Target Beauty Box Simply Radiant Review – July 2016

This was an ok box for me. I really love the full size Dessange shampoo. Unlike everyone else i didn’t really like the mascara that much. It didn’t give me cat eyes and it wasn’t great at lengthening or volumizing. I did not like the brush either.

I was pretty happy with this box. I’ve already used the Derma E product and I like it. I love Aquephor, I always use it when I get a new tattoo, so I’m glad to have some for my next tattoo! The full size shampoo is great, but I do wish they didn’t have two shampoos.

Seriously?!? What is going on with my lashes? I was going to give that crap mascara away till I saw your review…. then I tried it… wow! Totally blown away
– well played wet n wild –
-I misjudged you, my apologies

When I looked up the Aquaphor(.25oz) on the Target.com website it says cost is $2.79. Walmart.com cost is $5.03.(surprised to see such contrast in price between the 2 stores).
I am wanting more because my husband tried it and its the only thing he has ever used for chapped lips that didn’t aggravate his cold sore.
When you are reviewing boxes is the retail value what you use to appraise products?,
because you valued the Aquaphor at only .50cents.

Wet N Wild is also cruelty-free and have vegan options, too. It’s great to find another inexpensive, yet quality drugstore brand that is cruelty-free.

I too love that dessange shampoo, I even tried to find the matching conditioner at target this weekend but they were out of the clay one. Excited to hear that the wet & wild Mascara is awesome. I really think they are stepping up their game. I am excited to try the other products. Like others have said this was way better then my Birchbox… I’m going to keep work Birchbox for a couple more boxes, then I’ll focus on these and the big Allure boxes!

That mascara made your lashes beautiful! That brand is one I remember from my own teenage foray into makeup! Thanks for posting that because I came really close to giving that mascara to my 14 year old niece! Now I am keeping it for myself. 🙂

Liz, I kind of laughed and Poo-poo’d the Wet and Wild mascara and the odd looking wand. (“What am I—Fifteen years old?!) but am seriously impressed with the length and separation you achieved with that $5 bargain, which means I should try before I judge, and stop being a mascara snob. Good lesson. Thanks for the informative review.

I love the cleanser and the Dessange shampoo. My scalp isn’t super oily but I live in florida and its soo hot.. enough said:) It worked wonders on my hair and made it super soft and just amazing feeling. oh and the aquafor ointment is awesome too. I’ve never tried it before. I put it on my cutivles at night and in the morning my normally dry hands and cuticles are so soft and moisturized. This will be a staple in my night skin care routine. I have always done my face but now I do my face hands and feet! I’m glad I got this box!

You’re right to a out sulfates (and silicones) I tour hair care products. Sulfates do fade color a lot quicker and for those who say it doesn’t well, you’re lucky that you’ve had that with your hair, but it does. Most drugstore brands are horrific for the hair. They feel good because of the silicones or water soluble fake cones cover the hair strand and make it feel better when it’s not conditioned or anything. Brands at whole foods and things are generally nice though, organic is good not just to eat 🙂

I didn’t care for this box :/ I have everything to a friend maaan.

I love the mascara! I grabbed yesterday in a rush out the door and I was pleasantly shocked! I will definitely buy it again! It survived almost 100 degree heat and humidity; yet, removed easily with makeup wipes. And you definitely cannot beat the price point!

So much better than Birchbox.

There were so many complaints in the comments of the spoiler post but I am so glad I ignored them and got the 2 boxes. The size of the samples were very generous in this box and I have been wanting to try a clay/mud shampoo to help with my seborrheic dermatitis. It is a bit drying for me so when I use it, I follow up with a good conditioner. The mascara looks amazing on Liz ! I love that she tries stuff on and shows us what it looks like.

I’ve purchased and received this Target Beauty Box before. Will I automatically receive this each month or do I have to go online and purchase it every month???

Bummer. I sent one to my sis but did not get one for myself. It’s better than I thought. 🙁

I’m happy with this box. That Dessange shampoo is huge! Some commented that it seemed heavy on hair care. I co-wash most of the time, but when I do feel the need to shampoo, I happily never have to buy it. I really like the L’Oreal line, so I was happy to get those samples.

After all the ravs about this mascara, I’m going to bump it up in the line and give it a try! (Wet n’ Wild used to be my fav – mostly for the price, but some of their stuff is really great.)

All in all, for 7 bucks, you couldn’t go wrong with this one!

I was amazed by the mascara too! At first it was going into my giveaway pile, but then I saw the brush and had to try it. Call me crazy but it is better than the 20+ samples of expensive mascara I have received over the past 6 months.

I am so happy I got this box. I was on the fence until I saw that the shampoo would more than pay for the box, so I took the plunge. My hair looooves this shampoo. It’s such a luxurious lather and my hair feels clean and shiny without being stripped of moisture on the ends. The smell isn’t my favorite, but it isn’t exactly unpleasant, either. Thanks for showing the mascara!!

Now I wish I had ordered this box.

Loving the full size shampoo! I am so glad you showed the mascara. I was totally throwing that in my giveaway pile. Wet ‘n wild was a brand I bought in 6th and 7th grade when I had no clue about make up! I believe their products were 99 cents or something. Ha ha?

I was so sad, my big shampoo didn’t have the lid on it and the entire contents of the bottle were everywhere! I got a refund, but I really wanted to try it.

The Dessange shampoo is amazing. Finally, a sub shampoo for oily hair. Dessange was a small, very upscale chain of hair salons. They used to have crystal sconces and Oriental rugs. My mom dragged me in once when I was a kid. I was terrified….

I was thrilled with both of my Target boxes. I’m looking forward to the next.

I really like this box. I am always happy with the Target beauty boxes. The price is right and I can use everything they send.

Always happy with the target boxes. Also a tip – if you have a target red card shipping is free plus you get 5% off, making it an even better deal.
