Remember last month when I posted that Target had a new Beauty Bag available? And then remember when, just minutes after my post, it was GONE? Well if you didn't get a chance to sign up for it this time around, but you DID get the Beauty Bag from last October, you might be happy to know that you didn't miss much.
A huge thanks to reader Tiffany for sharing with us the contents of the January 2012 Beauty Bag, which she just received in the mail:

Look familiar? Well that's because it's essentially the exact same bag they sent out last time around.

Its the same makeup
bag that was sent out in last year's beauty bag and the contents are
almost identical as the last Target Beauty Bag. The bag included a
sample packet of the John Frieda full Repair Shampoo and
Conditioner (which included a $2 coupon off any John Frieda Full Repair
product), a sample packet of Garnier Fructis Pure Clean Fortifying
Shampoo and Conditioner, a sample packet of TRESemme Naturals Shampoo
and Conditioner, a sample of Loreal Youth Code Day/Night Cream, and a
travel Ponds Evening Soothe Wet Cleansing Towelettes. I did want to note
that this bag did not include the booklet of Target Coupons like the
last two bags.
My guess (and of course this is only a guess) is that Target discovered they had a small surplus of leftover bags from the October promotion, so they decided to give them away (minus the coupon booklet, because those coupons expired a while back). If this theory is correct, that would explain why the bags went SO QUICKLY this time around (because they only had a small amount to give away in the first place).
So the point is, if you missed out on the January 2012 promotion but were able to get the bag from October 2011, don't feel bad because you wouldn't have received anything new.
Now, let's all join hands and make a wish: Please, Target, release ANOTHER free Beauty Bag soon, full of NEW goodies!
Thanks so much, Tiffany, for the great info and pics!
I feel so much better now!
ReplyDeleteMe too,Jessika because I was a little upset with myself for missing it this time around but now I don't feel so bad! :)
DeleteThanks for posting this (and thanks to Tiffany too!) I was so sad that I missed this one, glad it wasn't anything I don't already have.
ReplyDeleteYes, I got this last year. Sorry it was the same stuff :(
ReplyDeletehaha I'm currently using this as my everyday makeup bag!
ReplyDeleteI am too! Its the makeup bag that stays in my purse!
DeleteAw man, I just want that cute little Hawaiian bag!
ReplyDeleteLike others have said, I don't feel so sad about missing this one. Also, if you go to the Target website scroll down and click on coupons (very bottom of the page) they usually offer the same coupons as the goodie bag!
ReplyDeleteI feel relieved. I thought that I had missed the new Target beauty bag but it's the same as the one from October.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the phot, I was all "Wait... She must've got her photos all confuzzled!". Now I don't feel so sad about missing out on this go 'round!
ReplyDeleteLOL @ confuzzled! I love that word. ;)
DeleteMy favorite part of the beauty bags, are the bags themselves!! I love them! I use the purple and pink one as my regular make up bag.
ReplyDeletepheww! I'm relieved! I got the bag in October, and was upset when I didn't get one this time around. But no worries! ;)
ReplyDeleteits the exact same as the last one they had?
ReplyDeleteYup - just no coupons. I got the last one, and I remember seeing all those goodies in it.
DeleteThey didn't include coupons this time around??
DeleteNo, but in this post I mention my theory as to why they didn't, which makes sense to me (if true!).
DeleteNow I feel better as well. I did get this bag in October. Tiffany's surplus idea sounds reasonable.
ReplyDeleteJust like others have said the bags themselves are the real prize.
Yay! I was sooo mad at Target for that but now I feel much better. I actually still have some of those samples laying around that I never got to or didn't appeal to me. The Pond's facial cloths were amazing and I NEVER would have tried them without the free sample because I'm pretty stuck on my Say Yes to Cucumbers and Say Yes to Blueberries facial cloths. That's why I love sample bags like these.
ReplyDeleteOh, I feel better too. Because I got the first two bags they offered and I LOVED LOVED LOVED it! Thanks for the post! Love your blog. Did you try the instant pad thai noodles yet? Let me know if they're good! You should add fried eggs to it. Yum.
ReplyDeleteNot yet, but I'm definitely going to get some! :) and thanks so much for the egg idea! xo
DeleteHow do you sign up for this???
ReplyDeleteYou can only sign up when the bag is actually available. I post about the bags when they offer them, so when the next promotion comes around, you'll know!
DeleteBoo! Bod job, Target!
ReplyDeleteI was so bummed to miss out on this round, but I don't feel so terrible knowing the contents are practically the same. >_<
