On Target - Beauty Box

 

I received my first even Target Beauty Box today. They offer them seasonally for only $5.00 with free shipping but you have to act fast because they sell out in moments! I belong to a Facebook group and was in the right place at the right time to see the post that Target had stocked them. My fingers flew to the site and I snatched up one!

The theme for this box was vacay vibes.  It was jammed packed with deluxe samples of beach/summer themed treats.

Hair Food Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner

Not Your Mother's Texturizing Sea Salt Spray

SinfulColors Professional Nail Color (full size!)

Laniege Water Sleeping Mask

Banana Boat Sun Comfort SPF 30 Lotion

Nugg Deep Hydration Facial Madk Treatment

you are AMAZING Juicy Grapefruit Body Lotion

Caress Adore Forever Body Wash

There was also a $3.00 off any $15.00 beauty purchase coupon. 

Such a great deal! I like the opportunity to try new products with minimal investment. If you love trying new things too you should keep an eye out for their next box.

Unpot Your Makeup: Final Installment

Here is a little video I did about the makeup unpotting. I might in the future do a how-to on making your own palettes.

Have a crafty day!

Contouring

I have attempted contouring once before but I thought I would give it another shot. I am not really good at this but I am willing to experiment!

Here is my plain face. I washed with barefaced oil used my regular moisturizer then primed with smashbox primer.

Here I used contouring according to what I read online. I look like a clown now but it was fun to apply. 

These are all the products I used on my face. 

I am not sure if the finished look is much of an improvement. I still look tired. I guess nothing fixes late nights other than sleep ;)

Are you experimenting with contouring? Let me know what you think about it.

Getting Frosted

The Fashion Forecast is calling for a return of frosted lipstick for Fall.

I used Julep's Skip The Brush in Golden Guava with Desert Rose layered over. I lined with Avon's lip liner in Chocolate. I think if you don't go over the top frosted it is very wearable. Key is to keep the eyes neutral. What trend will you be trying this Fall?

Unpotted Makeup Progress Report

As you can see, I have a good amount of eyeshadow unpotted and put into my blank palette. I actually made this palette as I could not find any large ones in stock on etsy. I bought a 12x24 inch magnetic sheet from Amazon for about 8 bucks. I had an extra foam board I used to make the rim of the "well" and the base is scrap cardboard and fabric. I think I should be able to fit all my eyeshadows in this. I will need another for cheek/lips. Not a bad effort though I might try washi tape to cover the next one. I highly recommend trying this if you are the slightest bit crafty.

Cheers!

Makeup Clean Out

Spring is here and it is time to clean out my makeup. I am going all out and throwing all kinds of stuff away. 

First off it has to pass the smell test. If anything smells off or bad out it goes. 

If it is broken and I am not liking it enough to try the rubbing alcohol repair on it, buh bye!

Next I am getting rid of all those colour mistakes. We all have bought a colour a  sales girl talked us into that we later regretted. Bye bye Felecia!

With what is left I am going to remove all my eyeshadows, blushes, pan glosses, etc from their compacts and put them into larger blank palettes. I did a Facebook post about it here:

Now I should have a better and less cluttered makeup shelf. Wish me luck because I have a feeling this is going to take all weekend!
