Unboxing | Target Beauty Box November 2015

I'm back today with another Target beauty box unboxing.  This box was released on Thanksgiving night or Black Friday and was sold out relatively quickly!  I'm so glad I got my hands on it before it sold out.  

This particular box was $10 and came with 8 products.  I would say the contents of this box total to be more than $10 so the box was a great deal again.

Like always, it came in a black box with red tissue paper.  It also came with a card that tells you what the products are and a coupon for $3 off of $15 beauty purchase at target that expires in January.

The products that were included in this box are:

• Maybelline Push Up Drama Mascara in Blackest Black
• Goody Ouchless Elastics Sweat Stretch
• CoverGirl Star Wars Lipstick in shade 30
• CeraVe Eye Repair Cream
• Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream
• Olay Microsculpting Cream
• Pacifica Love3 Eye Shadow Trio in Natural Mineral
• Hair Food Dry Shampoo

Like always with these Target beauty boxes, you got to see what the products on target's page before you make the purchase.  For this box, I was excited to see that they had the Laneige cream, CoverGirl Star Wars lipstick, CereVe eye cream, and the dry shampoo by Hair Food.  The price of the mascara and the lipstick together is already well over $10, so this box was well worth the $10.  

Did you order this box as well?  If so, what product(s) are you most excited about?

Unboxing | Target Beauty Box October 2015

Another day, another unboxing.  This time it's the Target Beauty Box from October 2015!  (I'm only a few weeks late... right?)  

I wasn't planning on getting this box until I saw the content of the box.  This time around, the box was $10, instead of the usual $5 or $7, but it also came with 10 different products!  What made the box sweeter was that one of the product in there alone retail for almost $20 so that's definitely a good deal.... right?

I definitely love Target's black box and red tissue paper together!  The box also came with a card had a list of products inside, along with a $5 off coupon for $15 purchase, which I already used for something!  

This box came with:

• Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick in Backstage
• Roc Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream
• Hello Supermint Fluoride Toothpaste
• Skinfix Ultra Rich Body Butter
• Acure Organics Moroccan Argan Oil + Argan Stem Cell Triple Moisture Shampoo
• Acure Organics Moroccan Argan Oil + Argan Stem Cell Triple Moisture Conditioner
• CoverGirl Intensify Me Eye Liner in Intense Black
• Olly Undeniable Beauty Grapefruit Glam Vitamin Gummies
• Goody SlideProof Flat Elastics 
• S.W. Basics Exfoliant

The two products that had me interested in this box was the Skinfix body butter and the Roc product.  I believe they advertised a Roc eye cream but I received a deep wrinkle night cream instead.  I don't really have a use for the night cream right now but I might give it to my mom, who will get a better use out of it.  I'm really happy with the shade of the lipstick I received; it was a nice darker red shade, and not some crazy bright pink that I would never wear.

This box was a steal for me because I can see myself using every single one of these products, except for the night cream which will be going to my mom!  Did you end up getting this Target box as well?  Do you think Target will put out a possible Holiday themed box?  

Unboxing | Target Beauty Box: Back to College - Honor Roll

Oh boy!  Has Target been rolling out with beauty boxes left and right recently?  Earlier last month, they came out with two back-to-school themed boxes and just earlier this week, they came out with yet another box!  Today, I have a slightly late unboxing of one of the boxes they came out with last month, their Back To College: Honor Roll box.  This is NOT their latest box that came out earlier this week!  I didn't get that box because I didn't want to buy it just for the sake of an unboxing post.

Anyways this time, the box is a bit taller and came with a bright neon green tissue paper instead of their classic red tissue paper.

I really appreciate how Target tells you everything that is included in their boxes before you purchase them.  It allows you to pick and choose which box you want, based on whether you would want any of the products included in that particular box.  I sort of wish other beauty boxes would do that, but that would take the surprise portion out of these beauty box subscriptions, but it'll definitely lead to less disappointed customers!  

The products included in this box are:

• Burt's Bees White Tea Facial Wipes
• Olay White Strawberry Body Wash
• CoverGirl Outlast All-Day Primer
• John Frieda Luxurious Volume 7-Day Treatment
• Bathery Delicate Pouf
• NYX Butter Gloss in Strawberry Parfait
• Goody Ouchless Elastics

Overall, I am content with this box.  I am excited to try the CoverGirl Primer and the John Frieda treatment.  I can always use more body wash, which smells amazing!, and more hair ties.  And let's be honest, which girl wouldn't like more lip gloss?

I was just on the Target's website and searched for the beauty box and saw that they are coming out with another box in September, apparently full of their fall's must-haves.  I'm definitely excited to see what will be in that box and depending on how I feel about the items, I may or may not get one!

What is your favorite beauty subscriptions?

PS: I am doing pretty well on my 30 day spending ban, even though I'm only on day 5.  But so far, I'm done with 10% of the challenge!

Collective Haul | February 2015

Sooo.... I failed again.  I know I said I was on a spending ban earlier this month and I failed quite miserably.  I think I'm just addicted to buying things and it's starting to get serious (not even joking!).  But anyways, I thought I picked up some pretty awesome things throughout the month of February so I thought I'd share them with you!

I'm surprised to see that I have some diversity in my haul.  Usually I tend to buy two of everything, so I am happy that wasn't the case here.

Soo, the products I looted throughout the last 20some-odd-days are:

• Nivea In-Shower Body Lotion for Dry Skin
• Goody Boar Hair Brush
• Conair Bun Maker set
• Laneige Hydration Trial Kit
• Tonymoly Mini Cherry Lip Balm
• Revlon Bordeaux Nail Polish
• It Cosmetics CC+ Lip Serum
• Origins Clear Improvement Activated Charcoal Mask
• Dior Creme De Rose

Although I didn't purchase that many items, a handful of these items were pretty pricy.  I don't know what I was thinking, probably thought I was fancy or something, when I purchased those high end products, but I'm actually really enjoying them! (*cough* Dior and It Cosmetics *cough*)  I'm going to try to justify my high end purchases by saying that it was my birthday month and I was spoiling myself, but I'm pretty sure it was just the shopaholic in me.  

Anyways, I really need to get on that spending ban.  I think I'm going to go on a 30 day spending ban in March so that I can purchase some things in April when Sephora has their sale... And hopefully this time I'll succeed.  *fingers crossed* 

What are some of the products you guys have purchased lately?

PS: Sephora now carries 8 different Tonymoly products!  How exciting!
