Target Beauty Box releases seasonally and is a first come first serve when we are sold out tough luck kind of deal. Keep in mind they sell out quickly! The last one cost $5, but this one was selling for $7.
After receiving them I have to say that we are both quite pleased with the value of the boxes and we are even trading hair products with each other.
So in this review I will be going over her products as well as mine.

| My Box |
Let's start with the products that were in both boxes shall we?
Cutex Advanced Revival Nail Polish Remover Pads $1.20
I've been doing my nails a lot recently so remover pads are a nice addition. I like that they included this with nail polish (like a mini theme to the box)
Olay Regenerist Luminous Dark Circle Correcting Hydraswirl Eye Cream $23
I'm not big on eye cremes but I'm willing to give this one a try to see if it works on my dark circles. Coffee isn't enough to get rid of them!
Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in the color Gladiolus $7.99
Wow this is a very pigmented bright red lipstick. I'm a more neutral shade kind of gal but I'll give this a try and rock out that 1920's look for a day! Not to mention I can always try putting one of my neutrals over it to mellow it out.
Now the rest of these items varied from box to box. Everyone received a Sinful Colors nail polish but the colors seemed to vary from box to box. It retails for $2 and has a formulation that stood the test with the big boys (Chanel) and won! I got Supernova, a metallic bronze color with pink undertones.
My Mother-in-law's box had the color Thimbleberry, which is a shimmery coral pink. For a moment I was jealous of her color, then I realized that I just purchased a bunch of nail stamps and this lovely metallic will go great with all my other colors of nail polish! So I think it worked out nicely.
The other item I received was Fekkai Soleil Hair Mist, 1.7oz $8
This product brags about being a SPF for your hair that adds shine and a subtle citrus scent. I have super fine hair so the sunflower seed oil in it and the shine effect are the last thing that I want. I'll look like a grease-ball! My Mother-in-law on the other hand has color treated hair that is a bit coarser and tends to have some fuzz on hot days. So a UV color protecting fuzz eliminating shine enhancing product is right up her ally! (off it goes to her hands!)
She received Fekkai Blowout Dry Shampoo, 1.7oz $10
Now this is a product that I can give a go. I get greasy hair in the summertime so this hair refresher is just what I need to keep me going all day without having to jump in the shower 3 times. So yeah.... hair product trade!
Also included is a $3 off coupon for any beauty purchase at Target (of $15 or more... easy to do) and if you were one of the lucky ones you could register with Revlon to get a $5 Target gift card. Revlon also includes a $1 off coupon for the Ultra HD lipstick as well.
I've heard a lot of haters talking about the Target Beauty Box and how they weren't happy with the purchase and what they received. May I just say that its full disclosure with Target. They showed you a picture of the box and listed what you would be receiving AND it was only $7. A $41-45 value (not including coupons) for $7... Really?!?! Why complain? I think its great. Even if I don't use all the products forever and ever Target got me out of my comfort zone and let me try new things and isn't that the point of it all?
What do you all think of the box this season? Are you going to try and snag one next time? I'll tell you what, I'll race you to Target's website (because I'm going to try to snag one every time they sell them!)
