Target Beauty Box review!

Hey! So it's taking me a while to figure out how to get my YouTube videos put together - it's harder than it looks! But my mom surprised me with a beauty box a few weeks ago, and I thought I'd review it for you guys. This is unsponsored. :)

I got the box on October 16th, and it looked like this. :)


I excitedly began opening it to reveal the pretty red paper and cute packaging. 


 Inside, waiting to greet me was this happy card. :)


The card had a description of the products it contained, as well as a coupon for $3 off $15! The perfect excuse for me to spend $12 at Target, but then again, let's be real... do we really need an excuse?


Next was a paper depicting various facial cleansers, lotions, and skincare devices, with a coupon code for a website called Dermstore. If you use the code, you get 20% off, free shipping, and a complementary gift!


Once the cards were out of the way, the glory was fully revealed. 


How exciting! You know me, I couldn't wait to get to the lipstick. L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Extraordinaire Lipstick in 304 (Ruby Opera).


Look how pretty. :) It is so soft and lush, and it left my lips looking very clean and bright. I blotted a bit of the color off at one point and it left a beautiful deep stain on my lips. 


Next, I found the Fekkai Professional Blowout Hair Refresher Dry Shampoo. This stuff... dry shampoo is a lifesaver. If you've over slept or want to make your hairstyle last a day longer, spritz a bit of this on your roots and your hair will be looking - and smelling - fresh as daisies. 


Beside that was this L'Oreal Elnett Extra Strong Hold Hairspray! I don't know about you guys, but I have the most ridiculous baby hairs. If I don't use hairspray when I straighten my hair, all of the little hairs lift up and float around my head like a halo. Now, maybe this would be a good thing if I were an angel in a Christmas play, but I'm just me and I frequently look like I've rolled around in a sea of balloons - but not with this! Thank God for hairspray. 


After that, I picked this LANEIGE BB Cushion sample up. This is amazing. Inside are four little pods, shown below. On the top left is the antimicrobial puff, top right is the light shade, bottom left is the medium shade, and bottom right is the dark shade. I used the medium and the light, but obviously am unable to use the dark. It was smooth and streak-free, with even, long-lasting coverage. Additionally, all of the creams are SPF 50! I loved it. 



Finally, I eagerly grabbed this handy NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in the color Milk. I absolutely love this, and already have one I purchased earlier this year. Put this on before your eyeshadow and watch the colors pop, as well as last all day. 



So, all in all, I wholly recommend this box. Everything in it was wearable, handy, and of good quality. Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed it and feel more informed. :)

(I haven't forgotten about the face mask post I promised you all! It will be up as soon as I figure it out. :P Thank you for your patience.)
