Target Cosmetics...

First of all I think I'm Targets #1 customer. My husband gets so frustrated with me when I say I'm heading to Target real quick....yeah right! I come home 2 hours later. Today during lunch I had to run over to Target to pick up a few things. I only made it to the cosmetic area and after what only seemed a few minutes a whole hour went by and I had to head back to the office...bummer! But I was happy that I was able to leave with a few little goodies!

1. Loreal Visible Lift - I love this cause it has a built in foundation brush and has an SPF 17. Let's face it I'm getting older so anything with a good SPF is #1 in my books.

2. Elf Blush, Elf Concealer and Elf Foundation Brush - Anything that cost $1-$3 is going on the #1 list. The Elf Blush was $3. I've used several of the Elf blushes before and they've been good so far. Granted it's not MAC but for $3 I'll take it! The concealer was $1! Hello! I've never used their concealers before but heck for $1....you get the idea. The same with the foundation brush which was only $3. Now I know I just got the Loreal foundation with the built in brush but it's always good to have another one handy.

3. NYC Cheek Glow in Riverside Rose - Now I bought this for no specific reason other then it was on clearance for $1.37. I tried it on my hand when I got back into the office and it's not very vibrant. But who knows it may work out for me when I may need it.

What's your favorite drug store or Target cosmetic?

Winged Out Eyeliner...



Eyeliner has been a staple in my personal makeup kit. My favorite style is the winged out eyeliner look. My eyes have a more round shape and the winged out look gives me more of a cat eye shape that I love! Of course no one wears the winged out look more better then Angelina Jolie. She's infamous for that winged out eyeliner that shapes her round eyes.


My ultimare favorite is the Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner. For drug store brand this is a mega winner in my books! It comes in a little pot and includes an eyeliner brush. A little can go a long way and it never smurdges and lasts all day! Love Love Love!!



I found this neat tip from MAC Cosmetic artist Fatima T on how to apply your eyeliner for that winged out look. Fatima suggests start with your wing first then start your line in your eyelid and connect the lines. And too make sure to keep your eye open when trying to create this style or else your wing can end up somewhere else if you have your eyes closed. GENIUS! I totally did this and Viola! It worked! Below is Fatima T's tutorial courtesy of YouTube...




I tried the this tip from Fatima and it sure did work...of course it did!! Thanks Fatima! Below is a glorious picture of my eye...
