Drugstore Haul Review
Good Buy or Goodbye?!
If you know me, you know that I love Target! They take all of my paper and mobile coupons, plus they have cartwheel.
Back in October, I bought all of these things at Target and posted a Target Mini Makeup Haul. Since then, I have had time to use some of the products for a while now, and I am ready to give a review on them.
Once again I am going to use the simple “Good Buy” or “Goodbye” rating 😉
Here is what I got:
- Ultimate 10 BB Creme Conditioner
- Nature Fusion Moisturizing Shampoo with Melon Essence
- Fit Me Concealer
- YES to Grapefruit facial wipes
- Lash Sensational Mascara
- EOS Visibly Soft Vanilla Mint Lip Balm
- The Soothing Remover Cleansing Towelettes for Sensitive Skin
- Herbal Essences Happy Go Lather Body Wash
Ultimate 10 BB Creme Conditioner and Nature Fusion Moisturizing Shampoo with Melon Essence. I love Pantene! It is my all time favorite shampoo/conditioner brand! Even when I have used other higher end brands of hair care I always end up coming back to Pantene. I am sad to say though that neither of these specific two worked out for me. I have very straight fine some what oily hair. The BB conditioner left my hair feeling weigh down and the moisturizing shampoo was just too moisturizing and not cleaning enough. Pantene is a good buy, but neither of these two were. So it will be goodbye to both.

I have been enjoying the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation and wanted to try out theFit Me Concealer. Nope, can not figure out what all the hype is about?! I don’t like this concealer at all. Maybe I got a bad tube but it does nothing for me! I don’t really even have dark circles under my eyes, but I still like to try to brighten up my under eye area. I may as well be putting nothing on my face because that is what it looks like. Goodbye!
I love the YES to Grapefruit Daily Facial Scrub, I was hoping these facial wipes would be good as well. I like the way they smell and feel, but unfortunately they stung my face and gave me a bit of a red raised rash. Obviously anything that irritates my skin and causes me pain is a Goodbye!
I say it all the time, I love Maybelline mascaras. I have heard so many great things about the Lash Sensational Mascara but I have never tried it. I figured I would give it a try to see if it lives up to the recommendations. I have to be honest, I have so many other mascaras that I still need to use up before they go bad, that I haven’t even opened this one yet. So…good buy/goodbye? I still don’t know.
I gave the EOS Visibly Soft Vanilla Mint Lip Balm a try. Let’s face it, the EOS lip balm packaging is super cute, but overall that is where it ends! I have tried the Strawberry one, and was less than impressed by it. I was told that the vanilla mint one is different and better than the others. It is definitely better than the strawberry one, but I don’t overly love it. I have used better lip balms that have cost a lot less. Also, I feel like so much of the product gets wasted because of the egg shaped design. After wearing this lip balm my lips don’t feel any more moisturized. At $3 each they are just ok, I have to say this is a Goodbye.
The Soothing Remover Cleansing Towelettes for Sensitive Skin wipes were just ok. They get my face makeup off pretty well. I can get some of my waterproof mascara off, but not much of it at all. If I really want to try to get my mascara off, I end up having to really work at it. The wipes start to dry out before I can get it all off. If I use the wipes too much around my eye area they end up burning my eyes like crazy, so yeah, I’m not into that at all! I have to say Goodbye to these wipes.
I had a coupon for the Herbal Essences Happy Go Lather Body Wash and decided to give it a try. It smells delightful. Nothing overly special about it. It was a good price and it gets me clean without drying out my skin, so I guess it is a good buy.

Have you tried any of these products? Did something that didn’t work for me work out awesome for you or vise versa? Let me know!



One of my favorite things to eat for breakfast is oatmeal! It is a great way to start the day because in just a half a cup of rolled oats there are five grams of fiber! Oat meal also has an appetite regulating hormone called cholecystokinin. Both of these will help you to feel fuller longer. (You can put an entire tablespoon of raw sugar on your bowl of oatmeal for only an additional 45 calories! Or a tablespoon of real maple syrup is only 52 calories!)
Chia seeds are a great source of omega-3s, protein, and fiber. I love to put the seeds into hot water so that they swell up. Then I brew some chai tea and add the “bloomed” seeds to the chai. Does that make it a chia chai? I don’t know if the swollen seeds actually fill your stomach to make you feel less hungry, but I still really love them. They are great in yogurt and smoothies. Just be careful because they can easily get stuck in your teeth, (not pretty, haha!)
Nuts are a great sources of fiber. They digest slowly so you feel fuller longer. My favorite nuts are Almonds! There are so many different types of nuts that just because you don’t like one doesn’t mean that another won’t be your favorite! Just be sure that you are eating raw nuts and not processed or sugar coated ones!
Another food that is high in both water content and fiber is dark leafy vegetables: kale, spinach, Romaine lettuce, broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts. I love to eat salads with all kinds of dark leafy greens. Adding a tablespoon of your favorite oil and vinegar salad dressing will only add between 50-80 additional calories. Stay away from cream based dressings they cause the calories to really add up making your “healthy salad” into a diet destroyer!
One of my favorite things to eat is sushi! While sushi isn’t necessarily the thing that helps me lose weight, one of the things I also love to get when I eat sushi is edamame. Half a cup of edamame has over eight grams of protein but is less than 100 calories. Making it a great way to keep you feeling full!
