Stuffs I Got From Target

I love Target.  I love Target.  I picked up a few things as you can see.

From Last Week’s Sephora Haul

While waiting for the Cheesecake Factory to open last week, we ended up taking a stroll through the mall it’s located in to kill some time. We ended up killing 1.5 hours of time. We hit the Disney Store (my favorite store ever), the MAC store and then we ended up at…Sephora.

OK so I didn’t need anything from Sephora, but I always come out with at least one thing. Here is what I picked up:

1.   Sephora by OPI nail polishes – This is my favorite brand for nail polish and I got them in the colors Domestic Goddess (a dark magenta purple color and I love this color) and Call Your Mother (a somewhat gray, but lilacy color that goes on semi shiney and looks flat).  $9.00 each

2. a pack of OLEHENRIKSEN makeup wipes – I paid $15.00 for 30 – the sales rep said it’s a new brand they just brought in and I get my first Sephora skincare point if I buy it (if you buy 4 or 5 – I can’t remember right now – of any full sized skincare product you get the 5 or 6 full size for free) . These wipes smell like orange cremesicles literally. They are nothing special. When I use them they feel scratchy, but then again my face is sensitive because I am under a Dermatologists care at the moment. My dollar makeup wipes (30 pack as well) from Odd Lots works for me better than these in my case. These wipes do not clean any better than my dollar wipes – it’s basically the same.  Also, these wipes are not as moist as MAC wipes or Neutrogena wipes.  I will be returning these wipes.

3.  Sephora nail file – I like this file a lot.  I think it is made out of what seems to be glass which is sanded down so it doesn’t poke or cut anything.  I had never seen one like it until I bought it, went to Target and saw that Revlon has one too!  LOL!  Both files cost $6.00.  The difference between the two is that with the Revlon one you can use both sides to file whereas with the Sephora one you can  only use one side (the other side is not textured).  I opted to keep the Sephora file because it has the name “SEPHORA” on it.

Betseyville Cosmetics Travel Bag via TJ Maxx

I was able to get my first Betsey Johnson anything and it is a Betseyville cosmetics travel bag.  It’s all sequins if you can’t see it in the picture…the entire bag is sequins and is totally me – flashy.  Ha!  Loved it when I laid eyes on it so I had to get it.  Retail price was about $40. and I got it for $12.99 at TJ Maxx.   Plaids are in and if they weren’t I wouldn’t care anyway, but I had to say that they are in.  The zipper is gold.  The bag is not small, it’s the size of any medium sized cosmetics bag and is roomy inside.  This baby will be with me on our next romantic vacation to Vegas next year.  I loves it a lot…

Sonia Kashuk Bamboo Kabuki Brush Review

My Sonia Kashuk Bamboo Kabuki brush now lives in the makeup bag I carry around my purse and I use it with my blot powder to blot my face whenever I need to.  I sometimes will use it with m MSFs if I want to where it on my cheeks because it picks up just the right amount of product to work with.

This brush is taller than your average kabuki brush so it’s not a “buki” brush.  The handle is about four inches ling and the brush is about two inches long.  The brush is synthetic, very dense, very well made, attractive, strong, eco-friendly (I think) and is meant to be used with powders/minerals.

The brush sheds minimally and dries fast after a deep cleaning.  I only find two cons with this brush and 1. is that it’s a big brush and 2. it doesn’t come with a cover or is not a retractable kabuki.  I have to be careful when zipping and unzipping my makeup bag so that I won’t lose any hairs in it.  The hairs/bristols are not prickly or hard like my Bare Escentuals kabuki brush and doesn’t shed as much either (not even close).

I bought this brush from Target and paid $12.99 for it, I believe and I think that’s expensive for a drug store brush, but the brush is pretty good for the price.  It beats paying $30 for a higher end kabuki.  Again, this brush does what it’s supposed to do so I’m happy with it.

Pictures!

Excuse my nails!  I was swatching nail polishes at the time I was taking these pictures.
