    Target Beauty Box – April

    I know, I know it’s not April anymore…but I wanted to share this with y’all anyway! I was unable to get my hands on the March Target Beauty Box, but I was able to snag an April one.

    The Target Beauty Box is a one-time purchase monthly box that includes deluxe and full sized beauty products that you can find at Target and of course other retailers.

    Here is a BREAKDOWN of the APRIL goodies:

    1. SheaMoisture Kukui Nut Facial Cream Cleanser + Face & Neck Cream – Value for 5ml = $0.42

    The full size bottle retails for $9.99 for 4 oz for the facial cleanser.  The full size face and neck cream retails for $14.99 for a 2oz bottle. Delivers youth-infusing vitamins and antioxidants to help protect against aging.

    1. Juice Organics Deluxe-Size Volumizing Shampoo & Conditioner – Value for 1.2 oz each = $2.10

    The full size, 10oz shampoo and conditioner retails for $9.99. Volumizes, thickens and promotes healthy hair growth. I can honestly say that I don’t think I’ve seen those results in my hair after using these, but they smell great and my hair stays smelling good long after I’m out of the shower. I’m pretty picky about my shampoo/conditioner routine to begin with and prefer to use items that enhance my blonde hair.

    1. Burt’s Bees White Tea Extract Facial Cleansing Towelettes – Value for 10 count = $2.37

    This is a full size item! Removes dirt, oil and makeup for all skin types. Ok, so I love Burt’s Bees to begin with, so the fact that this was in my box was a huge plus in my book! I really like these as they’re the perfect size to throw in my gym bag. I use them to give my face a little wipe down after my run at lunch time while I’m at work.

    1. Hello Extra Whitening Pure Mint Flouride Toothpaste – Value for 0.85 oz = $0.91

    A full, 4.2oz bottle retails for $4.49. Whitens teeth naturally; free of dyes, artificial sweeteners or flavors, microbeads, preservatives and gluten.

    hello

    1. Yes to Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Mud Mask – Value = $ 2.52

    This is another full size item! Made with charcoal to naturally draw out impurities, help fight and prevent acne, and remove excess oil. I love getting masks in my boxes (as long as they’re not sheet masks!). I’ve never tried this one, and I can’t wait to try it out!

    yes

    1. ACURE Pore Clarifying Red Clay Scrub –Value for 1 oz= $3.25

    The 4oz bottle retails for $12.99. Moroccan red clay draws out impurities while black jojoba beads gently exfoliate to reveal clearer, smoother skin. I’ve never used this brand before, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I liked this facial scrub and the way it left my face feeling after using it.

    1. Raw Sugar Lemon Sugar Body Wash – Value for 2 oz= $0.56

    A full size, 25oz bottle retails for $6.99. Packed with vitamin C, antioxidants and essential oils to cleanse and nourish skin. I’ve gotten this brand before and I absolutely love it. I was so excited to see it in the April box and couldn’t wait to use it. It smells great and leaves me feeling fresh and clean.

    THE VALUE

    The value of this April Beauty Box is about $12.13. Since this box was only $7 plus shipping (mine was free shipping + 5% off since I have a Target Debit Card) this is a great deal! For this particular box, I felt that the value was a little low seeing as it only had 2 full size items and the rest travel size. This is perfect for trying out a new product that you may not normally buy.

    I think this box is a great deal for trying out new things and products every month! I love the excitement of opening my box every month! I can’t wait to post about my May box!

  • His: Target December Box

    His: Target December Box

    So the December box was kind of neat because they offer a box for both him and her! This review is strictly for the box for HIM! I gave the items to my younger brother to try them out and here is a little of what he had to say.

    The Target Beauty Box is a one-time purchase monthly box that includes deluxe and full-sized beauty products that you can find at Target and of course other retailers.

    Here is a BREAKDOWN of the goodies in the December box:

    1. Gold Bond Ultimate Refresh 360 Body Powder – Value = $0.70 for 1 oz

    This body powder retails for $6.99 for the full 10 oz size. I don’t actually know much about this product since it is currently still wrapped up like it is below and sitting on our bathroom counter.

    2. Old Spice Dirt Destroyer Puresport Body Wash– Value = $0.95 for 3 oz bottle

    The full 16 oz bottle retails for $4.99. This is currently the body wash in the shower in the bathroom we share. That right there was a good sign that he was going to like the product. He likes the way it smells and leaves you smelling good even after you get out of the shower. I’m not going to lie, I’ve used it a few times and even I like the way it smells!

    3. Colgate Optic White Platinum Toothpaste– Value = $1.62 for 1.45 oz

    For a full size 3 oz tube this retails for $3.34! I have been using this toothpaste since I opened the box. I like the way my mouth feels after I’m done brushing my teeth. I feel like it is a good product and would definitely buy the full size tube. I have also noticed that my teeth appear to look whiter after a week of using the tooth paste twice a day.

    4. Gillette Fusion Hydra Shave Gel– Value = $2.12 for 2.5 oz

    The full 7 oz size retails for $2.74. Again, this is another product that is a staple for not only both of my brothers but for my Mr. as well. It leaves their faces smooth and fresh looking. They like the way it foams up as they rub it onto their faces. Since this is something they already use, it is definitely something that they will continue to buy in the future.

    5. Every Man Jack 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner – Value = $1.20 for 2 oz

    The full size bottle (13.5oz) is $7.99. This was a product that none of the males in my life had heard of or used before. My one brother said he likes the way this smelled when he was washing his hair and liked that it didn’t smell girly in any way. Since it is a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, it left my brother’s hair feeling soft and not like a brillo pad like it normally does.

    6. Old Spice Swagger 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner – Value = $0.56 for 1.7 oz

    A full 25.3oz bottle retails for $6.99. Again, this is another staple in our house as my youngest brother uses this. He normally changes it up with Head & Shoulders, but he likes the way this one smells when he uses it and it leaves his hair smelling good too. This size bottle is perfect for throwing into his gym bag to use after weight-lifting before school.

    7. Dove Men+Care Clean Comfort Body Wash– Value = $0.55 for 1.8 oz

    The full 18 oz bottle retails for $4.69. This is another product that is an absolute staple in our house. Mr. Fiance uses this daily when he showers and my mom buys it for my dad as well. I like this because it leaves Mr.’s skin feeling soft and smooth even if he doesn’t put lotion on! This is great for travel and will definitely be used!

    8. Nautica Voyage Sport Cologne – Value = $0.70

    A full size (1.7oz) bottle retails for $34.99. This was nice that it came in a mini spray bottle rather than the wand. My brother is currently wearing this and I have to say it smells kind of like the Old Spice Pure Sport. It smells good on him and he likes it, so I guess that’s all that matters! He’s not really a big cologne guy but he does wear it for special occasions.

    THE VALUE

    The value of this December Beauty Box for Him is about $8.40. Since this box was only $7.00 plus shipping (mine was free + 5% off since I have a Target Debit Card) this is a great deal! For this particular box, it had no full size items, but worked out since almost all of the products were things that someone in my family uses all the time! This was such a  great box

    I think this box is a great deal and I can’t wait to see what January will look like! I can definitely say that I will be purchasing this box again in the future as long as it is not sold out!

  • FabFitFun Fall 2016 Box

    FabFitFun Fall 2016 Box

    Ok so here I am again, much sooner than I thought I’d be able to post, but I just had to share with you guys!  I received my Fall FabFitFun box about a month ago and I wanted to wait until I had used most of the items inside before I posted about it!!

    I was super excited when this bad boy came in the mail. I had signed up for the yearly subscription since I loved the first box so much so I knew 3 of the items I would be getting.

    Here is everything that came in my box including my Add-ons which I will talk about in another post!

    Here is a break down of what came in my Fall 2016 box:

    FabFitFun Coloring Book & Colored Pencils – Retails $14

    This was one of the items that I already knew I was getting, but I choose for it to be a surprise and ended up not choosing between the Nature or Things Coloring book. I think this is such a cute idea seeing how coloring books for adults are huge right now! This is a definite stress reliever for me and keeps me busy for hours. The only thing that I dislike about this item is that it only comes with 6 colored pencils, so I have to use my own if I want more colors.

    Modcloth Loch and Key Scarf – Retails $34.99

    Plaid scarfs are so IN for Fall right now so I’m super stoked that this came in the Fall box! I was able to choose this color combo from the 4 different options that they had. My other options were: green and blue, black and white, or brown and black with white. I really liked the multi color option as I felt that it could go with a variety of things. This one is super big and kind of hard for such a small person to wear but I’m still trying to get the hang of it. 

    Spongelle Bulgarian Rose Body Wash Infused Buffer – Retails $16     

    This sponge is supposed to rejuvenate, moisturize, and restore your skin to leave it feeling soft as silk. I was a little skeptical of this product at first because “how could it possibly contain multiple uses and wouldn’t the soap just rinse out?” Well I have been using this for the past 2 weeks everyday and it definitely still has a ton of soap left in it which is great and I always feel clean and refreshed after using it! This product came with a coupon for a percentage off and I will be doing some traveling in the near future so I think that I am going to buy a few smaller ones to pack in my bag! It’ll be one less liquid to take with me on the plane!

    Skin Laundry Restoring Night Serum – Retails $50 

    So I have never used a serum before, but after using this one, I have to admit that I am hooked! With a price of $50, I can’t guarantee that I will purchase this again (I may have to find something less expensive or find someone selling this item for cheap!). I like the way that this didn’t feel sticky when I put it on my face at night and I liked the way it left my face feeling in the morning. I didn’t really see a huge difference in the way my face looked, but I liked the way it felt so I’ll keep using it and hopefully see a difference after a few weeks using it!

    Mullein & Sparrow Mini French Lavender Body Oil -Retails $18

    This is one item that I know for sure I will not be using due to my sensitive skin. I’m sure that this is a great product meant for relaxing and hydrating the body and I wish I could try it out. I have never heard of this brand before finding it in my FFF box, and I honestly haven’t read any of the reviews on it, so sorry about that!

    The BrowGal Clear, Water-Resistant Eyebow Gel -Retails $20

    Ok, I have never used a Brow Gel before, but when I went to go visit my brother, I knew I had a long day ahead of me so I did my brows in the morning before work and slicked this on as directed and went about my day. By the time I landed in Idaho and got to the hotel it had been about a 17 hour day and even after being on an airplane, my brows looked as if I had just done them! I think this is a great product that will last a long time since a little goes a long way and I don’t need to use it everyday!

     ToeSox Toeless Fitness Socks -Retails $18

    LOL I couldn’t think of anything redeeming to say about these socks! They are just weird in every sense and not something that I will be using anytime soon. I personally don’t like toe socks, there is just something weird about separating your toes like putting mittens on your feet. I hope that some of you out there liked this product.

    Pure Cosmetics Nude Collection Eyeshadow Palette -Retails $50

    I was a little unsure about this item at first since I am most definitely a MAC eyeshadow kind of girl. I ran out of my go-to, everyday color and found that the 3rd one in on the palette was pretty darn close. This palette is great for getting that warm, nude look going. I use this palette for everything now, from my everyday look to going out, it’s a staple in my make-up bag!

    The Created Co. To-go Coffee Mug -Retails $19

    This was the third item that I got to choose. The other option said: “Joy comes in the morning”. While this is super cute, I have about 5 other coffee mugs at home so I’m not sure that I’ll be keeping this item (maybe I can regift it?) This is a cool company though because they donate 10% of profits to charity: water’s mission to bring clean and safe drinking water to those in need!

    BONUS ITEMS:

    Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushable Cleansing Cloths – Retails about $4.00

    This was an interesting item in my opinion, but I have found them to be very handy. I took them on the plane to Idaho with me and found many uses for them!

    Secret Outlast Xtend Clear Gel -Retail $0.83 (for a sample size)

    Who doesn’t love a trial size deodorant!? They’re super easy to throw into your gym bag, your purse, pretty much anywhere! I know I keep this around with me and it is great because it doesn’t have that overwhelming or flowery scent.

    The total value for this box is $234.00 which to me is such a great deal for the price of the box! I’m really excited to continue using the items in my Fall box, but I can’t wait to see what the Winter box has to offer!
