Target Is Selling Beauty Boxes Full Of Cult Fave Brands For $7 A Pop — No Subscription Necessary

by Kim Carpluk

Ah, Target — the heavenly shopping oasis where you can pick up a new pair of distressed denim shorts, some La Croix, and your favorite mascara all at once. Now, Target is making our lives even easier by selling super affordable beauty boxes in store. How much is the Target Beauty Box? You'll have enough cash to buy several and also snag some dish soap, an Apple watch, and dog food while you're at it.

Beauty boxes are a fantastic way to discover new brands and products without playing cosmetic roulette on a new and unknown full-size item. You can easily try dozens of new products, taking note of your faves to revisit at a later date. The best part of the beauty box experience is the price. If you don't love one of your goodies, it's no sweat. Simply gift it to a friend who'd be a better fit, or trash it. It's your money and your prerogative.

However, in the age of instant gratification, waiting patiently by your mailbox for a new box of cosmetics to arrive is... difficult to say the least. When you're having a really bad day and want to do a new mask while you sip a glass of wine, you want that mask now, not a week from now.

Luckily, Target's boxes are available for purchase whenever you want them (as long as your nearest Target is open, of course). No subscription is necessary. Plus, with five different box options, there's something for every single beauty lover out there.
