The Target Beauty Box curates products sold by the chain store and sends them on a monthly basis, offering various themes for those who seek to receive up-to-date beauty and lifestyle products.
The Target Beauty Box sends out items each month, which can consist of everything from razors and makeup to shampoo and deodorant. This month, for example, Target is offering a Father's Day box that contains deodorant, a razor, wipes, and two body washes – all of which are offered in sample sizes for the receiver to test out, and then purchase if they find use for the product.
This subscription service model allows Target to parallel some of its smaller competitors, and personalize products and curate them in the convenient way that consumers now desire.
