Summer Target Beauty Bag is here!

Actually...it might have been in my mailbox for a few days.  I'm bad about getting the mail.

Same box as last time, only this one looks even grungier and more beaten-up.


...and a bag I might actually use.  That stripe thing wasn't me at all.  Ick.

Magic color changing bedding!  WTF, camera?!?

This also doesn't smell anywhere near as much as Spring did.  My spring bag STILL smells.  This is a 'just out of the shower' smell, strong enough to make my eyes itch, but no coughing.

...and the stuff....


Seems like more than Spring had, but then there was a big-ish pack of face wipes in that.  So what do we have?  Two shampoo/conditioner combos this time, Garnier Fructis Color Shield (0.34oz each) and Tresemme Split Remedy (1oz each).  I'll be trying both, since I have looooong hair and I'll get around to coloring it eventually.  Aveeno Daily Detoxifying Scrub (1oz) has a mild smell and has little beads in it.  Rice bran wax maybe, from the ingredient list.  I'll be trying this too.  The best one, for me anyway, is Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 70 (1oz).  I've liked their sunscreens before and this looks to be fragrance-free.  More than I can say for the bag.  Starting to get a headache.  I can't figure out who the stinker is, but I'm thinking it's the Tresemme.  The non-deluxe sample is Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Peach Parfait, which I knew would look at least ok on me, since Emma whatsit and I have similar enough coloring.


Yeah, not too bad at all.  The color is fresh and summery and it feels really good on, but dunno if I'd buy it.  The thing I don't like about the non-deluxe samples is you have no way of knowing how they actually apply.  Dabbing this on with a finger it's ok enough, but the stick itself (is it even a stick?) might suck.

So...on to the important part...the coupons.  $1, $2, and...a $3!!!
  • Aveeno skin care
  • 2 Garnier Fructis hair care
  • Neutrogena sun care
  • Jergens moisturizer
  • L'Oreal Color Riche lip or nail
  • 2 hair care from Head & Shoulders, Herbal Essences, Pantene, Aussie
  • Rimmel bronzer
  • Tresemme hair care
$2 off:

  • Nivea body skin care
  • Olay facial skin care
  • Pixi cosmetics item
aaaaand $3 off a Revlon cosmetics item!  Yaaaay!  The coupons don't expire until 8/31.  Target really got on the ball and did this early this time, which is so much better.

Thanks, Target!  This blog probably wouldn't exist if not for the Sally Hansen Magnetic coupon in the Spring bag.

  1. buy the lip butter. I have three, and I fucking ADORE them. They are sheer, but not too sheer. Super pigmented for the opacity. And they LAST. I bought red velvet, tutti frutti, and lollipop. Totally worth it. And that sunblock is pretty great. Thats what we use for the kids.

  2. Price doesn't look too bad. Might get some at Ulta eventually, during a BOGO50% or something. Looks like they have a big variety of shades. I have soooo much unworn or barely worn e.l.f. stuff and other things...I really need to do my face more than once every week or two. lol
