“Recent” Target Haul Review

Well, I have really been trying not to buy new makeup…easier said than done!  I bought all this stuff waaaay back in February and have been using most of it ever since.

Here is a list of what I got (with links):

Essence matte sun club bronzers This bronzer smells like summer and sunshine that is a plus.  That is kinda where my love of it ends. It is just ok.  I found that it tends to be a bit on the orange side rather than bronze.  It works fine for adding color to my face, but it is definitely not my go to bronzer.

Garnier Clean + Nourishing Cleansing Oil For Dry Skin – 4.2 fl oz So, what can I say about this cleanser to convey how much I LOVE it!  I wear waterproof mascara everyday and on the days that I work I always wear waterproof eyeliner.  This cleanser takes off my waterproof makeup perfectly and makes my face feel moisturized at the same time. 

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Daily Anti-Acne BB Cream – Light/Medium (2 oz)  I LOVE this one too! I recently wrote an entire post singing the praises of this BB Cream.  

It is hands down my go to every day base.  It is very easy to blend and gives light to medium coverage.  One of my favorite things about it is that as it brightens and evens out the skin it still has a very lightweight feel on the skin.

Neutrogena Pore Refining Daily Cleanser  Despite the fact that I bought this all the way in February, I still haven’t used it yet.  The main reason that I haven’t tried it yet it because we went on vacation to Florida right after I bought it and the bottle warns “Sun burn alert”  Because it has an alpha and beta hydroxyl in it it can increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun.

Even though I haven’t tried it yet…Here is what the product claims…”Pore Refining Daily Cleanser starts working on contact to instantly reduce the look of large pores and improve skin’s tone and texture. Week after week, it continually reduces the appearance of pores for clearer and smoother skin.
This dermatologist-tested alpha and beta hydroxyl formula delivers visible results by removing dead skin from your face while smoothing over rough, uneven patches for improved skin texture. It penetrates to deeply clean pores so they appear smaller and less visible. Skin is instantly smoother and more even toned. Minimize the appearance of pores with continued daily use.”

Olay Regenerist Luminous Overnight Facial Mask Gel Moisturizer, 4.5 oz  This is another major winner!  I LOVE this one too!  I don’t use it every night, maybe two or three times a week, but it leaves my skin feeling so nourished and smooth.  I highly recommend this Olay Overnight Mask!  It is a bit pricy for a drugstore product at $24, but it is totally worth every cent!  It has a nice clean fresh scent that is not too overpowering.  As it says in the name it is a gel not a cream and I really like the way it feels on my skin as well as the way it makes my skin feel.

Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio  I actually bought this for my sister.  I already have this one and I know that I love the Wet N Wild Walking on Egg Shells Palette.  It is a great little eye shadow palette for creating a beautiful eye look. I love these smooth and creamy shadows.  She really likes these shadows as well.

Wet n Wild Color Icon Ombre Blusher  Ok, so here is the thing about this blush…I really really like this product, but NOT as a blush.  When put onto the cheeks it kind of gives an ashy appearance, it isn’t a good look!  But when used as a highlighter  or an eye shadow it is gorgeous!  I love to use it as an eye shadow on a quick 5 minute makeup days!

Of course, I paid for all of this stuff myself.  I wish that someone else had bought it for me, that would be nice😉

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 😉

Drugstore Haul | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Here is what I got:

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.

Maybelline Fit Me lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

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!

 

YES to Grapefruit facial wipes | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comI 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.

Vanilla-Mint eos | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comI 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!

Drugstore Haul

Drugstore Haul | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comIf you know me in real life, you know that if I am not at home, church, or at my kid’s school, most likely you can find me at Target!  I love that place!  They take all of my coupons, plus have cartwheel and mobile coupons. So, that being said, that is where I got all of these things.

I love Pantene!  It is my all time favorite shampoo/conditioner brand!  Even when I have used other higher end brand hair care I always end up coming back to Pantene.  I am interested to try out this new Ultimate 10 BB Creme Conditioner  and the Nature Fusion Moisturizing Shampoo with Melon Essence.

I have been enjoying the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation and wanted to try out the Fit Me Concealer.  Of course, I also had a coupon.

I love the YES to Grapefruit Daily Facial Scrub, so I am wondering if these facial wipes will be good.

I love Maybelline mascaras, and have heard so many great things about the Lash Sensational Mascara but I have never tried it.  I had a $2 off coupon, so I figured I would buy it and give it a try to see if it lives up to the recommendations.

Let’s face it, the EOS lip balm packaging is super cute!  I have tried the Strawberry one, and I have to admit I was less than impressed by it.  I was told that the vanilla mint one is different and better than the others.  So, I am giving this EOS Visibly Soft Vanilla Mint Lip Balm a try.

I still had some Garnier coupons left and decided to give The Soothing Remover Cleansing Towelettes for Sensitive Skin wipes a try.

I had a coupon for the Herbal Essences Happy Go Lather Body Wash and decided to give it a try.  It smells delightful.
