TARGET Makes Holiday Gifting Beautiful!

Posted on October 28, 2012 by Brooke

Whether you want to pick up a few holiday inspired items for yourself, or need to get some shopping done, Target is the go-to place for pretty much anything. Food, clothing, collaborations with amazing designers… AWESOME BEAUTY BUYS…

I tend to want to be a one-stop-shopper for the holidays, and at Target I can basically take care of my whole list (men, women, children, pets) and grocery shop. It’s less stress and there is a Starbucks in mine.. which can basically cure anything.

Here are a few of my favorite items available at Target for this years Holiday season:

Sonia Kashuk® Limited Edition 6-pc. Holiday Brush Set $24.99

Taylor Swift 3-pc. Fragrance Gift Set $29.99 Justin Bieber 3-pc. Fragrance Gift Set $29.99

CHI Air Straight Iron in Purple and Pink $99.99 each

Pixi Early Bird Kit $34 Pixi Lid Last Shadow Pen Duo $12

What are your favorite stores to shop in for Holiday gifts? Is one stop shopping best or would you rather go to a few different places to see what is out there?

Target Beauty Bag for Fall 2012

Posted on October 26, 2012 by Brooke

In my seemingly infinite sickness I thought I’d pop in and share the latest (and maybe last?!) Target Beauty Bag!

First, I’m sure you’re wondering, how do you get a FREE Target Beauty Bag? What you used to do, was go to the Target Style Facebook Page, click like, and there would be an area on there where you could enter your info for a bag. Yes, they sold out quickly.

With this last bag, which was for Fall 2012, there were rumors that it would be the last. Actually, not really rumors, since the Target Style Facebook Page was the one that said it on October 2.

Unfortunately, I have no idea why they’re ending this. It was such a fun little freebie and a great way to try out new beauty products and get coupons. I do hope they bring it back and if I hear anything I’ll share the news with you!

On to the bag!

This year the makeup bag is LEOPARD PRINT. And it’s the NICE, chic looking leopard print too… not the weird looking stuff. It’s plastic but the way the material is formed it almost looks like it would feel furry. I am IN LOVE with this bag more than any other freebie makeup bag ever.

The inside is just black and houses some fun samples from Pixi, L’Oreal, Jergens, Fekkai, and Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy. In addition to the samples there is also a Target Coupon Book with coupons for full sizes of the included sample items as well as products from Pantene, Revlon, Aveeno, Maybelline, Cover Girl, Olay, and Nivea.

Have you ever picked up one of the Target Beauty Bags? What do you think of them?

Target Beauty Bag for Spring 2012

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Brooke

This is just sort of a random “In case you wondered what was in there” post. This year, Target did something a little different with their Beauty Bag Freebie. You had to have made a qualifying beauty purchase to sign up, random terms and conditions… etc. So, that was good and bad. Good because they didn’t run out of stock in a heartbeat… bad because you had to make a specific purchase at Target to qualify.

However. The Target Style Facebook Page had an app where you could sign up and receive the bag and it’s contents without purchase! YAY! So I did and I gots.

Here’s what was inside:

I flipping LOVE the little bag. Perfectly sized, vibrant, and fun.

Loved the contents, I took it all on vacation with me (except the conditioner, because it had no shampoo.. again, wtf… Target, Birchbox, Glam… come on now.)
