Target Beauty Box Review – February 2016

The items on the Target Website for the Beauty Box have changed. Even though it says sold out, I’m assuming that the next box is coming out very soon!! Yay!!!!

I love trying different products and this Target BB is one of the best for me. The best deal available to satisfy my makeup, skin and hair care, and polish trials PLUS a $3 coupon. Can’t beat that with a stick.

I was very happy with box I always miss it but thanks to my subscription addiction I was able to get one so thanks

I got 4 boxes – to gift or donate some of the items – and they all have the plain/peach/nude polish and they all have full size “bathery” pouf sponges, not the ecotools. This box is still a good deal but since we just got the Laneige makeup samples last month, and surprisingly, the Skinfix lip balm has petrolatum, this is not the best box I’ve received from then but for $7 I can’t complain!

Maybe this is my subscription box addiction analysis, lol, but people who received nail wrap with design also received mini bath sponge? The nail wrap with designs are $2 more expensive than single-color ones, so maybe they are making the total value fair to everyone. Anyway, I am happy with my box 🙂

Had a rough day today, so I was so happy to see my target bb sitting on the table. Wasn’t sure about the samples when I ordered, but loved them in person. A much needed treat to myself.

I received my Target Box a couple of days ago. Luv it Totally!! Coconut is my Fav for hair skincare etc!!
The Nail item is a Beautiful Silver.. Bright Pink… Blue mix!! Luv the Skin fix the Lotion etc. I have wanted to try the BB Cushion… but wasn’t sure for color and now I can find out!!! Can hardly wait for the next one! I get 3 other Sub Boxes… Ipsy.. Birchbox… BoxyCharm. Of those 3 BoxyCharm is my Fav!!

I LOVE this box! This was the first Target BB that I actually caught on time. I got the Paparazzi nail wraps (dark pink and Siver glitter ombré-love it). The only bad thing was that the perfume was missing 🙁 the little card was there but there was no ampule. I’m very happy I got the face cream; I received some in another box and that’s almost gone so now I can put off buying more, lol!

I must be the only one hating this box. My sponge is an ugly blue green and smells like old spoiled makeup that has been sitting under the sink for a few years! My nails wraps are a confetti type print the same color as the sponge. The bb cream came in last months box. Kind of miss the hair ties!

Love, love, LOVE my box. Target is crushing these boxes, I can’t wait for the next one!

Got my box today! I got grey/blue-ish mini sponge. My nail color is called Paparazzi (I had to look it up, maybe written inside the package?) which is silver and pink glittery ombre design. I will save it for my spring vacation. I will save the sponge for house guests as I usually use cotton clothes because I don’t like the feel of nylon on my skin. The hair spray will be gifted to my sister in law who’s hair is fine and always looking to try new products. The rest will be used up.

I absolutely love everything in my box. Whoever picks these products out to send to us, got me hook, line and sinker. I hope I never miss another one. Thank you so much Target Beauty Box. You have won a repeat customer for sure. 🙂

I got the nail wraps in Brilliant Burst if anyone wants to trade. Looking for a solid color–pretty much any color will do (neutral, coral/pink, etc).

When do these usually go on sale? I signed up for the alerts but never recieved an email to let me know they went on sale 🙁

I love and will use almost everything in this box, except probably the nail wraps since I bite my nails. Those I will probably give to a friend. Mine were a cool, funky print and I can think of a few friends that would like to try something like that! I am most excited for the hair products and the BB cream. I like that it comes in a few shades. I am very pale right now and will use the light one. As the summer comes into full swing I will probably progress to trying the darker colors. For shampoo and conditioner, these look like great travel sizes; however, I like to alternate different lines with my regular line. Somehow this seems to make it work better and avoid build up from one product on the hair. So I probably won’t be able to resist breaking them out since I don’t have any big trips planned. I like the perfume, sweet but not overwhelming. I am not normally a big lip balm or hand cream user but these products are making me want to try and look like nice products to have on hand in your purse. I have tons of night creams and skin products so this one, despite its good reviews, will get shelved for now until I run out of the others. Overall, I think this box was an awesome value for only $7 with free shipping (and a $3 bonus coupon)!

I was hoping for the nail wraps with a print/design but I just got the one that’s sort of a solid coral/peachy pink color. Kind of ugly… My shower sponge was also an ugly green. Oh well. I’ll still use it, think the box overall was a good deal.

I bought 10% discounted Target gift cards before Xmas so that saved me a little money…

Unfortunately, the cap to the shampoo bottle was unscrewed, so everything was sticky in my box. Luckily most were saved with a wipe-down. Just annoying.

I got the same nail wraps as Liz and like them because I try to keep my nails relatively quiet for professional reasons. Even if I didn’t, that’s an easy swap because they can probably be mailed in an envelope with a regular first class stamp.

I tried the lip balm last night right before bed, which I really liked because my lips were super soft in the morning. It’s not goopy like some of the more Vaseline-y ones, but it’s not blah like regular Chapstick. It’s like the Goldilocks of lip balm.

I haven’t used the night creme or body creme yet, but I did use the bath sponge in the shower this morning. It’s exactly what you’d expect: not exciting. However I needed a new one, so I was happy to get it. I don’t blow out my hair that often, so I’m sure I’ll use the blowout spray, just not right away. I still have the Laneige BB cushion from last month’s box that I haven’t used yet.

Otherwise, I tried the Vera Wang fragrance and liked it, but I hate eau de toilette because it doesn’t last. I sprayed it on my arm to test the fragrance, and less than two hours later I smelled the spot on my arm where I had sprayed it and couldn’t smell any fragrance at all. I probably would have bought a full-size bottle it if it were eau de parfum.

I tried the shampoo and conditioner this morning. My hair isn’t overly dry, but I feel like the shampoo made my hair crispy, and the conditioner did nothing to help. I combed through my hair while rinsing the conditioner, and my hair felt kinky. (I have fine but wavy hair – I think curl type 2B.) I did my usual thing afterwards, using Miss Jessie’s Quick Curls, and my hair is frizzy. It also feels drier than usual. It’s unfortunate because I have things to do and can’t just hide in my office 🙁 I am going to have to give those away, but I still think the box was a great value. Not a home run like some past boxes but still good 🙂

This was my favorite box so far with the exception of the 2014 naturals box before Christmas – what a deal for $7! I hope Walmart takes a cue and starts giving better items too. I got the nail wraps with the blue floral and love them. Whoo hoo for Target! I really don’t need any of the items but love getting this box!

I am in love with the smell of the body cream. Love it. I got the “painted blossoms” nail wraps. I don’t hate it.
Perfect for spring. I have not ever tried wraps before so I am looking forward to it.
The fragrance is a little sweeter smelling than I like initially but wears very well. After a few minutes it softened to a more subtle pleasant floral scent. Might be a keeper.
I love coconut scented anything.
I am currently using derma e that I got from my allure box. i have seen this described as going on thin. I disagree. I think this is at least medium weight lotion, but I do not hate that. Maybe I am just applying it too thick. It stays on the skin without soaking in completely. I still feel it on my skin in the morning. I get the sense that it is holding in the moisture because it doesn’t all absorb into my skin. So far I do not think it is my holy grail night cream but if I didn’t see anything else jumping out at me, I might still purchase it again.
I am continually surprised at the value I get in items that I will actually use up from these Target boxes. Amazing.

Love this box. Will use everything except the hair spray. My shampoo was a little leaky but not much. Got the pretty floral nail strips. Can’t wait to try them. Another winner Target!

Loving this box. It seems like they put a lot of items in this time.

I got the Brilliant Burst nail applique. I usually go for neutrals, but I’m really happy I got this. It will be pretty for Spring.

Target does it again! I only wish I’d gotten 2 boxes. I was trying not to be greedy, but now… 🙂

Target beauty box is one of my favorites and for $7 I cannot believe all the complaints over the nail polish. I didn’t love anything, but what I did is worth it!

Bath sponge – Love it! I needed a new one and have been using this, it has a little exfoliation to it. I got pink.

BB Cushion – I was curious about this. I didn’t like it, so it was good to get the sample to try.

Vera Wang – I’ve received this one before in this box. Not a fan It goes into my sample perfume stash to regift

Derma E moisturizer – this burned my face when I put it on. I use tazorac so that may be why. It’s a good size sample. I don’t this for me going to give to my mom. If you want a further look on what’s in it http://www.paulaschoice.com/beautypedia-skin-care-reviews/by-brand/derma-e/_/Hydrating-Night-Creme-With-Hyaluronic-Acid

Mayfair Body Cream – because of the size of this sample, i’m carrying and using as a hand cream and i like it!

SkinFix – haven’t used it much, but it felt really good going on.

Again, what a great box for $7. Didn’t this used to be $5??

I just love Target boxes! Can’t believe all of this for only $7! I won’t use everything, but will donate or swap the things I won’t use.
I also got the neutral nail strips which I like. Funny bc i also received my Julep secret store order on the same day and ordered Whitney bc I was thinking I needed a good neutral color… it’s almost the exact same color as these strips.

I’m curious if anyone else has had this issue with the Target beauty boxes:
The last 4 orders I have placed for boxes have gone through, order confirmed, tracking numbers sent but the boxes never arrive. When I click on the tracking numbers–they don’t exist and there is nothing to track. Target says they have no idea but I can’t for the life of me figure out why this would only happen to me. Of course, by the time I figure out it isn’t actually coming it’s sold out.
Anyone else?
