Allez Target!

So I made a little stop a Target tonight that turned into a longer stop. As always. That store seriously sucks me in. You have a list (cereal). You head straight for that department. And all of a sudden, you find yourself stopped by many, many, things along the way.


For example, handbags. If you didn't know, Hayden Harnett has done a line of handbags for Target, in stores now. My local Target didn't have the normal amount of merchandise when the line was released, so I've been checking back periodically. I managed to snag the canvas and black hobos a couple weeks ago.

Tonight, I randomly spotted the black studded clutch and double-flap bag in brown (no longer available online, black is still there). Yoink! Totally been looking for these. (I don't have much hope I'll spot the umbrella, but then I didn't really look in that section. Doh!) I heart Hayden Harnett. I have a couple of their "real" bags and I luv 'em.

So that was score #1. Score #2 happened in the makeup section. Spying a new line, JK by Jemma Kidd, on an endcap, I paused. Her line seemed pretty cool. I snagged 2 eyeshadows in Vintage and Editor, and the Lip ID Color-Adapt lipgloss. The latter is a clear gloss that you put on and it adapts to your lip tone and changes color based on that. Fun!

The reviews seem good so I'm hoping it'll be worth it. And by worth it I mean, these producs aren't drugstore brand cheap. After JK, I moved onto Pixie. Standing there, I felt like I was standing in a Sephora. The product setup and price, it's not too different from the mecca of beauty products we know so well. But in a Target. We'll see. Hopefully if these lines do well, they'll stick around and I won't have to treck out to my nearest Sephora. So, Pixie. I really like this line so far. I only got a lipgloss, but a lot of the other products were very appealing. I got the Lip Blush in Faeire. I was looking for a product similar to Stila's Lip Glaze in Banana. I may have found it! I had the Stila gloss with me, so I held them up for comparison and might have found a match. Testing all products tomorrow!

Makeup Update 1/27:

Eyeshadows: Luv. Only used Vintage, but color and quality good. It's comparable to Stila's Kitten or Sun, which I love. A nice neutral with some shimmer that makes your eyes pop.

Adapt Lip Gloss: So fun. I put it on and my lips turned a subtle bubble gum pink color. I gave it to a couple co-workers and they each got different colors. After a little while it doesn't feel like you have any on, but looking in the mirror, I still had a gloss and color but lips didn't feel tacky. The color seems to stain your lips a bit so you don't need to reapply often. I added Rosebud Salve on top to keep moisture and shine.

Pixie Lip Gloss: Very nice. Like I said, the color is similar to Stila's banana, a slightly shimmery champagne color. A very nice neutral. Texture is not too tacky, where the Stila is a bit more so. There is also a tropical scent to it that was suprisingly welcome.

Overall, I give the makeup 2 thumbs up, 10 out of 10, 5 stars out of 5. Can't wait to try the other products. Go get some!
