Target Beauty Box


Hello beauty lovers!
As you know from my last post, I am a bit obsessed with subscription box services lately! When I saw that Target was jumping on the beauty box bandwagon, I knew I had to have it! Com'on, it's Target! How could I not?
The Target Beauty Box isn't a monthly subscription but rather a one time purchase. I love this because you can decided whether or not you want to purchase the box based upon what products are being sent, which is something you can't really do with other beauty boxes. I purchased mine and received the box a little less than two weeks later! I really, really, really love the idea of these boxes! I think the value of the box is fabulous considering that for a measly $7 (which includes shipping) you get full sized items and very deluxe sized sample products! I also love that the boxes are basically all the same with the exception of the products only varying by color!
The product I was most excited about was the L'Oreal Colour Riche Extraordinaire Lip Color! I am a huge fan of these and already have them in a handful of  colors! Honestly, these sell for $8-$10 alone, so the box more than pays for itself in this one product! I received the color Ruby Opera which is a gorgeous red color that borders on a mix of true red and brick red (but not super dark). I didn't have this color in my collection so I was really happy! I think it will be the perfect red color for the holiday season! 
The next product I was really excited to try was the L'Oreal Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Hair Spray! Seriously.. this stuff runs about $14.99 for a full sized bottle. Granted this is just a small (but deluxe) sample at 2.2oz, but I've heard great things about it and have been wanting to try it for a while now! I'm glad I can sample it now without having to commit to a $15 bottle of something I might hate! 
I've also been on a bit of a jumbo eye pencil kick lately, so I was glad to see that this box had a Nyx one! I basically love everything Nyx, so I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. I received the color Milk (604), which I will probably use as an eyeshadow base or along my inner water line to brighten my eyes! 
I do like to use a dry shampoo on occasion, so I wasn't upset to see a deluxe sized same of Fekkai Professional Blowout Hair Refresher Dry Shampoo. I have super thin and basically lifeless hair, so sometimes I like to tszuj it up a little bit with dry shampoo! I typically apply a little to my roots near my crown and my bangs so it helps to add a bit of texture and grip to my hair when it's squeaky clean!

The last item, Laneige BB Cushion, was one that I have never heard of before, but according to Target's website, it is exclusive to Target. We all know I'm not a fan of BB Creams, but I will give this a shot since the website states that it "prevents shine". I'm skeptical, but we shall see! Plus, it's always fun to try new things! :)

Overall, I am really happy with the Target Beauty Box! I love the idea and think the value is really great! I seriously hope they keep doing these because the price is definitely right for me and I will probably continue to purchase them as they release new ones!

If you subscribe to (or purchase) any beauty boxes or other types of boxes, I would love to hear about them! I'm always looking to try new ones! 

As always, thanks so much for reading!
