Target Beauty Box

The Target® beauty box was the first beauty box I bought. I always thought they were some sort of scam, it didn't make sense that you can get a $25 value of beauty products for only $5, even though it is a sampler box with free shipping.  So, I decided to try the one from Target, to try out.

My first reaction was shock, the box was a really nice sturdy cute box. Weird, but it’s the little things. What was in the box, was another shocked. There was a total of 6 items included in the box.

SoapBox Argan Oil Shampoo

First if you don’t know anything about Argan Oil. It comes from a tree in Morocco, and they press the kernels into oil, and the oil acts as a moisturizer. I have always heard so many wonderful things about Argan Oil and have used it plenty of times prior, and one of the best parts is it does not dry hair out, it is a very vegan and a natural oil. You don't want to be putting products in your hair that contains sulfa, that just makes your hair worse.

​This is a sample size of 2 oz. but even after the first use can feel the difference, from other shampoos. The smell of the shampoo is great, it is a very relaxing smell. The brand SoapBox is a great brand, they donate soap, water and vitamins to children in need to numerous countries when a product is purchased. Now to me that is a great cause.

Skinfix Hand Repair Cream

This sample is a only 1 oz. but you can get a lot of uses out of 1 oz. even just for your ha nds. This product is great for this winter season. Your hands get dried out from walking into the cold, going into a warm area, then with general use. Unless you are lathering your hands constantly with lotion, this really just requires one use, and lasts all day. This product contains natural ingredients and is fragrance free.

I work with a lot of paper all day and my hands unfortunately get dry very fast, I love this and will definitely buy. It’s not oily so I can go right back to work after applying, and it does not smell and feels great.



                                  Burt’s Bees Facial Wipes

Who hasn’t tried any product from Burt’s Bees? I personally love all of their products due to them being natural and not containing anything bad for your skin. Your skin is your biggest organ and you need to take care of it. These wipes clean your face, remove all makeup and dirt, and all the nasty stuff that gets on your face, which causes breakouts. This sampler pack contained 10 wipes and that can go 10 days.

These wipes that came are the facial cleansing towelettes and white tea extract. The white tea extract is definitely where the smell comes from. The smell is very relaxing and not overwhelming at all.

SheaMoisture Coconut Hibiscus Smoothie

This product is for thick and curly hair. I do not have curly hair, mine is flat as flat hair ca n be, but it is thick. This made my hair feel so soft and shiny, not an oily shiny but a nice beautiful shine. My favorite part. The smell, it is coconut and hibiscus, wow, the smell is not overpowering, very light but suddal. I can describe it as tropical. I recommend this for girls who have thick hair, and curly, how it made my hair look, curly would look awesome. Also, for girls who have regular medium and thin hair, try it, it is truly amazing.

 This product came in a 3.2 oz bottle and does not require a lot. This itself is definitely worth the $5 alone.

  Acure Organics Facial Scrub

I love facial scrubs, they do so much, they remove dead skin and clean pores. I use a facial scrub everyday. This was kinda scared me when I opened it, primarily because it was a dark green. I looked into it and it is made from sea kelp and French green clay which is where the color comes from, it also has other natural ingredients. This made me feel relieved, now knowing there was no artificial colors or ingredients, including argan oil. This came in a 1 oz. bottle, and when using on the face and neck it requires about a pea size amount, so with everyday use, you can get a good month out of this 1 oz. bottle.

I have dry skin, due to living in dry climate. After using I could feel the moisture going into my skin. Even after working all day, my face was still so soft. With being made of argan oil, it does not dry your face, like most face scrubs, that removes all moisture. Now, if you are worried about the smell of kelp and clay, you don’t have to worry it smells like argan oil. The nice lovely smell. This product also helps improve cell growth in your skin which is great for helping prevent wrinkles and old looking skin.

Borghese Facial Scrub

This is a exfoliate facial scrub came as a 1 oz. bottle. This bottle did not look fancy, just plain Jane bottle, which I know that means it is going to be good. After trying a couple times, I started to notice a change in my face, just feeling was soft and it looked brighter and better circulation. Just like a facial scrub it removes the dead skin, dirt and excess makeup.

Out of these two facial scrubs that came in this beauty box, they are both amazing. The smell of this one if a very nice light natural smell, it was not heavy. This product was light and required less, and it did surely go a long way. I love it and love the feeling of the scrub on your face.

As a final thought regarding this beauty box, I love it and I am now looking into retrieving more. It was definitely worth $5.

**Tip:  When searching for a facial scrub do not get one that is heavy and contains alcohol. Find a natural scrub (such as above), and one that feels light. They will clog your pores if they are heavy and contain various types of soaps.**

Snowberry Review

Gentle Remineralising Toner, this toner does not have a strong smell to it which I like, due to the fact that I feel if they smell good they are probably not doing a big benefit to your skin. I use toner to get rid of the extra gunk off my skin that washing leaves behind. This toner is a two in one cleanser and toner, it is actually a soft foam which feels nice and soft when putting on your skin. Using toner daily can help keep your skin tight, moisturize and keep your face looking amazing.

Starbright Moisturiser is so soft and light that it is great for oily skin, I do not like using the heavy moisturizers because they break my face out and this one is perfect for preventing that. This moisturizer has great vitamins, which keep your skin healthy. This toner helps with skin discoloration which is great for everyone, I have to admit that my skin after using for a month looks so much better than it did before.

I love Snowberry products, their bottle and boxes are so cute and fun which I like it's not plain and boring, also, the customer service is very nice, which is a plus for me.

Batiste Dry Shampoo Review and Giveaway

Dry shampoo, I have always used dry shampoo because some day’s your hair might look greasier than normal, then on those days you don’t want to wash your hair right away but the feeling of dirty hair is driving you crazy. Some beauty experts say it is good to skip washing your hair for a couple days just so your hair can stay healthy. It’s hard for me to do that, even though I’m clean I feel dirty because of my hair. So dry shampoo works wonders and Batiste Dry Shampoo is one of the best I have used. It doesn’t really clean your hair just gets rid of the oils. 

I keep a bottle in my desk at work and at my house. I really don’t like when my hair looks oily and sometimes the oil can smell, and you don’t want to be walking around with a stinky head. I used the Cherry fragrance and it smells so wonderful and if you are picky about what fragrances you like, they have plenty to choose from. They also have dry shampoo for the color of hair you have. 

Since it is almost time for the Christmas season, this would be a great stocking stuffer idea. It’s not to big so it would fit perfectly and it would be great for anybody, not just women, men to. Christmas is a fun Holiday and I always try to do the best with it. Making stocking for people is fun and especially if they are not expecting it. So surprise someone and give them a stocking full of goodies. 

Neoteric cosmetics is hosting a giveaway for 2 full size cans of Batiste and a holiday bag! So sign up and win it! 

Olivia Garden Double Clip Review

Clipping your hair back to style can be tough. Sometimes the clips you use are to small or to big. The double clip is perfect and works amazingly.  It makes hair styling so much easier, whether you are doing highlights, straitening or cutting. I use it to curl my hair. I always had trouble doing the bottom layers because my hair is long and thick so it works great to keep it up and use the layers you want.

How it works is pretty simple. There is a bottom and top clip, they clamp down to the one in the middle. You can also use it to curl your hair, all you do is wrap the hair around it. Pretty simple. You do not need to be a professional to use this is it for everyone and it really comes in handy so you have an awesome look!
