target january beauty boxes

hi guys! today i've got the two target beauty boxes for january! sorry this post is kind of late. these got sent to the in-laws, and then the work-life balance is a bit funky right now (refer to my previous work post..) also, i missed out on the december box because i was at work and didn't know they were available for purchase. TT_TT anyway, i got them this time! ~Lin-chan ^.~

renewal box
  1. attitude 2-in-1 shampoo & body wash (1oz--sample, ret. $7.99 for 12oz [$0.67]) -- i will have to try this and get back to you guys.
    repurchase? undecided
  2. attitude volume & shine shampoo (1oz--sample, ret. $7.99 for 12oz [$0.67]) -- i will have to try this and get back to you guys.
    repurchase? undecided
  3. laneige bb cushion (ret. $34 for .5oz) -- oh yay, another one of these things. i thought it was ok when i first tried it, but i'm not interested in repurchasing this.
     repurchase? no
  4. scrunci no-slip grip braided headwrap (ret. $5.99) -- i appreciate that in addition to being braided, it has the no-slip grip on the underside. i think i'll pass this off to the mil since she tends to use these kinds of things when she goes running.
    repurchase? probably not
  5. degree women fresh energy dry spray (3.8oz--full size, ret. $4.99) -- i'm not sure how to describe the scent of this one. i'm ok with it being called fresh energy. lol. it's fresh, but also like a wake-me-up type of scent. i'm interested.
    repurchase? maybe
  6. jergens wet skin moisturizer with monoi oil(2oz--mini, ret. $6.99 for 10oz [$1.40]) -- i actually really enjoyed samples of the coconut one, but i don't really like the scent of the floral one.
    repurchase? maybe the coconut one
  7. revlon ultimate all-in-one mascara in blackest black (full sizeret. $8.99) -- i don't think i've seen many reviews of this, but if i remember correctly, they seemed to be either neutral or negative. i'm not too sure how i feel about this tiny brush wand though.
    repurchase? probably not
  8. hada labo tokyo anti-aging facial mask (1 maskret. $14.99 for 4 [$3.75]) -- this is getting passed off to a friend since i tried this and it wasn't for me. see my december empties post.
    repurchase? no
  9. caress fine fragrance body wash in love forever (1.8oz--mini, ret. $3.99 for 13.5oz [$0.53]) -- i've been wanting to try this ever since bailey b on youtube first mentioned this product. this has a really nice scent, i'm interested in this 12 hour "touch activated [fragrance release] technology" because that's a bit outrageous.
    repurchase? maybe
  10. $3 off $15 coupon
approximate product value: ~$27

refresh box
  1. john frieda keraflex hair spray  (2oz--mini, ret. $8.99 for 13oz [$1.38]) -- yay! another hair spray to add to the backlog collection! this doesn't have an offensive smell, so i'm interested, but i'm not really sure when i'll get around to using it.
    repurchase? probably not
  2. nivea in-shower body lotion (2.7oz--mini, ret. $5.99 for 13.5oz [$1.20]) -- i received samples of this in the past and passed them onto a friend. now that i've got this trip to chicago coming up, i think i'm going to take this along. this doesn't have much of a scent, which i appreciate.
     repurchase? maybe, but probably not because i'm impatient.
  3. nip+fab glycolic fix pads (5 pads--mini, ret. $12.99 for 60 [$1.08]) -- these have an interesting scent. i've never used any of the ingredients in these pads before, so maybe that's what they all smell like, combined....... in application, it doesn't feel too bad. like a gentle version of a stridex pad.
    repurchase? probably not
  4. scunci braided elastic bands  (2 bandsret. $2.87 for 6 [$0.96]) -- these are kind of cute. i'm not sure how i'd like them exactly. they look like several ponytail bands woven together, which is i guess how they could claim them to be "3x stronger and more durable".
    repurchase? nah
  5. acure day [facial] cream (1oz--ret. $16.99 for 1.75oz [$9.71]) -- i like the orange scent this has. i'm not too sure about the formulation.
    repurchase? probably not
  6. simple micellar wipes (25 wipes--full size, ret. $6.99) -- i've been using a pack of these the past couple weeks and i like it. but i don't feel like the extra cost of the micellar ones is justified when the regular ones are just fine to me. i do appreciate that this is a full pack of 25 and not a travel size
    repurchase? probably not
  7. marlowe extra moisturizing body lotion (1oz--, ret. $9.99 for 15oz [$0.67]) -- i'm not liking the scent of this stuff. according to the back there's floral and other earthy hints to it, which are definitely not my thing. it does feel like a nice cream though.
    repurchase? no
  8. clear total care nourishing daily conditioner (1.7oz--mini, ret. $4.99 for 12.9oz [$0.66]) -- this is kind of weird, no shampoo but there's a conditioner in here. not that i'm really complaining, i can always use conditioner! i believe i've tried this before and liked it.
    repurchase? maybe
  9. clear scalp therapy 2-in-1 complete care anti-dandruff  (1.7oz--mini, ret. $5.49 for 12.9oz [$0.72]) -- this is gettin passed off to teh paul. lol.
    repurchase? he likes this brand, but i'm not sure if he's used this one before.
  10. $3 off $15 coupon
approximate product value: ~$23
