Did anyone else not receive the bag in their shipment? I’m so sad! I messaged them on Facebook about it, but from experience I don’t think they’ll do anything about it. In February they didn’t include the insert with the coupon and no one could do anything about it. I spent an hour explaining to someone who clearly didn’t understand why it was an issue and just ended crying in frustration. Having someone who knows about the beauty box and is located in the US would be really helpful. I’ve been looking forward to the return of the bag and now I’ll have to hope there is one in January I guess.

They work great for applying masks evenly without getting your fingers all covered in mask!

I got midnight shimmer and it’s straight up black on me. Not deep purple or deep red. Black! It would have been a hero item for me if it was in any other color–from clear to peach to red to plum, fine. But I cannot pull off the goth lips! lol
Also, I don’t need or want TWO highlighters in the same bag. (I got the PUR highlighter variant.)
The $10 gift card saved it for me this time. I’m hoping for a better January!

I wasn’t very impressed with this box. It just didn’t seem as well thought out as the previous boxes. Nothing in this one i will probably use, except i’ll try out the vitamin C serum.

Did everyone receive the Midnight Shimmer Grande Lips or was it a variant? I cannot pull off this shade at all!

I got Amber Glow gloss.

Mine just came and I am so super happy with everything! The bag is nice, I like that it was a highlighter instead and its a pretty gold, the gloss is pretty, I needed new serum and love vitamin C. Anyone complaining about no glitz and glam – 5 of the products have glitter! Like what do you want??

I agree with you! I was not excited after the spoilers and was thinking I should have canceled, but I love everything and will use it all. The bag is very pretty and I love the color of the grandelips. My kids are teenagers (one boy and one girl) and they love the perfume samples. I am so glad I subscribed!

Ugh, I didn’t want a highlighter! Sad that I am not skin perfector

I don’t know how to use it. Giving it away!
I am contemplating if I like the color for Grande Lips. Funny, I don’t see the color being sold at Macys.com

I actually got two substitutes this month-neither of which I’m happy about. I got the Grande Lips in Midnight Shimmer, which looks like a very deep purple/burgundy color. Also, instead of the Pur Mineral Glow Perfecting Powder I got their highlighter in Afterglow. I definitely don’t need another highlighter!
I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be a subscriber. The boxes seem to be going downhill fast. This month at least there was a $10 off coupon so that good but I just don’t know if this box is worth $15 a month.

Agree, this was not a good box (except for the glittery makeup bag). Everything looked virtually the same, and was of no interest to me. I hate when they include men’s colognes, as my husband doesn’t use fragrance. In earlier months, got a nice full-sizeRealHer lipstick and other things I liked. I got a substitute for the gloss, some kind of lip plumper, and it was dried out/empty. 🙁 Looking for a new subscription now, having tried ipsy, Boxycharm and Macy’s already.

The Grande Lips and Silicon Beauty Applicator looks like it’s full size. I think it’s worth it but I am like you, I don’t know how much longer I’ll be a subscriber. I’m not as excited as I used to be!

I was pretty disappointed at first, but after getting this, I am once again super happy! I’m not one for the silicone blenders, but it’s full size and pretty! The bag is much nicer than expected, way better than what it looked like. I expected ipsy quality. It was much better.
I got one of those oops slips, which I hate seeing. But the replacement item is so good, I am unsure which it is. It is either a pur highlighter instead of the pur skin perfecting powder, or simply a different color of the grandeur lips. Ot says we are supposed to get sangria. I got midnight shimmer. Full size, I think! Amazing.
The girlactik item I wasn’t excited about, but it is way cooler than it looked. Very sparkly and pretty. I don’t care about the bath bead looking stuff, but I have heard good things about it. And i love that they put both a perfume and cologne. Very nice!
Mostly, I am thrilled to see the bag back.

I got a notice in the packing that a product had been replaced. I was sent a PUR highlighter instead of the mineral glow skin perfecting powder.

Just received mine. The bag looks much cuter in person I think and could be used as a clutch. I received a different Grande Lips, very pretty but not great on me. It could potentially work as a topper but I’m going to check first if my daughter wants it.

Also. This. Ox is 16.95 a month, not 15.

$1.95 is tax. They charge me $16.33 every month.

I’m split. At $17, this bag really hasn’t be delivering g rhr last few months.
While I am thrilled to see the bag back, they really half arsed it with a bag exactly like ipsy’s. Their unique designs is what really made it special.
And the samples this month are awful, at least to me. They are better than those bleached makeup puffs, though!
While I am still disappointed, seeing that they listened to us and brought the bag back, I’ll be keeping my subscription. I am super happy they listened!

I’m a little sad that quite a few people are disappointed in this bag. I saw the makeup bag and I thought people would be happier! I know it wasn’t in the past couple months and quite a few people were disappointed in that!
On another note, I like half of these products, I normally do. Anything I don’t want, I give away. Hopefully more people will like next months!

I re-subbed because of the last month previews and I cancelled again because of this spoiler. I’ll stick with BoxyCharm. Very disappointed.

Not impressed either. Aren’t some of these items repeats? Like the Good girl perfume and the Elizabeth Arden capsule product?
Reply
Aidan
They’re both variations of other items. We got the original Good Girl and the retinol version of the Elizabeth Arden. I’m actually excited to try the vitamin c version! I really like the capsules.
Reply

Me too I can’t wait ! I’ll be using the vitamin C capsules. I need a Vitamin C serum.

Boring!!!! We’re the holiday glitz and glam! I can’t believe Macy’s would send this for a end if the year holiday bag! They’re really going down hill! Compared to all the other boxes in its class! Macy’s better get it together or they may loss some faithful subscribers

Ughh I subbed trying to get last months box but didn’t get it even after they said on the phone I would. I really wanted to try the ptr eye cream. But I figured that dec should be good so no problem, but not really thrilled. Oh well I’ll give it another month. I always like the boxes but it too late, and the one time I subscribe, blahhh lol

Such a disappointment.

The bag is a lot lighter silver in the video. I don’t know, at first glance, this is not an exciting bag for December (imo). I was hoping for something somehow more impressive. Doesn’t help that I already have that perfume and I don’t like or use bronzer.
Also, I can’t find the color GrandeLips product in that dark shade on Macy’s website that she refers to in the video. I wonder if we’re actually getting the pink one shown in the picture, not the video.
Overall, Meh but I’ll use most of it. Just wish it was a WOW. Maybe that’s what the $10 gift card is for : )

My first month and disappointed. I was looking forward to something other than a bag! Thought a lip color would be in there. I don’t wear perfumes sadly.
Reply
Jody
Silly me it does have two lip items but I don’t like Grande Lips. The video says it’s a deep red! Still not impressed.
