Review: Target Beauty Box- February


Each month Target releases a new Target Beauty Box but supplies are limited and it's first come first serve until they run out. These boxes go fast so I try to grab one as soon as I see it being talked about on Twitter or fb. They are $7 a piece and usually well worth the price. This month they had two boxes and I got them both. 


First up is the Self Love box which included: 

Que Bella Radiance Boost Shimmering Cream Face Mask. 
Pacifica Island Vanilla perfume hair and body mist. 
Aveeno moisturing CICA balm. 
Yuni My OM World Calming Body Mist. 
Village Naturals muscle relief mineral bath soak. 
Masque Bar silver foil peel off mask. 
TwelveNYC bright eye cooling gel eye pads. 

The eye gel pads are reusable. You put them in the fridge or freezer for an hour and put them on your eyes. I will say that it felt good. It didn't do anything for the puffiness under my eyes, I think that's a permanent fixture for me but I am now 50 years old last week so puffy eyes is is just something I'll have to deal with n my old age. lol 

I actually really liked everything else. The vanilla perfume spray smells so good and the calming body and pillow mist is so clean smelling. I'm pretty happy with everything. 



The second box is the Pucker Up box. Here's what was in it: 

TwelveNYC Perfect pouting cooling lip mask. 
Dr. Bonner lip balm in peppermint. 
Burt's Bees moisturizing lip mask. 
Milani matte lipstick. 
Burt's Bees lip shimmer. 
Soap & Glory lip plumper. 

Let's talk about that lip plumper first...I put it on and immediately I felt like I had just smeared hot sauce all over my lips. Whew buddy! But I kept it on to see if it plumped my lips since I normally have thin lips and I didn't see any difference. So if you're looking for a little pain with your lip gloss, this is the one for you. 

The Milani matte lipstick is great, I loved that color. Another lip balm is always ok with me. One day I might show you all my lip balm collection. lol Is there a 12 step program for lip balm hoarders? 

The cooling lip mask is reusable. You just put it in the fridge or freezer for an hour before you use it and it's supposed to be soothing. It was soothing, ice cold gel mask on the lips does feel good, not gonna lie. 

The Burt's Bees lip shimmer is just a touch of shimmer with a touch of pink color. I like it. It's a nice color. I haven't used the moisturizing lip mask yet. 

I liked most of everything that was in this box with the exception of that lip plumper.

  2. Lol, yes some do feel like they are burning your lips! I'm glad to know that the eye pads don't work because I have the same issues.

  4. I can't stand plumping glosses for that reason. Most of them burn my lips like crazy! I'd rather keep my tiny thin lips pain free!

    1. Right? It would be different if they actually did something but it did nothing.

  5. Those look really nice but painful lip gloss doesn't sound like fun!

  6. These boxes always sound like they have great value for the price with all those useful products. Too bad about that lip plumper, that sounds nasty with how it burned. Maybe your skin didn't react well to one of the ingredients? I can't imagine it's supposed to burn.

  11. I'm not one for pain with my lipgloss, lol! I had to laugh at that. Too bad the eye gel thingys didn't have much effect. I just turned 50, too, and yep, some things are hard to combat. Oh well, it is what it is! I do love Target so that's awesome they offer beauty boxes. :)
