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!

Unboxing | Target Summer 2015 Beauty Box

Surprise!  I have another unboxing today, and it's not the last of it either, and this time it's Target's Summer 2015 Beauty Box.  I have to admit, the beauty boxes from Target haven't been that impressive lately and I almost passed on this particular box but decided that $7 for an Olay eye cream was worth it, especially since that eye cream is normally about $20!

Now let's jump into what's in the box!

Like usual, the products were wrapped inside the box with the red tissue paper.  The box also came with an info card, with details of the products inside the box, along with a $3 off $15 purchase coupon (not pictured).

The products inside the box:

• Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Styling Cream
• Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in Gladiolus
• Olay Regenerist Luminous HydraSwirl Eye Cream
• Sinful Colors Professional Nail Color in Sail La Vie
• Cutex Advanced Revival Nail Polish Remover Pads

Overall, I am content with the box.  I will definitely be trying out the eye cream in the future, and I can see myself using everything else included in this box.  

Stay tune because I'll have another unboxing coming up and I just ordered another Target box yesterday!

What are some of your favorite things you've received in subscription boxes before?

Unboxing | Target Spring 2015 Beauty Box

Another season, another Target Beauty Box!  For Spring 2015, I have to say Target's Beauty Box beat Walmart's Beauty Box by a long shot!  I was really excited to see that Target was doing another Beauty Box and was even more excited when I found it at my door steps on Monday!  (Yes!  This box has been in my possession for less than a week!  I'm definitely getting better with this timely unboxings!)

On to the actual box itself!  This time around Target sent a nice, sleek box, unlike all the other Target Beauty Boxes, which were white boxes with Target logo decorated all over the box.  I actually prefer these sleek black boxes over the older ones!

Like usual, the products were wrapped inside the box with the red tissue paper.  The box also came with an info card, with details of the products inside the box, along with a $3 off $15 purchase coupon (not pictured).  

The products inside the box:

• Maybelline Color Elixir in Rose Redefined
• L'oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Spray & Set
• Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream
• SheaMoisture Superfruit Complex 10-in-1 Renewal System Shampoo
• Tresemme Tres Two Extra Hold Hairspray

For $5, I have to say the box is definitely a steal!  The Maybelline Color Elixir lipgloss is already over $5 itself!  On top of that, the L'oreal setting spray is full size and is worth over $10 in Target stores!  The value of those two products are already triple what I paid for the box!  

I'm definitely excited to see what Target and Walmart will include in their beauty boxes for Summer.  I do wish they will start including products that are good for the season, (ie: brighter color cosmetics for spring/summer, moisturizing skincare products for winter), but for $5 who can complain when the products in the box values for more than $15! 

Which beauty box did you like better for Spring 2015?  

Unboxing | Target & Walmart Fall 2014 Beauty Boxes

Soo... I'm terribly late for these unboxings but, it's better late than never right?  I'm so embarrassed that it's almost time for their spring boxes and I'm just getting around to talking about the winter ones, which came out around early December.  But anyways here're the products I received from Target and Walmart beauty boxes a few months ago.

We'll start with Target.  There were three different boxes that Target released and I grabbed two out of three.  First box is the Beauty Box For Her, which retailed at $10 with free shipping.

I really love the fact that these boxes come with a little info card, along with a coupon attached at the bottom.

Products I received in this particular box are:

• Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serum sample
• ChapStick Total Hydration Lip Care in Sweet Peach
• Revlon HD Lacquer in Sunstone
• CoverGirl Eye Enhancers Kit in Daring Nudes
• Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen in BlackNoir (sample?)
• L'oreal Butterfly Intenza Mascara in Black
• Laneige Water Sleeping Mask sample 
• Hair Food Thickening Solution

This box was really worth the $10 since it came with many full size products!  Everything except for the Boots No7 serum and Laneige Water Sleeping Mask were full size.  I'm not sure if the Pixi eyeliner is full or sample size since Target doesn't have it on their website.  

Now for the second Target box.  This is the Target Beauty Box Natural and it was $5 with free shipping.  

This box came with many products I was not aware of and I'm happy I get a chance to sample them out.

Products I received in this box are:

• Acure Organics Facial Cleanser
• Borghese Age Defying Facial Scrub
• Burt's Bees Facial Wipes
• SheaMoisture Coconut Hibiscus Smoothie
• SoapBox Argan Shampoo
• Skinfix Hand Repair Cream

I believe everything in this box is sample size.  But I'm not complaining, since I can see myself using all of these products except for the SheaMoisture product.  Btw the Skinfix hand cream is some expensive stuff! Full size of it (twice the sample size) is $18!  I'm so excited to see if it's actually worth that much!

And finally we have the Walmart Beauty Box for Winter 2014.  My box came pretty beaten up and stained with coffee but I'm sure that wasn't Walmart's fault.

I was kind of disappointed by Walmart because they didn't send me any e-mail notifications about the payment of the box (it's a subscription box so they automatically charge $5 to my account every season) or the tracking information until after I received my box.  

Products I received in the Walmart box are:

• L'oreal Oleo Therapy Oil Infused Shampoo sample 
• L'oreal Oleo Therapy Oil Infused Conditioner sample 
• Olay Fresh Effects Everything Off! Make-Up wipes sample
• Maybelline Dream Wonder Powder swatch sample 
• Maybelline Color Sensational The Buffs in Maple Kiss
• Nivea Cocoa Butter Body Lotion sample pack 

This time I was a bit disappointed in Walmart's box.  Compared to their first box, this box has less products that I am excited to try.  The one thing I was kind of excited about is the Maybelline lipstick, but the shade that I got was not a shade I would have chosen for myself.  There were coupons attached to the Maybelline Dream Wonder Powder and the Nivea Cocoa Butter Body Lotion.  I'm hoping their spring box will be a lot better, but you can't really expect to love everything you receive from a $5 box.

So, I apologize again for the late unboxing and I will try to be more timely with them.  I am super excited for spring to arrive (nothing related to the weather since the Bay Area has been enjoying a wonderful spring/summer weather in mid-winter...) to see what will be included in the spring beauty boxes.

Unboxing | Target Fall 2014 Beauty Box

Today's post is a bit late (time wise, since I like to try to post in the mornings and topic wise, since I received this box a few weeks ago), but it's better late than never right?  Today I will be doing an unboxing of the Target Fall 2014 Beauty Box.

This box was $7 with free shipping.  One of the main reasons why I purchased this box was for the L'oreal hairspray since the sample size of this definitely cost more than $7 at the drugstore.  Unlike the Walmart Beauty Box, there is only one version of this box.  Everyone received the same items, just with different shade of the L'oreal lip gloss.  To my knowledge, everyone received the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in the shade Milk.

The box came with an outer sleeve with the Target logos all over it.  After you remove the sleeve, you are left with this sturdy white box.  The products inside of the box are wrapped in a red tissue paper.

So the products in the Target Fall 2014 Beauty Box are:

• L'oreal Elnett Satin hairspray 
• NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk
• Laneige BB Cushion sample
• L'oreal lipgloss in Blushing Harmony
• Fekkai Blowout Dry Shampoo 

Honestly I think Walmart's beauty box was a bit better than the Target one.  We received more products and it was cheaper.  But I do believe the products we received in the Target box were worth a lot more than the products we received in the Walmart box.  I am honestly looking forward to using the hairspray and the dry shampoo.  I am glad I received the shade of lipgloss that I did not have yet.  I already have Laneige's BB Cushion in full size (in light) but I am excited to see if the other two shades will be a better match for me.  As for NYX's Jumbo Eye Pencil, I might gift it to someone since I don't wear eyeshadows myself so it will be of no use for me.

I am excited to see if both Target and Walmart will have their beauty boxes again for winter (I believe Walmart will be having one but not sure about Target).  I can't wait to see what products will be included for the winter boxes!

Did you guys get a chance to order Target's beauty box?
