New Beauty Subscription: Macy’s The Spotlight Beauty Box!
UPDATE: I reached out to Macy's and they are now aware of the issue with email sign ups, and are working to fix it. I'll update again when the invite list is working correctly!
What do you think of this new box launch? I'm excited to see companies like Sephora and Macy's enter the $10 beauty box category! (Still waiting for my Play by Sephora invite...)

I just heard about this box at another site and was looking for reviews. I see that this subscription started out at $10.00 but is now at $15.00. Any thoughts on this box as it’s 2017? LOL

Has anyone had trouble signing up , I went to the link above a bunch of times and it takes me to their website but all I see is a girl with lipstick and the word spotlight but no place to sign up.
Ugh!! Frustrating

have there been any email confirmations or just the confirmation on the site after you sign up?

I signed up for the wait list but I have a good feeling this is going to be another Birchbox. I know I shouldn’t be skeptical but something is telling me the “full-size” products are going to be eyeliners and lipsticks. What really bothers me is the advertisement of the Anastasia contour pallet (we all know that’s what it is) because they will never, ever put a $40 pallet into a $10 box.

Here’s my thought & what I suggested to Liz. My concern is that it’ll be BB/Ipsy etc., type mini’s & the full size item each month, will be from their in house Macy’s brand makeup line. I could be wrong, but when I was navigating around the site, after I saw the advertisements for “M by Macy’s,” I just got this feeling.. I mean, honestly I had no idea they had their own line of makeup, so what better way to get it out there, then a $10 box, hidden underneath all the brands we love? Don’t get me wrong, I’m still 100% on board, I’m just going in knowing, this may be the case. If it’s too good to be true…? I still can’t wait. This should open the doors for a whole new world of department stores, brands, etc and make things very interesting & very competitive!

I signed up, of course. I love Macy’s, love sub boxes so it’s perfect! I just hate (like Sephora) where there is no indication of how long we’ll be on this waitlist! A month, 6 months, a year??!?

Now the waiting begins!! *stomps feet* I love waiting for subs I can’t have yet, (says NO ONE ever!) ?
With my BB ending in December, ( which I won’t be renewing) I’m hoping to try Sephora or Macy’s.

Wow, so many fabulous $10 make-up boxes. At some point decisions will have to be made. This looks so exciting.

Don’t know if you have another browser, but I with Chrome it froze after hitting enter but when I switched to IE I got a wait list confirmation.

Did you see the part where Liz wrote “FYI: this box is currently in invitation mode”?

Ramona
Whats that have to do with what I wrote? I didnt even get “anything” to pop up. The page was just frozen. I think they were having issues with their website. Trust me I understand the concept of a waitlist, Kelli….

Definitely going to get on the wait list to try out this box.

I didn’t get any kind of confirmation for a wait list after I signed up. It just brought me to the top of the page after I entered my info….

I was taken to the top of the page as well so I signed up again. That’s probably not allowed and I blacklisted myself. LOL.

I would looove to see what this subscription is like! Price, quality and quantity sound good 🙂 Sign me up ? Yes, loving all the competition within the companies too.

$10 is hard to resist, even though I have zero interest in perfume. May just sign up, anyway, and swap away the perfume (another sign of sub box addiction= signing up for something you know you won’t entirely use)

Interesting. Sephora now Macy’s. They maybe after Birchbox’s success. I never tried Ipsy because I felt that curation/brands was for more younger demographics and more makeup than skincare items. I had better luck with BB. I think the competition is great. Let’s see if they let us customize by creating a profile or some kind of point system like BB.

ahhh says my email is on wait list but I’ve never signed up before. UGH I hope I get a spot!

Well I give up on customer service already. I called and they send you to someone who barely speaks english then she had no idea what I was talking about. Finally after explaining it several times I just hung up.

Happened to me too. I wonder if somehow they gathered emails of beauty people?
