Every month, Target launches a beauty box, and it usually sells out very quickly.
Target also recently released several holiday beauty kits and advent calendars. This is a review of the Spa Advent Calendar, which is still available for purchase!

Target Spa Advent Calendar Review - Holiday 2019
1 of 3
Some of the windows on this advent calendar opened perfectly, and others didn't want to open, or opened with no product behind them because they had slipped into a different position. Good to know, if you are only opening this day by day.
Mini Bath Bombs, 2 ct
These bath bombs are truly small- if you're an adult using this advent calendar, you might find just one of these bath bombs to be a bit of a letdown when you actually drop it in the tub. They didn't really have a scent, and they didn't have enough power to change the color of my bathwater.
Lychee & Peach Nectar Bath Salts, 0.71 oz
Ginger Blossom Bath Salts, 0.71 oz
Gardenia Fig Bath Salts, 0.71 oz
Peony & Rosewater Bath Salts, 0.71 oz
I liked the lightly floral scents of these bath salts, but there simply wasn't enough product in one bag to adequately perfume an adult-size bath. I also wish Epsom salts were included in the ingredients list instead of just plain sea salt.
Lychee Infused Face Mask, 0.34 oz
Rose Oil Infused Clay Face Mask, 0.34. oz
I like individually packaged masks like these because they are perfect for tossing in a toiletries bag for self-care while I travel. I really liked the lychee mask in particular, as it had a texture similar to runny blue jello that felt cooling to my skin and left it more hydrated.
Mango Mimosa Body Mist, 0.5 oz
I am a fan of both mangos and mimosas, so I am kinda bummed that this scent only appeared as a body mist rather than a lotion or bath bomb. The staying power on this wasn't super intense, and I actually liked using this as a light hair perfume for a nice twist to my regular routine.
Peony & Rosewater Body Wash, 1 oz
I really liked the delicate floral scent of peony and rosewater in this body wash, and I ended up using it as a bubble bath. It didn't create an insane amount of bubbles, but it worked well and added a boost of scent that the bath salts on their own were lacking.
Eucalyptus Blended Essential Oil, 0.17 oz
I don't diffuse essential oils to be on the safe side with Duchess in the house, but I like to add a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil to running bath water or the floor of a shower to give some of that refreshing zing I love about the scent. Eucalyptus is actually one of my all-time favorite scents, so I will make good use of this oil.
Lychee & Peach Nectar Hand Cream, 1 oz
Is it a spa-themed box without hand cream? I'll leave that answer to the professionals, but a hand cream is actually where I don't want a super-strong scent, so this performed well for me while adding a bit of moisture to my always-dry hands without leaving them greasy.
Verdict: I love the idea of having a different bath or spa item for every day leading up to Christmas, but a gumball-sized bath bomb or a teaspoon of bath salts that lack in fragrance doesn't really scream "treat yourself." I think this would be a good option for children who want to have some fun with bath time, but if you're an adult I say splurge on something a little nicer than this.
