The Underrated Brands You Have to Try in Target’s Black History Month Beauty Box

If shopping at Target is more lifestyle than luxury, you’re not alone. It’s the go-to for literally everything including best-selling beauty finds. And since there’s a 99.9 percent chance you’ll be there at least once (talk about self-control) or twice this month, here’s one more item for that never-ending list: the Target Beauty Box. Normally, we’d bypass it, but this month’s drop is Black History Month-themed and includes some products we’ve been dying to finally try.

If you’re not familiar with the Target Beauty boxes, here’s what you need to know. Each month you’ll find a creatively curated box filled with deluxe sample and full-size products to swipe, spritz and lather on without committing to a lofty price tag. As for this month’s picks, expect top-selling products from black-owned businesses that are already sitting pretty on Target shelves.

While some are staples you’re already familiar with, like Carol’s Daughter and SheaMoisture, you’ll also find more under-the-radar brands like Zandra and Eden Body Works. They’re also themed around giving yourself some extra TLC and self-care with masks, body butters and bath bombs. R&R is a year-round must so considering this a friendly reminder.

The Black History Month boxes are available in-store and online at Target and are only $15 each. Keep scrolling to see what’s inside each one.
