Unboxing....Play! by Sephora August 2016 #TheEyeOpeners #Sephora

This is my third Play! by Sephora box that came last week. I'm still not completely sold on this box & am trying to decide whether to cancel it before they bill me next month. I've got a few more days to think about it. I really love the beauty products that I find in the Sephora store & this box just doesn't blow me away like I had anticipated that it would.

The theme for this box is The Eye Opener: "If looks could thrill! There's more than meets the eye with this month's selection of skincare and makeup. After a long summer, refresh and recharge your beauty routine with the mascara for standout lashes, an energizing moisturizer and striking looks that will put all eyes on you."

Attached to the front of the informational pamphlet is a Play! Pass that is good for 50 extra Beauty Insider points with an in-store purchase.

All of the products are packaged inside of this cute drawstring bag.

And these are the products that came in the bag:

Unboxing....Target Beauty Box August 2016 #MakeTheGrade #TargetBeauty #TargetStyle

On the first of August, Target offered the Back to College Beauty Box.

The products in this Beauty Box came wrapped in bright pink tissue paper & the theme of the box is "make the GRADE". An information card is included that tells all about the products plus a coupon for $3 off of any beauty purchase of $15 or more at Target or Target.com. These are the products that came in this box:

Juice Organics Repairing Shampoo & Conditioner (1 ounce $2)

Secret Clinical Strength Smooth Solid Deodorant in Light and Fresh scent (0.5 ounce $1.20)

Crest 3D White Whitestrips Professional Effects (1 set $1.85)

up & up Women's 5-Blade Razor (2-pack $4.15)

Olay Makeup Remover Wipes (7 towelettes $1.40)

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask (0.5 ounce $5.15)

CoverGirl Katy Kat Eye Mascara (Full Size $6.99)

NYC Get It All Lip Color in PINKtastic (Full Size $2.99)

(prices from Target.com)

The products in this box have a value of about $26 and I paid $7 with free shipping so this is a very good value.

Target Beauty Boxes are not a subscription box that you can sign up for so you have to be ready when they are offered because they are first come, first serve & they sell out pretty quickly. 

I try to get these boxes each time they are offered because they usually contain products that I already use or have wanted to try so I'll be watching & waiting for the next Target Beauty Box & I'll give you a heads up!
