Macy’s The Spotlight
Cost: $9.99/month
Ships To: United States
Coupon Code: N/A
The Spotlight is a brand new subscription box from Macy’s. It’s $9.99/month and will include one full-size product along with an assortment of beauty and fragrance samples. I signed up for the waitlist on this one AS SOON as I heard about it, but haven’t gotten off the list yet. Happily the folks at Macy’s asked if I’d like to review a box and I jumped at the chance.
The Spotlight is super new still so I don’t know that they have a set shipping schedule. My box arrived via USPS and shipped from San Francisco, CA.
Eeek! You have no idea how excited I was to open this up.
I was absolutely shocked to find a cosmetic bag in the box!
The first look was amazing! Absolutely amazing!
Macy’s The Spotlight didn’t have a detailed information card, but I was so geeked for this box I didn’t even care. The November 2015 The Spotlight included the following items:
~The Bag: Not only did this box include a make-up bag, it included a gorgeous generously sized make-up bag. I was blown away! It’s Macy’s branded and has a black interior lining.
~Benefit they’re Real Mascara (3g / 0.1oz) ($12): I have tried this mascara in the past and I really liked it. I don’t know that Benefit makes anything I don’t like? It lengthens like crazy and doesn’t get all gross and clumpy. It also dries fast!
~bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash (30mL / 1oz) ($3.65): I actually purchase this and use this all the time! It’s a 2-in-1 cleanser and exfoliator, but it’s gentle enough for everyday use. I have been using it (on and off, but mainly on) for a few months now and I am really happy with it.
~Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Perfume (1.5mL 0.05fl.oz) ($0.68): Flowerbomb, as you may have guessed, is a floral scent. It has notes of Bergamot, Tea, Osmanthus, Jasmine, African Orange Flower, Freesia, Orchid, Rose, Musk and Patchouli. It’s been around for a while and somehow I have never purchased a full sized bottle of it. It’s absolutely gorgeous though.
~Anatasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss (Vintage) (4.5g/0.16oz) ($16): I am not sure how many different shades were sent out, but I received “Vintage” which is a soft rose color. It’s super glossy and not sticky at all.
~Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme Global Anti-Aging Creme (.17oz / 5mL) ($8.50): This cream dramatically reduces the look of multiple signs of aging: lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, dullness, dehydration. I have another sample of this so I am going to use them one right after another and hopefully I’ll see some amazing results! I am focusing on skincare again can’t get enough of these anti-aging creams.
~Philosophy Loveswept Shampoo, Bath & Shower Gel (30mL / 1oz) ($1.56): I tend to go for the foodie Philosophy scents over their floral scents so I don’t love this as much as a lot of others would. Still I will use every single drop because it does smell good in the shower.
~Urban Decay Matte Revolution Lipstick (Matte Bad Blood) (~$7.33): It looks like this lipstick comes in eight different shades and I received Matte Bad Blood, which is a matte deep red. For someone who doesn’t even wear lipstick, this is just too much for me. At least I think so!
All totaled I came up with a value of nearly $50 for the November 2015 Macy’s The Spotlight box. That doesn’t even include the value of the bag either! I was completely blown away by this and I so hope I can get off the waiting list and continue to get these boxes monthly! They included fantastic brands and the samples were generously sized which made it super impressive box. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this one!

I’m so jealous you got your hands on their first bag! It looks like they are starting off on a bang! I hope the wait list is not as horrible as the Sephora one. 🙂
I’m so jealous too! I only got an email that I was added to the waitlist! 🙂
Looks like an awesome box, especially for $10! So jealous you got one, I signed up for the waitlist, but don’t think I ever even got a confirmation of that. Pretty disappointing for such a giant company that the site crashed for signups and apparently they’re doing a limited release like Sephora.
I am not sure I got confirmation for the waitlist either? I don’t think they expected it to be so popular. I don’t know that they even posted it anywhere to advertise!
I’m on the wait list, looks like a great box. I never got off the wait list for sephora.
I never did either. Still on the waitlist!
That Urban Decay Lipstick <3 I hope I get off the wait list and they happen to put another UD product in there!
Still on the waitlist as well. Bummer.
Wait, let me get this straight..Urban Decay, Bliss, Philosophy, Estee Lauder, Philosophy, Benefit and Anastasia all in the first bag? I am so in!
Love this and certainly hope I get an invite!!!
Your link to sign up to get on the wait list doesn’t seem to be working. Is there another link?
That’s the only link. I don’t know why it’s down? I *think* it’s done that in the past, but I am not sure why?
This box looks awesome! I hope that it reaches North Carolina.
I can’t seem to figure out how to sign up.
I don’t believe they are accepting anyone on the waitlist even right now ;(.
Link to sign up please I’d love this
