March 2016 Target Beauty Box

Cost: $5

Value: $17+

This was the monthly Target Beauty Box that went live on Feb 29 for a mere $5. As usual, it comes with free shipping and a complimentary $3 off coupon that can be used offline or online.

I absolutely love these boxes. They’re great value and I usually find myself using 80~90% of all items. As subscription boxes go, it’s a high number for me.

Order was processed on 2/29. Box shipped 3/01 and arrived 3/04 evening, four days earlier than the predicted timeframe.

This was a smaller, flatter box than February’s box, perfect for stashing samples. It arrived unscathed, unlike last time where my box had a huge dent on the side. (This could be the doing of my mailman, though; he has a penchant for chucking packages at doors 😦 )

Box theme is “Vacay Vibes,” with its contents described as:

“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 version at: Target.com/BeautyBox.”

Product included are:

• Hair Food Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner
• Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray
• SinfulColors Professional Nail Color (Color differs for everyone)
• you are AMAZING Juicy Grapefruit Body Lotion
• Laneige Water Sleeping Mask
• Banana Boat Sun Comfort SPF 30 Lotion
• nügg Face Mask (Differs for everyone; I received the “anti-aging”)
• Caress Adore Forever Body Wash

Generous DS & FS items! There are eight products, which means you’re basically paying 60 cents for each item.

For five bucks, this was a complete steal. Other than the Caress Body Wash, I see myself using every item. I especially like the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask, Hairfood shampoo, and the Nugg Mask. Already tried the Nugg mask and while it tingles (may be uncomfortable for some), it leaves your skin fresh, moisturized, and even.

These boxes come out every month, so be on the lookout! They go fast, and when they’re gone they’re gone.
