Macy’s Beauty Box Review – May 2018

I signed up for the Macy’s subscription when it first came out and I know at the beginning there were several negative comments but I truly feel that they keep getting better and better every month in my humble opinion. I know that the cost is more, about $6 including tax than Sephora play and Ipsy but I definitely think the bags that they are sending out are really cool and creative and the sizes of the items seems to be much better each month. And this is the one subscription that I actually do not even look at the spoilers so I can be totally surprised when I get my box. I don’t know why that is but for some of the other subscriptionsI have to look at the spoilers but I decided for the Macy’s one when I get the notification of spoilers I just delete it so I can be totally surprised and happy ! Am I the only one that does that ?

I am really wanting to order this sub box, but I see SO MANY complaints about billing, and trying to cancel but they still bill. I cannot stand bad customer service. So I am really weighing the pros and cons.

I love the mascara and the perfume. The bronzers are too light for me, and I couldn’t open the Dermablend liquid stuff. I probably could figure it out, but packaging that’s difficult to open or close is always a no for me. I just don’t have that kind of time.

I am really happy with this sub. This mascara works great with my lashes. Perfume smells really nice. I like how they switch it up every month.

I am waiting for my 3rd month of Macy’s, and I have been happy. Maybe bc some of my other “subscrition addiction products” are fullfilled in my other beauty sub’s, but the bad gal bang mascara is now my go to…never clumped on me, I have uber long lashes and with mascara they are like WOW and yeah, no need for falsies here. The all over nudestix highlighter was PERFECT. Not tooooo shiny i look oily, just right…even on my spray tan bronzed face! The water proof bronzer from Tarte I actually forgot i wanted to get online one day back in February (and forgot).i wanted to order by spring bc it is water proof…really happy came in this bag and it works! Has survived humid kentucky/tennessee weather all day.
The bag itself is great bc its long enough for my fave touch up brush during the day.

I’m not a fan of the mascara. My lashes looked clumpy and heavy which took the curl right of them. I do like the fragrance!

I absolutely love the mascara! It’s now my everyday mascara. No spider lashes here and It makes my lashes soooo long also lasts my twelve hour day. I had yet to find a mascara that lasted all day on my long lashes. Unfortunately I had to cancel the two subs I had for them. After my credit card got billed 4x for two subs. C.S. told me I was SOL until the actual box shipped for these extra charges to “drop off”. I’ve never had a box basically borrow money from me than repay me six days later. These are charges I didn’t agree to or authorize. I don’t understand how they’re able to do this to customers. I was thinking about writing the better business bureau. I was happy with them until this nonsense.

I have already purchased the mascara. Keep up the great boxes!

oh I love this bag! would love to swap in case anyone is interested 🙂

I thought this was a great bag. That mascara is also my favorite and I went and bought the full size but not at Macy’s. I am mad at them. I went to use my $5. card at checkout. I entered it, it took it and deducted but when I got my email it was full price. I looked at my bank and I paid full price. I called immediately and was basically told ” so sorry” nothing we can do.

This was all in a matter of minutes. I really expected better customer service from them. I will still get the bag but won’t order from them anymore.

The universal brow pencil didn’t work with my coloring, no matter how lightly I applied. The nudestix left a film on my face that I didn’t care for. Overall, the bronzing and contouring items are not my every day products. So, for me, this bag was a miss. I would say they were all good quality items plus I liked the bag, just wasn’t my month!

Great review, Liz! I like when you add commentary about items that the average Joe may not know. I’m waaaaay too pale to make anything in this bag work, but I appreciate the review nonetheless! 😊

I’ve used that mascara several times, and it’s not my fave, although I can see how some might like it. It gives me “Tammy Faye” eyes. It doesn’t separate lashes so they look spidery and fake. It also clumps easily no matter how I apply, and the wetness removes the curl achieved from my eyelash curler.

I much prefer my Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes or Ciate Wonderwand for my tiny, short, straight, thin lashes. Those two work miracles on me!
