There’s nothing like the giddy anticipation of opening up a box filled with a mysterious array of tiny treasures, but doing so might be a bit much for many who either can’t afford to keep up with a subscription beyond a few months or haven’t finished the samples they initially received yet. But Target is delivering the best of both worlds: a slew of beauty buys to sample for less than the price of a full-sized product — minus any commitment.
The retailer has just released a range of six themed beauty boxes that are $7 each and come housed in pretty, Insta-ready printed packaging that makes any last-minute gifting super simple. Each is designed to tackle a specific beauty need whether you just need something to help you get out the door in the morning, repair the damage your hair has incurred, or even simply wind down for the day. So you don’t have to worry about getting stuck with samples you won’t use (though you can always gather them into a gift basket for someone in your circle who could use it).

Target’s BeYOUtiful box is an easy place to start as it’s meant to allow your natural beauty to step into the spotlight. It comes filled with samples of L’Oreal’s Pure Clay Detoxify and Brighten Cleanser, Honest Beauty’s Younger Face Deep Hydration Cream, and Simple’s Water Boost Micellar Makeup Remover Eye Pads for a clear and radiant complexion; OLLY’s Undeniable Beauty Gummy and Nexxus’s Keraphix Shampoo and Conditioner for stronger, healthier strands; and e.l.f.’s Gotta Glow Lip Tint in Perfect Pink and Sinful Nail Color in Galac Sea or Wondermint for a splash of color.
For anyone looking decompress after a stressful day, there always the Treat Yourself box to make you feel perfectly pampered with an array of bath bombs from ME!Bath, Dr. Teals, and Luxe by Mr. Bubble. While surrounded by sweet scents and plenty of bubbly, you can wash away the day with Honest’s Refreshingly Clean Gel Cleanser before smoothing on Olay’s Regenerist Whips and Bodycology Free & Lovely Coconut & Rose Body Butter so you stay moisturized from head to toe and feel like this.
But the one I’m the most likely to pick out for my #SundaySkincareShowdown on my Insta Stories is its ALL THE MASKS box. It comes packed with a few different formulas like sheet masks from Yes To and St. Ives, peel-off masks from Neutrogena and Masque Bar, and a multi-masking trio from Que Bella so we can switch things up every week and still score radiant skin as result.
Plus there are boxes meant to strengthen, hydrate, and enhance the shine of textured tresses, streamline your morning beauty routine, and even introduce you to a few beauty brands from across the pond. While it’s hard to resist the allure of every aisle of Target’s beauty section, the boxes are sure to satisfy our cosmetic cravings without any retail regrets.
