Beauty Box Subscription: January 2016 Target Refresh Beauty Box

In my previous post I reviewed the first to two beauty boxes Target came out with earlier this month. Target does not offer a beauty box subscription so you need to subscribe to beauty blogs or groups to find out when these come out and grab them as fast as you can since they sell out quickly!

This beauty box, the Target Refresh Beauty Box (please note this box is sold out but I provided a link in case you were curious), came with nine items total and cost $7. The box also included a card with a description of each item and a coupon to use in-store or online for $3 off of a $15 beauty purchase. I love when they provide a coupon but it usually expires within a short amount of time, in this case by February 14, 2016.



Here are the items I received in the box (front row, L-R): Simple Micellar Wipes (full size!!!!) - Retail price: $6.99; Clear Men Scalp Therapy2-1 Complete Care Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (sample size) - Cost: 71 cents; Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy Total Care Nourishing Shampoo (sample size) - Cost: 65 cents; John Frieda Keraflex Hair Spray (sample size) - Cost: $1.50.

(Back row, L-R) Acure Day Cream (sample size) - Cost: $9.68; Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Pads (sample size) - Cost: $1.08; Scunci Braided Elastic Bands (sample size) - Cost: 96 cents + $1 off coupon on next purchase; Marlowe Extra Moisturizing Lotion (sample size) - Cost: 67 cents; Nivera In-Shower Body Lotion (sample size) - Cost: $1.20.

Overall the total worth of this box was $23.44 which is a great deal since it only cost $7! I was a bit disappointed that there was only one full size product whereas the other box had 3 full size items. I realize some of the sample items in this box were higher cost items but it would have been nice to have another full size item since the other box had three. I still liked the products in this box and can't wait to use them. I already use the Simple Micellar Wipes and they are fabulous for removing makeup if you don't want to use soap. I'm excited to try the Acure Day Cream and the Marlowe Extra Moisturizing Lotion and hope to provide an update on these items.

More Life: Getting Back On Track

It's been awhile since I've written anything here. I love to write but am not very good about keeping up with it. I have a few posts that I've been working on that I'd like to get up soon. One of them is about my weight-loss/health journey story. May not be interesting to anyone but me. The reason I'd like to get it up is to have a record of it somewhere. If I was cognizant, I would have kept better records of where I started and where I am today. There are a few things I do remember and things I currently do and other things. Those will be up in a post or two soon. Other posts I'd like to write are reviews of things I've been loving lately, food posts, healthy lifestyle posts, etc. I really do need to exercise my writing skills. Hope anyone who reads this is having a good summer. See y'all soon!

More Life: Life Happens

Life sometimes happens when you least need it to happen. In my case, toward the end of January, my knee started swelling one afternoon to the point it hurt to touch it and I couldn't even walk on it. Initially the doctors thought it might be gout, which the doctor explained to me that when people lose a large amount of weight and are taking certain blood pressure medications, can happen. I was assured I could resume normal activities in a week. I got some anti-inflammatory medication and took a blood test to confirm findings and was on my way. Well, things got better after I started taking the medication, and after two days, I could actually walk on my leg again. But then, it started to get a little worse and my whole leg started swelling. I was also told that the blood test results were negative regarding gout and referred to an orthopedic doctor. Before I could go in to see the orthopedic doctor, my knee was hurting badly and I was getting worried about the inflammation in my

Product Reviews: Dove Cool Essentials Dry Spray (Influenster Target VoxBox)

Occasionally, if I'm lucky, I will receive a box from Influenster . If I'm super lucky, I will get a box with a variety of items. If you don't know what Influenster is, it is a website where you can learn about products and even get a few for free to try out and submit a review. There are also other activities you do to earn more free products to review. And who doesn't love something for nothing. You also might get super lucky and receive one of their boxes with a variety of items to try. But I've only been lucky lately from Influenster and received two items from them. One was the Dove Men+Care Extra Fresh Dry Spray Antiperspirant  for my husband to try out and the other was Dove Cool Essentials Dry Spray for me to review. In this post, I will only be reviewing the Dove Cool Essentials Dry Spray since I have used this product. The Dove Cool Essentials Dry Spray comes in a cool and simply decorated canister. The fragrance is called "cool essentials.
