Macy’s Beauty Box November 2022

Macy’s Beauty Box

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.

This was a brand takeover box which normally I am on board for but this was kinda boring and lack luster. I like Shiseido but this was a really empty boring box. Also it feels like deja vu i am sure i have gotten or tried all of these products before.

Shiseido Essential Energy Hydrating Cream

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $49

Sample Siz: 15 ml

Value: $14.70

Cool a moisturizer. I am sure it’ll be really nice. How boring.

Shiseido Ultimune Eye Power Infusing Eye Concentrate

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $70

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $23.33

I have tried this before I might even have more of this some where. I don’t care for it feels like a very basic eye cream especially for this price.

Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $75

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $25

I just don’t get what this power line is really supposed to do. but this is a really nice size sample.

Shiseido Urban Environment Sun Dual Care SPF 42

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $48

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $6.72

I haven’t tried this version of the sunscreen but I really enjoy their sunscreens this is oil free which is great for a sunscreen.

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion SPF 50

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $49

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $2.29

This is a great sunscreen one of my favorites I’m not allergic to it and it doesn’t feel weird or sticky on my skin I like it alot.

This box just felt super boring to me like shiseido makes makeup why wasn’t any of that included in here? This is also a really low amount of products for a Macy’s box. No full sizes, not the greatest value either.

Walmart Fall 2022 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.

This is actually kinda the worst Walmart box I have ever received which is a bit disappointing.

Hairitage Athletic Twist Headband

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $5.98

I don’t like head bands in this style so I didn’t open it so that I can pass this along.

Maybelline Curl Bounce Mascara

Full Size: 9.8 ml

Full Size Cost: $10.99

Sample Size: 4.5 ml

Total Value: $5.05

Liquid I.V. in Yuzu Pineapple

Full Size: 16 sticks

Full Size Cost: $27.47

Sample Size: 1 stick

Total Value: $1.72

We seem to get these every season it is a little repetitive.

Thayers Facial Toner Pad

Full Size: 25

Full Size Cost: $8.99

Sample Size: 1 pad

Total Value: $0.36

Really one little pad, its kinda pathetic. I can’t use this so I’ll just pass it along.

Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Shampoo

Full Size: 89 ml

Full Size Cost: $1.56

Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Conditioner

Full Size: 89 ml

Full Size Cost: $1.56

I like this shampoo and conditoner and omg it smells so good. I never buy it but I will use it.

Like I said a bit of a sad disappointing box from Walmart definitely a first.

Macy’s Beauty Box August 2022

Macy’s Beauty Box

This came super late like last day of August late. Also really not overly pleased with this months box.

Blush Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $1

This is legit something you could pick up at dollar tree. Like no I refuse to be impressed about this item. Its not even soft.

Chella Mini La Vie Neutral Eyeshadow Palette

Full Size: 4 g

Full Size Cost: $20

I won’t swatch this because I won’t use this but this is a great inclusion it it a cute little travel palette you can get a whole look from it. Some one will be really happy when They get this.

Bodyography Eye Pencil in Bali Bronze

Full Size: 1.1 g

Full Size Cost: $11

Not a terribly unique color to get in a box but it is smooth and pretty and I will use it and it is full size so it is not the worst thing that could be included in this box and it does give fall vibes.

Origins Ginzing Brightening Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $44

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $7.33

I don’t typically love things from this line so I am going to give it to my girlfriend and let her use it up.

Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara

Full Size: 0.33 oz

Full Size Cost: $27

Sample Size: 20.06 oz

Value: $4.91

I don’t really like this mascara it is heavy and makes my eyes itch. I really hate that they couldn’t even give us a full travel size like why. It has to cost more money to produce this smaller size then to just make more travel size ones. you know economy of scale and all that.

Dior Forever Foundation Card

I refuse to give this a value. This is a free sample like absolutely not should this be a thing you are considering an actual item.

Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Cologne

Full Size: 4.2 oz

Full Size Cost: $105

Sample Size: 0.05 oz

Value: $1.25

This is a pretty old cologne so that’s a bit of a bummer.

Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Perfume

Full Size: 3.4 oz

Full Size Cost: $122

Sample Size: 0.05 oz

Value: $1.79

I didn’t know that this brand made women’s perfume so that is pretty cool to try.

Really just not happy with this box this month it was super late the items kinda suck like just not great.
