The January 2019 Target Beauty Box is all about flawless beauty finds, featuring 7 different sample and full-size products to try out! Target always includes an information card with every beauty box sent out.

The back of the card details each product with tips and hints on how to use them! The bottom of the card has an awesome single-use coupon for $3 off a beauty purchase of $15 or more!

Love Beauty & Planet | Argan Oil & Lavendar Deodorant (FULL SIZE!) – $6.99

Moroccan argan oil leaves underarms moisturized while French lavender keeps you smelling fragrant all day long! This product is vegan and free of aluminum, alcohol, and parabens.

The cost of this deodorant alone covers the original cost of the box. (Score!) The deodorant looks and smells lovely, however I will definitely be gifting this to a friend. I tend to go psycho-crazy if my underarms become sticky or wet so I rely heavily on my antiperspirant deodorant to keep me cool, dry and sane.

Palmer’s | Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil (0.9 fl oz) – est. value $1.66

Cocoa butter, vitamin E and natural oils work to improve the appearance of scars and help even skin tone, so you can say hello to a radiant complexion.

The full-size bottle of this skin therapy oil is 5.1 fl oz. Good to know, the bottle has a foil seal on the inner rim under the cap. We’ve used Palmer’s cocoa butter hand cream in the past for those excruciatingly dry winters and loved it. We’ve never tried their skin therapy oil before, but since we trust this brand, we’ll give it a go. As with all skin oils, a little goes a long way so we should get several uses out of this sample bottle before it’s finished.

Method | Body Wash Pure Peace (3.4 fl oz) – est. value $1.32

Infused with peony, rose water and pink sea salt, this purifying body wash leaves skin thoroughly moisturized and smelling fresh.

The full-size bottle of this body wash is 18 fl oz. I can’t get over the adorable size of this miniature version. It looks identical to its full-size counterpart, only smaller! Aww! So stinkin’ cute.

I actually purchased this exact body wash a few months back and love it! It smells lightly floral and lathers easily on a shower poof. My only gripe is that I need to use more of this body wash per shower than I normally would using other body washes. Other than that, this is a lovely product and I will definitely buy it again in the future!

Schmidt’s Naturals | Travel Sized Toothpaste Activated Charcoal (0.75 oz) – est. value $0.80

Activated charcoal helps freshen breath, combat plaque, and visibly whiten teeth for a picture-perfect smile. For extra freshness, brush teeth with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to reduce bacteria and surface stains.

The full-size version is 4.7 oz. Mom and I weren’t sure what to expect with this one. Turns out, the paste is a light gray but surprisingly isn’t chalky as we expected it to be. It has a pleasant aroma and taste of real mint and reminds me a lot of chewing gum. Unfortunately (for me), this toothpaste contains stevia which leaves an unpleasant aftertaste in my mouth. If you don’t have an aversion to stevia, I recommend you try this one out!

Up&Up | Premium Cotton Rounds (2 count) – est. value $0.06

Dual-sided design is strong, soft and lint-free, making it the go-to for all skin care needs.

The full-size pack includes 100 cotton rounds. I’ve used these premium cotton rounds for years and have no complaints. They’re not the highest quality but get the job done. They’re smooth on one side and have a textured pattern on the reverse side. I primarily use them for removing makeup with micellar water. They also work great for removing nail polish. My only real question here is… why give us only 2 rounds? Seems like a waste of packaging here!

Garnier | Micellar Water Waterproof (1.05 fl oz) – est. value $1.23

Gently cleanses and effectively removes even waterproof makeup — no rinse, no harsh rubbing, just refreshed skin! Use as face cleanser – morning or night – for an instant refresher.

The standard size of this is 3.4 fl oz. I’ve tried the Garnier All-in-One makeup remover & cleanser (pink cap) before and can’t say I love it. It was incredibly difficult to actually remove my eye makeup and left my eyes red and puffy. I’m wary of trying out this waterproof version, though it probably has a bit more “oomph” since it’s geared toward removing longer-lasting makeup. I think this sample will end up at mom’s house for her to try out.

Maybelline | Eye Studio Master Precise All Day Liner (0.02 fl oz) – est. value $3.59

Ultra-thin brush tip allows for perfect application so you can create a smooth, even cat-eye, every time. When applying, look down into your mirror – not straight! – for the most precision.

The full-size version of this is only marginally larger at 0.034 fl oz. This is a felt tip liquid eyeliner in black. I’ve not personally tried Maybelline’s liquid eyeliners before, however I have probably more than two dozen other liquid eyeliners to get through in my makeup kit right now. We will most likely be incorporating this into a future giveaway so one of you can try it out!

Final Thoughts

The total value of the January 2019 Target Beauty Box was around $15.65, which is more than double what we paid ($7)! My favorite item has to be the Method body wash with it’s cute-as-a-button travel size bottle. I felt the value is great considering everything (except maybe the cotton rounds) was a large enough sample to actually test the products before committing to full-size versions.
