Every month Target launches non-subscription Target Beauty Boxes.  Depending on the contents, they are themed and cost $5-10, and sell out quickly!  This one is surprisingly still available!

November’s box had the theme “Beauty Ballot” with must-haves for your fall beauty routine. The card reminds you that you can find the full-sized version at Target.com/beautybox.

The information card gives brief details on each item, and there’s a $3 off $15 coupon too.

DEAL: Save 5% when you use your Target Red Card.

The November Target Beauty Box was $10 and promised a $38 value.

L’Oréal Advanced HairCare Volume Filler Thickening Shampoo (51¢) I have fine, thin hair so I was really happy to see this in the box! It’s has mixed reviews on Target and Amazon but I thought I noticed some additional fullness, so I will keep on testing it out!

HASK Keratin Protein Soothing Deep Conditioner ($1.99) This deep conditioner is free of sulfates and phthalates! It’s packed with keratin for high shine and silky soft hair. I don’t love the packet style for my short hair, but this will be great as a single-use item for those with long hair. I didn’t want to test these two together, so I’m trying it out tonight.

This was a bit of an odd combo – those who need volume don’t always need deep conditioning, but I happen to need both, so I was happy with this!

Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Beautiful Day Cream ($5.88) The first thing I noticed about this day cream was the “1000 roses!” If you love rose you will love this item. I don’t care for the scent, but it dissipated quickly and true to its word didn’t bug my somewhat sensitive skin, which felt hydrated afterwards. This day cream also contains hyaluronic acid and aloe vera to pump up the moisture!

Laneige Water Bank Soothing Mask ($4.80) I’m a little disappointed to receive Laneige in every box (is it the Target Beauty Box or the LaNeige Box?!) but I like this mask, which is slippery (it says non-slip but they’re always slippery!) but provides intense moisture.

Still, I’d like to be introduced to some new and different brands that Target carries. I was in Target this weekend and saw lots of fun sheet masks – perhaps they can include a different brand in a future box! On its own this is a great product but I know a lot of ladies have been skipping this box because of repeat items.

Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner ($5.99)

L’Oréal Voluminous Primer ($5.99)

Both full-size items!

This lightweight primer is applied to the lashes before mascara. I loved this and it really did make my regular mascara look a bit more plump!

A retractable, waterproof pencil (with a built-in sharpener and smudger on the end). I received mine in Brown, which I will probably never wear – and were I not reviewing this box I’d take it in to Target for a swap on the color. Every other box I’ve seen had a black liner in it (except one Black Brown).

Swatched below! I think this color is good for warm smoky looks that you’ll create with all those gorgeous brown, copper, and rose gold palettes, but I’m still way more likely to wear black liner!

The liner had a nice sharp line and I love that the sharpener is built right in. That’s a bonus. The wear is good too, and it stays put!

W3LL People Bio Brightener Stick ($12) There’s no size information on this product. The full size is 6 g and we weighed it at 3g, so half size. This product is out of stock absolutely everywhere, and I suspect it’s discontinued. That’s not really an issue, becuase you won’t go through this product quickly at all – just a little swipe provides a nice glow with microparticles that soften your look and illuminate your skin. I’ve tried this product before and I like it – especially the fact that it uses natural and organic ingredients!

This box promised a $38 value and I came up with $37.16. Target likes to round up! I think this is a really nice selection and 7 products for $10 is nothing to sneeze at! I do wish that Target would provide more variety in terms of brands in this monthly box, but I enjoy the fact that everything in each box is varied. Make it a subscription already Target!

What did you think of the November Target Beauty Box? This box, as well as the 2016 Target Beauty Advent Calendar, is still available!

    Actually, I really like the Laneige products. I think they’re a very good brand, I know its product is a staple in every Target box, but I’d love to receive it!
