Target Beauty Box June 2016 Review – ‘Sun Kissed’

Target Beauty Box is a one-time online purchase that comes out once a month and they always manage to sell out within hours. This one was for June and was $10 plus tax with free shipping. Sign up here to get notified when they go on sale!

This month’s theme was “sun kissed” and they sent items to keep me glowing all summer long.

Everything in the box. Wow, Target sent 11 items this month! Score!

The product information card listed the products included in the box and a little info about each item. It also included a coupon for $3 off a beauty purchase of $15 or more. Good to know: the coupon can be used in store or online!

Yes to Cucumbers Soothing  Facial Wipes 10 Count ($2.99) This is very convenient to take on short trips during the summer or year round. Contains cucumber and aloe extract to gently cleanse and remove eye and face makeup.

L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Volume Filler Moisturizer ($5.94) This is supposed to restore fullness, firmness, and smoothness through the use of hyaluronic acid, which is said to boost moisture retention.

CoTZ Face SPF 40 Sunscreen for Face ($4.66) This was recommended by my dermatologist and is a great tinted moisturizer. It contains minerals that sit on your skin (rather than chemicals that are absorbed by your skin) and has a sheer matte finish. Don’t freak out about the weird color that comes out of the tube; it is designed for all skin tones and won’t look that dark after you smear it on.

Laneige Water Bank Serum ($5.83) This product moisturizes skin for 24 hours with mineral water and quinoa extract. All of the products that I have tried from Laneige have been pleasantly but strongly scented so keep that in mind if you are sensitive to fragrances. That is the great thing about these boxes, you can try before you buy!

Pantene Expert Intense Hydration Shampoo ($2.03) This is a moisturizing shampoo so I will be gifting it to my daughter the swimmer since my fine hair is usually weighed down by these types of products. This came with a $2 off coupon for any Pantene Expert product.

SheaMoisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Creme Rinse ($2.79) Now this sounds more my style! This is supposed to energize lifeless hair with dragon fruit and lychee extract while fighting frizz and leaving hair soft and shiny.

S.W. Basics Exfoliant This certified organic scrub has 3 very simple ingredients: oat flour, almond flour, and sea salt. No microbeads or unpronounceable products here. Since it is dry you can moisten it with water, yogurt, honey, or oils (try coconut or olive) to customize it to your individual skin needs.

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter (50 cents) This body butter contains aloe and shea butter for their moisturizing properties and the scent (which is like a floral baby powder scent and very long lasting) is described as follows:

Original Pink™ Fragrance -combines the fresh scent of bergamot, mandarin, rose, jasmine, peach, strawberry, and soft musk & amber base notes. 

L’Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation in W3 Nude Beige This liquid foundation is soaked into a cushion sponge and contains an applicator that you press onto the sponge and then apply to your face. Use 1 tap for sheer coverage, 2 taps for light, and 3 taps for medium coverage. This came with a coupon for $2 off any True Match purchase.  It would have been nice if they could have come up with sample packaging that incorporated all their shades.

Pixi Mesmerizing Mineral Eyeshadow Duo in Apricot Glow ($4) I received this exact product last year in another subscription box and just threw it away last week. Imagine my surprise when I saw it in my box! I love the shimmery peach color and use it as a base all over my lids.

e.l.f. Lip Kiss Balm in Bare Kiss (Full size! $2) Minty fresh with a hint of color. This moisturizes with grape seed and jojoba oil.

Here are the makeup items swatched on my inner arm. From the top: L’Oreal True Match, Pixi Mesmerizing Duo, and e.l.f. lip balm.

Wow, what a haul! I really enjoyed my Target Beauty Box and even though some of the products are not for me I know exactly who to gift them to. This box was only $10 and contained over $30 worth of items! Did you manage to grab one before they disappeared? What is your must-have beauty item for summer?
