Too Many Target Beauty Boxes (Pt. 2): July2018

 

  

Every month Target releases at least one beauty box that ranges in cost from $5 to $10. Let’s be honest, they are usually pretty underwhelming and as a result, I'm only intrigued enough to buy one every 2 to 3 months. The good thing about these boxes is that they are stuffed with generally useful items you can find in Target stores or online (think deodorant, toothpaste, etc). The downside is that they can be entirely underwhelming because they are not innovative in the slightest.

Too Many Target Beauty Boxes (Pt. 1): April 2018

Oh my god, let’s take this all the way back to April for a bit.

Every month Target releases at least one beauty box that ranges in cost from $5 to $10. Let’s be honest, they are usually pretty underwhelming and as a result, I only buy one that piques my interest every 2 to 3 months. The good thing about these boxes is that they are stuffed with items you can find in Target stores or online. The downside is that they are usually extremely generic products (so as to reach a wider audience) or just entirely underwhelming because they are not innovative in the slightest.

This is going to be a mega post of sorts, covering two boxes I purchased back in April and two I bought in July (after writing 6 pages in Microsoft Word I had to just break this into two different posts).

January 2018 Target Best of Boots Beauty Box Review

Ugh, I thought I was done with the interminable month of beauty boxes that was January but no, there’s still the January Best of Boots TargetBeauty Box. I can make this really succinct: there was more than just skincare? Meh to that! Sorry for the shoddy review here but that’s about how excited I was after I was after I opened the box and saw what was inside. I think I was just initially salty because I was so excited when I ordered this box, nearly bursting with anticipation and the letdown when I opened it and saw the actual contents and sizes was palpable. I’ve had a couple of months to get over it but writing this just made my eye twitch at the memory. As I upload this I realized I have gone through many of the products that I've mentioned and I've also lost the pictures I had stored on my phone of them. This is both embarrassing and infuriating and I sincerely apologize for this faux pas.

Target Beauty Box Review November 2017

November had barely even started and my Target Beauty Box had arrived in the mail. Yes, my busy (lazy?) ass hasn't gotten around to reviewing it until halfway through the month but let's pretend that gave me more time to experience the items within, shall we?

Target Beauty Box September 2017

Every month Target releases a non-subscription beauty box that ranges from anywhere between $5-10. Items included in the box are typically things one would find in the store and samples are sometimes foil packets but more often than not deluxe sized samples with the occasional full sized item thrown in. This month two boxes were released but since I'm a lazy blogger I only purchased the Your New Basics box for $7 (the other box contained mostly foil packets of brands and items that were not new to me). Both the Your New Basics and Total Hydration boxes are still available for purchase at $7 if you're interested.

May Target Beauty Box

Target Beauty Box time! My mother-in-law buys these for me every month because she sees my eyes light up every time I pass by the makeup aisle in Target. That being said, I am a total ungrateful bitch but I look forward to these far less than my Birchbox and Ipsy subscriptions, but most things in the boxes are pretty useful and the value is always above the $5-10 price point. Knowing that I'm such a great salesperson (har) I threw in a link for you guys if you wanted to grab it since it's still available at $10.

This month's box included:

• Nexxus Shampoo - $0.17
• Nexxus Conditioner - $0.22
• Nexxus Vitall 8-in-1 Masque - $3.99
• ACURE Pore-Minimizing Red Clay Mask - $8.99 CF, V
• Nubian Heritage Bath Bombs - $7.50 CF
• Wet n Wild MegaLast Liquid Catsuit Lipstick - $4.99 CF, Full Sized
• Vichy Pore-Purifying Clay Mask - $1.84 CF
