target : a black hole for money

Why is it that when I go to target, I can never leave spending less than $20... never.

Today I went to go buy dog pads and ended up getting TWO new lipsticks.... but they were both on clearance ;)

Jemma Kidd Sheer Vanity Lipstick in Pret A Porter was $16 .... now $8


This is def a very sheer lipstick but I LOVE IT, It gives a really nice sheer peachy coral gloss w/o the stickiness of your regular lip gloss. And I am a BIG, BIG, sucker for packaging and I love the fun design of this lipstick..not your regular black cheap looking . After having spazzed out and bought a whole bunch of drug store lipsticks (Revlon, Mabyelline, etc) I have to say there IS a big difference in feel and quality of drug store makeup and brand name makeup. This is def smooth to glide on and doesn't dry or chap my lips like most of the drug stores one do (even Mac lipsticks tend to be dry...not a fan anymore) . This brand is also made in Italy if you care.

NP Set in Boston $16 .... now $5


This color def looks on the red side, but in person its much more a light coral. This is my 2nd NP set and I LOVE this brand of lipstick (if it wasn't so expensive ) and the color options are limited. But this one was on clearance so I gave it a try and wow, I love this color! I"m too lazy to swatch and try it on myself ..so here's pictures I stole from another blog (she put on a lot to show the color, but with one layer it looks perfect). Also NP set has one of the smoothest and most moisturizing lipstick I have...even more than Chanel (Chanel has greater staying power though).

  1. The NP Set lipstick looks pretty. I can't believe they retail for more than MAC lipsticks! Craziness. The F21 dress looks nice - I like how you belted it =)
