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.

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.

Quick Summary:

Total Value: $43.92

FabFitFun Box Summer 2023

nightmareb4

FabFitFun Box

Cost: $54.99 a Season Annual/$59.99 Seasonal

Cycle: Every Season/4x a year

What is it: Every season FabFitFun sends 6 to 8 items valued at $300+. Annual members get to customize their entire box as well as the option to swap out for credit to shop with instead of getting a box. Annual members also get add-ons and faster shipping and earlier access to customizations.

Seasonal Members get to pick 4 of their items as well as the option to swap out their box for credit to shop with as well.

Summer Fab Fit Fun this isn’t my favorite one ever but also everything I actually choose for myself not for gifts for other people which is a bit of a nice change for me.

Beach Riot Beach Club Towel

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $78

This is super soft. I think as a beach towel it wouldn’t be that great because it is so soft I think it would pick up alot of water and not dry super fast but as a bath towel it is going to be so nice and I wanted a new nice bath towel. For this price i would want it to be a bit thicker like i don’t ove super thick towels but this is pretty thin and again for this price I would expect this to be more bath sheet sized rather then beach towel sized. So not quite up to my expectations, fully not worth $78 dollars but for the about $9.17 I paid its really nice.

Lilly Pulitzer Zip ID Case

Full Size: Case w/ Lanyard

Full Size Cost: $35

Value: $20

I linked to the closest thing I could find it is a set with a lanyard but it seems like these wallets sell for around $20 and the lanyards around $15. I am not a Lilly Girlie but this is the style of wallet I use and I thought the pattern was so super cute.

L*Space Vibrating Massage Ball

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $42

I have wanted one of these for a long time. I think it is really going to help with knots in my back and my tendonitis. This one is also water resistant which is nice. You can’t buy this anywhere which makes the price seem a bit suspicious but I am really glad to have it.

Volition Strawberry-C Brightening Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $44

This was the category that really didn’t have anything I wanted so this is what I ended up choosing I like Vitamin C Serums so I’ll see how good this one is.

Malin + Goetz Rum Hand + Body Wash

Full Size: 250 ml

Full Size Cost: $26

This smells really good I can’t wait to try it. I had a mojito lip balm from this brand that I loved.

Olaplex Bond Intense Moisture Mask

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $30

I have wanted this mask but haven’t wanted to buy it and now I have it. My hair is wrecked at the moment so maybe this can help.

Value: $240

So the value this month is way lower then the $300 that it is supposed to be. I’m not super impressed with this box. While I picked all these items and will use all these items the category choices and the actually quality of the items is a bit disappointing.
