Target Haul - C'est la vie!

Every time i go to Target i have to look at their dollar rack. Sometimes they have cute stuff like the ones i picked up recently. Every girl has a fascination with Paris so i went a little crazy with these things even if they are only a dollar, they seemed worth it. 
I picked up two lotions (Strawberry Champagne and Warm Vanilla), a hand sanitizer (Warm Vanilla), a scented flavored lip balm (Strawberry Champagne), an eye mask and a cute box where i keep all of them. Everything has a very vintage feel and scent to it so i'm really loving them. The lotions both seem to have that vanilla smell which i really love.

Have you seen these at your Target?
Did you pick up any of them?

E.L.F Studio blush - Candid Coral!

I always find myself reaching for coral blushes no matter how many i already own LOL! I got this one from my local Target where they sell E.L.F products but you can also purchase it online along with other shades that they have available (9 in total). 

Candid Coral - a flattering pink/coral with golden sheen for that extra glow. this blush is known to be a great dupe for either Nars Orgasm blush or Nars Deep throat. I would say it's closer to Orgasm, because from swatches i've seen, Deep throat is a little more pink tones. The ELF blush has great pigmentation and goes on smoothly. it is a bit powdery but nonetheless for the price, the quality is really good and i would recommend it.

Apology to my beautiful readers/followers...

I'm sooooo sorry for being such a terrible blogger the past few months. A lot has been going on in my life that's very personal and i have not been able to find it in me to post regularly so i took some time for myself to figure out a couple of things. 

I thank you all for your comments, messages and requests that i will get to as soon as i can. I'm hoping to get back on track with blogging in the new month so i can start a good month fresh and nice. 

Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

FOTD - Liner and Lashes

I don't usually not wear eyeliner on my waterline because i feel it makes me look a bit naked LOL! But at the same time drawing the right top lashline line will make eyes look more open and give that classy look that is perfect for everyday. I paired up the look with the new ES lashes that look long in person. The picture don't do them much justice but nonetheless it works out. Hope you like it =)
