Macy’s Beauty Box Subscription On the Way this Summer
Everyone and their mom has some sort of beauty box subscription lately and the Macy’s Beauty Box is the next one to hit the scene. Arriving this Summer, the Macy’s Beauty Bob Subscription will set you back $15 and gets you five deluxe beauty samples packed up in a makeup bag as well as a $5 coupon off your next beauty purchase making the box $10.
Nifty right? By the way, thanks to Jess for the tip off on this!
Now earlier today, I was discussing the Play by Sephora Iconic Edition Box which I felt wasn’t really worth $20. On top of that, I also expressed how the regular Play by Sephora Box at $10 wasn’t one I was feeling either. Why? Because a lot of the contents are items I have already tried. If Macy’s can somehow hit the sweet spot by introducing me to brand new products for $15 I’d be all in. The price isn’t exactly right since Sephora Play gets you the same amount of samples for $10 bucks. However, Macy’s does throw a $5 coupon your way for a future purchase. It’s debatable if that’s a good thing or not as it limits you to a purchase at Macy’s only obviously and you still have to pay $15 upfront for the box.
None the less, add Macy’s Beauty Box to a long list of different makeup and beauty box subscriptions already available. I’ve not really a fan of all these boxes (I miss you Memebox and I love you Facetory) unless they offer something truly unique! Let’s hope Macy’s gets that right.

Play by Sephora The Iconic Edition Worth $20? Probably Not!
Play by Sephora The Iconic Edition is a new $20 VIB Rouge Exclusive limited edition beauty box filled with luxury and high-end deluxe samples that launched last week. Mind you this is not a subscription box like the normal $10 Play by Sephora Beauty Boxes are. This was a one off that sold out rather fast but I mused in an earlier post that I felt like Sephora might be testing the water with this box and might potentially offer it as a monthly beauty box subscription or perhaps do other boxes like it seasonally.
One of the main complaints about the box was it was available for VIB Rouge Members only. This alienated a good deal of makeup lovers especially those on a budget who wanted to take advantage of a luxury box that contained higher-end deluxe samples at a more affordable price. If you don’t shop counter makeup often this was a nice way to try certain brands like Guerlain, Tom Ford, etc….
Unfortunately, Sephora limited the purchase of the Iconic Edition Play Box to VIB Rouge Members. Hopefully they’ve learned from the mistake because there was quite an outcry on their website within the review section of people complaining about this and the next time around it will be offered to everyone. Honestly, VIB Rouge status really doesn’t do me any great favors aside from the free flash shipping but even that’s not too big a deal since it only cost $10 a year for Flash anyway. Being offered a $20 Play Box because I’m a VIB Rouge Member isn’t doing me any great favors.
So, Play by Sephora The Iconic Edition worth $20? Probably not.
Here’s why.

Too Faced Fall 2017 Arrives With Glittery Eyeshadows and Melted Latex Lipglosses
Yeah, I know, Summer isn’t even officially here and Too Faced Fall 2017 released today. No worries I’d say the Glitter Bomb Prismatic Glitter Eyeshadow Palette and gorgeous round up of Melted Latex Liquified High Shine Lipstick shades will be perfect for Summer looks. Speaking of which the Natural Love Eyeshadow Palette would have been a better Fall release versus the Glitter Bomb Eyeshadow Palette don’t you agree!? Seems like the shades in this release are geared more towards the metallic trend we’re currently seeing.
Here’s a peek at what launched!
