  • Target Beauty Box – April

    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 ScrubValue 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!

  • FabFitFun Spring 2017 Box

    FabFitFun Spring 2017 Box

    Good Morning y’all! Ok so I know I haven’t posted in QUITE A WHILE but I’m still here and I just received my Spring FabFitFun Box. So what better way to end my little absence than with a post about my box?

    I was super excited when this came in the mail especially since wasn’t too thrilled with the winter box. I am signed up for the yearly subscription, so I knew 3 of the items I would be getting. But that definitely doesn’t take any of the surprise away when I open the box!

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

    Ok, so here is what came  in my Spring 2017 box:

    GYPSY 05 Beach Roundie – Retails $50

    This was one of the items that I already knew I was getting and was able to pick the pattern that I wanted. It is a round beach blanket with a tassel trim and mine has a great spring time pattern to it. It is 100% cotton and has a diameter of 62.5 inches. So basically I’m really excited that this was one of the items in this season’s box! I’ve been eyeing these online for quite a while and the one time I went to purchase one, it was sold out; I guess that was fate telling me to just wait it out. These roundies are perfect for taking to the beach or for a nice picnic in your own backyard. I can’t wait to use my roundie for all my adventures this summer. Their website has so many different options to choose from and they’re all so cute!

    BRIOGEO Rosarco Milk Reparative Leave-In Conditioning Spray – Retails $20

    Does your hair need some extra love? This ultra-lightweight spray is fortified with a unique blend of rosehip, argan, and coconut oils to improve hair’s softness, strength, and moisture levels, while acting as a barrier against heat.  The tip FabFitFun gives is to use this after your shower when your hair is clean and still damp and then style like you normally would. I’ve used other products like this before, and normally I’m not a fan of deep/leave-in conditioners, but I do like this one! I like that I could just spray it on and style my hair like normal. I also liked that I didn’t have to stand in the shower forever and then rinse it out. This product is a decent price and I would definitely consider buying it when I run out of the bottle I got.  You can also purchase this at Sephora!

    MILLY Zip Pouch in Beach Please – Retails $45     

    Water resistant bag! This bag is the perfect size for stuffing your wet bikini in after a day of fun in the sun. I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep this when I first opened my box, but then I realized that it is great for transporting my wet bikini from my fiancés house back to my house after a day in the pool! It is also a pretty good size (10 1/4”x 8”) and would also work well for traveling and putting all those liquids in one spot rather than in 50 million little bags. This particular one is apparently not in stock, but they have plenty of other ones to choose from.

    DR. BRANDT Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator – Retails $79

    Reveal radiant and renewed skin! This formula contains aluminum oxide crystals, lactic acid, and smoothing botanicals to polish away dead cells and leave you with bright, smooth, healthy-looking skin. I LOVE to try new facial cleansers and was happy to find this in my box! I love the way my face felt after using this to wash my face before bed and then again in the morning. I obviously wouldn’t pay almost $80 for a face wash, so it will be a nice little luxury to use until I run out.

    KARUNA Hydrating + Face Mask -Retails $28

    This is a deep conditioning sheet mask. It allows pores to fully absorb essential nutrients and nourishing ingredients for ultimate hydration. I’m not a huge fan of sheet masks because, more times than not, they are WAY too big for my face and they leave too much residue for my liking. I’m not 100% sure that I will use this product so maybe one of my mask loving friends would like this. This product can be purchased as a single or in a 4-pack and can be bought online (see link) or through places like Sephora and Ulta.

    REALHER Lip Kit in Neutral Pink -Retails $48

    This product is made from natural ingredients, this liquid lipstick, plumping lip gloss, and lip liner trio are so pretty you’ll be kissing the mirror before you leave the house! I got the pink set and I have to say it is the perfect shade of pink; it is really natural looking and not gaudy at all. The pigment is great and the color was long lasting, I didn’t have to worry about reapplying while I was wearing this! Definitely my new go-to item.

     DEBORAH LIPPMANN Nail Polish Set in Blue Orchid/Like a Virgin -Retails $19

    These two nail polishes are a light cream color and a light kind of blue color, perfect for spring time. I’m not really a huge fan of receiving nail polishes in my boxes since I only do gel on my nails or nothing at all. (Who has time to wait for regular polish to dry anyway?) When I opened the bottle to take a look at it, it seemed like it was a pretty thin formula and would probably need quite a few coats to get a good color going. Unfortunately, I won’t be using this particular product, so maybe I can find someone who loves nail polish!

    EMERALD DUV “Joshua Tree” Cage Bracelet -Retails $80

    Can I start by saying…Wow the price of this bracelet is crazy! I would never pay that much for a bracelet! Ok, now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, this is a cute bracelet and I’m glad this was one of the things I got to choose in my box. The other option was these crawler earrings, and I’m not really a huge earing fan. This bracelet is a super cute cage style and was made in the USA. This will be perfect for dressing up or even wearing to work. It will be cute either on its own or paired with other stackable bracelets. This item is currently out of stock, but I attached the link to the website so you can take a look at all the other jewelry they offer.

    BONUS ITEMS:

    Nature’s Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies – Retails $4.99

    Nature’s Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies provide you with the vital nutrients your body needs to support your natural beauty from within. Vitamin E and Vitamin C are antioxidants. Vitamin E contributes to skin health, and Vitamin C is involved in collagen production and formation, which forms the basis for vibrant skin. Biotin helps to maintain healthy hair. I have used these before so I am familiar with the product, but this was a great bonus item in my opinion. They literally don’t taste like vitamins at all and I love that they’re in gummy form!

    NEW Burt’s Bees Protein Powder in Vanilla -Retail $2.99 (for a single pouch)

    This is a sample size of Burt’s Bees new protein powder.  I can’t wait to try this out and see how it works. It contains 15 grams of plant-based protein and includes 1/3 cup of real fruits and vegetables per serving. It also contains antioxidants – Vitamins A, C and E.

    img_5333
    The total value for this box is $377.00 including the two bonus items, 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 Spring box, but I can’t wait to see what the Summer box has to offer!
