This subscription always includes a cute bag plus a $5 coupon, and that’s already a big advantage. The lippies they sent this month fall under our favorites because they are all lightweight and well-pigmented. The samples are great too, like the sexy Kors scent. With a total retail value of $48, Macy’s definitely started the year right!

This month’s Lookfantastic box included a nice selection of skincare products, plus a hair care item and even a lash primer. The subscription remains a great way of discovering new UK beauty items to love!
Of Note: While this box is $22 per month it has free worldwide shipping and if you subscribe to a year you’ll get it at $15 per month (plus you don’t have to pay upfront!). Always a mini Elle magazine plus a nice mix of UK beauty brands. Sizes are smaller but if you don’t live in the US & are willing to pay for a year upfront, this is a great choice!

We’re loving all the boxes this month! Macy’s is doing a good job in keeping up with other beauty boxes, and Lookfantastic is not bad either. However, Allure is still the first on our list because they never fail to bring something extra on the table.They included a full-sized product costing many multiples of the entire box! Things are getting exciting and we can’t wait for next month!
What did you think of the this month’s Macy’s Beauty Box, Allure Beauty Box, and Lookfantastic Beauty Box? Did you have a favorite?
