Two things were different with the box this month:

1. No info fold-out card with $5 coupon. (I'm not sure if it's just missing. Let me know if you got one.)
2. And instead of a zip makeup bag, we get a drawstring bag:

Now, on to the items!

TonyMoly I'm Green Tree Sheet Mask - Retail Value $3

I received Tony Moly masks before in an Ipsy glam bag and in the February Macy's Beauty Box, and I think they are fab. You leave them on for 20-30 minutes, remove, and let any excess product absorb. This left my skin feeling super hydrated and soft.

Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream - Sample Card

This sample card includes 4 different shades of the tinted moisturizer.

Here they are swatched:

While I'm a little annoyed at the sample size, I like that they sent several shades. (This feels more like a freebie and less like one of 6 samples, though.)

I'd recommend this formula for anyone looking for light to medium coverage with a dewy finish. Personally, I need more coverage and a formula that fights oil a bit. (My skin was well past dewy after I applied this.)

Schmidt’s Rose + Vanilla Natural Deodorant – .7 oz Value $1.32

I just tried this thanks to the April Target Beauty Box, and I'm loving it!

I love the idea of natural/ingredient-conscious deodorants, but I usually end up going back to my tried-and-true Secret or Dove because they work better/are easier to use.

First, I love that this comes in stick form. (The natural deodorants that are in a jar and you have to apply with your fingertips, just aren’t for me. I need the ease of a stick!)

Second, I was surprised by how much I liked the scent. Normally, I shy away from anything rose-scented, but this rose + vanilla combination is lovely.

And third, this worked well for me! I wore it on an hour walk, and still smelled like roses after! (Just an FYI – the scent sticks around, so be prepared to smell like this deodorant for the whole day.)

Origins Ginzing Refreshing Eye Cream - 5 ml Value $10.33

This eye cream is designed to help reduce dark circles and depuff under eye bags. It's hydrating, light, and gentle, but I didn't notice any difference in the appearance of the skin around my eyes. (For reference, I have undereye circles, but no puffiness/undereye bags.)

Korres Wild Rose + Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial – 20 ml Value $24

(Good to know for swapping – this product has an inner foil seal.)

This is half the size of the full-size version!

The formula is designed to brighten the complexion, even out skin tone, and provide intense amounts of hydration. I’ve tried it for one night now, and I couldn’t believe how soft it made my skin feel. I will definitely use every last drop of this sleeping facial!

Coola Mineral Sunscreen Mineral BB Cream - 5 ml Value $3.60

Coola is my favorite ingredient-conscious sunscreen brand! (I highly recommend checking out their scented body sprays - they smell like delicious tropical cocktails.)

This sunscreen is unscented, though. But no complaints. It has a tint but provides pretty much no coverage in terms of a BB cream/foundation. The matte finish is great - and I could apply this over my makeup with no problems.

Verdict: This box has an estimated value of about $42.25 (not counting the makeup bag or the BareMinerals card.) I think that's a good value for a $15 beauty box. This isn't my favorite Macy's Beauty Box, but I still like it. There are some samples that are way too small in my opinion, but there are also some great sized samples. So... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ? And I'm always happy to get quality skincare in an inexpensive beauty box.
