Target Summer 2015 Beauty Box

Target Beauty Box- Summer 2015

 

Target has been offering seasonal beauty boxes over the last year or so and this one was recently offered (and sold out). I am so glad I was able to purchase one!

 

Target Beauty Box
Price: $7 (one time purchase)
Contains:

• Olay Regenerist Luminous HydraSwirl Eye Cream (full-sized value- $23)
• Fekkai Pre-Soleil Hair Mist (value for 1.7 oz- $7)
• Revlon HD Lipstick in Gladiolus (full-sized value- $8)

• SinfulColors Nail Polish in Thimbleberry (full-sized product value for- $2)
 

SinfulColors Thimbleberry (2 coats)

.
I came up with a value of just above $40, and I'm super happy with this box. There was also a coupon for $3 off a $15 beauty purchase at Target.

.

The box contained three full-sized products (eye cream, lipstick, and nail polish) that I will definitely be trying. I will definitely use the nail polish remover pads for travel, and may give the hair mist a try.

.

If you like sample boxes like me, the Target Beauty Boxes are great to try because there is no commitment since there is no subscription. It's also nice that you know what you are getting when you place your order! These boxes have been selling out, so be sure and purchase it when you see it next time if you are interested.

 



Book Review: Accidents of Marriage

I have been doing a lot of reading lately. Such is a side effect of insomnia. The majority of what I have been reading has been light brain candy- mostly YA romance with some NA mixed in. But I set those aside when I was sent a paperback copy of Accidents of Marriage by Randy Susan Meyers to review.

Although the subject matter is much more serious, I found myself thoroughly sucked into to this book. Maddy and Ben are a married couple with three children in a marriage that has grown weary and fragile with age and time. After a terrible tragedy, nothing will ever be the same. In chapters told from the points of view of not only Maddy and Ben, but also their eldest daughter Emma, Meyers explores the aftermath of the accident and what it does to their family.




It's a very powerful and emotional book (I found myself tearing up several times during the book), and the author's vast experience working both batterers and victims of abuse is evident in her portrayal of the characters in the book.

Accidents of Marriage was released on paperback on June 9 and is available at retailers such as Amazon. The book was book was recently listed on the Massachusetts Book Awards "Fiction Must Reads for 2015."
