Target Beauty Box Refresh Box Review – January 2016

I received my two of these today. I didn’t really look at what was in them when I ordered them, and now I wish I had ordered two of the other one. Oh well. I’ll use all the items, except for the hair spray, but three body lotions? That’s a bit much for me.

Well, that’s unexpected. My box arrived today and it actually had the matching Scalp and Hair Therapy shampoo and conditioner that we were supposed to get. I wonder if they ran out and that’s why some people got both and some people only got one or the other.

I recently learned that Target is releasing their first ever beauty line starting with nail polish called “Defy & Inspire”. I am little surprised they did not toss a polish in one (or both!) boxes to generate a bit of buzz. Still love my boxes – they’re a great deal – but dangit, I need more nail polish (like I need to catch the plague)! Maybe we’ll get one next time. Nail polish and eye makeup are two of my favorite things.

I ordered both boxes. One arrived Monday, and this one arrived yesterday. These two beauty boxes are my first ones from Target, and I see why they sell out so fast. I gave my sporty teen daughter the Micellar wipes and the elastic bands from this box. She’s currently playing high school basketball, training for travel softball, and about to start training for travel basketball, but she’s also still a girl. She loves the wipes. They take her makeup off with ease and leave her skin fresh and soft. I used he in-shower lotion and the exfoliating pads last night. It feels so good to be pampered, if even just a little. I used the Clear condition as a leave-in this morning (I have curly hair), and used the hair spray after putting in my hair gel, just to seal everything. My curls look awesome! No frizz, holding their shape, but still flexible. As I stated on my comment on the other Target beauty box, I will most likely put the other products up for my mom, save as stocking stuffers, or make up some bags and give to the less fortunate. As I type this, I realize I didn’t put up my $3 off coupon from this box like I did the other one, so here’s to hoping I remember to do that when I get home! These boxes are awesome and I hope I get in on the next one!

I ordered one of each of the Target boxes. So far, I have only received the Renew box. I can’t wait to get the Refresh box. I need those make-up removal wipes!?

I got the shampoo and matching conditioner! …but the men’s wouldn’t have bothered me. Very happy with this box. These samples are great sizes. That acure day cream will last me awhile!

I got my boxes (1 each) today. I got the CLEAR shampoo and conditioner combo. I only wanted to buy one box, but each box had items that I wanted to try, so ended up ordering both – ahhhhh! I did it again!

Love love love the Target boxes. What caught my attention was your hairspray comment. It’s not impossible, try Alterna Caviar working hairspray in the light purple can. Totally touchable and brush able hair that doesn’t move!

I got the Renewal box instead of this box. I chose that box instead because it had a full Revlon mascara that I had been wanting to try. That alone pays for the box! I received my box yesterday in the mail and I really enjoyed the box. I used the mascara today in fact and so far so good, I liked it. It also had the full size deodorant dry spray from degree which is my go to deodorant spray. So those two things alone sold this box for me!

This was the first Target box I passed on. Mainly because it had a lot of similar products as the Allure Thrills box. Still a good box though.

I’m just so pleased with both of these boxes! The Micellar wipes made it worth it for me, I’ve been wanting to try them and my Target (which is an hour away) is always sold out of them. I swear by the Simple Micellar water so having it in wipes form is just so convenient.

Everything I can use and a lot I started using today! I too got the shampoo and a 2 in 1 for BOTH boxes. I definitely prefer to have a shampoo and conditioner pair, but I’m not going to complain, these are always used for my travels anyway.

I think what’s so nice about these boxes is I see myself using all of the items at some point whereas lately with my Birchbox most of the stuff just gets thrown in a drawer never to be used. I’m not discovering any new items or getting to pamper myself with items I wouldn’t normally buy. I’m definitely doing that with these boxes! Well worth it IMO.

I also received a mismatched sample in both boxes. I ordered this box and the other one that was available. In this box, I received the women’s conditioner and the men’s 2 in 1. In the other box, I receive a women’s shampoo (i don’t remember the brand) and then a shampoo/body wash combo, which is obviously for men too. It seemed strange to me, but I guess I wasn’t the only one. Other than that, I loved the boxes!

I received two Shampoos, no Conditioner! I’ve emailed customer service, so hopefully I’ll get the same offer.

Target boxes are the best deal! $7 each plus I used the Beauty coupon and red card.

The Target boxes all came today with my Beauty DNA, AND Birchbox. My mailman must be like, “WTF?”

I LOVE these editions of the Target boxes! They are getting better and better. This was my favorite of the two, I think… not sure. Love them both.

I am so glad to sample the Simple micellar facial cleansing wipes.

*******I learned something which MIGHT help someone else.******
Often, the pre-moistened facial cleansing wipes which come in a resealable package doesn’t always reseal well. I , put the entire package in a small zip lock sandwich bag. The wipes stay fresh and moist and you don’t have to worry about stray bacterial contamination from possibly being in the vanity area of your bathroom either. ( I keep all of mine in my nightstand because when I am lazy, I am COMPLETELY lazy) .
Lastly, kudos to Target for putting moisturizers, body lotions and creams in winter boxes. Sometimes, it just doesn’t work out that way with sub. boxes. 🙂

I got 1 of this one and 2 of the other one and I love them both! I was excited that I got decent color head bands in the other box…1 blue and 1 black..both colors I can wear. I love all the products in both boxes and I’m thrilled about the full sizes! I didn’t get the mixed up shampoo/conditioner, thank goodness. I think these might be my favorite Target boxes so far!

How did everybody get there Target boxes already? I ordered mine the day they put it on sale and according to my tracking information it says that mine won’t get here until the 14th. 🙁

I got both of mine late last week, and am happy with both! I love value of target boxes, and that I almost always actually use the products. I ordered one of each, but I sort of wish I’d gotten 2 of the one with the deodorant and mask!

It definitely wasn’t just you. I got the men’s shampoo as well, though we’re about to leave for a trip, so that was super convenient timing. I’m also happily surprised to have found a full size item in each of the boxes. I wasn’t expecting that.

I bought the limit of two of this box and I’m so glad I did! What a great deal these Target boxes are! I also got the conditioner for her and the men’s 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner but it’s moot to me. Shampoo is not gender-specific, that’s just marketing, so silly! But I wash with conditioner only so I’m swapping the shampoo. It actually looks like a good product with tea tree oil (which I love) so no complaints here. I had to try the nip+fab immediately and didn’t find them irritating at all! nice! Sure, they send lots of elastics but I wear ponytails every day so yay again!

I loved both my target boxes this time. Even with the men’s shampoo, this was a vast improvement over last month in my opinion. I fully intend on using the men’s shampoo. It doesn’t smell too “manly.”

I, too, have the mismatched shampoo and conditioner and I’m also missing the Nivea in shower lotion. I don’t really care about the shampoo thing, but I’d really like the other sample! Is there any sort of CS specifically for the beauty boxes?

I got the Clear shampoo and conditioner and the $3 certificate. In other words, I got everything I was supposed to. 🙂

I’ve only ordered a few Target Beauty Boxes thus far, four if I remember correctly, and out of those four, the first box was missing an item or two which it was supposed to include, which made a few of the other items useless to me (I can’t use shampoo without conditioner). The second box turned up when and as it should have. Now with my third experience ordering two boxes at once, my tracking information was given incorrectly, only one box has shown up (so far), even though both have supposedly been delivered, and the box I did receive, the Refresh Box, as mentioned by others, included a men’s shampoo and women’s conditioner instead of a women’s shampoo and conditioner. I will try the men’s product, since it is in the box instead of the correct item, but I’m starting to get disappointed in these Target Beauty Boxes in general since there always seems to be some sort of issue with them.

I got his-and-hers Clear products, too, but I have the opposite — I have the women’s conditioner & no shampoo!

I got a sample of the Goody braided hair ties in the mail a few months back — I have no idea if/when I signed up to receive them, but I really like them & I’m glad to have a couple more. I don’t know if they actually are triple the strength, but they’re prettier to wear if you’re the sort of person who likes to keep an extra hair tie around their wrist.
