Target Summer Beauty Bag Unboxing: What's In

Before I say anything, this is not one of those beauty bags which you have to subscribe to by paying every month and then get worthless samples that you cannot even use (what a rip-off!). I'm not saying all of them are bad but there are quite a few which I find are not worth the money. The Target beauty bag however is a free bag (Yes you heard it right, its totally FREE, no conditions). At the beginning of every season, Target gives away these bags full of generously sized samples in a cute makeup bag to thousands of fans who send in a request. This year they posted a link to it on their Facebook page and they had more than 400, 000 of these bags to give away for free.

I was lucky enough to know about it on time and I ordered mine immediately. It takes about 6-8 weeks according to them but I got mine in 4 weeks.


I loved the pouch. It's a decent-sized makeup bag that you can fit in your handbag. And boy was I surprised to see all these samples. They are a lot for something that's free and good sizes too.


There are totally 5 samples with a coupon booklet that has lots of useful coupons on makeup, and beauty items sold at Target. If you ask me, Target, being a discount store, already sells makeup, and beauty products for a lot less than other discount stores, so we really do not need more discounts on that, but it's always a pleasure to get some.

Coming back to the summer beauty bag, these are the items it had:
- Aveeno Active Naturals Living Color Color Preserving Shampoo and Conditioner.
- Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock with SPF 70
- Tresemme Split Remedy Shampoo
- Garnier Fructis Fortifying Shampoo and Conditioner Color Shield
- Revlon Color Burst Lip Butter Peach Parfait

I was a little disappointed to see such a small sample of the Revlon Lip Butter (although I'm glad its a shade that I've not used) but the rest of the samples are good for at least 2 to 3 uses. The best of the coupons from the booklet however was for Revlon cosmetics, $3 off, which is pretty decent. I'm also excited to try the Neutrogena sunscreen and the Tresemme shampoo.

All in all, I'm very pleased with it and I am glad I was able to get it.

      I'm not sure libbybug. This year it was on Facebook, but do follow their twitter and do like them on Facebook, you never know. This is my first time and I got to know about it randomly through a youtuber. Good luck with getting it for Fall, hope I do to :) xoxo

Some Recent Regret Buys

In my opinion, it's not ethical blogging if we're only featuring the good and not talking about some bad products because let's face it, there are a lot of crappy products out there. And when we're not talking about them we're withholding important information and we're not being fair to our readers. In fact, it means we're being fairer to brands. It's fine if people want to earn some money through brand deals but it's really not worth it to become a sell-out. Some might say why bother writing about bad products, why not just let them be, but I want to put the word out there about bad products too because I want to help people like me save some money. Please note that when I say "bad products" it means "products that have not worked for me". However, these products might have worked very well for some others because each of us has different skin types and tolerance for products and it's totally OK. In the past few months, I t...

April 2012 Favorites and Regrets

I can't believe April has already come to an end. I can't say I'm sorry either because this means less rain, more blossoms, and summer in another month.  So without further ado, I present to you this month's beauty and makeup favorites.  As you can see there are quite a few things I've been liking this month. The list of all things beauty I've been loving/using frequently are: (in left to right order) Aussie Instant Freeze Hair Spray Extreme Hold : This product is just wow. The windy city can be brutal to hair especially when left open and this product is really a blessing. It gives a good hold without adding too much cast to the hair. You can build it up and get stronger hold if that is what you need.  It's easy to use and smells great. It's not too expensive and comes in a huge bottle. Clairol Herbal Essences Hydralicious Reconditioning Conditioner : I love this conditioner and this is a product worth repurchasing. I only wish they would put it in ...

I Got Influenced and Wasted my Money on These 15 Hyped Products

 Influencer marketing has been there forever but with more online social media platforms it has become even more crazier since the 2010s. This type of marketing trend has its good sides as we get to know about a lot of things that are introduced into the market while sitting at home. So there is no worry of missing out on anything that is good. But it is also sometimes misleading/misinforming which can not only make us waste money on worthless products but also mistrust influencers as a whole.  This post is going to be only about beauty (skincare/haircare/makeup) products that I wasted my money on. It does not mean that I mistrust influencers or that I am not going to follow influencers anymore. I have also benefited in many ways from influencers so this is not a hateful post. I only want to convey through this post that it is important to use our own judgment and not blindly follow what somebody is recommending just because they seem likable, genuine, or convincing on camera....
