Target Beauty Boxes seem to come out every month in a time frame that is as mystical and hard to pin down as getting a good parking spot. It is not a subscription but it does seem to come out each month nowadays. You just have to be fast enough to get in on the deal when it posts. The boxes cost $5 to $7 or $10 and include shipping. They also usually have a coupon with $3 off of $15 or the like.
Wow this showed up only a week or so after the other one I bought!
Goody – Ouchless Silicone Lined Elastics: Ouchless isn’t really the word but I do like these a lot because I don’t need to make the band super tight for it to hold. I like the colors because all I will buy are black or beige colors.
No devoid of ouch but less whimpers for sure!
(Picture To Follow, I Set Down The Eyeliner Somewhere and…)
Covergirl – Intensify Me Eyeliner 300: I love black eyeliner. I might be a bit boring but I just think it looks the better than say green on me. I have been let down before by drugstore eye liners before. Usually I end up looking like a surprised raccoon with less fur but strangely the same amount of garbage.
Is it me or is anything that says “lashblast” sound SUPER uncomfortable?
Revlon – ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipstick (Fashionista): Ohhhh I got Fashionista as my color… do you think they knew I was Subscriptionista? Do you think the person packing this reads the blog? No? Well a girl can dream!
92% of women felt their lips were creamy and instantly comfortable… what do you think those other 8% thought?
RoC – Deep Wrinkle Night Cream: I am surprised that this is a full size! I am going to put this to the test on my forehead. Wrinkles are totally trying to take over that portion of my face. I don’t want to look worried all the time because then everyone will know my deep fear that I may have tucked my dress into my nylons…
I like how they say it has “Retinol Correction” like getting older is actually not what is supposed to happen…
Acure – Moroccan Argan Oil + Stem Cell Triple Shampoo & Conditioner: I have yet to crack these open on account of all the other shampoo and conditioners I have waiting for review. However it is nice to get little travel bottles and anything that is gentle is always something I can use. The stem cell idea is hilarious, we ought not to fall for it.
The directions accuse me of belting horrible 80s tunes in the shower… how did they know????
Skinfix – Ultra Body Butter: I always complain to you all about my dry skin so travel lotion is another thing I can use. I will put this in the car and “gentle massage” it into my skin in a parking lot. Don’t mind me, I am just hydrating where you park!
I like that it is unscented so that I can wear all the other millions of beauty products I use!
Hello – Toothpaste (Supermint): Whoa, I have been getting so many tubes of toothpaste from this brand. I have like almost every flavor now. It used to be I would just be stuck with whatever huge Costco tube I bought but now I can choose a toothpaste for my mood.
After my 4th tube of this stuff it stopped being a friendly “hello” and now it is more of a shouting insane “HELLO!!!!!” yikes…
Oily – Beauty Vitamins: One sample. I guess to show me that taking these won’t make me sick? Maybe they are a bit addictive and I will be craving my “beauty meds.” I dunno. They are gummies so I won’t hate on it. I love gummies and while they don’t make me feel beautiful I am sure watching me chaw on them will inspire poets!
How much did the person who came up with “Grapfruit Glam” pat themselves on the back for coming up with the name?
(Again I set this down somewhere… sigh…)
S.W. Basics – Certified Organic Body Scrub: This looks just like a spice packet. I can totally see my bear putting this on his oatmeal and not knowing he was eating an exfoliate. The packet says you can get 1 or 2 uses from it but I am thinking just one.
I have mixed feelings about it’s sarcastic “Sorry, no plastic micro-bead technology inside, oops.”
Verdict: This box was worth the $10 but again wasn’t super exciting for me. I guess I am a jaded jerk or something. I am excited to try the wrinkle cream! I am a bit bothered that they promised mascara but did not deliver. Not like I need more mascara but it is kinda crappy to say it will be in the box and not.
Disclosure: No affiliate links in this post!
LOL. I don’t think I can fit all my hair inside the hairband. Do you really have to wear nylons? Yuck! Acure has the best sayings on their packages!
Great box! I think you will love the ROC. I bet your furbaby and Camilla played and hid the unpictured items…
Oh where to begin…?
Jaded jerk! Ok, not really. Not exciting but I’m very happy with this practical box. I also heard if you contact Target about the mascara, they’ll give you $2 back.
No, getting older is actually NOT what’s supposed to happen! Right? It’s not happening to Sandra Bullock or Jennifer Aniston or JLo… Or maybe this is what’s contributing to my confusion and dismay about why I don’t look and feel like I’m 25 anymore?
Fashionista! Yes, they clearly customized that for you since you’re a world famous blogger! I got the color Flashing Lights – meh. I wish I had gotten Supermodel. I’m calling prejudice since I’m 5’2″. Think I could sue??
Ah I loved this box!
>Powdery sprinkles: I laughed at the snark on the back bc I almost feel bad about the sandy bits in face scrubs, buuuuut then I don’t care bc it’s basically sand.
>Acure: nice smell, felt good in my curls.
>Gummies: SO good! I want more pretty snacks.
> Roc: I still remember the way my mom’s face cream smelled when I was a child, and this has the pleasant sort of smell that reminds of it.
Verdict: giant box of cat toys! Seriously, Bella had fun knocking these items off my desk and she loves hairbands more than anything.
