Macy’s Beauty Box is a monthly subscription that delivers five deluxe beauty samples, one bonus item, and a collectible cosmetics bag for $15 per month. Beauty Box subscribers also get an exclusive $5 beauty coupon that can be used online and in-store.

There’s no extra packaging in the box.

The items safely arrived inside a pouch.

The pouch is metallic chrome in bronze gold color. This is so pretty! It has a wrinkled foil effect that is different from other metallic pouches.

It’s spacious and I like it!

Each month comes with a Macy Beauty Box booklet.

There is a $5 coupon at the back of the booklet. These coupons aren’t stackable from one month to the next. BUT there’s free shipping on all Macy’s Beauty orders. Check out these categories sorted from low to high price: Bath & Body, Natural BeautyMakeup, Skincare, and Travel-size.

This month I picked up the Burt’s Bee’s Coconut & Pear lip balm duo for 80¢ after coupon (yes, again, I’m addicted). I actually found a few $5 items but got checkout errors – even though their system states a $5 minimum to use the coupon.

The information booklet gives you a list of all the items included in the box.

This booklet features the items this month, their brands and what they’re for.

From the booklet and pouch being bronze, I’m betting we are having a bronzed look as well.

Everything in the May 2018 Macy’s Beauty Box!

Tarte Amazonian Clay Matte Waterproof Bronzer In Park Ave Princess ($10.31) Come on, the packaging is just very glamazonian!

If you need a sunkissed glow to spotlight your best features then this best selling matte bronzing powder might just do the trick. It can be used as a contour and it’s very lightweight on the face, plus it lasts all day long and indeed waterproof! It looks very natural on the skin, no shimmer. A little of it goes a long way so I can be able to use it for months.

It has Skinvigorating ingredients like antioxidants vitamins A, C, and E. It helps prevent signs of aging while brightening skin. The mineral pigments are for soothing and softening properties as well as the shade. It is also cruelty-free and vegan.

Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Garden Eau De Parfum Spray ($2.82) The perfume has key notes of Frangipani flower, coconut essence, and ylang- ylang. It can be put in your purse and ready to be used as you please.

This is the perfect summer scent with its warm and earthy floral notes with a hint of coconut. I like the description of “floriental” – I think it’s accurate. It has a sprayer, too.

Benefit Badgal Bang! 36 Hour Full-Blast Volumizing Mascara ($8.47) This is a long-lasting, innovative mascara with aero particles that lets you layer and gives you massive volume without feeling heavy. It’s an excellent formula but bless your heart if you need 36 hours of mascara!

This is smudge-proof and water resistant. It also makes your lashes healthy because is has pro-vitamin B5 to support natural lash thickness and strength. It has a custom brush designed to reach from upper and lower lashes’ root to tip. I prefer traditional super volume brushes but this one is pretty good.

Nudestix Nudies Glow All Over Face Color In Illumi-Naughty ($6.37) It’s easier to achieve a soft dewy and lightweight finish with this multi-purpose highlighter stick. It brightens the skin with a pearlescent glow and can be used as a highlighter for the eyes, cheeks, and lips too.

This product is vegan, hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and free of fragrance, gluten, parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. The packaging even has an Illuminati pun, Illumi-naughty!

Dermablend Glow Creator Multi-Use Liquid Highlighter ($7.10) I received another highlighter in the box, but in liquid form. It promises a dramatic highlighting effect for face and body. Just use a little bit because its shine is no joke! Also, shake the highlighter well before use. It is weightless, a silky liquid highlighter that blends seamlessly. It is best for strobing, highlighting, and an overall glow.

Use 1 drop for a subtle glow, 2 or more drops for full glow and for an overall radiance you can also mix and blend it with foundation or body lotion!

It has high-performance pigments that are blendable, buildable, and customizable with results you can see instantly. It is also fragrance-free, sensitive skin tested, allergy tested, and non-comedogenic. There are more shades in this line!

It Cosmetics Brow Power Pencil ($7.71) A universal brow pencil because you can adjust and apply softer strokes for lighter hair colors and press harder for dark ones. It is free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. It is also talc-free and cruelty-free. For every brow pencil sold, IT cosmetics donates one to Look Good Feel Better to help women with cancer.

It has a built-in spoolie brush and is budge-proof!

The swatches look great! Don’t you just love that each product works well with each other in this box?

All these products are summer-ready! Imagine just basking in the sun with all the bronzed skin glory. The products are also water resistant or waterproof so it is a really well-curated bunch. The total value was about $43!
