Target Beauty Box comes out once a month and you have to grab them up because they go quickly! Each box is around $7 and this one is still available and at the reduced price of $5. Make sure to sign up here to get notified when future boxes go on sale and keep in mind that this is a one-time purchase and not an ongoing subscription.

Hello Bright Eyes! This month is all about products to help you look bright eyed and bushy tailed.

The product information card listed the products included in the box and a little info about each item. There was a coupon for a purchase in-store or online to save $3 when you make a $15+ beauty purchase.

My products came in a cute box and were wrapped in tissue paper.

Everything in my box!

Acure Radically Rejuvenating Undereye Hydrogels ($4.99) I’m not really in to sheet masks for my face but eye masks are always welcome!

Cucumber and Persian silk tree extracts help keep puffiness down while providing a soothing, cooling feeling to this often neglected area. Place in the fridge for a bit before using to enhance the cooling sensation.

Lumify Bausch + Lomb Redness Reliever Eye Drops ($6.39) I often have to use eye drops to relieve redness so I am happy to try a new brand, however, I didn’t experience any redness while reviewing this box so I will set them aside for later.

Ingredients are listed on the side of the box, instructions on the back. I am not a contact lens wearer but if you are then remember to remove contacts before using and wait 10 minutes before re-inserting contacts.

My bottle was sealed for safety and the expiration date isn’t until May 2019. Also, I know the info card said to add a few drops to clumpy, dry mascara but if your mascara is looking past its prime then throw that stuff away and get a new mascara. It’s much cheaper than a co-pay to be treated for an eye infection!

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara ($3.31) Wow, this is about half of the full-sized product!

I think it looks like a classic wand, with a bend to the brush head to match the curve of the lashes.

Ten layers of bristles reach each lash. I thought it worked well and makes a good, everyday type of mascara. It is waterproof and safe for contact wearers.

Cover Girl Get In Line Liquid Eyeliner ($6.79) is a full-sized product and I looked forward to trying it, even though I’m a klutz when it comes to liquid liners.

Oohh, it looks so sleek! I received the shade “Major Matte Black” but there are 5 shades to choose from if you plan on ordering one.

It has a fine-tip applicator but I had some problems applying this liner. It was very wet, and I had some get on my cheeks and in the crease of my eye when I blinked. It also dries quickly so I had to use a Q-tip and foundation to remove it from my face and crease. I couldn’t get it right where I wanted it so it looked messy. One thing that did stand out is that it was still in place at the end of the day.

Sonia Kashuk Essential Brush Brow & Spoolie ($8) I currently have a spoolie brush that is just a mascara wand that I cleaned off, so I was pretty happy to add this to my brush stash.

One side is for filling in brows with cream or powder to make them look fuller or even. You could also use this as a liner brush.

The spoolie part is like a mini-brush for your eyebrows. Use it to help shape your brows when trimming them back or to help the powder settle when filling them in. You can also use it to brush out clumps after applying mascara.

I was pretty happy with my Target Hello Bright Eyes Beauty Box! I thought Target sent a nice assortment of items and I will get a lot of use out of these products (and one use out of the eye mask!). The value was around $29.48, which is really good for a Target box. Plus there’s a $3 off coupon for a future purchase and you can now grab this box for only $5!

    Great review! I bought one of these boxes as well. Can these Target coupons be used twice – online and in-store? I used mine online and I’m not sure if I should throw it away. I also agree with you about eye infections. Trying to salvage a dried-up mascara is not worth it.

      Hi Sharon, I hope you are enjoying your Target box! As far as using the coupon twice, I have the feeling it wouldn’t work in-store after being used online (or vice versa) and will probably come up with some kind of error code. The wording on my coupon says “limit one identical coupon/offer per guest”. Hope that helps!
