I recently received the Target Beauty box I purchased from their website. I purchased the box on 4/30 and received it about a week and a half ago. I purchased the box for $5 and they only sell a certain number of them. So when I saw that they were available I nabbed one. I had received some kind of beauty bag from Target before so I for sure thought it would be good! But see what I got in into below and my thoughts!
This is how it came:
And this was what was inside:
The card that came inside:
After reading the card, it seems that this is going to be a monthly thing they are going to do. Similar to Glossybox, Birchbox or Ipsy. As you can see it also came with a coupon for $3 off a $15 beauty purchase. Since it did cost me $5 for the box, and I got a $3 coupon really the box cost me $2.
So now into what I got:
Gilette Venus & Olay Razor. I'm pretty excited this was in the box because razors are pretty expensive. This retails for about $8.99 (on their website). So the value of the box has already been covered.
L'Oreal Magic skin beautifier BB cream in Light. I despise these foil packet things so I wasn't excited I got one of these in the box. I've never tried this stuff before, but I am excited to give it a whirl. The sample is probably enough for 1 maybe 2 applications depending on how much I'll need. To me that is not enough product to determine if you like something or not. I honestly wasn't expecting to get foil packets in this box.
Next item:
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo, Dual action acne treatment. I have never heard of this brand before. Apparently it used to only be available through a dermatologist but will now be available at Target. Even though this is a foil packet, I'm excited to try this since I have acne prone skin. We will see if it does what it says it does.
I also got:
Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish strips in Queen of the Jungle. I have used these before but only as accent nails. I'm not a huge fan of the print of these but excited to give them a whirl again. Note, that they only fit certain nail types so if your nails don't have a similar shape that they are in, they would look really ridiculous! These also retail for about $7-9 which is a great value for the box.
The last item I got was:
Fekkai Glossing Cream. I've never used Fekkai products and I'm really not interested in trying this. A friend of mine told me I should sell it on Ebay. So I might do that or I might give it to someone that might actually enjoy it. I know Fekkai is a pretty expensive brand so I'm sure this sample is worth quite a bit.
Overall, the box was valued way way over what I paid for it. But honestly I wasn't that excited about it. I was most excited about the razor. The BB cream and acne treatment lotion should be interesting to use. But the Glossing cream I'm not really interested in and the Sally Hansen would have been better with a different print.
I'm not sure I would purchase another month of this box or not, but it was fun to see what they sent out.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Be sure to follow me on Twitter because I like to keep people aware of deals I see on there. You can also follow Target on twitter where they tweet out the links to deals like this.
Thank you so much for reading!!
