Target Beauty Box Holiday For Her 2015 Subscription Review

Except for the horrid mascara, I love everything in this box! At first I thought the lipstick looked awfully dark, but I applied a thin layer and it’s perfect with my skin tone. Very pleased. Good job, Target!

I bought both boxes. Yes, I like men’s box better but the women’s box is nice. I was excited for the Star Wars lipstick. However, I received #30 as well. I love the color but not good for this very pale girl.

I got both the men’s and women’s box. When I opened the women’s I was disappointed to see that I did not have a lipstick! I called customer service and they said it is unavailable and they gave me a refund. Still sad because I was really excited to try it!

I got the Men’s box a week ago. My Women’s box has been sitting in the Shipping Partner facility since the 5th and has not moved.

This was my first Target box and I’m quite pleased! No I didn’t need another dry shampoo to add to my pile but aside from that I’ll get use out of everything.

I must be the only one who likes the eyeshadow. I think it has nice build able coverage and it lasted me all day. The mascara will go on the back shelf with the rest of my unused mascaras (I like the mini sized ones and have a few of those open now), I’ll gift the lipstick because I don’t wear it and everything else will get used by me! For $10…I’m quite happy and will be more on the lookout for future boxes!

Liz, I’ll gladly take those Goody elastics off your hands, lol!

I was so excited to grab one of these boxes (due to my own insomnia), and I will probably use almost everything except maybe the lipstick (pretty dark for me, will likely gift) and the mascara (depending on the reviews, will also give away to someone before using).

The elastics, shadow colors, and the face products were all super exciting, because they are things I would have purchased anyway. All other elastics get caught in my frizzy hair, and these are the best I’ve found!

I was so disappointed in the mascara. I’ve worn it three days now and it clumps and falls onto my face. I usually use Clinique but I was out and so I was so excited to get this. could it be that it’s old or expired?

I love the Target boxes, and this one was great! I was disappointed that the CeraVe eye cream in mine was empty! There was a small smear of it on the inside of the tube, but I could feel it was almost empty and when I held it up to the light, it was confirmed. I’m also not so happy that there is no recourse when this happens with the Target boxes. That said, even without the eye cream, the value of this box is incredible!

I was so pleased with what came in this box, and I’m glad I was able to snag one for my sister, too! We both got the same lipstick as Liz got, which I was grateful for. I would have had to run out and do an exchange, and when it comes to Christmas shopping, I try to avoid shopping in person if I can help it 😉 I bought the men’s box for my husband, and he was actually excited about it. It’s hard to get him excited about anything (well, except, you know…), so I think Target hit the nail on the head with this round of boxes!

Just a note that I *love* Cerave products – my two sons and I have eczema that can become severe during the winter, and Cerave has been a fantastic product for us. I love that, unlike Eucerin’s Original Moisturizing Creme (which used to be my go-to), it’s not greasy at all. It’s so light yet works so well. So I haven’t tried this Cerave product yet but have high hopes for it.

I have also used the Olay creme, which is good, except a few years ago all unscented Olay products started smelling like burnt something-or-other. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but suffice it to say that I don’t like the smell. I get that not having a scent is a good thing, but then it shouldn’t smell bad, you know? However it is not strong, and I only notice it when I apply it, so no big deal.

I have a ton of mascaras, so that’s going in the drawer for later use, and I’m giving away the dry shampoo. I suspect my sister will, too, and I have a friend who will gladly take them. Still a great deal if you take that item out!

I was sad because I missed out on this one but luckily Target is releasing them often so on to the next one!

I got the women’s and the men’s boxes and I couldn’t be happier with them. I thought that they were a great deal and Liz added up the value so it’s more than worth it. Some of the things will go for gifting and others I will keep, I love the boxes so will be waiting for the next time to roll around!

I think think I am the only person on this site who has not gotten a dry shampoo in a box yet. And I’ve been subscribing to Birchbox and Ipsy since July, Glossybox since November, and I have picked up a few Target and Walmart boxes here and there. Ha ha.

Just got mine yesterday as well as the mens and i love them both! Can’t wait to try everything out. Well worth the price!

Did everyone got the red lipstick #30?

I’m always satisfied with the Target boxes, even if everything isn’t a home run. I’m bummed the mascara is clumpy, but still excited to try that new brush. Lots of good stocking stuffers, too. Does anyone else think it’s odd they also call the men’s box a “beauty box?” I’m thinking “grooming box” would be more appropriate.

How do you know when it will be released? I don’t ever see a “heads up” email from Target.

The lipstick looked glittery when I looked it up on various websites. How’s the shimmer/glitter? It is wearable? I would LOVE to own a Star Wars lipstick! But, not a fan of glittery lipstick. Thanks for your help!

I loved this box, the day it came online I was about to buy the Olay cream for 10 dollars anyway and now I have so so much more for the same price 🙂

Another great review by Liz. I love it when you include ingredient lists which saves me time and be aware of anything I watch out, etc. I got the same red color lipstick. Other dark options were dark plum and silver. I wonder if anyone receives silver… I actually tried dry shampoo for the first time, thanks to sub boxes, and I liked it. It kept my long hair from drying out and scalp from becoming oily when I don’t want to wash it. I am excited to try everything else from the box.

Just FYI for those who ordered both men and women boxes. Men’s box is larger than women. I thought it was the other way around and opened men’s which was for gifting. I wish they make the box different or even put a sticker on men’s.

Agree with Liz that the box was an awesome value and full of highly-usable items. I love the light scents of the Laneige and the Olay. Also agree that Pacifica eyeshadows give little color payoff. So glad I got the red lipstick – some of those Star Wars shades were too weird for me LOL.

I paid $10 for my box. Got the mens box as well. My total for both was $15.90. Mine should be arriving soon.

Nothing really stood out to me. Glad I passed.

I received my Target beauty box yesterday and I’m excited about everything in it! Still wanted of my favorite beauty boxes.

This box costed $15, not $10. I was REALLY disappointed in the size of the eye cream because based on the promo images, I expected it to be full size, and it was the reason I purchased the box. I’m not thrilled with anything else. Not my favorite Target box.
