target back to college beauty boxes

hi guys! sorry this is a bit late! i sent these to the in-laws' because of the move! anyway, here ya go. these were $5 each. the theme was back to college, and the boxes were "head of the class" and "honor roll". ~Lin-chan ^.~

honor roll box ($5)

1. bathery delicate pouf (ret. $1.99) -- it's a shower pouf...what else is there to say?
   repurchase? probably, i always use these.
2. john frieda luxurious volume 7-day treatment (1oz--mini, ret. $8.99 for 4oz [$2.25]) -- i got a free sample of this from the target sample page a couple months back..haven't used it. i might pass it to a friend and try the other one.
   repurchase? probably not
3. covergirl outlast all day primer (1oz--full size, ret. $9.79) -- i've been eyeing this primer, but didn't want to shell out $10 at the drugstore for it...thankfully it was included here so i don't have to, and i do have a lot of primers in my stash to go through still......... it has the watery lotion-y type texture and doesn't have the silicone-y slip that i like, but we'll see how it performs.
   repurchase? maybe
4. nyx butter gloss in strawberry parfait (full size, ret. $4.99) -- i think i'll give this one away. this isn't a me color.
   repurchase? not this shade
5. goody ouchless elastics (3 elastics, (price varies) ret. about $4.59 for 37 count [$0.37]) -- more hair ties!
   repurchase? maybe
6. burt's bees white tea facial wipes (10 wipes--mini, ret. $5.99 for 30 wipes [$2]) -- got these in one of the boxes around christmas time, and i thought that these were only ok....
   repurchase? nah
7. olay white strawberry body wash (3oz--mini, ret. $4.99 for 23.6oz [$0.63]) -- this has a really nice scent. it says it's strawberry and mint..but i think it leans more strawberries and cream with a hint of something extra. this is something else i've been eyeing, but i don't need to buy more body wash right now..
   repurchase? maybe
8. card with product info & $3 off $15 beauty purchase coupon at target

approximate product value: ~$22.02

head of the class box ($5)

1. hollywood fashion tape (6 strips--mini, ret. $8.89 for 36 strips [$1.48]) -- i already love this brand of fashion tape. it works so well and lasts pretty much all day--or at least long enough for your event. they also have hem tape, which i'm interested in trying to see how well that holds up. if you adhere them to your skin for prolonged periods of time, you might get irritation (i did).
   repurchase? probably, i always keep these on hand.
2. wet n wild max volume plus mascara in amp'd black (full size, ret. $4.99) -- always interested in a new mascara!
   repurchase? maybe
3. herbal essences wild naturals dry oil spray (2.8oz--full size, ret. $5.99) -- it has a very nice fruity-floral-y scent. can't wait to try it!
   repurchase? maybe
4. bathery luxury pumice stone (ret. $1.99) -- it's a pumice stone..what else should i say..? the blue part is more of a foamy thingie..
   repurchase? probably not, since they last forever and i have some in use already
5. goody ouchless elastics (3 elastics, (price varies) ret. about $4.59 for 37 count [$0.37]) -- more hair ties!
   repurchase? maybe
6. yes to cucumbers facial wipes (10 wipes--mini, ret. $2.99) -- i haven't tried anything yes to yet, and i've been wanting to try these. tried one out, and they take off makeup pretty well, but aren't super great on stubborn eye makeup. slightly burns the eyes a bit, but has a cooling effect on the skin. smells like cucumbers!
   repurchase? maybe

target spring 2014 beauty box & impressions

hi all! target offered a second beauty box for $5 through the actual target website this time. they also didn't keep it a surprise what items we'd receive this time, which was nice too. ~Lin-chan ^.~

1. TONI&GUY casual sea salt texturising spray (2.5oz--mini, ret. $4.99) -- i'm not huge into texturising sprays since they generally dry out your hair, but i'll have to give this a try and update this post later.
   repurchase? probably not
2. covergirl smoochies sizzle gloss in tickled pink (full size, ret. $5.99) -- this gloss is ok, it doesn't last very long and the glitter particles are so large that it's almost like an exfoliant. though this is 'colored' it doesn't appear to do anything really different to my lips, aside from the sparkle. i'm probably going to pass this off to a friend.
   repurchase? no
3. herbal essences naked dry shampoo (1.7oz--mini, ret. $4.99 for 4.9oz [$1.73]) -- i'll have to update on this one too. it appears to go on nearly clear and has a slight citrus scent to it.
   repurchase? maybe--the price is right!
4. l'oreal voluminous butterfly mascara in black (full size, ret. $7.99) -- this mascara is pretty good, the wand is kind of annoying and interesting at the same time. mostly the issue is that you have to be ambidextrous in order to actually apply this mascara the way they intended this wand. i'm probably going to pass this off to a friend.
   repurchase? no
5. jergens bb body cream for light skintones (2oz--mini, ret. $11.99 for 7.5oz [$3.20]) -- i like how this lotion has a very light and pleasant fragrance, i don't however see the point in body bb creams--or at least this one..especially when it went on invisible.......anyway...
   repurchase? no
