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.

Half repeats half new things lets get into it.

Buxom Plump Shot Collagen Infused Lip Serum

Full Size: 4 ml

Full Size Cost: $28

Sample Size: 1 ml

Value: $7

This stings quite a bit, I do not like that. It isn’t sticky so I guess that is good but ow.

Bumble and Bumble Bb Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat/UV Protective Primer

Full Size: 250 ml

Full Size Cost: $34

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $4.08

This is a good product it is just too heavy for my hair.

Sun Bum Daily Sunscreen Moisturizer

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $19.99

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $6

I am allergic to the Sun Bum sunscreens but my girlfriend is going to be happy to have a new face sunscreen.

Mac Turquatic Fragrance Blend

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $67

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $2.01

This smells nice very unisex. You can really smell it as a blend rather then a typical perfume.

Elizabeth Arden Prevage City Smart DNA Enzyme Complex

Full Size: 40 ml

I have no idea what this line is supposed to do but I just use it when I have it is always tiny I use it up and move on.

I like these they are good sheet masks they are moisturizing.

Not my most favorite Macy’s box this month that’s for sure

Givenchy Irresistible Rose Velvet Perfume

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $87

Sample Size: 1 ml

Value: $2.90

I can’t use rose perfume so this is a no for me.

Clarins Lip Comfort Oil in 01 Honey

Full Size: 7 ml

Full Size Cost: $28

Sample Size: 1.4 ml

Value: $5.60

This has rose oil in it so I can’t use it but I am pretty sure I have tried these before and they are super sticky.

Smashbox Photo Finish Control Mattifying Primer

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $42

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $7

This primer is fine but it better under makeup and I have a few mini tubes of this more then I really need. I prefer primers I can wear on their own because I do like a light layer of primer sometimes even if I don’t want to wear foundation.

It Cosmetics Superhero Mascara in Waterproof

Full Size: 9 ml

Full Size Cost: $28

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $15.56

I hate waterproof mascara so this is also not for me. I don’t love Superhero mascara though I find it really dry and spikey.

Lancome Idole Ultra Precise Waterproof Liner

Full Size: 1 ml

Full Size Cost: $23

Sample Size: 0.6 ml

Value: $13.80

I have this liner in the full size and it is really black and really liquidy but also really hard to work with and really smeary if I am not careful.

Blotting Papers

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $4

These are unbranded blotting papers I just linked to the Nyx ones because they are affordable.

Mac Fix+ Stay Over Setting Spray

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $33

Sample Size: 13 ml

Value: $4.29

This is the only thing in the box that I am keeping but I really like Mac Fix plus so that is good. even though this box was a dud for me personally.

Walmart Spring 2023 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.

The size of products in this box was fantastic this season that is for sure.

Kiss Colors & Care Glamour Glitter Bonnet Cap

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $4.19

While I could probably benefit from a sleeping bonnet my hair is so fragile I would never be able to fall asleep with something on my head its a personal thing. Also Glitter Pink is not my vibe. But this is really cool and a really great item to get in a box like this.

Salon Perfect Mani To Go

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $6.74

They include press on nails often it feels like in these boxes which is probably super thrilling for people I don’t personally use them so I just pass them along.

Bolden Dark Spot Fix

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $19

I stopped using dark spot correctors and I really need to get back on it. This is amazing full size $19 that is triple the cost of the box in one item.

Covergirl Clean Fresh Yummy Gloss in 100 Let’s Get Fizzical

Full Size: 10 ml

Full Size Cost: $10.99

This is so cute. Its just a clear gloss but the packaging is so cute and it is huge.

Hask Argan Oil 5 in 1 Leave-In Spray

Full Size: 52 ml

Full Size Cost: $3

This is even a full travel size. I like this brand alot they have some really nice products and I do use leave in sprays so I will get use out of this I may even travel with it I don’t know.

What a really great value for this box. Half the items I will use Half I won’t but that is still a massive win. I really love this box.
