented and it is really nice its slightly greasy in the sense that i dont want to use my computer after putting it on because it leaves marks but not so greasy that you are like sliding every where. This is pretty nice.

Clarins Cryo-Flash Cream Mask

Full Size: 75 ml

Full Size Cost: $80

Sample Size: 8 ml

Value: $8.53

This I don’t know if I will like. I don’t like cold things, but occasionally even I just weant something cooling on my face so I will save this for one of those moments when I feel like I need that cooling type of feeling on my face.

Avya Daily Essentials Honey + Amber Deep Cleansing Exfoliating Scrub

Full Size: 118 ml

Full Size Cost: $28

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $7.12

I don’t use alot of scrubs but I have genuinely never heard of this one so I will add it to the collection to try. I love getting things I never heard of.

Lovery Gold Bath Bomb Lavender

Full Size: 200 g

Full Size Cost: $19

Sample Size: 40 g

Value: $3.80

This brand looks like it is trying to be a Body Shop dupe. This is a absurd price for a bath bomb. I know this is going to be a huge mess to clean up and I don’t love lavender so I am just not going to even give this a try.

belif Aqua Bomb Hydrating Body Moisturizer

Full Size: 300 ml

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $3

I won’t say no to more body lotion I like their face lotions they are very simple and no offensive but sometimes that is nice in a body lotion. I love little tubes of body lotion I find them so easy to just bring around and keep out and use up so I am a fan even if they are kinda crap value wise.

Tony Moly I’m Lovely Ginger Snap Hand Mask

Full Size: 1 Set

Full Size Cost: $5.50

How cute is that little gingerbread man!!! I love him. This is a cool thing to get very different. And I am super curios to see if I really can use my phone while I’m wearing them. My hands have been so dry and torn apart lately so I have to try this out soon.

Versace Dylan Purple Perfume

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $120

Sample Size: 1 ml

Value: $1.20

Prada Paradoxe Perfume

Full Size: 90 ml

Full Size Cost: $152

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $1.67

This was a good box we didn’t get any repeats we got all products we aren’t seeing all the time and that is what I want from a box. The value and sizes are a let down in this box for sure though.
