Target Beauty Box for May 2016 – Available Now!!

Got mine yesterday. I got a different color lip pencil in each one and I love both colors! I love everything about this box. All the products are new to me except the cleansers and they are my regular cleansers so now I have adorable travel sizes to use and refill.

Mine came today and I’m so glad I ordered two! Everything is good for me except the tanning wipes ( I like my color as is). I figure they gave me $11( in $5 gift card and two $3 coupons that I’ll use next time) so the boxes only cost me $4.50 each. So worth it!
OK, maybe a little crazy that I wake up at 2am to order but other than that, it’s worth it 😉

Tracking came. I noticed it was undeliverable? The cus timer service rep said she could refund me but the boxes were sent to my old address. I guess the system reverted my address to the old one. She had me hold for a supervisor who spoke with the post office and verified they had the boxes there. I will not be getting my boxes and have to wait until late they are scanned back into targets system to recieve the refund minus the 5.00 e-card. I told her I was very dissapointed. She said nothing. Annoying.

Since their price kept going up until it hit the $10 mark, does anyone think it’s going to become an actual monthly subscription box? Since $10 seems to be a popular dollar figure for consumers, marketing might have thought to slowly bring it up to that figure while consumers were garnering interest in Target’s box and then in another month or two they’ll begin offering actual subscriptions. They really have to make the box super special to make people want to buy into a subscription and from the comments it doesn’t look like people are 100% happy, but then again, for ten bucks, the pendulum might swing in their direction. Has any other sub-box done it this way?

I received my box today. I was happy to see the $3 off coupon inside. Lol.

It’s been 2 days and $5 gift card was supposed to be available in 4 hours by email. Anyone else not get theirs?

Is it just me or were the Target boxes far more exciting at one time? I passed on this one-and the one before it-and the one before that-and the one before that.

Got a box, but just got my Amazon box and it is AMAZING. Now that was a great deal.

Step #1: admitting that one cannot control one’s addiction or compulsion 🙁

Wanted to spend $7 on a Target Beauty Box this a.m, but down the internet shopping rabbit hole and the mental gymnastics to justify buying more…

I missed out on the Allure box this month and because I really wanted the Foreo (cleansing device) and the nail polish (green) – neither of which I knew I really wanted until I couldn’t have them lol! I grabbed a Target box, added a Konjac sponge, a Sally Hanson Lime nail polish and added a Wet n Wild eye shadow primer to get me to $20. Plus a box of tea to get me to $25 for free shipping (✓). This got me a cleansing device (✓) and a green nail polish (✓). The primer essentially for free cuz it gets me to the $20 for the $5 gift card (✓). Whew, I’m exhausted 😉

I heard from “Keith” at Target that there would be more May Beauty Boxes for sale soon. He didn’t say it was a website issue but just indicated the boxes were sold out. Getting sold out faster every month!

Uuuuugg. It kept saying it was not available when I tried to add it to my cart and this was at 8! I finally got one in the cart, but I went to checkout with my red card and it disappeared from the cart! Bull, ugh. So annoying. Oh well…

Very disappointing got my email 35 min before it was sold out. US it tge same day every month? I’m nit happy because that’s about the 5th time this has happened.

So glad I have finally worked up the strength to resist Target beauty boxes. They’re great, but the product overload is too much. I feel like Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout.

What a scam!!!!!!!! I immediately attempted to purchase the May box after receiving the notice and the system would not let me add to cart and it said no shipping was available. I even called Target directly. The HUMAN at Target was not able to assist either. Time wasted doing this. Lost me as a customer.

I’ve missed quite a few I wanted, but this is the first time I’ve actually intentionally skipped a Target Box. Even the tame Allure Beauty Thrills (?!not this time) that I ordered had more appeal for me. It at least had a couple things I knew I could gift. And I found the strength to cancel a couple subs this month while I try to whittle down the stash.

I sincerely hope this is not a repeat story of Allure Beauty Thrills, where it’s a really hot ticket item but the price keeps going up and people keep buying it out of habit, and then the value starts going down and one day suddenly there’s not such high demand for it (the last Beauty Thrills was available for 24 hours). I get it, they run a business with the purpose of making money, and we on the other hand want to see value. Let’s see where the good balance is.

Actually, this month Target sent me a notice at 0140est, but it keep coming up as sold out until 0300est when I was able to make my purchase. I think the ads went up too soon and people gave up. MSA is more reliable to follow.

Whoa?? I just woke up and they already gone. Glad I ordered last night before going to bed. It is like a tradition – to stay a little later than I usually do once a month on Sunday night and buy a Target beauty box.

What a great deal. I bought two boxes, used my $3 coupon and Target gives me a $5 gift certificate too! Thanks Liz. I so appreciate MSA and all your hard work to keep us informed.

I’ve missed the last three Target boxes. Why do they launch it on freakin’ Monday morning? Seems like the easiest way to discourage anyone with a M-F desk job, AND anyone on the Pacific coast, from ever being able to get these boxes. Every month it’s the same for me – check the Internet during my morning coffee break (or lunch break), notice I’ve missed the Target box again, vow to do better next month, try in vain to swap for the Target stuff I wanted, end up unsuccessful, repeat. That being said, this particular box was the least interesting Target box to me personally this year. So I’m not entirely beside myself for missing it this time.

So bummed…really wanted this one but missed it. It became available right after midnight after I went to bed, and by the time I checked email again at 7:45am they were gone. I wish they’d do a 2nd rollout of boxes for us West Coast folks, because we frequently seem to miss out on these. :-(. I guess I need to be more proactive…does anyone know if their box comes out on the same day each month?

I’m curious to see if the boxes will still come with a coupon since they are giving away gift cards.

I liked this box, but didn’t love it for $10…even less if I had to buy two to use my coupon and then get the gift card.

This is the first Target beauty box that doesn’t interest me at all. Good thing since it’s the most expensive one yet (I think)!

Got there too late. 🙁 Funny how ppl were saying they weren’t excited by the box. I *really* wanted this one (the derma-e cream was of great interest to me, and the Q-10 cream too) I just forgot to look until after they were sold out. Do wish it hadn’t gone to $10 – that will probably discourage me from future boxes unless I really want something.
