Target Beauty Box: June
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.

The box varies in price from $7-$10 so it’s relatively inexpensive to purchase a box. I like that you can choose every month if you want to buy the box or not since it’s not an actual subscription.

BREAKDOWN OF THE JUNE GOODIES:
1. Hawaiian Tropic Island Sport Sunscreen – Value for 2 oz = $2.25
The full size 8oz bottle retails for $8.99. Lightweight, breathable formula offers 12-hour hydration and SPF 30 broad spectrum protection. I’m going on my first vacation of the summer this weekend so I can’t wait to try this out. I’m a huge fan of Hawaiian Tropic Sunscreen, so I know this product will be great as well!
1. Jon Frieda Beach Blonde Sea Salt Spray – Value for 1 oz = $2.99
You can buy this travel size or the full 5 oz bottle for $8.99. Non-drying formula texturizes hair for a tousled look, windswept waves or piece-y perfection. I CAN’T stand getting this product in my boxes!!! This product doesn’t work on my hair and I end up getting rid of this spray every time I get it.
1. Sinful Colors Nail Polish in Clad in Plaid – Value for 0.5 oz = $1.99
This is a full size item! Highly pigmented nail color dries quickly and has a smooth, satin finish. This is a super fun looking red color. Perfect for summer time. I can’t wait to use it and see how it looks on my nails!
1. Masque Bar Soothing Sheet Mask –Value for 1 count = $3.49
Skin-moisturizing sheet mask helps hydrate and soothe skin for a healthy-looking complexion. While I love masks, I’m not a huge fan of sheet masks. I think that my face is too small or something because the mask is always WAY too big on my face!
1. Aussie 3-Minute Miracle Treatment– Value for 1.7oz = $0.53
An 8oz bottle retails for $2.97 and the 16oz bottle retails for $4.99. Conditioning treatment transforms dry hair into silky, shiny waves with Australian aloe, jojoba and sea kelp. I actually just used this and was pretty impressed with the product. I don’t normally use deep conditioners, but since I went a little blonder my last hair appointment, I figured my hair could use a little lovin. My hair felt great after using it and it looks a lot healthier!
1. Schick Hydro Silk Women’s Razor –Value for 1 = $8.99
5 curve-sensing blades with concentrated serum and shea butter moisturizer for up to 12 hours after shaving. Perfect! I needed a new razor! I really like this razor but I’m not too picky when it comes to my razors, as long as they’re not the cheapy, throw in the trash the next day kind, then I’m good.
1. NYX Gotcha Covered Concealer in Medium– Value = $5.99
Coconut oil-infused, waterproof concealer blends to hide imperfections without creasing or caking. I wasn’t really a fan of this or the brand. There are very few NYX products that I like to use, but this isn’t one of them. I’m very particular about my concealer since I tend to break out easily so I stick to one brand and one brand only.

THE VALUE

The value of this June Beauty Box is about $26.23. 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 this month was really good since it had 4 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 and I love trying new products every month! I can’t wait to order the July box!

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.
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!
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!

Target October Beauty Box

This is my third Target box and I am really liking what I am seeing from these boxes so far! I love that there are both sample and full size products. This is the October box, and I know it is December now, but I am trying to get all caught up with everything!

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 OCTOBER goodies:

1. Derma-e Hydrating Day Creme– Value for 0.5oz = $6.50

This cream retails for $25.99 for a full 2oz size jar. This moisturizer is made to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. It is ideal for dry skin that needs long-lasting moisture throughout the day. This product is great becasue it is 100% vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, mineral oil-free, lanolin-free, gluten-free, and GMO-free. In all honesty, I didn’t like this product because of the way it smelled and it felt a little thick to be putting on my face for daytime use.

2. Laneige BB Cushion – Value for 0.21oz = $27.20

This is just a sample size, but the full 1.05oz size retails for $34. This sample came with 4 little samples of each color that they offer which is pretty cool. I don’t use a product like this on a normal basis so I’m glad that I was able to try it through the box. While I did like the product, I probably wouldn’t buy it for $34!

3. ChapStick Total Hydration in Rose Petal – Value = $4.99

This is a chapstick with a tint to it. I personaly didn’t like it because I felt that it left too much color on my lips to be used as a chapstick. It did go on smoothly and felt very moisturizing, but I won’t be using it again. I gave this to my mom since I opened and used it already and she LOVES this chapstick!

4. Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer– Value for 2oz = $1.24

The full size 10oz bottle retails for $6.19. This was kind of weird for me because you put it on while you are still wet from the shower. It is a quick absorbing formula that blends with water to lock in the hydration. When I tried this, it was weird because it just felt like I was putting lotion on my wet skin but then when I dried off it felt a little sticky. After getting dressed and going about my day I realized that it did indeed feel like I had actually put lotion on! My skin felt soft and moisturized! I will definitely look into buying a full size.

5. Eden Peppermint Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner – Value 2oz = $3.90 for both

A full 8oz bottle of the shampoo is $7.79 and the full 8oz bottle of conditioner is also $7.79. This shampoo refreshes the scalp and stimulates the hair follicles. It is supposed to remove all traces of dirt and oil build up. it helps to alleviate dry, itchy scalp. The conditioner is fortified with proteins to decrease split ends and softens hair for less tangles. Both the shampoo and conditioner smell extremely peppermint-y and remind me a lot of Christmas time! The shampoo was ok, nothing special, but with the conditioner I felt like I had to use a lot more than I normally would. It didn’t really do a great job of untangling my hair when I combed it out. I’m not sure I would buy either in the full size.

6. Wet n Wild proline Graphic Marker Eyeliner in Black – Value = $3.99

This is a full size item that came in the Beauty Box! I was hoping that this would be easy to use, but it has a slanted tip which I have no clue how to even use that correctly! I wish that this had been easier to use because I definitely would have used it.

THE VALUE

The value of this October Beauty Box is about $48. Since you only pay $10.00 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 3 full size items and the rest deluxe size which is perfect for trying out a new product that you may not normally buy.

I think this box is a great deal and I’m looking forward to buying them every month!

XOXO
