#TargetBeautyBox – Forty, Flirty & Fabulous

Target Sonia Kashuk Beauty Box Review

Target always has amazing beauty boxes each month! They had a really nice Mother’s Day one that had a mix of skincare, hair care and body care products. But I was so interested in trying this Sonia Kashuk beauty tool box.

Here’s what was in it:

Sorry that my photos are so dark! I’m going to work on a new photo taking set up this weekend, so stay tuned!

This box was $10 and is no longer available.

The Products:

Blender Sponge
Professional Angled Eye Shadow Brush
Essential Blush Brush
Slanted Tweezer
Quick Dry Brush Cleaning Wipes 3 ct
$3 off Sonia Kashuk purchase of $15 or more

These brushes are gorgeous and so soft! They are the Sonia Kashuk Blush Makeup Brush ($9 USD) and the Sonia Kashuk Angled Eyeshadow Makeup Brush ($13 USD). Both are high quality at an affordable price. I love the gold accents and the very soft and densly packed bristles.

The blush brush works well for blush, contour or highlighter. The angled brush is pretty large for using in the crease. I tried it and I think it’s best for applying a base colored shadow all over the lid and maybe a shade on the lid. Or, for blending shadows together. I did put my crease color on the edge of the brush and applied it that way. So it’s pretty versatile.

I love the marble pattern on this sponges. It’s the Sonia Kashuk Makeup Blender Sponge – Marble ($7 USD). I haven’t used it yet, but it is a pretty solid sponge. I’m sure it will soften once wet. I’ve been loving an IT Cosmetics brush (watch for my May faves) for applying foundation, but I do like using sponges.

Sonia Kashuk Slant Tip Tweezers ($10 USD) — Tweezers are so useful, and these are the price of the whole box! I think I’m going to save these for my daughter. She’s going away to college in a few months and I’m putting together a personal care box for her. I think the gold is really pretty, too.

Sonia Kashuk Quick Dry Makeup Brush Wipes ($9 USD) — I’ve tried one of these in a past Target beauty box and it was nice. It’s good for giving brushes a quick cleanse or switching colors while doing my makeup.

All in all, I really liked this box and think it was well worth the $10 price. I will use almost everything.

New Target Beauty Box Reviews

Last week Target had four new limited edition beauty boxes for sale online. I guess these have been available for purchase at some Target stores, but they decided to sell them online, too. Each box was $7.

I chose two of the boxes to purchase, the Treat Yourself box that contains pampering bath, body and face products and the Wakeup and Makeup box that has makeup and other products to help you start the day. These two are no longer available online, but they are available at stores near me, so you might be able to pick one up. Luckily, the other two boxes are still available online. They are Be YOU(tiful) and All the Masks. Check them out!

I want to share what was in each box. First is the Treat Yourself:

Olay Regenerist Whips
Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Red Dahlia
ME!Bath Bath Bomb
Bodycology Free & Lovely Coconut & Rose Body Butter
Luxe by Mr. Bubble Bath Meltaway
Honest Beauty Refreshingly Clean Gel Cleanser
Dr. Teals Pink Himalayan Foaming Bath

I chose this box because I wanted to try the Olay Whips and my family love to take baths, so the bath products are a win, too. I’ll probably give the Burt’s Bees balm away because I don’t wear dark colors, but I will probably try everything else!

Here is the Wakeup and Makeup Box:

e.l.f. Beautifully Bare Blending Brush
e.l.f. Beautifully Bare Face Palette
Sonia Kashuk Brush Cleansing Wipes
Dove Dry Spray Invisible Sheer Fresh
Dove Dry Shampoo Coconut
COVERGIRL Peacock Flare Mascara 785 Extreme Black
Honest Beauty Refreshingly Clean Makeup Remover Wipes

This is my favorite of the two boxes. This was only $7! The two elf products together are $14 — $6 for the brush and $8 for the palette. So for me those made the box worth it. But there is also a mascara, deodorant and other goodies that make it such an amazing deal! I’m looking forward to playing with the products!

Have you picked up any of these boxes? If so, which ones?

Target Beauty Box Best of Boots Review

I recently ordered a Target Best of Boots Beauty Box ($7 USD). I haven’t ordered a monthly Target beauty box before. This one was in addition to the January box. It featured British brands, so I wanted to try it. The products included are sample sizes. I have linked to where you can purchase full sizes of each item:

No. 7 Restore and Renew Serum No. 7 Airbrush Away Primer Soap & Glory Righteous Butter Body Butter Soap & Glory Pillow Plump Lip Gloss Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask Sleek MakeUP Eyeshadow Palette

I have tried the Restore & Renew product before. I received a full size product to review and loved it. I used it up so quickly, that I’m going to try to make this last! It has a light Jill Texter that instantly absorbs into my skin. It’s so hydrating and makes my skin look very smooth. I also like using it on my neck.

This is my first time trying the Airbrush Away primer. It’s a blurring primer that makes my skin instantly looks smoother. I haven’t use primer for a long time, and I’m getting back into it now. This is really great one too!

It’s funny, because I recently bought myself a Righteous Butter the same size as this one. I love the scent and feel of this body butter. And absorbs quickly and makes my skin so soft. I like the size because you can put it in your purse or take it on trips.

The Pillow Plump is in the shade Pinkwell. It’s a pretty pink color. It is very tingly on. I haven’t used a lip plumper’s for a long time, so it was a strange sensation. I do love that it is glossy and it’s kind of a natural look. But I don’t think I’ll use it every day.

I haven’t tried the Botanics Shine Away mask yet. It’s doesn’t really appeal to me. I would give it away, but I keep getting these kind of masks and I think I’ve given one to each of my friends! This is my least favorite product in the box, but the others are amazing, so that’s okay!

This palette is the very mini version of the When The Sun Goes Down Palette. It is so small, as you can see by the bottom photo with my fingers. The pans are so small, it’s hard to get a brush in there. I did manage and I did my yes with the bottom left gold and 4th bottom color and the formula is very nice. I’m thinking about getting it in full size, but different shades.

A $5 off $20 coupon for these brands was included. I might head to Target this weekend and pick up some Sleek cosmetics. All of the brands are great, though. Very nice box for the price!
