Every month, Target launches a beauty box, and it usually sells out very quickly. If you want to make sure you don’t miss out on the next Target Beauty Box, make sure to sign up for the My Subscription Addiction daily newsletter!

My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

Check out all of my Target Beauty Box reviews and all of our reviews of Cheap Subscription Boxes!

This box comes with an info card and a Target coupon good for $3 off a beauty purchase of $15 or more:

Now, on to the items!

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Mascara in Black/Brown 03 - FULL SIZE! Retail Value $7.99

(Shades will vary. You'll either receive Black or Black/Brown.)

This formula was pretty dry for a mascara described as "Hydro Boost." I'm wondering if this specific mascara I received was a little dried out, or if this is what the formula is supposed to be. (Let me know how your mascara compares if you got this box.) I didn't have any clumping issues with this mascara, and it added subtle volume + length. Good for a no-makeup makeup look.

Up&Up Premium Cotton Rounds – 2ct Value $.06

This is a comically small sample of cotton rounds, but hey, it's good for travel! And these cotton rounds were great for removing my makeup - they didn't shred up with use like some cheap cotton rounds can.

Garnier Micellar Water – 1.05 oz Value $1.22

This makeup remover is very gentle and unlike some makeup removers that can leave your skin feeling dry, this one actually made my skin feel more hydrated! (I love this for spot makeup removal with a Q-tip.)

Sleek MakeUP Major Matte Lip Cream in Daydreamer - .10oz Value $3.50

(This is half the size of the full-size version!)

Wow! This liquid lipstick has serious staying power! (Like, hard-to-remove staying power!) The pigment is great, I love the matte finish, and I added a clear lip balm over it to add just a little moisture and a hint of shine.

Here it is swatched:

Colgate Optic White Express White Toothpaste – 1.45oz Value $2.41

(This is almost half the size of the full-size version)

I'm always happy to see toothpaste in Target Beauty Boxes! (I don't think I've had to actually buy toothpaste in years thanks to subscription boxes!)

I've sampled this formula before, and while I can't say I noticed any whitening differences, I like to think it is helping prevent stains from my 5-cup-a-day tea habit. (Plus the minty flavor is great.)

Eylure Accents No. 003 - FULL SIZE! Value $4.99

I think these are perfect lashes for any false lash newbie!

They are 3/4 length, so you focus the lash drama on the ends of your eyes, and you can get away without trimming these before applying, too. (With a full length lash, you'll need to measure and trim it to fit your eye.)

And these come with glue and a lash holder for easy application!

The lashes themselves are soft, lightweight, and have a very natural-look result.

Good Chemistry Queen Bee Perfume - 2 ml Value $3.46

I'm not usually excited to see a perfume sample in a Target Beauty Box, but I'm happy I got to try this brand! The formula is free of parabens and phthalates, and it's vegan, too!

It's made with essential oils and has notes blackcurrant, peony, and amber.

Verdict: This box has a value of about $23.63. That's great for a $7 Target beauty box, plus the $3 beauty coupon always adds value to me. The liquid lip was a great discovery for me, and I'll use almost everything in this box, so I'm happy! (Really, the mascara is the only miss for me.)

To Wrap Up:

Can you still get this box if you sign up today? No. Make sure to sign up for the My Subscription Addiction daily newsletter so you don't miss the next one!

The coupon expires on Sunday, July 8th so the next box should be released next Monday. I don’t think I have seen them issue a new box before the coupon expires.

I am wondering the same thing.

Mascara dried out fast on my lashes and made them feel really stiff…impossible for touching-up. I used it about 3x before throwing it in the trash. The Eylure lashes were the star of the box b/c I’ve never tried falsies before….they were surprisingly easy to put on. I didn’t have to trim them and they looked so natural. They stayed on all evening too! I cleaned them after removal and tried to use them again but they were too flimsy. But I used my Target coupon and bought more sturdier ones. The Queen Bee perfume is a bit too sweet for me…it certainly smells like black currants. I used the micellar water quite quickly (cotton rounds too…LOL). Can’t go wrong with toothpaste. Haven’t tried the liquid lipstick yet. All in all, this was a good box.

Got this one after skipping on the last few. I know it’s only 2 but I use Up & Up rounds already and these were so much cheaper/rougher/thinner than the ones I buy. It will be awhile for me to get around to using the mascara because I’ve got a backlog already from every other sub boxes.

This was one of my favorite boxes. I absolutely LOVED the mascara. It lengthened my lashes more than another brand that I have been paying $24 for. I even went back to Target to purchase some this weekend with my $3 coupon and they did not have any at my local store.

My second favorite item was the Good Chemistry perfume. They were also out of it as well. I guess I will place my order online for both products.

I haven’t used the other products, but I am excited about them as well. They will probably go in my vacation take-a-longs.

Target Beauty Boxes are by far my favorite. I only wish you could subscribe. I have missed a few because they have sold out on me before I realized that they were available.

I was thrilled with this box. I’ve never been brave enough to try false eyelashes, but these look so nice and they come with everything I need. I’m planning to try them out this Friday before my husband and I go out to dinner. He says he wants to be here to watch the show!! Lol Everything in this month’s box was great to receive… even the silly two pack of cotton rounds!

I got 2 boxes for my daughter and me and we loved everything except the lip gloss…it goes on very orange looking and then is very dry and sticky feeling of the lips. It was sooo hard to take off too! Both went straight into the trash…

I loved this box. I am one of those false lash newbies. I bought some a year ago but have yet to try them because they seemed too much and I was too scared. 🙂

I actually put these on for the first time this morning and I love them. They are pretty natural looking but way better than my real lashes which are short and thin.

The mascara was ok for me. It goes on pretty thin and natural, but still gives me some length. (But not as much as the Eylure lashes 😉 so it is possible that I may stop using mascara and stick to the lashes unless I am really rushed.

I got that color lip stain, but it ended up looking too much like my own lip color on me, so I didn’t love it. However, I had kept a very bright red lip stain that I got in a Target box a while back, and I’ve been mixing them together and the color is now perfect.

I would buy a second box if it wasn’t sold out. Target boxes are such a great value, even when I don’t love everything.

I received the waterproof version of the mascara in my box. Haven’t tried it yet, but thought I’d mention that it was an option as well!

Sara

Maybe that is why I liked mine so much. I got the waterproof version.

This was my first Target box and I have to say I was pretty impressed. I loved the perfume and I liked that these were “everyday” items to use, rather than special occasion stuff, excluding the eyelashes. Lol.

I really liked the mascara. It was much better than the sample of Marc Jacobs that flaked less than 5 minutes after putting it on.
I was happy with this box of treasures, and whatever doesn’t get used will go in the “to the nieces” box.

Has anyone else had shipping issues? I ordered both this and the men’s box at the same time. I received the men’s box last Saturday, the 9th, and still haven’t received this one.

A while back in Nov or Dec i ordered both, and they came separately too. Your email should contain the shipping notifications. You can see where the box currently is. In the shipping email, under the target notifications for shipping, there is also a link that hooks you directly to ups which has more details on the tracking.

Unfortunately it is only showing me one tracking number, which was for the first shipment. It only shows the expected delivery date on this one, which was Friday 🙄

I didn’t order this box right away but eventually went back and ordered it. I’m happy I did. I will pretty much use everything included. I haven’t tried the mascara yet but I did try the toothpaste and after 3 days I did notice my teeth were a little whiter😄

Hi Liz, the mascara was a little dry to me as well, and I had a terrible time removing it that night, which made it super clumpy.

Man idk which reviews to believe. Some people say it’s bad, some say it’s amazing.
Nothing in between lol
