I do not claim to be any sort of beauty guru or make-up artist. I oftentimes wonder if I were to get a makeover, what would a professional do with me? It would probably involve a lot less black eyeliner, which I would refuse to give up.
I consider myself a thrifty babe... I try to be as low maintenance as possible: I do my own nails, I dye my own hair, maintain my own eyebrows, etc. I do not go in for haircuts too often. And I definitely do not frequent the beauty counters of department stores. My ONE and ONLY beauty splurge price-wise is my Shiseido pressed powder and concealer stick. Other than that, I am a drugstore kinda gal.
Target is my go-to stop for nailpolish, make-up remover, moisturizer, etc. Stuff n Things this week involves some favorite and recent Target finds that can still be found there!
E.L.F. (eyes. lips. face.) is a line that I am slowly but surely finding myself buying products from! Everything is so inexpensive ($12 or less! most things are $3-5) and it is good quality stuff! I challenge you ladies who DO frequent the expensive cosmetic counters to maybe try a few things from the e.l.f. line!
Here is what I have gotten so far:
The lip stain ($3) is awesome and goes on liquidy and dries in a velvety matte finish that you can gloss over or keep as is! It doesn't crust up on your lips or dry them out. The cream Eyeliner ($3) is amazing! Black as kohl and silky smooth, no-smudgy finish. I wish it came with a better brush though.
The tinted moisturizer with SPF ($3) is awesome!! I have been using it almost every day and I love it. SPF and moisturizer is so so so very important. The blotting sheets are always good to have for those unwanted shiney moments ($1).
Contouring blush and bronzer combo ($3) is a lovely shade combination and I think I am learning how to use blushes better! I use a lot of SPF on my face, especially in the summer, so bronzer is a must for having a summery glow without the skin damage.
The Eyeshadow Palette ($8) is amazing!!! I got a neutrals one because I love a neutral eye, a little bit of brightness and an option for a smokey, cat-eye look. This came with 2 creamy shadows and a bunch of other nice pigments, a brush and a pencil liner. I LOVE the added instructions... I could definitely use some make-up lessons.
My last Target thing is the one and only, traditional pink plastic CABOODLE!
I don't care who you are, if you are a girl, you NEED one of these!
I need to get a meat tenderizer so I can make Ceasar Salad-inspired spaghetti . There is something perfect about pesto in the summertime. Basil tastes like summer to me!
Anyways... Hope you all have a great day!

I'm pretty sure they don't sell that brand here, so sad because I am too a cheap beauty lover. I only get a haircut like twice a year :-D awful!
