Target Beauty Box June 2016.

Each month Target releases a Beauty Box with a range of full sized, mini and sample products as well as money off coupons. The price of the box tends to vary from month to month but they are usually $10.00 or under. Unlike a lot of other boxes you don't sign up and get a recurring subscription you simply purchase them when they are released at target.com 

These boxes sell out very fast so I signed up for email alerts about them at mysubscriptionaddiction.com and ordered mine as soon as I recieved the alert.

June's box was themed 'Sun Kissed' and cost $10.70 with tax, shipping was free. 

There is a card included in the box with product details and whilst it doesn't give the value of the items in the box I read that this month's box has a value of $38.00 which seems about right.

The box itself is Glossybox sized and sturdy enough to be reusable. It contained one full sized item, ten minis and samples, as well as three money off coupons.

Full Sized.

The full sized product was an e.l.f. Lip Kiss Balm in the shade 'Bare Kiss'. 

My lips get very dry and sore so I am always eager to try out new lip products. This one is quite heavily pigmented (it is a coral/nude) so that for me it is more of a lipstick than a balm.

It smells pleasently minty and contains grapeseed and Jojoba oils to moisturise lips.

Mini Sized.

Yes to Cucumber Facial Wipes. A pack of ten face wipes that will be good to use as a refreshing wipe when travelling. (I no longer use wipes to remove make up but I have used these before and they were pretty good).

Pantene Expert Intense Hydration Shampoo (3.9 fl oz). I have used this range before and I was pretty impressed considering they are a drugstore brand. This smells like a more expensive shampoo and the bottle is a generous size.

Shea Motion Weightless Creme Rinse (3.2 fl oz). This hair conditioner is organic and free of parabens, phthalates, sulphates and mineral oils. It has a very summery fruity fragrance of apples and coconut. I look forward to trying this one out.

L'Oreal Revitalift Volume Filler Moisturizer (.5 oz). This is an intensely hydrating moisturiser for both day and nighttime use. It feels quite light and absorbs quickly but I dislike it's chemical scent that is quite strong on application.

Pixi Mesmerizing Mineral Duo Eye Shadow (2 x .03 oz). How adorable is this mini eyeshadow duo? These have a little shimmer but they feel buttery and are perfect shades to go with a tan. Very summery!

Samples.

Laneige Water Bank Serum. This is a generously sized .3fl oz serum. I've used this before, it is a gel formula serum that feels light, refreshing and hydrating.

CoTZ Face Sunscreen, SPF 40, Natural Tinted. This is a little too dark for me and it feels heavy and silicone like on my skin. I won't use this as I am very fussy about the feel of sunscreens. It's good to try it out though.

L'Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation. I received the shade W3 which is a nude beige. Although this isn't something I will ever purchase I have to admit to being curious about cushion foundations so I will enjoy playing with this.

SW Basics Exfoliant is a powder exfoliant that you mix with water to form a paste. It is made from oat flour, almond flour and sea salt which sounds interesting. It is another product that I don't ever see myself buying but will be fun to try out!

Soap & Glory Righteous Butter Body Butter. Who doesn't like a bit of Soap & Glory? This is 'Britain's favourite body butter' after all! Now that Sephora don't carry this I look forward to seeing it in Target.

Coupons.

$2.00 off Pantene Expert, $2.00 off L'Oreal True Match Cosmetics and $3.00 off any Target Beauty purchase of more than $15.00. I most likely won't use the first two but will use the Target one for something by Boots or Soap & Glory (I'm so English lol).

Overall.

This is a great box don't you think? The products in it were relevant to the 'Sun kissed" theme and there are some fun items to explore in it. The only disappointing product for me is the CoTZ sunscreen.

It is an inexpensive box, (if you redeemed all the coupons it would be less than $3.00!) and although you need to be quick off the mark ordering these I think it's great that you can purchase a one off box without any of the hassles of being tied into a subscription. Full spoilers are released in advance so that you know exactly what you are getting and can purchase or not accordingly. 

I have so much stuff in my stash that I can't see myself picking these up each month but now and again when the boxes look promising why not?

Target, I'm impressed!
