Haul: Makeup + Shoes



I definitely celebrated my Good Friday in style by picking up a few things from Target.


I have heard great things about the Rimmel Wake Me Up and Match Perfection lines of foundations and concealers. Unfortunately I don't think we get the Wake Me Up line here in the States but I did notice Target had the Match Perfection foundation and concealer. I wanted to get a new concealer so I picked up one in 430 Medium. It is supposed to be a two-in-one concealer and highlighter.

I also got Mayebelline's Cover Stick in yellow. It is supposed to be a corrector and yellow is meant to counteract any dark circles or brown-ish blemishes. I have been loving using the green corrector that I had picked up earlier and wanted to give this a try as well.

As much as I love my Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner, sometimes it can be a little too thick so I wanted to get a liner that I can use for a casual cat eye look. I think Maybelline has some of the best liners in the drugstore market so I got the Master Precise by Eyestudio Ink Pen Eyeliner in Black.

And it was time for me to replenish my mascara and I decided to stray from my current favorite The Falsies and get The Rocket from Maybelline.



Next I headed to the hosiery section where I picked up two essentials. One is the Assets shaping pantyhose that is great for smoothing out panty lines and love handles/muffin tops for tighter dresses or pencil skirts. My friend Divya recommended these so I am excited to try them out. I also got Sheer Support by Hanes which is a sheer skin toned pantyhose. I read a great tip about how you can wear skin toned stockings under skirts to even out the tone on your legs AND you don't have to worry about any hair stubble either.


Last but not least I picked up two pairs of shoes (Target was having a BOGO 50% off thing). The first is a pair of black faux patent leather peep toe pumps. I really wanted to get something for work with a medium heel and my peep toe pumps have definitely seen better days so I decided to replace them. I am not the biggest fan of Target shoes but I have to say they have pleasantly surprised me lately. These look really cute on and are pretty comfortable. 

For my second pair I got these brown, almost bronzy sandals with a really cute gold detail on the front and on the straps. It also has a snakeskin print on the back strap. While I usually find snakeskin to be too tacky, I actually really liked these sandals. They had a few options in this style, there were some all silver ones, some black and gold ones and a nautical one as well. Very cute!


Until next time,

XX!
