UPDATE: 9:33 AM ET - Link is working now!

~~UPDATE: 8:33 AM ET - the link is working again! Currently, I can't add the box to my cart on my desktop, but I am able to buy it through the Target mobile app.~~

~~8:10 AM ET - Target is having tech issues removing the $4 shipping charge, so they seemed to have removed the Beauty Box until they fixed the issue. Keep checking the link - it should be back soon!~~

I ordered this on August 1 and the tracking shows it in San Francisco as of Saturday and I’m in Pensacola, Florida. First it went to Atlanta and now it’s in California? So weird. I hope I get it! Anyone else have an experience like this?

Michelle

Awesome value in this box, even if they hadn’t refunded my shipping. I was disappointed that I received the fuchsia lipstick because it would look horrid on me, but meh…I have way too many lippies already so no big deal. Very impressed this far with the Target boxes! Thankfully I work third shift so jumping on these when they come out is no problem.

Tracy

Are we supposed to get both a shampoo & a conditioner or just one of them? My card said both but I only got the conditioner.

Suzanne

I only received the shampoo in my box. I did an online chat with customer service; the guy was pretty clueless about the beauty box, since it’s no longer listed on the website, but we worked out a $1refund to my account (I estimated that to be the approximate value of the sample).

Alisonka

You should have 1 of each. Call them and let them know. It’s target so there shouldn’t be any customer service problems lol

Mattie

You should have received both.

Alisonka

I just got mine in the mail yesterday. I think this box is one of the best values so far! It has a great variety. The lipstick color is pretty. I got pinktastic. Not sure if there are variations. I love this because I’m going on a trip in 4 weeks and have to pack super light. I have all the toiletries I need thanks to target beauty box!

Nan

I think this is a great box too. Mine has lots of goodies. My lipstick is ExtraordiBERRY which is a dark berry color, so there are at least two colors available.

Sugi

I just wanted to let everyone know that if you got charged for the shipping at the time of check out and didn’t contact customer service to have it removed, target went ahead and removed it themselves. I just received my shipping confirmation and it said I was only charged the $7 and tax so I checked and my card wasn’t charged $11. That’s some really great customer service and I’m excited to get my first ever target box.

Did they sell out already? I don’t see it in the mobile app or online.

Nan

The website was showing them sold out yesterday. Last month they must have restocked because a few days after selling out they had more. Maybe check back periodically?

Cheryl mcclamma

I only saw shipping if I opened with target app, when I opened with chrome no shipping.

Betsy

I am buying this box just for the Katy Kat mascara. I have been dying to get that mascara. It has rave reviews everywhere I look. So everything else in the box is just bonus to me. Super excited to try this!

Cat

I grabbed mine when through app when they were trying to do shipping added, used my last month’s $3 off coupon and just grabbed some of the Acure coconut and argan oil wipes I absolutely love.

Target Red Card Debit card is well worth it!! Not a credit card, simply just a debit card attached to your bank account…gets you free shipping on anything and 5% off every item everyday. I can’t wait for my box in the mail. 🙂 This one looks much better than last months which I didn’t hate.

Rebecca

It’s good so long as you trust Target’s data security. I lost money (regained it, but that took time plus was a total PITA plus other related, major inconveniences) due to the Sheraton data breach last year. I had to have two credit cards reissued because of the Target data breach not long before that. After the Sheraton thing – which took money directly out of my bank account, not a credit card where I could dispute charges and not be out money in the meantime – I don’t like giving anyone else access to my bank account.

If you’re comfortable with that, cool, but I’m personally not. Maybe if you had a separate bank account linked to your Target debit card, in which you transferred money for your Target purchases and not much more, it would be a good idea without possibly jeopardizing larger amounts of money that are necessary to pay living expenses.

Epaul42

Since the security breach, they did update all redcards to have the “chip.” which I believe makes them secure? (or at least more secure) I’ll be the first to admit I know next to nothing about that type of stuff, but I have very little money or credit, so anyone with my info wouldn’t make it far. haha.

Couldn’t ever get this to work on the app or using a desktop computer!! Guess it wasn’t meant to be today since it’s sold out now.

Epaul42

Last month I missed the boxes I thought, but when i checked back the next day they were up again. They seemed to sell out, but then come back multiple times throughout the month, so maybe this month will be the same 🙂

Allison

Late to the game and missed out 🙁 🙁 🙁 …Had such a miserable week and this would have made me at least feel at little ok. Such a bummer.

Dianne

Passed on this. So tempting! I’m getting to many products.

Lori

I’m passing this month. I really should have last month. I hope this isn’t a trend.

Khaleesi

I woke up at 7something, checked it out and then checked out (I passed on the last 2), then went back to sleep lol. Thankfully, I didn’t have any shipping issues.

Veronica

Shipping glitch I’d fixed! I just checked again and had no problem ordering the big with free shipping.
I ordered through my phone.

Michele G

I ordered 2 boxes this morning on my phone with no problem whatsoever. I called just now about the shipping and she nicely removed the fee and before we even hung up I had the email confirming the refund/new total, all in under 3 minutes! Very fast and pleasant ?

Orlee

Got it! Shipping was free, no problem, and I’ll use everything in the box! Score!

Cassie

The box is back up and it doesn’t charge shipping anymore!

Petra

FYI: It will minus out the $4.00 shipping charge but you are still charged tax on the amount with the $4.00 added…Last time it just didn’t add shipping and the cost was less. It’s always something. Wish Target would make a non-back to college box for us who obviously aren’t going back. Still better than Walmart, though.

Orlee

I’ve been out of college for 18 years! I still like this box!

Teresa

Target Coupon from the last box I’m not using if anyone wants it.- expires 8-13-16

JLYTGYNMKM7BXML $3.00 of beauty purchase of $15.00 or more

Nikita

Part of me really wants this because this is the first Target box that has everything that I will actually use, and some that I actually want to try. That being said money is real tight for me right now so I’m not sure I can justify the seven dollar price tag. I think I’m going to have to skip. If it was five dollars it would be easier for me to justify but as it stands I’ll just have to hope that next month’s box is good.

Amy

How do I get a target red card? The nearest Target to me is an hour away. Can I order one online?

Cassie

Yes! If you go to the Target website, you can apply online. I did this morning, but they said they had to review my application and I’d be hearing from them through the mail in 7-10 days.

Rebekah

Yes, you can apply online?

Amy

Thank you so much!

Kristine

Here’s 2 codes if the box becomes available again-JLYNDJV9MJMBXML…..JL7KGHYJ9VPBXML.
