Small Target Haul!

A quick trip to Target turned into 2 hours spent perusing the makeup and skin care isles.  I had a few things on my list but of course I ended up with more than I intended.

The first item I purchased was Rimmel's Match Perfection foundation in 101 - Classic Ivory.  This is in fact my very first liquid foundation.  Since I have freckles (like all over my face, not just here and there) I've always been hesitant to try a liquid foundation, afraid that it would awkwardly cover my freckles.  I've always used powder foundation though in the summer I did try BB cream which worked nicely, the brand I purchased was just a bit oily though.  I've heard good reviews about this foundation though so we shall see.  I intend to apply it with a Beauty Blender sponge for a natural look.  A review shall follow.

 The next product I purchased was NYC's Sunny Bronzer.  After using up all of my NYX Matte Bronzer, I was in need of a new one, however I was unable to find it anywhere!  But while I was looking through Target I saw this and it seems to be a YouTube/Beauty Blogger cult item so I thought I'd give it a try.  It is a matte bronzer which is what I needed.  I really only use bronzer to contour so hopefully this does the trick.

The next two products are lip products.  It seems that makeup at Target is always cheaper than at drugstores or at Ulta so therefore I justify buying more than I need.  The first lip product I got was the Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in Striking.  I chose this red shade because I only have one other red lipstick, which I adore, but this one looked promising - it's a blue toned red which suits my skin tone best, plus it's matte which I love in a red lip! (The photo below isn't that great but it gives an idea of the textures)

The next lip product I purchased was the L'Oreal Colour Riche Caress Aqua Lacquer Lip Stain in Infinite Fuschia.  That is quite a mouthful.  This is a nice deeper fuschia color, perfect for winter (it is darker on the lips than it looks swatched on my hand I swear).  On the lips, it feels glossy upon application but it definitely stains - I swatched it and wiped it off with a wet paper towel and it's still on my hand.

I also purchased army green knee-high socks with little ruffles at the top to wear peeking out of my boots and then I bought a new toothbrush and toothpaste.  Quite exciting.

Well that's it for today.  Hope you all have a lovely day/evening.  I will probably post some reviews of these products shortly.

Merci beaucoup!

camping

Every year for as long as I can remember, my family has gone camping for the 4th of July.  This year, the site we normally stay at was booked for the 4th so we decided to camp the weekend before.  We go with my mom's side of the family and there usually ends up being anywhere from 30-40 people.  Now when I say camping, I mean camping.  We pitch tents in the woods and have campfires and swim in ravines and cricks.  Camping has always been one of those things that I've always looked forward to.  There's always the annual camping soccer, softball, and volleyball games, the hike up to the ravine, catching fish in the crick.  Anyway, I have been MIA for a couple of days, but like I said, I was camping.  I did however take lots of pictures whilst out in the wilderness so I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorites. Enjoy.
