March Target Beauty Box is here!!

This box is SOLD OUT!

I received my March Beauty Box from Target earlier this month! Great stuff once again! I paid $7.00 shipped for this box and inside is a $3.00 off $15.00 beauty purchase so in the end this box works out to be only $5.00!! Super steal for all the great product samples inside!! If you want to get one next month I suggest you act fast because most of the time they do sell out.

Inside this months box we have.....

Skinfix Foaming Oil Cleanser

I love oils and use coconut oil as a moisturizer quite often so the name of this cleanser has me excited. The formula is AMAZING. It feels silky and not oily at all. It left my face feeling clean but not dry like most cleansers do. My face felt really smooth and soft. I am definitely buying this in full size. It is $14.99 for full size but right now there is a coupon in the weekly Target Ad ( or mobile) for a $5 Target gift card with a $20 beauty purchase so that will lower the price some. 

Dove Dry Shampoo

I do not really do dry shampoos so this goes in my my hoard of stuff to be given away in gift baskets!

Jergens Wet Moisturizer

Alright, this stuff has me laughing. So it is called Natural Glow Wet Skin Moisturizer. Under the title it says "Creates gradual subtle color" I didn't read that when I hastily applied it to my wet legs and arms. Fast forward a couple days. I am sitting in my backyard thinking, why are the tops of my feet so dirty???? Granted, I do live on a mini-ranch and have a bunch of animals and dirt but still, something seemed off. Then I noticed my legs looked dirty and streaky. DING! My brain connected it all and I went back and read the sample bottle. First off, NOTHING gradual or subtle about it. My legs are a good four shades darker than my normal skin tone. I do have to say, had I known it would develop so quickly I would have taken care to apply it evenly and I would have been happy with the color. I am going to try this properly and one thing I can say is that it is a great formula and smells NOTHING like most self tanners. It also goes on clear so you do not have to worry about it getting all over the place. Overall I probably wont buy this because I rarely use self tanners but if I needed one I would buy this.

Soapbox Shampoo and Conditioner

I have not had a chance to try this yet!

Neutrogena Lip Gloss

Homie don't do lipgloss so this is also going into my hoard.

MISSHA Time Revolution treatment

I had to go on the website and read what exactly this was. It says it is "the first essence" which seems like it is a first step product. I have been using it and so far it seems nice. I will continue until the sample is gone and if I see the results that it claims it will achieve I would buy it in full size.

February Target Beauty Box Product Reviews!!

I thought it would be informative to do an individual review on the products that were in last months Target Beauty Box. The point of most of these sample boxes is for you to try the product and hopefully love it and buy the full size. Normally I will be reviewing the products in the same month that the box came out but I got my February box late. I did not try the tanning towelette that was in the box yet. Just a little disclaimer here, some of the products I did not love, but I did love trying them and used them all up. I think these sample boxes are a great way to try products and be introduced to brands you may never heard of. So even if I get a box of samples that I end up not liking I still had fun trying them and will buy next months box!

First up is this face wash by Soap & Glory . I was really excited to try this. It claims to clean, smooth and purify your face. I used the whole sample bottle. It did make my face feel smooth and very clean. I liked it and would probably buy it in full size. At $8.79 for an 11.8 oz bottle it is a pretty good deal.

Next is this Well People mascara. I personally did not like this mascara. It is fine for the bottom lashes but was too dry of a formula to really get a good coat on the top lashes.

Now onto this Raw Sugar body wash. I may have been most excited about this because the raw coconut and mango formula. Well it smells like NOTHING. No scent whatsoever so I assuming that the raw coconut and mango are additives in the body wash itself and not scent. So that was disappointing but it did the job that a body wash should do. I personally would not buy it in full size.

I walked past these in full size at Target a few times and was intrigued so I was happy to see them in my box. First impression upon pouring them into my hand was that they were so thin and liquidy. I expected them to be really thick and have a luxurious feel. I washed with both the shampoo and conditioner but wasn't impressed with how my hair felt when it was wet. I let it air dry and as it dried I started to see good results. My hair felt smoother, looked shiner and felt healthier. I should not have judged the consistency of the formula because it did exactly what it claimed to do. I will definitely buy these in full size especially because of the coupons that I have!  

The three pack of Loreal masks were great. Each one made my face feel better and were fun to use. I love masks but enjoy buying the single use packets for the variety. I would probably buy the detox and brighten mask in the full size because I liked that one the best.

Ok, this Masque bar hydrating peel off mask........................ Oh dear. Ouch! It was a clear mask. The formula is pretty thick, when I had it on I got a variety of comments from my younger kids, my three year old stared at me and said "YUCK", repeatedly and my 10 year old said I looked like I was really sweaty. Comments aside, I like the scent, formula and everything about this mask until it came time to remove it. I think that my entire face is hairless now!! It hurt to remove it how stuck it was to my skin. My face felt really red and tender for about 5 minutes after using it. I obviously would not try this mask again.

February Target Beauty Box

I just received my FIRST Target Beauty Box and I am blown away at how awesome it is!!! I am not new to beauty boxes, I have tried Birchbox and Ipsy numerous times over the years, but each time I get sick of the type of samples or products they send so I end up cancelling my subscription. What I like about this Target Beauty Box is that it is not a subscription box. They are sold on Target.com monthly and you can see what you are getting before you order. They are normally $10 but mid month the price reduces to $7, IF they do not sell out which I have heard happens. This box is also a free shipping item!!! I paid $7 for mine and it took about a week and a half to arrive.

 The packaging is similar to Birchbox, inside was a card giving a little description of each product and a coupon for $3 off your beauty purchase of $15 or more at Target. This box was already a steal but when you add in the coupon it makes it a crazy good deal. All the sample products are available in full size on the Target website ( I am not sure if all are available in store) .

 The samples in this box were a self tanning towelette, a mini shampoo and conditioner, 3 pack of masks, another mask, face wash, body, wash and a mascara. All of these except the tanning towelette are products I will use and am excited to try. I have been eyeballing the Schwarzkopf shampoo and conditioner at Target but was waiting for a deal or coupon to try it. I will do a more in depth blog post about the samples as I try them. I wanted to get this post up quickly so you all could have a chance to see what was in this box and order yours! Don't wait because they may sell out! $7 with free shipping on the Target website!!

October Ipsy Bag

I got my Ipsy bag a few days ago! This is my second bag since signing back up and I have to say............ I LOVE IT! If you do not know what Ipsy is, let me tell you!

Ipsy is a beauty based monthly subscription program. Each month you will be sent a makeup bag containing 4-5 beauty related products. These products will be sample size, deluxe sample size or full size! Subscriptions cost $10 per month or $110 annually. Ipsy was started by the You Tube sensation Michelle Phan originally under the name Glam Bag but later changed the company name to Ipsy which is a form of a Latin word meaning sense of self. Once you get your glam bag you can review products on the Ipsy website and earn points that are redeemable for products. You can also earn points by referring friends! If you would like to know more about Ipsy you can do so here. If you would like to sign up for Ipsy check and see if any of your friends have a referral link or feel free to use mine! To sign up using my referral link click here. One thing that I dislike about Ipsy compared to Birchbox is that you can not purchase the full size version of the products that come in your glam bag on their website. You have to quick through their website to the product website but Ipsy does offer a discount code good on full size versions of your samples.

First thing I noticed is another gold bag. I would have preferred something a bit more Fall or themed towards the month but whatever. I save mine to use as gift bags anyway.

Delectable Hand Cream

This ultra nourishing hand cream is miracle material. Packed full of goodness with shea butter, coconut and aloe vera, the cream's rich but never greasy formula nourishes and rejuvenates hands and cuticles. Enjoy the super smooth, soft and perfectly pretty results.

• Quick absorbing
• Softens & conditions
• All natural ingredients: Paraben & gluten-free

I loved this hand cream. I am a sucker for anything coconut and the scent of this cream is Coconut and Cream! Yummmmmm! It is a very nice hand cream that absorbs into the skin quickly. The sample size is 2 oz. which is quite large for a sample size product!

Pur~lisse BB Cream 

This beauty balm glides on like tinted moisturizer and has all the age-defying, coverage, sunscreen benefits of a foundation and BB cream! It’s formula will soothe your skin while locking in moisture to create a gorgeous, glowing complexion. Featuring pur~lisse’s exclusive asian herb extracts complex, Chamomile & Artemisia soothes the skin while sugar maple improves skin’s appearance and retains moisture to create a gorgeous & glowing complexion.

I liked this BB Cream. It had nice coverage and is good for quick, daily wear. I liked the way it felt on my skin. A lot of BB creams tend to feel heavy or thick to me but this one felt quite light and absorbed into my skin nicely.

Dr. Brandt Skincare - microdermabrasion

dr. brandt microdermabrasion is a revolutionary formula designed to mimic the transformative brightening, smoothing effects of the popular in-office microdermabrasion treatment, at home.

I have used this once so far and liked the immediate feeling of my skin. As with any new product your skin goes through an adjustment phase. For me my skin has gotten a lot more oily to compensate for the heavy exfoliation that comes with this product. I will keep up using it once a week and see how my skin looks!

Dose of Colors Nail Polish

DOSE® Color Pills are remedies for the blues, blacks, reds, & everything in between. Conceived with a tongue in cheek approach to color arousing whimsy via spot-on sized doses of saturated color. No product overload, no commitment, no insurance needed. Warning: mind blowingly addictive.

This color was formulated exclusively for Ipsy. I did not know Dose of Colors even made nail polish so this was a nice surprise. I love nail polish and this was a gorgeous color and formula. I will have a manicure picture up on my Instagram soon!

the balm cosmetics - Meet Matte Hughes

theBalm introduces a truly loyal long-lasting liquid lipstick—Meet Matt(e) Hughes. This long-wearing formula has a comfortable matte finish with no commitment issues. This matte vanilla mint liquid lipstick is stuck on you without feeling clingy!

OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I love the balm! They are an awesome company and I was so happy that I got this in my bag!! I got the shade Committed and it is a pinky-nude. If you know me, Nudes are my thing. This product honestly, by far, like leaps and bounds and miles and....you get the picture, has the BEST scent that I have ever smelled on a liquid to matte lipstick. It is a minty vanilla scent which I love! The actually formula was really opaque and applied well. It stayed fairly tacky but did end up drying down after a few hours. I wore this comfortably and it looked beautiful for over 6 hours. I just posted a lipswatch on my Instagram so check it out in action there! ConfessionsOfaGlitterholic

Lorac Megapro 2

When the rumors and sneak peak pictures started floating around the internet about the possibility of a Lorac Mega Pro 2 I started freaking out. Over the last year my love of neutrals has grown immensely. So has my love for Lorac Pro eye shadow palettes. They are freaking AMAZING. I love the colors, formulas, textures and how easy they are to work with. I was not that into neutrals or Lorac when the original Mega Pro palette came out so I missed that one. Months later after acquiring both the Pro Palettes I started REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY getting sad that I missed on the Mega Pro. Lucky for me I have quite a few makeup addict friends and one of them was super kind and sold me her brand new one for less than retail price! I was so jazzed. Between the pro palettes, summer palettes and the Unzipped palettes I have been in neutral Heaven!

The Mega Pro 2 is an Ulta exclusive. I had heard horror stories about the original Mega Pro and it's release as a Sephora exclusive. Apparently they did not make or stock enough and it sold out within minutes. People were going nuts. Ulta was scheduled to have the Mega Pro 2 stock on October 4th. I called the Ulta customer service line on the 3rd to ask what time and what time zone would the palette be stocking. I was informed it would be available at midnight central time zone which was 10pm on the 3rd for me in California. I was sitting at my computer ready to click and check out. I was able to purchase it easily, checked out quickly and was quite pleased with my ninja buying skills. I guess I did not have to be such an eager beaver because here we are on the 12th and the Mega Pro 2 is still in stock online at Ulta! I am happy because hopefully everyone who wanted this palette will have a chance to get it!

I got my palette 6 days later and am freaking overjoyed at the beauty of this palette. I am pretty sure it is my favorite out of all the Lorac palettes and is my second favorite palette of all time ( Sugarpill Burning Heart palette will forever be my favorite) I have done quite a few looks so far which I will be posting soon. I also plan on swatching the whole palette and doing some comparison swatches for colors that appear similar from all the other Lorac Pro Palettes.

Face details are
NYX Pore Filler Face Primer
Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation in Light Beige
the Balm Mart LouManizer highligher.
MAC Honey Jasmine blush
MAC Smoked Purple lipstick
Colourpop Tootsi lippie stix

I did this look using:
Lorac Eye Primer
NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk
Forest on the lid
Saddle and Tangerine in the Crease
Melon, Burlap and Tawney to blend
Porcelain as a highlight and to set underneath my eyes
Jordana Fabuliner liquid liner
elf gel liner on the tightline
Lorac Multiplex 3D Lashes mascara
