Target Beauty Bag

I just wanted to do a quick post on the Target Beauty Bag that was available for a certain number of people back in August (for free!!!). At the time I hurried to the site and hoped that I was one of the lucky ones to get one! Finally, I got mine in the mail today! This is the second time this year that they've done the free Target beauty bag, so I'm crossing my fingers they will continue to have them!

Here's what was inside...

There's three different shampoo & conditioner samples, a mini Burt's Bees Radiance Day Lotion, L'oreal Youth Code cream, and Pond's wet cleansing towlettes. I was hoping it would have makeup samples (like a lipgloss or mascara or something!) but I'm definitely not complaining--I love getting samples and especially love when they're free! I'm especially looking forward to trying the Pond's towlettes!
In addition to the beauty samples, there is a little coupon booklet with "over $20" in savings. There's savings like: $1 off Sonia Kashu, $1 off Burt's Bees, $1 Sally Hansen, and much, much more!

I was really excited about the little makeup bag, it's really cute!!

I'm actually in need of a new little makeup bag to throw in my purse since the zipper on my current one broke. This one is perfect! It can fit lipstick, powder, lipgloss, eyeliner, etc.


When the time comes for the next free Target Beauty Sample Bag signup, make sure to check http://samples.target.com
I'll try to remember to do a post when I hear about the next time they have it!!

Have any of you gotten a Target beauty bag before?? What do you think of the samples?!

    I just used the Burt's Bees moisturizer today and I didn't really like it... but I do love the little makeup bag, too :)

Bronze Eyeshadow Swatches: Mac Tempting, Urban Decay Smog, Nars Kalahari, & Inglot

Image
If I had to choose a favorite eyeshadow color to use, my favorite would most definitely be a shimmery bronzey brown. Call me boring when there are so many vibrant colors to choose from, but I can't help it! I absolutely love a shimmery chocolate smokey eye more than anything else. I think brown is flattering on all eye colors and it can be made subtle enough for daytime or dramatic for evening. I just hit pan on two bronze colors in my eyeshadow collection so I thought I'd do some comparison swatches for you before I finish them up! Inglot 409 on the left, Nars Kalahari on the top, Urban Decay Smog in the middle and Mac Tempting (with the huge bit of pan showing!) on the right! Comparison swatches! L-R Inglot 409, Urban Decay Smog, Mac Tempting, Nars Kalahari From Left to right: Inglot 409 pearl: This bronze has a bit more red warmth to it, especially compared to Urban Decay Smog and is a bit darker--though I do think it's similar on the lid. Both 409 and

Nars Galapagos Swatches and Thoughts

Image
Hello!! Sorry for the short absence, I haven't had much free time this past week because of end of the year stuff and i'm so happy and excited to say that I graduated from college last Thursday! Yay!! Back to makeup, here's the beautiful Nars Galapagos that I treated myself to last week. I am absolutely in love... Nars describes it as:  "bitter chocolate infused with gold" These pictures don't do the color justice at all! It's the most beautiful brown! You can sort of see the golden shimmer in the pictures, but it's even prettier in person. The color is a gorgeous warm brown with gold shimmer. The pigmentation is excellent. It is not as smooth as my nars mekong (which is ridiculously buttery), but it is still incredibly soft, easily blendable, and pigmented. One thing that I was initially worried about with Galapagos was if the gold shimmer would actually show up on the eyes. It definitely does if you apply it correctly: packing it on with a shader b

Estee Lauder Pure Color Blush: Lover's Blush

Image
Estee Lauder has certainly been making a comeback in the makeup world ever since makeup artist Tom Pecheux became the creative genius behind Estee Lauder's pure color lines. They have come out with a number of exciting products--more pigmented eyeshadows, new lipsticks, colored mascaras, etc. Last year, Estee Lauder's blush line was completely revamped into the Pure Color Blush line we know now. Their blushes are definitely giving blush frontrunners like Nars, Mac, & Illamasqua a run for their money! I've been using the shade "Lover's Blush" a lot recently. They're housed in a large gold compact and contain a mini brush for touchups. I personally don't like when companies include mini brushes--I usually find the quality to be quite useless and it just takes up space in the compact. I've just kept mine in there unused. The blush size is quite generous, you get .25oz. For the exact same price of $28, you only get .16oz in a Nars blush. Somet
