target cyber monday beauty box sale: impressions


hi all! for cyber monday, target was offering three beauty boxes for $5 and $10, so i went ahead and bought all three. teh paul thought it was stupid that i even got him one. but $5, that's half of the price of that razor, why wouldn't i get one? ~Lin-chan ^.~

for him box ($5)
  1. axe peace shower gel (1.69oz--mini, ret. $3.99 for 16oz [$0.42])
  2. gillette proglide flexball razor (1 handle & 1 razor cartridge--full size, ret. $10.99)
  3. proraso shaving cream (.35oz--mini, ret. $10 for 5.2oz [$0.67])
  4. neutrogena men invigorating face wash  (.5oz--mini, ret. $4.99 for 5.1oz [$0.49])
  5. dove men+care dry deodorant spray in clean comfort (3.8oz--full size, ret. $5.49)
  6. old spice swagger shampoo/conditioner (1.7oz--mini, ret. $3.99 for 12oz [$0.57])
approximate product value: ~$18.63


naturals box ($5)
  1. soapbox argan shampoo (2oz--mini, ret. $7.99 for travel set of 4 [$1.99]) -- has a very normal shampoo scent to it. it's a little thinner in consistency to like pantene or something.
    • the back of the bottle says that "every soapbox purchase is a donation to a child in need" and to see their website for details: soapboxsoap.com 
  2. skinfix hand repair cream (1oz--mini, ret. $14.99 for 2oz [$7.99]) -- has a very neutral, "unscented" type scent. it's very thick but it feels pretty good once it's rubbed in.
  3. burt’s bees facial wipes (10 wipes--mini, ret. $5.99 for 30 wipes [$2]) -- these smell pretty interesting, maybe it's the white tea? it definitely removed dirt and oil from my face but it left my face feeling slightly sticky afterward.....
  4. sheamoisture coconut hibiscus smoothie (3.2oz--mini, ret. $3.99) -- this has a very thick texture and i'm not sure if i can really detect the hibiscus scent, but it is definitely coconut plus something.
  5. borghese age defying facial scrub (1oz--mini, ret. $16 for 4.2oz [$3.81]) -- i can't pinpoint what this smells like exactly. it's slightly chemically, but there's something else too..... it has an apricot scrub type color and texture.
  6. acure organics facial cleanser (1oz--mini, ret. $9.99 for 4oz [$2.50]) -- has a very strong minty smell to it. and it looks like a dark charcoal scrub.
approximate product value: ~$22.28


for her box ($10)
  1. pixi endless silky eye pen in black noir (.03oz--mini, ret. $12 for .04oz [$9]) -- swatching this pencil was pretty interesting. it did not want to come off. like wut. and it didn't smear when i rubbed it. so i'm pretty excited to try this out.
  2. revlon hd lacquer in hd tourmaline (.2oz--full size, ret. $7.99) -- has a very sweet scent to it. it's very pigmented, which i'm very surprised about.. but this color. omg it is so lindsay, lemme tell ya.
  3. clairol hair food thickening solution or hair food moisturizing mask (3.2oz--full size, ret. $11.99) -- i'm not sure about this stuff. it smells like rubbing alcohol, not "infused with kiwi fragrance"
  4. l'oreal butterfly intenza mascara in black (full size, ret. $7.99) -- super excited to try this. i did like the original butterfly mascara..on my right eye....but now that they fixed the wand, i can enjoy it on both eyes!
  5. covergirl eye enhancers kit in daring nudes (full size  ret. $5.99) -- while this set has really nice shades in it, i do not recommend anyone buying it. the second shade is the only one that isn't super patchy and it is the most pigmented of the four.
  6. chapstick 3-n-1 total hydration lip care in sweet peach (full size, ret. $2.99) -- this scent is >w< i love it. despite the appearance of the packaging, this is actually a clear lip balm, not tinted. it's very soft and comfy. i likes it a lot.
  7. laneige water sleeping mask (20ml--mini, ret. $23 for 80ml [$5.75]) -- it's a very thin, cooling gel-like mask. i think you can use it basically as a moisturizer. has a very fresh/water-like/lightly floral scent.
  8. boots no7 protect & perfect advanced serum (.1oz--mini, ret. $29.99 for 1oz [$3]) -- i'll have to get back to yall on this one. it's a foil packette.
approximate product value: ~$42.71
daring nudes quad, black noir pencil, tourmaline gloss
