Target Beauty Box – October 2015 Review

Target Beauty Box is released by Target.com every a few months. It usually costs $5-10 and each box contains $35-50 worth of beauty products.

This box is $10, released on Oct 19th, and is currently sold out.

Try the latest trends with our newest Target Beauty Box. We’ve put together 10 (10!) of our faves—all in one convenient box for you to sample for yourself. With a $49.95 value, this handpicked set of beauty products helps you keep your look fresh and fabulous from head to toe. Test them out and tell us what you think. If you love them as much as we do, find the full-size versions at Target.com/beautybox.

Here is everything in this box. It’s packed!

Each Target Beauty Box comes with an information card detailing all the items. There usually is a coupon for $3 off $15 beauty products in Target or on Target.com.

There are 9 items in this box instead of 10 as advertised. The Expressionist Mascara Traveler was missing, I believe, from all the boxes sent out. You can contact Target customer service and they will refund you $2 for it, which makes this box $8!

Goody Ouchless Silicone Lined Elastics (3 pieces, ~$0.8) – These are pretty basic elastics. I guess I can always use more elastics since I tend to throw them everywhere even though I have a drawer just for elastics. I need at least one elastic per each table (or surfaces that can hold things…) at home. I actually prefer wider ones, but I can still use these.

These must-have elastics are made without metal for reduced snags and pulls.

Olly Beauty Vitamins (1 serving, ~$0.5) – I love gummies and grapefruit flavored everything. Gummies with Biotin, Vitamin C & E and Borage oil? Sure!

An expert blend of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and collagen that promotes healthy eyes, skin & hair.

S.W. Basics Certified Organic Body Scrub (1-2 uses, $?) – This package is 1-2 times use. I actually have never used any powdery face scrubs before. I’m interested in trying this out.

Here are what the gummies look like. They are yummy.

Skinfix Ultra Rich Body Butter (28g, ~$2.2) – This body butter is for dry skin and my skin is pretty oily. I have tried a little and it definitely felt very thick. It’s unscented.

Luxuriate in a super-rich formula that quenches dry skin.

• Dermatologist tested and recommended
• Made with natural ingredients
• Free of fragrance, soy, gluten, parabens and phthalates
• Ultra rich and quick absorbing
• Natural shea butter, coconut and sunflower oils
• Skin quenching formula

Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipstick in Flashing Lights (Full Size, $8.59) – Color may vary. I actually don’t need more lip colors, but I can’t resist any coral-ish colored lip sticks.  I like the packaging with all 20 shades on it. There is also a $1 off coupon for Revlon products on the back.

Its velvety-soft formula moisturizes with shea butter and aloe for color that lasts.

Hello Mojito Mint Toothpaste (21.3g, ~$0.7) – Flavor may vary.  I need a travel size toothpaste on the road soon, so, this came about the right time. I had a Hello brand lip balm I think.

This dye-free, sugar-free paste safely polishes your teeth and freshens your breath.

ACURE Moroccan Argan Oil + Stem Cell Triple Repair Shampoo & Conditioner (30mL each, ~$2.6) – I tried these last night. They did make my hair softer and smoother. I also like them since they are very light-scented.

Restore your hair with the help of organic argan oil, which provides moisture to even the most damaged hair leaving it soft and manageable.

Covergirl Intensify Me Eyeliner 300 (Full Size, $6.99) – I absolutely love this eyeliner! I have too many black eyeliners already, but this one is just too amazing to be tossed aside. I like gel liners, but I LOVE liquid liners! This one has a hard flat tip which can draw both thick and thin lines. It dries very fast. I saw some smudging after a day of wearing, but not too bad.

Create instant drama with this intense black formula that glides on smoothly and dries quickly.

Here are some swatches of the eyeliner and the lipstick. My lighting was a little yellow-ish, so, the lipstick color looked orange. It’s actually slightly more pink than shown.

Overall, this is a great box for $8 (counting the $2 refund for the missing mascara). The total value is about $43. The eyeliner is my favorite item, but I also like the lipstick and the night cream. Although Target has made some advertisement mistakes, their customer service was willing to and able to help.
