The Men's Target box featured a lot of everyday products, and mostly from well-known brands.

It comes with a little information about each item along with a $3 coupon off a personal care purchase of $15 or more.

Dove Men + Care Extra Fresh Body and Face Bar - Value $.99 based on 4-pack of 4 ounces bars

My favorite item of the box is pretty basic, but smells and feels great - it's this Dove body and face bar.

The bar itself is slightly smaller than the 4-ounce bars included in their 4-pack - so, after some math, it's value is around $.99. The bar itself is perfect for me, I've been using this for the past few days and love the scent and light moisturization it's providing.

Cremo Blue Cedar and Cypress Body Wash - Value $.56 based on 16-ounce full-size

There were two different body washes to try in the June box, the first of which comes from Cremo. It's a typical body wash, but the scent gave me no hint of a woodsy smell - it's more of a strong cologne to me - not a favorite for me purely based on the scent.

Method Men Cedar + Cypress Body Wash - Value $1.99

The second body wash is from Method. Again, it's a cedar and cypress scent the just smells way too much like cologne for me. After two tests of each of these, it's probably more likely that I just don't like a cedar and cypress scent more than the smell not being woodsy enough.

Degree MotionSense Deodorant - Value $.79 based on 76 gram full-size

There was a single deodorant stick to try in the box - and it's a Degree MotionSense antiperspirant. It's pretty mini - but it should be could for a few uses - the sent is great for me and it works.

Old Spice Hair Pomade - Value $6.89

This is the big-ticket full-size item in the box. It's a light-to-moderate hold styling creme with a matte finish.

Nivea Creme - Value $1.04 based on 5.3-ounce version

The last item is something I've tried a number of times and really enjoy - it's a Nivea's moisturizing creme for your hands, face, and body. I typically use this on my hands, and typically in the colder months, and it has a clean scent that absorbs rather quickly and doesn't leave that slick feeling on your hands.

Verdict: My values add up to about $12.26 for this box - with over half of the value coming from the pomade by itself. For $7, that's a good value - but you'll pretty much need to want some pomade for it to break over the cost.

To Wrap Up:

Can you still get this box if you sign up today? Yes! As of 6/10, this box is still available! Make sure to sign up for the My Subscription Addiction daily newsletter so you don't miss the next one!

I bought 2 of these for my son and Dad based on the early reviews on this site.

The Pomade is ok, doesn’t hold as well or smell as good as Pacino’s. This will work well for my son as he already has other items with scents he likes.

The Men’s Dove Bar is great. I use the regular bar, so this scent is great. I will use this in our travel bag for us to share.

My son or Dad have not tried the body washes, but they did like the smell.

Nivea is always good, and it rubs in well with no greasy feel. They are happy with this.

Overall, good box and worth the price. I wish Target would have Men’s boxes once a quarter or every 2 months. I have only seen Men’s boxes twice.

I ordered 2 boxes, one for my dad and my older brother.

Yes, 3 soap/body washes, but I’m glad.
I have used the Dove Men’s bar before. Very nice, feels clean, moisturizing and bars last longer than body washes.
Method body wash: smells great and woodsy (hence the cedar and cypress name)
Creme also has a woodsy smell, again cedar and cypress
I use the Nivea myself, I can’t wait for them to try it.
Costco carries a multipack of the Degree for Men deodorant. This is great, keeps me dry and has a great, spicy summer fragrance that my wife likes.

Overall, I like this box. Body washes are great, the lotion and deodorant work well for me.

I would like to see other hair products and shave soaps.

We were a little disappointed this time. It was a lot of soap. It will all get used, but I thought they needed more variety.
