Target $5 Beauty Box

Almost 2-months ago the Target Style Facebook page was offering up a select number (I believe 20,000) of introductory $5 beauty boxes.  Since I’ve been a big fan of the free Target beauty bags that have come out containing samples I decided to hop on the band wagon and order myself a box.  All of us Target Beauty Bag lovers who signed up for a box went into it blindly not knowing what we’d be receiving – all that we knew is the box would be more than $5 (not including the cost of shipping – which the $5 did cover).

After waiting weeks that felt like forever, my box finally arrived!  I was quite excited to see what I received. After the highly anticipated unboxing, this is what I received:

-          L’Oreal Magic Perfecting BB Cream (sample pack)

-          La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo

-          Fekkai Glossing Cream (deluxe sample size)

-          Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips

-          Gillette Venus & Olay Razor

-          $3 off $15 Beauty Purchase coupon to be used at Target or Target.com

I am most excited about the razor and La Roche-Posay sample. I’m a huge fan of the Gillette Venus & Olay razors (they’re one of my all time favorites) and I hope to be able to get a good judge out product out of the La Roche-Posay sample.

QUESTION:

Did you sign up for a Target Beauty Box?

Shannon’s Belated Walgreen’s Haul!

 This is a belated haul from Walgreen’s.  This is the product of what happens when I have to go to the pharmacy because someone (even if that someone is myself) doesn’t feel well and needs some sort of medication.  There are a few Walgreen’s around me that have designated areas for their clearance items and I typically hit those up after carousing the beauty section.  This particular day there were a few items in the clearance section that I snagged, while the polishes I grabbed in the little partitioned area in the beauty section.  I was kind of excited to get the two Sinful Colors polishes since they were available on “limited edition” displays as they were not part of the permanent line.

Here’s what I picked up:

-    Gillette Fusion Instant Hydration Moisturizer (for my BF)
-    Personal care Kit – includes nail file, nail clippers (2 sizes), cuticle pusher and tweezer.  This was like 99 cents on clearance
-    Sinful Colors – Leap Frog
-    Sinful Colors – Winterberry
-    Wet n Wild Fergie – Tonight’s Gonna Be a Good Night

Shannon’s Target Haul – hit that Clearance rack hard!

This is my haul from Target last week, perhaps even the week before?  I can’t quite remember but I do remember I went to Target to get household items and ended up with over $100 worth of randomness in my cart.  Yowzah!  I always go down the back of the aisles because that’s where the clearance sections are usually set up in my local Targets.  I tend to like to peek through what’s on clearance because sometimes Target drops their prices significantly for no apparent reason, so might as well get a good deal when the timings right, right?  I got some pretty great deals on the pictured items because I had high value coupons for the shaving items and the deodorant.  Got to love coupons!

Here’s what I picked up:

-          St. Ives Apricot Scrub Value Pack (Both were $3.40) which I believe was less than the price of one single bottle.

-          Dove Deodorant – double pack

-          Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler Kit

-          Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant pack

-          Gillette Venus & Olay razor w/ mini shaving cream

-          Revlon Colorstay Smoky Shadow Stick – Atomic (this actually wasn’t ringing up so the girl just sold it to me for $2)

-          Elf Shine Eraser sheets
