{Target Beauty Box} vacay VIBES

January 2016
Must-haves. Can’t-live withouts. Obsessions. As purveyors of all-things beauty, we at Target Style like to keep a lookout for what’s new and now. In this box, you’ll find a few of our favorites-just in time for spring break. Test ’em out and tell us what you think. And if you love them as much as we do, find the full-sized versions at Target.

Spring Break? Man I AJ have not been on or had a spring break in hell over ten years. I just dated myself, yes I have been out of college for almost 10 years now. It will be 10 years in May since I collected my B.S. degree and rode off into the sunset like the lone ranger. A lot of life has happened in those 10 magical years. I have worked many jobs and now I am happy to say I have landed my career, who knew a girl with a B.S. in legal studies would end up as a Quality Assurance Analyst?! I don’t have time for vacations, instead I settle for weekend getaways, in which my goal for 2016 is to take more of them. I need more weekend road trips in my life!

March16

Enough about me and my career, lets get back to this here box. I personally stalk target.com and constantly plop “beauty box” into the search bar and I get way to excited when I see that a new one is forming. They will list the products as a hint or spoiler before the actual box goes live. I stalk the shit out of the site and when it goes live I buy one and then run to facebook and tell all of my girlfriends to go get one. I literally have a list in my phone of people that I need to alert when a new box comes out, a girl looks out for her girlfriends. The list is constantly growing and I am glad that it is, because who doesn’t love to get a little box of pampering in the mail.

March 2016- vacay VIBES

March2016

Hair Food Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner: Uniquely infused with honey and apricot fragrance, this paraben and mineral oil-free duo gives hair a moisture-rich treat.

Not Your Mother’s Texturizing Sea salt Spray: infused with natural Dead Sea salt & sea kelp this salon formula it adds sexy, windswept & tousled waves and a light matte finish to any hair type

Sinful Colors Professional Nail Color: the long-wear, chip-resistant formula gives nails a professional finish and comes in endless vibrant colors.
—————————> I received Lie-lac, a vibrant lilac hue perfect for spring.

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask: lightweight ionized mineral water hydrates and restores skin overnight and has a subtle, calming scent.

Banana Boat Sun Comfort SPF 30 Lotion: broad-spectrum UVA- and UVB-protection stays on through sun, water, wind, sweat, sand, and more.

Nugg Deep Hydrating Facial Mask Treatment: 94% natural face mask features a blend of extracts and oils that intensely hydrates and softens dry skin.
——————————-> I received the Nugg Deep Cleansing Face Mask with cucumber extract & jojoba oil. Key ingredients include Witch Hazel extract and Cucumber extract which act as astringents to reduce the appearance of pore size, Jojoba Lite Oil to help dissolve sebum in a gentle, healthy way and Aloe Juice and Glycerin to hydrate and soothe skin. This mask left my skin feeling soft smooth, and a little tighter. I will definitely be picking up more of these from my local Target store.

you are AMAZING Juicy Grapefruit Body Lotion: moisturizing body lotion keeps skin hydrated all day long with a bright, citrusy scent.
———————>This lotion screams SUMMER!!!! Only thing is its March and mother nature has been known to drop a load or two on us in March/April. Sometimes Mother Nature will drop an extra load in May, ya know just to remind us that she is in control and that nothing we do will appease her. Minnesotans have a long road ahead of us before we see the lovely signs of summer.

Caress Adore Forever Body Wash: fragrance-release pearls give a burst of purfume each time you touch your skin.
—————–>I have received this body wash in a few other boxes and I am perplexed. The scent it wears off as soon as my ass is toweled off and when I touch my skin I don’t smell anything. Maybe you become immune to it or something, all I know is those magical pearls are not doing there jobs.

As always the folks over at Target put together an amazing box for an amazing price. It has become apparent that the box is now monthly, they just need to go ahead and start a subscription service and put the free-for all fight to bed. Then again stalking the site and pouncing as soon as that bad boy goes live is part of the thrill. I take my thrills where I can get them!

The Target Beauty Box is not a subscription service, they are first come first served, if they are sold out then you my friends are out of luck. I just checked target.com and the March box is OUT OF STOCK. For $7 this box is a great deal, that is if you can get your hands on one, they always sellout like hotcakes. So don’t sit on the beauty fence when you see them, just throw it in your virtual cart and call it a day!

{Target Beauty Box} Spring 2015

Spring 2015
“Must-haves. Can’t-live-withouts. Obsessions. As purveyors of all-things beauty, we at Target Beauty like to keep a lookout for what’s new and now. We’ve put together a few of our faves – all in one convenient box for you to try for yourself. Test’em out and tell us what you think. And if you love them as much as we do, find full-size versions at target.com/beautybox.”

I am a Minneapolis girl so it is in my nature to love all things Target. I mean I work and live in the birthplace of the bulls eye that we have all come to know and love. Target puts the chic into my lifestyle, bonus besides cute chic things, they carry the Muppet like dog’s favorite food too. Plus like hello, they just partnered with the Honest Co, and you all know how much I love the Honest product line. See Target is chic and Eco-friendly, oh wow I think I just described myself, lets face it “I am the demographic Target is aiming for.”

“What did you get in your Target Beauty Box?” Oh! I am so glad you asked, let’s find out!

Target Beauty Box Spring 2015

Target Beauty Box Spring 2015

Maybelline Color Elixir by Color Sensations Lip Color (Full Size): a trio of concentrates delivers the color of a lipstick, the care of a balm, and the shine of a gloss.
—————————>Hello people, we have a full size product on our hands!

L’Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Spray & Set: A lightweight spray that locks in your makeup for all-day extended wear.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream: non-greasy, skin-quencher instantly absorbs like a gel, but intensely moisturizes like a cream.

TRESemme TRES Two Extra Hold Hairspray: achieve maximum hold without stiffness or stickiness. Sprays on dry.

SheaMoisture Superfruit Complex 10-in-1 Renewal System Shampoo: sulfate free, antioxidant rich shampoo helps to renew vibrancy for dull lackluster hair.
———————————-> Just a thought, I think it would be nice if Target would include a foil (yes I said foil) packet of conditioner with the shampoo sample. That way one could try both and decide if they like the product. Not all conditioners work with all shampoos.

The Target Beauty Box is not a subscription service, they are first come first served, if they are sold out then you my friends are out of luck. I just checked target.com and the spring 2015 box is out of stock. For $5 this box is a great deal, that is if you can get your hands on one, they always sellout like hotcakes. So don’t sit on the beauty fence when you see them, just throw it in your virtual cart and call it a day!

Early Cyber Monday the interwebs were a buzz that Target had released not one, not two, but three new beauty boxes. As you know I love all things Target and organic/natural brands. So it was a happy coincidence that Target had a natural beauty box. The $5.00 box was a $25.00 value and I snapped it up as soon a I could. It took about two weeks for it to get to me, they ship slow for some reason.

{Target} Beauty Box Spring 2014

Target Beauty Box Spring 2014

Target Beauty Box Spring 2014

I had heard rumblings on Facebook that big box retailer Target was selling a Beauty Box for $5.00 online. Target is a Minnesota Company and I love all things local, therefore I shop at target ALOT! Besides who would pass up a $5.00 subscription box, definitely not this girl. The cost of Target’s Beauty Box was $5.00 with a promise of free shipping. When I placed my order it charged me for shipping so my $5.00 box turned into an $11.82 box.

Never fear my friends, I made a quick call to customer service and was instantly credited for the shipping. Yay! My box was back to $5.00, since Target is based here in MN I had to pay a little tax. But, who cares, the darn box was dirt cheap and I could not wait to try all of the products.

If you have yet to nab a Target Beauty Box, you are sadly out of luck, as they sold out with in minutes. Everyone loved a great deal, especially when it includes awesome products!

“What did you get in your Target Beauty Box?” Oh! I am so glad you asked, let’s find out!

Target Beauty Box

Target: Beauty Box Spring 2014

TONI&GUY Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray: Spray from root to tip for salty, sultry texture and subtle, windswept waves.

L’Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara: Stretch and lengthen lashes for a fluttery, winged-out look with this unique mascara formula and revolutionary asymmetrical Butterfly Brush.
——————> I am in love with this mascara. I have long lashes to begin with and this gives me that classic glam look.

Herbal Essences Naked Dry Shampoo: Give hair a rejuvenating boost with this paraben and colorant-free formula made with natural tapioca to instantly absorb excess oil with less residue.

COVERGIRL Smoochies Sizzle Gloss: Sheer color meets sizzling shimmer in a moisturizing formula that’s always stunning, never sticky.
———————–> The gloss smells like cotton candy and has a light color. I feel that it is a bit to tacky for my taste. The texture not the color folks.

Jergens BB Cream Light: a multi-tasking beauty cream in a quick-drying formula that goes on sheer and delivers visible results in just 5 days.
——————> This is now my every day lotion. We got a coupon for $3.00 off of a $15.00 beauty purchase at Target, I used my coupon to buy this lotion and a few other things. The smell is amazing and I can actually see a difference in my skin. My legs no longer appear splotchy and red, they are a nice even tone. Same goes for my arms and the rest of me. I hands down love this lotion. If you don’t own it, go get it now!
