Target Beauty Box April 2020 | Spring into Clean

On By Manda JanetteIn cruelty free, drugstore, Hotornot, makeup, UncategorizedLeave a comment

The two April beauty boxes are currently still in stock on Targets website. So, of course I had to pick them both up as well.

This box retails for $7. This box just happens to be full of clean beauty products, which I absolutely love!

Pacifica Glowing Makeup Remover Wipes

Pacifica makes awesome makeup remover wipes, so I was happy to receive these. There is coconut water in them though, and my skin tends to dislike coconut. We will see how they work for me.

Acure Resurfacing Overnight Glycolic Treatment

This treatment is meant to refine and resurface the skin, while improving the skins tone and texture.

Shea Moisture Skin Rescue Cream Cleanser

This cleanser contains hemp oil, witch hazel, and vitamin E. All fantastic for the skin. I am excited to test it out.

The Good Stuff Complete Repair Balm

This is a lightweight detangler. I go through detanglers like crazy. I have long have that gets knotted crazy easy. The scent is very light and fresh.

Spring & Vine Tea Tree and Mint Scalp Soothing Shampoo bar

I love shampoo bars! I have only tried the ones from Lush. I am excited to try another companies version. I have eczema on my scalp, so I am sure the tea tree and mint will feel wonderful.

Overall thoughts

$7 very well spent! 5 clean beauty products I am excited to try as well as a $3 off $15 on beauty purchase at Target.

Target Beauty Box May 2020 | Summer Hair & Skincare

On By Manda JanetteIn Hotornot, makeup, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I remembered Target beauty boxes exist! So I picked up the three that are currently in stock. There are new boxes each month to watch out for, and they are sold until they are out of stock. They retail for $7.

Bioré Charcoal Deep Cleansing Pore Strip

There is one strip. I have tried the charcoal pore strips before and do enjoy them. I will probably end up using this tonight actually.

Hask Argan Oil Repairing Deep Conditioner Packet

Another product I have tried before and do enjoy! I like to empty these packets into a rubber wear container that you would put a dressing in. That way I can have more than one use, and not just leave an open packet in my shower.

Heritage Store Rose Water Spray

I have been wanting to try the Heritage store rose water, but for whatever reason never have. I use a rose water spray most days. I am currently using the Mario Badescue one.

CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen Lotion for face SPF 50

This is such a cute little sunscreen sample. I will be tossing this into the travel makeup bag that I take to the lake.

Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe Sea Salt Spray

I really do enjoy the Not Your Mother’s brand. I was already considering picking up this sea salt spray to experiment with this summer. Now, I have the chance to try and fake beach waves!

Eva NYC Mane Magic 10-in-1 Primer

According to the info card this product does everything you can think of for your hair, besides wash it. It reduces frizz, strengthen and softens hair, adds shine, cuts down dry time, and protects against thermal and UV damage. I am excited to see if it really does work some magic on my hair.

Colab Original Dry Shampoo

Can’t go wrong with dry shampoo! I have never used anything from Colab, so this will be a nice introduction.

Overall Thoughts

Definitely worth the $7. I will be getting use out of every single product. I also like that the box comes with a $3 off a $15 beauty purchase at Target. It’s a coupon I will for sure use!

What did you think of this beauty box? In my opinion, Target usually knocks it out of the park.

Target Beauty Box NOV. 2017| Hello Pause Button

On By Manda JanetteIn drugstore, Hotornot, inexpensivemakeup, skin care, Uncategorized4 Comments

What it is: A monthly box of drugstore beauty goodies, that IS NOT a subscription. So keep your eyes peeled for it!

Cost: $5-$10

Novembers’ Box is all about tuning out of the hustle and bustle of the world and relaxing, which is something that is very hard to do during the holiday season.

*this is not a CF Box. Any non-CF products I will be passing on.*

*The card in the box does not contain prices but, does contain a $3 off $15 beauty purchase at target coupon.*

Dove Derma 2-in-1 Ant-dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner

“All in one scalp formula effectively tackles dandruff while renewing scalp and hairs natural moisture.”

Sadly, Dove is not CF. I would have loved to try this product out. I have a really itchy scalp and would have actually gotten a lot of use out of this product. I will be passing it along to someone who will use it.

Skinfix Ultra Rich Hand Cream

“Quickly absorbing Cream is loaded with Shea butter, allantoin and natural oils to relieve dry, cracked hands.”

Now, this is a CF! I’m excited to try a Skinfix product, they have been on my radar for a bit now. As the weather gets colder, my hands get more dry and painful. I am sure this cream will come in handy..

There is no discernible scent, but it feels fantastic.

Missha Snail Hydro-Gel Mask

“Snail mucin and baobab tree extract work to hydrate, heal and soothe the skin while helping to prevent aging.”

I am actually unaware of Misshas’ CF stance, but I am going to take a wild guess and say, NO. 🐌Going to be passing this mask along to my mom.

Tom’s of Maine Coconut Bar Soap

“Triple milled soap formulated to be gentle on skin and help maintain skins natural moisture.”

Not only is this brand CF, but it is pretty clean as well. It is a brand I know and love. I also REALLY love soap, so soap is always welcome.

Maybelline Great Lash mini

“Cult classic mascara features a lash doubling formula and volume increasing brush.”

Even before I went CF, great lash was not one of my favorite mascaras. This little dude is for sure being passed on. But, can we appreciate how cute it is in tiny packaging!?

La Roche-Posay Facial Cleanser

“Hydrating Cream gently cleanses and helps restore skins natural moisture, pH and protective barrier.”

I am not 100% sure if this brand is CF. If it is, I will be trying this cleanser. It seems like it will be really Hydrating and gentle.

That is all for this months Box! Not much I can use, but for the typical non-CF consumer the bargain of the box is worth $7. Not for me though. I am probably skipping the next Target Box.

Target Beauty Box June 2017 | Hello Sunshine 

On By Manda JanetteIn drugstore, skin care, UncategorizedLeave a comment

*not a monthly box, have to catch it when it goes up! This one was priced at $7*

Hawaiian Tropic Island Sport Sunscreen 


It’s summer time, so sunseeen is a must have. I like the Hawaiian tropic brand, everything always smells so good and this Island sport is not exception! 

John Frieda Beach Blonde Sea Salt Spray


I have have that is naturally pretty wavy, so I love using Sea Salt spray in my hair! I used to love the Josh Frieda Blonde line, but quite because it is not cruelty free. 

Masque Bar Soothing Sheet Mask


I am with out a doubt addicted t sheet masks. This one is meant to hydrate and smooth skin. Giving you a healthier complexion.

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Treatment 


This is a cult favorite product that I have yet to try. Aussie is not cruelty free, but it is something I have always wanted to try. This is a fantastic travel size for a deep conditioner as well.

Schick Hydro Silk Women’s Razor


With the price of those box, you are essentially paying a dollar for this razor… hell yeah! Razors can be super expensive.

Sinful Colors Nail Polish “Island Coral”


This isn’t exactly my color, but you can’t beat a full sized nail polish. I will probably paaa this onto a friend.

NYX Gotcha Covered Concealer “medium”


A NYX Concealer for essentially $1!! 

This one is supposed to be infused with coconut oil, and be water proof! I really hope it is light enough for me. I doubt it though, I am fairly fair. 

That’s it for this months Box, I can’t wait to see what next months holds!

Thank you so much for reading and I really hope you enjoyed this post!

Target Beauty Box June 2017 | Fathers Day Edition

On By Manda JanetteIn drugstore, skin care, Uncategorized3 Comments

*not a monthly box, have to catch it when released, this one way $7.*

Father’s Day is coming up, so Target took the opportunity to also offer a men’s box this month. It contains 7 items. That makes everything $1 an item! 


Nivea Men Creme

This is something my SO has tried before and loves. He hates buying stuff like this though, because my grandmother stock piles with coupons and he gets alternatives through that. 

Specifically designed for men, this multipurpose Creme moisturizes without feeling greasy. 

Olivina Men All-in-1 Body Wash

The scent included is Burbon Ceder. I am personally in love with the scent. My SO likes it as well. It is warm and earthy, but not overly masculine. I would use it, honestly! It’s a great travel size as well. 

Schick Hydro 5 Men’s Razor

Razors are expensive. That’s all I have to say. 

Dove Men + Care Elemnets Deodorant 

I think this travel deotorant is larger than the travel Sizes at the store! It is scented with sage a smells great. It claims to protect from odor and sweat for 48 hours. I’m sure he will get use out of this.

Colgate Optic White Radiant Tooth Paste

This is supposed to be a fantastic tooth paste. Who can’t use tooth paste!? 

Everything aside, I have already stole this from him and started using it 😂 Swiped!!

Yes to Natural Men Cleansing Wipes

We do a lot of hiking and camping during the summers. I am sure these will ended up used during a trip. I have seen a lot of products like this meant for men lately! 

AXE Adrenaline Cool Charge Body Wash

I think my SO will enjoy this, but I really dislike mint. It is mint and ginger scented. It is a nice travel size though.

This post was a tiny bit different! I hope you enjoyed it, thank you for reading!!

Target Beauty Box Natural Edition | April 2017

On By Manda JanetteIn cruelty free, drugstore, skin care, vegan4 Comments

When I saw that Target had a natural beauty box, there was no way I was passing it up.

It retails for around $7, but it is not a subscription, you have to jump on it as soon as it hits there site! 

Let’s get into this box, because I am really happy with it!


Burts Bees White Tea Facial Cleansing Towelettes

It has been years since I have used these, but I remember loving them. 

Infused with white tea extract, calming cucumber, and aloe to gently remove dirt, oil, and makeup for all skin types. 


Juice organic Deluxe Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner 

Who doesn’t love travel hair care. I think it is literally my favorite thing. I have been curious about this brand, so this is a great way to test it out.

Volumizes, thickens and promotes healthy hair growth with passion fruit, soy protein and barely protein for fuller hair.


This is a brand I already enjoy for oral care- and Josiah does as well, but we have never tried their whitening formula.

Whitens teeth naturally; free of dyes, artificial sweeteners or flavors, microbeads, preservatives and gluten.


SheaMoisture Kukui Nut Facial Cream Cleanser and Face and Neck Cream

This is a brand I have fallen quickly in love with, anything I get to try from them is exciting for me.

Blend of kukui nut and grape seed oils delivers youth infusing vitamins and antioxidants to help protect against aging.


Yes to Tomatoes Detoxifiying Charcoal Mud Mask

Literally my favorite mask. I can ALWAYS use a back up or 5..

Made with charcoal to naturally draw out impurities, help fight and prevent acne, and removes excess oil.


Acure Pore Clarifiying Red Clay Scrub

This is a new product to me, but a brand I really enjoy.

Moroccan red clay draws out impurities with black jojoba beads gently exfoliate to reveal clearer, smoother skin.


Raw Sugar Lemon Sugar Body Wash

Holy hell this stuff smells amazing!!!!

Processed with cold press technology and packed with vitamin C, antioxidants and essential oils to cleanse and nourish skin.

👍👍👍👍👍 target Beauty!!!
