This weeks tip is a really simple yet super important tip…

When in doubt blend blend blend it out.

If you are trying to achieve a natural makeup look, one of the biggest beauty mistakes that you can make is not blending enough.  Harsh makeup lines are a dead give away to where your natural beauty ends and your makeup begins.

If you’re thinking to yourself, “Of course I blend?!”  I’m not just talking about contour, eyeshadow, and blush, I mean all of it.  The simple step of blending your eyeliner (especially if you use liner on the lower lash line) will be a game changer for your makeup look!  I have a specific smudging tool, but you can use a q-tip or a small eyeshadow brush.

How about those lips, yup, blending your lipliner will add another level of natural looking beauty.  This simple step will also help your lips to look more natural as your lipstick wears off.  Once again, using a q-tip or even your finger works well if you don’t have a specific smudging tool.

Essence Lipliner $1.49!

Let me know if you try it and what you think!

The Essence of Target

Here is just another reason to love Target…Essence Cosmetics is now being sold at Target!!!

Previously Essence was just sold online and at Ulta and Fred Meyer stores, but now it can also be purchased at Target as well!  The line has so many great items and now it even includes some Target exclusives.  You can check out the full line that is available at Target by clicking HERE.

You can purchase directly online or pick up in-store. Some stores already have it on display now, while other “select stores” across the country should be getting it soon.  I haven’t seen it yet in my local Target, but I am excited for it to arrive.

Everything is so reasonably priced, with eyeshadow and contour palettes less than $10 all the way down to lip and eye liners for just around $2.

Some of my favorite Essence items are their lip liners and lipsticks. A while back I wrote a post featuring their lipliners which if you are interested you can read by clicking HERE.

Essence Now Available at Target | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comI have heard really great things about their matte sun club bronzers and silky touch blushes.  I have also heard that the All About Matt! Fixing Compact Powder is a dupe for the Make Up For Ever HD Pressed Powder. ($4 compared to $36!)   I am already planning to try out those as well as the I Love Extreme Waterproof Mascara.  When I do, I’ll let you know what I think!

I would love to hear what your favorite Essence products are?  What are you looking forward to trying out?  Have you ever tried anything out that I should definitely buy?  Or have you ever tried anything out that I should definitely avoid?  I would love to hear.  Let me know if the comments below!

Essence Lipliner $1.49! | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com
Essence Lipliner $1.49!

At only $1.49 these essence lipliners are a major steal! If you don’t already own one you need this in you life!  They go on smoothly and last hours.  They have 8 different shades to choose from as well as a transparent liner.  My favorite shades are 05 soft berry and 07 cute pink.  Unfortunately, it has a wooden design, so it does need to be sharpened, but at such a low price it is still a great deal.  In my area they are only available at Ulta and Ulta.com, but according to the Essence website they can also be found at Shoppers Drug Mart and Fred Meyer as well.

What does Ulta.com have to say about these lip liners…

Essence Lip Liner glides on smoothly and precisely to ensure perfect lip contours and endless hours of lipstick fun. The wooden lip liner is ideal for smudge-proof and long-lasting lip makeup.

What do you think?  Have you used either of these lipliners?  Do you love them?  What is your favorite go to great deal lipliner?
