Target Beauty Box Review – Spring 2015

Loved the shampoo and it is now a “favorite”. Worth it just for that. Great Box. I also loved my Walmart box:)

I found bottles and bottles of the L’Oreal® Paris Infallible Pro-Spray & Set Makeup Extender Setting Spray in the mark down bin at Kroger for $7 a few weeks ago.

I really liked my box, it came just in time (actually just after) my birthday. Shampoo & lipgloss were great, the other items were nice bonuses for me. I was very happy with everything and I am looking forward to the next box they offer.

My box was missing the Neutrogena sample 🙁

Haven’t received my box yet so I just looked at the shipping and it says it came to the Portland sort ( where I live) but then went on to federal way Washington. That’s so strange, it came here but did not ship out. I wonder why it has to make a trip hours away, only to come right back here. Seems totally wasted

Wow, I will actually use every single thing in the box and I don’t say that often with any of the 8 boxes I currently subscribe to. Target kicks Walmart’s butt and I wish they’d do a monthly box. The price cannot be beat. If you actually use the $3 coupon, the box ends up being $2. Practically free.

I just received my box and my setting spray spilled about 1/4. I immediately tried it and liked it. it set pretty fast on my face and it’s very lightweight. I haven’t washed my hair since I don’t do it often and will use the shampoo tonight. Like above someone said the lipgloss is amazing. It has a clear shimmer to it that makes your lips shine like the commercial when you have good lighting. The coupon from Target is a bonus. The Dermstore coupon is ok since they always have coupon codes available. Check out their Tuesday 2 for 1.

The part that bothers me is not the people that post the boxes on the swap page because they’d originally intended for it to be for someone else or etc, but the ones who purposely buy more than one box JUST to turn around and put it on the swap page. I, only have 2 subscriptions and don’t really have items people are looking for to swap. So I’d boil down to “can I pay you for the box?” But hello, thats wjat I’d wanted to do originally on target.com. Not try to buy off people cause they were selfish.
And as I said before, not ranting about anyone that had original intentions for the box to go elsewhere. I’m just cranky because I missed the box and wanted to try the Infallible Spray.

Heads up on the DermStore coupon it’s only good for $50+ Purchases .Tried to use it today. Didn’t see anything on the coupon that stated a minimum purchase. Also the Target coupon expires 5/17. Used that today successfully for LaNeige that I fell in love with in my last Target Beauty Box…

Just got my box! SUPER Quick shipping- its like they had them all ready to go and were just waiting to slap on labels because they knew they would sell out quickly!!! Thanks again to Liz for the heads up email- otherwise I am sure I would have been too late. This is my first Target Beauty Box I was able to get in time. I have been wanting to try to make up setting spray so that alone was worth the price plus. Can’t believe it was full size so cool! The Tresemme hair spray is the exact kind I use so I am more than happy to have a small size of that. The lip gloss was a nice surprise for me – I wasn’t sure what to expect but I got lucky and its looks awesome on me. I will use the shampoo for traveling. The face cream not so excited but my mom will appreciate it. Such a great deal Target!!!

Not QUITE as awesome as the xmas box… but still great for $5. Like others, I love the lip gloss.

Hoping for another men’s box! My boys loved theirs at xmas…

I love the Target boxes, it’d be so amazing if they did a monthly box. I bought two one for me and one for my sister but I might end up keeping both lol. I like the L’Oreal lipgloss better from last time, but overall fantastic box!

This box is amazing for $5!! I wish Target would offer a monthly subscription! Lol! And this is off topic, but Liz, I LOVE this website! I appreciate all your honest reviews, and the time that you take to send out the email alerts, if it wasn’t for the Target email I probably would’ve missed out. And also, I think it’s nice you started doing YouTube videos!Love it!! 🙂

I bought extra Target boxes, thinking they’d make great gifts for my six nieces and my daughter, who are ALL in their twenties. This is the first time I’ve even been able to purchase a Target box and I had no idea they would sell out so quickly. I did buy a couple extra ones, thinking that they’d make fun gifts for friends, too.

I just started on the swap site and I ended up listing a couple of my boxes, thinking they’d make for good swaps. I’ve swapped so many items lately, my available list was pretty paltry. However, after I read some of the comments on here, I realized I’d made a big mistake.

I apologize. I honestly didn’t buy extra boxes to have them to swap. I bought them because even though my immediate family is very small, my extended family is quite large and buying presents for everyone gets so expensive. I also didn’t have any idea that Target would sell out of them so quickly. However, I can see my listing boxes that were sold out was in very poor taste and could only appear selfish and short-sighted. And it was – selfish and short-sighted.

So, thanks to whomever it was who brought up this up for discussion. While I do want to take advantage of these opportunities to score inexpensive and fun gifts for my daughter and nieces, I will be mindful about not purchasing more than I absolutely need or can use. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement and think you need more, more, more – and I’m often guilty of this.

I appreciate these discussion forums – because even though it’s a bit discomforting, I need to be told when I’m getting too caught up in the material aspect of all of this and forgetting that all of these products, whether they be home, bath, beauty, whatever – are really just meant to be a means to enrich our lives and the lives of those we love.

I haven’t completely read this post but I’m excited. I ordered two just in case I liked the products too much. Who could resist at an amazing price of $5 each. with free shipping at that.

I’m so glad I saw Liz’s post in time to get this box! I actually ordered 2 in case they sent 2 different lip colors. Still waiting to get my Swap invite but once I do I will likely put one complete box and the lip color from the other one up. In the mean time I can be emailed at [email protected] if anyone that missed the box really wants it.

Thank You Liz for the heads up! I ordered one box and I LOVE everything in it!

So glad you sent us an email right away about this – still didn’t snag it but will keep an eye out next time!

Liz — as far as hairspray goes, have you ever tried Nexxus Frizz Defy Hairspray? It’s got great holding power, but doesn’t make your hair crunchy AT ALL and it smells amazinggggggg. You should give it a try!

Sadly, I didn’t hear about this until it was sold out =/ Looks like a great box…hopefully next time!

I’ve been wanting to try that makeup setting spray, to see if it is similar to Urban Decay’s version like some people claim. I would have been happy with that alone if I had gotten this box, but none of the other items would have interested me.

I purchased 2 boxes. I was very pleased, so was my 22 year old daughter.
Definately better than the walmart box.
I was able to purchase this Target box because Liz posted a reminder. THANKS Liz : )

Liz, I wondered if you have tried the Elnet hairspray? I don’t really wear hair spray anymore but got a few free cans of Elnet attached to my hair dye boxes a while back. It seemed to work fairly well without stiffness. I may not be the best judge though because I used to actively seek out the stiffness that the old-school Aqua Net in the white can used to deliver, (dating myself I’m sure, but in the 90’s it was the thing in my area lol). I know I’ve said this before but it’s worth mentioning again, thank you and your crew for doing all these reviews. 🙂

I missed this one – had been checking nearly daily for months but didn’t on the 13th and then on the 14th it was already gone. I still hope to try again next time they come out, though I never received the one I ordered in October while it was in stock (Target support kept telling me it would be sent but never shipped it, and then wanted to refund me – After I declined the refund they did give me 2 products from the box but I still felt a bit cheated) I am still waiting on my spring Walmart box as well – have been having very bad luck with these boxes.

I bought one for me and one for my mother for Mother’s Day. I think it’s a great value since I like the hairspray and wanted to try a new makeup setting spray. The lipgloss is “ok” but I love the applicator shape and feel so I may layer it over lipstick. I hope there’s a men’s one again, loved that one. Also, I wish Target did a home and beauty mix one!
