It has been quite sometime since I got my last Target Beauty Box, often time they sell out rather quickly so I just can’t get my hands on them. I managed to catch the announcement of them this month and decided to pick one up and see how the sample size to value ration works out.
Each box is 10$ with shipping included. The box can have anything from full-size items, deluxe samples or foil packets. Some months are better than others as far as samples go.
February’s box focuses on hydration and products that will help keep your skin and hair fresh and moisturized.
In the February box you got;
Masque Bar Hydrating Peel Off Mask (1 Mask, FS)
A skin-moisturizing sheet mask that gently removes impurities and dead skin cells as it hydrates and soothes your skin with cucumber extract, aloe, collagen and vitamin E.
From Target one of these costs $3.49 for 0.5oz or one mask treatment. I personally wouldn’t recommend this mask for sensitive skin. Thankfully, my skin isn’t sensitive but the peel off part was a little rough and I could see it irritating those with sensitive skin types. I didn’t feel like this did too much for my skin but it was slightly hydrating.
Raw Sugar Raw Coconut and Mango Body Wash (Deluxe Sample)
A body wash for gently brightening and soothing your skin while locking in all the good oils, vitamins and enzymes to keep the skin healthy and smooth.
From Target one of these in full-size costs $6.99 for 25oz making it .28 cents/oz The deluxe sample is 2oz with a value of approximately .56 cents. I appreciate that it is such a reasonably priced product but the cost/value comparison is quite hilarious!
Soap and Glory Face Soap and Clarity Face Wash (Deluxe Sample)
A non-drying, easy-rinse formula that smoothes and purifies your skin, leaving it super clean, fresh and bright.
From Target one of these in full-size costs $10.99 for 11.8oz making it .93 cents/oz. The deluxe sample is 1oz with a value of approximately .93cents.
Gliss Ultimate Repair Shampoo (Deluxe Sample)
Infuses your hair with keratin to repair, strengthen and restore damaged hair from the inside out.
Gliss Ultimate Repair Conditioner (Deluxe Sample)
Infuses your hair with keratin to repair, strengthen and restore damaged hair from the inside out.
From Target one of these in full-size of the shampoo or conditioner costs $5.49 for 13.6oz making it .40 cents/oz. The deluxe sample is 1.7oz/each with a value of approximately .80 cents each.
Sun Bum Sunless Self-Tanning Towelette (Deluxe Sample)
A clear-formula to give you a light natural tan.
From Target one of these in full-size costs $15.99 for a pack of 5 making them $3.20 each towel. The deluxe sample is one towel worth $3.20.
W3LL PEOPLE Expressionist Pro Mascara(Deluxe Sample)
Creates bold, nourished lashes with pure mineral pigments and a botanical blend.
From Target one of these in full-size costs $21.99 for a full-size, also found on Target is a trial-size which is $12.50 which is the same size as the one received in the box.
L’Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Mask (Foil Packet)
A super-charged, pure clay mask that removes impurities and soothes your skin.
On Targets website the green clay mask is $12.99 for a 1.7oz full-size. The pink and black masks are $9.99 for 1.7oz. I haven’t tried these but judging by the way each packet feels you could probably get two uses out of each of these packets, which isn’t bad for a foil sample. Each packet is .34 fl oz, because of the foil packet it is a little hard to figure out the value of the sample. All 3 masks total have a value of around $7.00.
The directions on the back of these suggest using each mask at the same time to target different areas.
TOTAL approximate value: $29.00 which isn’t bad for a $10 beauty box. It feels a little low in comparison to some of the past boxes because of the 3 one off samples, I feel like $7 for the box would have been a little bit better.
Overall, I’m happy with my purchase and I think I’ll make it a regular thing to try and get Target Beauty Boxes. I’m excited to try more of the items in my box, keep up with my Instagram for mini reviews as I use the products.
I paid for this product with my own money. All links will not earn me any money from your purchases they are just there for ease of shopping. I will disclose if there is ever an affiliate link.
I’ve been trying to get one of these for forever!
