The bag this month is so cute! It is a linen look with a black zipper, and the pull tab has magenta and turquoise poms. I love the illustrated makeup items on the front too.

Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer, 0.25 oz – Estimated Value $9.00 (Buy a full-size 1 oz for $36.00)
This product has been everywhere in the last few months. At least it is a good one! This was the first primer I ever really thought highly enough to use years ago and it is still a cult fave for a good reason. It has this powdery finish after you apply it to your skin that feels a little odd if you aren't used to it, but wow does makeup look great on top!

Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser, 1 fl oz - Estimated Value $2.25 (Buy a full-size 16 fl oz for $36.00)
I am also familiar with this cleanser, and I like it very much. It is actually my mom's favorite cleanser of all time because it feels great on the skin and is gentle but still thorough with removing makeup. She has skin that is prone to redness (I get it honestly) and this causes a lot less of a reaction than so many other cleansers out there.

C2 Lip Conditioner in 'Vanilla', 0.15 oz - Full Size! Retail Value $9.50
I am a lip chewer and a compulsive lip balm user. This formula has a nice, short ingredient list: sunflower oil, beeswax, jojoba oil, flavor, calendula extract, vitamin E, and rosemary extract. It is also organic, so you can feel good about making your lips feel so good!

ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream, 0.5 fl oz - Estimated Value $47.06 (Buy a full-size 1.7 fl oz for $160.00)
This is the highest value item in our bag this month and it is also something I have sampled before. I love a good night cream and this one certainly fits the bill. It is designed to target wrinkles, which I don't have yet, but I am trying to be proactive about fine lines. It feels like pure velvet on my skin, and I noticed an improvement in the texture of my skin in the morning right away. My only complaint is the scent, which I just don't like at all.

Clinique Liquid Facial Soap, 1 fl oz - Estimated Value $2.46 (Buy a full-size 6.7 fl oz for $18.50)
Clinique is super nostalgic for me because it is my Nana's favorite brand and she has been using it since before I can remember being old enough to raid her vanity. This sample is of their liquid facial soap for sensitive and dry skin. No real scent here, but it manages to still smell very "clean." It also does an incredible job of removing makeup in the most gentle way possible. I love heavier clear gel cleansers, so I am really excited to have such a nicely sized sample.

Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Eau de Toilette, 0.03 fl oz - Estimated Value $0.94 (Buy 3.4 fl oz for $106.00)
My very glamorous aunt wears this perfume, so it has very strong and positive memories attached for me. She actually gifted me a bottle when I was in college that I loved wearing! Launched in 1992, it still feels so classic and fresh. This is truly a timeless sort of fragrance, with notes of powder, white florals, fresh water, and a mellow wooden base. Inspired by the scent of water on a woman's skin, this is a delightfully fresh fragrance that is perfect for spring.

Issey Miyake Men's L'Eau d'Issey Wood&Wood Pour Homme Eau de Parfum Intense, 0.03 fl oz - Estimated Value $0.89 (Buy 3.3 fl oz for $98.00)
This is a new launch from Issey Miyake, and as a lover of any heavily wood focused scents, I do like it. I will admit that it feels a little more generic than his other creations though, and would benefit from some sort of unexpected note. As is, it smells like any men's cologne you might stumble across at the Macy's counter.
Verdict: This Macy’s Beauty Box has an estimated value of $72.10, which is great for a $15 box. This is the sort of box I would classify as a weekend trip toiletries supply run. The two cleansers and night cream are the perfect sizes to take on the go and feel like you are still using an elevated range of skincare products but without the weight in your bag. The primer is another nice addition for the same reason. The scents were welcome, but that really can't surprise any of you who know that I do indeed have a perfume addiction. All in all, nothing new or exciting in here, but an arguably great value and brands everyone already knows and loves.
