Target Try-On • September 2019

It’s been a little while since I shared some stuff from Target with you guys, so I thought I’d check the clothing out and see what I could find. We all know I’m at Target a shameful number of times per week, especially now that I’m back to school and I can stop in there really quickly without my children.

*This post contains affiliate links.

First up, this adorable leopard dress. It’s a midi length, so it’s definitely work appropriate! The buttons are functional, so it’s a nursing friendly option, which is so hard to find in a cute dress! It comes with the belt attached and looks perfect! I’m wearing the XS in this photo because it was all they had in stock. I would have preferred the small, because it was bunching a bit. So I would say it’s TTS.

My booties are from Target as well, but they’re a bit older and out of stock in most regular sizes. However, they are available in most wide sizes!

I absolutely loved this top! The color is perfect for fall! The fit was so comfortable! It would look great with denim, colored denim, or white denim like I’m wearing here. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small!

This pair of white denim is so cute, but unfortunately too long for me. I had to cuff them and I just didn’t love the way that it looked with these booties. I feel like it made me look much shorter than I already am. They were very comfortable, and as you’ll see, they looked much better with the flats I tried on. They’re TTS, I’m wearing a 6.

This shirt is one of my favorite items I tried on. It’s perfect for the current transition from summer to fall. It looks great with shorts and pants. It’s super comfortable, hits at exactly the right length, and comes in a variety of colors. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.

I absolutely love love love these flats! They’re a perfect color for fall, the fit is amazing. They’re TTS, I’m wearing an 8.

No joke the day after I tried this sweatshirt on, one of my students was wearing it to school! That honestly made me love it even more! It’s so cute, so comfy, and just perfect. I love the stripes, the colors, and the little embroidered heart! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.

This denim was such an amazing pair of clean, simple denim. They are so comfortable. The perfect dark wash with no distressing. As always, I had to cuff them, but that’s not a huge issue for me. The best part?! They’re $15!!

A perfect go to outfit for running errands or lounging around the house. Throw on a tee, leggings, and a sweater and you’re good to go!

I absolutely adore this cardigan. It’s such an amazing color! The fit was also great! It’s long enough for leggings and I can’t get enough! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.

As always, a simple white tee is essential. This is a small and I think I would have preferred a medium, especially since I was wearing it with leggings, and well…. two kids = no longer perfectly flat stomach. I’ve gone through multiple of these tees from Target and will continue to love them!

These leggings! They’re supposed to be a great dupe for the Spanx faux leather leggings. I’m not at a point in my life where I can justify $100 leggings, so I opted for the $15 pair from Target, and y’all, they’re good. So. Good! I am obsessed. I actually sized down in these to a small and they’re perfect!

Years ago I was obsessed with zebra print. I think I went through a phase where I was kind of over it, but animal print is back this fall and I am here for it!! I’ve never really stopped loving the animal prints, but I toned them down when they weren’t as popular. This sweater is so cute! I love the balloon sleeves. I will be honest, though, it was slightly itchy. I was hot and in a rush and flustered, but I do remember it wasn’t the absolute softest thing I’ve ever tried on. was it cute?! Yes. Would I still wear it? Absolutely! It paired so well with the same leggings and flats from the previous picture. My store didn’t have a small, so I tried on the medium. I’d have gone with the small if they’d had one in stock. It’s definitely TTS.

I paired the sweater with the same leggings and flats but it would also work with denim as well.

What was your favorite item from the try on? What are you loving from target that I didn’t have a chance to share? Let’s chat!

Daily 5 – September 5, 2019

Ulta 21 Days of Beauty

There are a couple of times during the year that I seriously love more than any other time… Christmastime, mostly all of fall, and the two times per year that Ulta has their 21 Days is Beauty sales! We already know I’m a makeup/skincare/hair care junkie, so when I can get my favorite high end items for a bargain, I’m here for it. Obviously I’m exaggerating, but these are some seriously amazing deals that you don’t want to miss.

*This post contains affiliate links. All photos are directly from the Ulta website.

If you’re not familiar with Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty, here is how it works. Every day, for three weeks, there are certain items that Ulta sells for 50% off. These items are available at the discounted price for that day only. It ends online at midnight. Don’t wait that long, I’ve missed out on things by a minute in the past. There are items that are available in store and online, online only, and then there are platinum/diamond exclusive items as well.

Diamond and platinum members, aka those of us who spend too much money at Ulta every year, get free shipping on the daily beauty steals. I appreciate that, Ulta. This is why we are such great friends.

In addition to the daily steals, there are items that are discounted up to 40% that stay discounted throughout the entire event. I’ve decided to go through that list and share my picks of those items first and then share with you all of the daily steals I know are amazing and what I’m probably going to be buying.

Hot Buys

These items are available at the discounted price through the entire 21 Days of Beauty, while supplies last.

I’m a huge fan of the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water so I’m super excited to try the crystallized version. It comes in 3 scents, of course I’m going to try the lavender.

Original $32 // Sale $16

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks are a great option for liquid lips and they’re 30% off! I have a couple of different colors, I think I’ll try some new ones for fall!

Original $22 // Sale $15.40

Lorac eyeshadows are some of the first high end eyeshadows I ever tried, and they’re really good. They are super buttery soft, and because of that some of the shades tend to have some fall out. Don’t let that scare you! If you’re comfortable with eyeshadow, they’re super easy to work with! I have several Lorac palettes and I’m so happy with all of them.

Original $39 // Sale $30

I LOVE literally everything I’ve ever tried from Becca. Like honestly, nothing has ever left me wishing for more! I cannot recommend this enough. Its great to put on with your primer, or mix right into your foundation. You can also use it like you would a normal highlighter if you want.

Original $41 // Sale $28.70

I’ve had several small samples of this serum and really liked the way it made my skin feel. I’ve not used it consistently long enough to notice any results, but I’m interested to try it out in the full size, so that I’ve got enough to try it for the recommended two weeks. It has amazing reviews, and will be 25% off!

Original $38 // Sale $28.50

Daily Beauty Steals

Sunday, September 1

Benefit the Porefessional – This is a really great pore filling primer. I remember when I was younger and wanting so badly to try it out but not having the money. When I finally got some to try, I was hooked. I don’t use it daily, but when I feel like my pores are looking larger, I’ll use this and they disappear!

Original $32 // Sale $16

Tuesday, September 3

This Becca powder is probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever used. Literally, it feels cold on your face. Its a hydrating powder and its a super weird feeling at first, but once you get used to it, it’s actually really great! I think it feels nice, and I’ve got dry skin, so I love it. It does, by the time you’re almost finished with the container, lose some of the “moisturizing” feeling, but still works really well! I always set my foundation and I think that this does a fantastic job!

Original $39 // Sale $19.50

Wednesday, September 4

I used to use nothing but bareMinerals, and I swore by it. I still love their products, and use some of them often. This concealer is one of them. The name “Well Rested” is perfect. This is an amazing concealer for erasing everything under your eyes. I’ve used it with powder foundations, liquid foundations, you name it. It’s just like all other bareMinerals products, that start as a powder and blend out to be a perfectly creamy product. Highly recommend!

Original $20 // Sale $10

I’ve tried a few samples of Mamonde rose products and been happy with them. I love the smell of Rose anything, so I’m thinking about giving this a try!

Original $23 // Sale $10.50

This No Poreblem primer is another great option for those who have larger pores. This is a little bit thinner of a consistency than the Benefit Porefessional, so if you’re not really into the texture of that, you can give this one a shot!

Original $18 // Sale $9

Thursday, September 5

There is just something about MAC lipsticks that I cannot get enough of. I’ve never tried one I don’t like. They look good, they wear well, they have an amazing scent! There are two colors available for half price and I’m definitely going to snag this one!

Friday, September 6

This set from Perricone MD is a great way to try out some of the products, if you’ve been interested. I’m definitely considering giving it a try! It could also make a really great gift!

Original $28 // Sale $14

Saturday, September 7

I’ve never met an ABH brow product I didn’t love. I’ve heard amazing things about this guy, and I’m thinking I’ll grab one while they’re on sale. It’s not the same as the Brow Whiz that we all know and love. It has a different shaped end, that I actually have been interested in trying.

Original $23 // Sale $11.50

I was skeptical about this primer when I first heard about it, but I got it a few months ago, and it really is as good as everyone says. It helps my makeup to stay put longer for sure. I have a couple of foundations that I love, but in the summer months they tend to get a lot more dewy and break apart. This definitely helps with that.

Original $38 // Sale $19

Monday, September 9

I’m always looking for a good setting powder, even though I’ve got a handful that I really love. I’m definitely interested in trying this guy out. The reviews are good. Urban Decay never disappoints.

I’m super interested in trying this Peach & Lily serum. I’m not overly in love with any one serum, so I’m open to trying new ones. This one is definitely on my radar.

Original $39 // Sale $19.50

Benefit Hoola bronzer is one of my favorite bronzers of all time. I remember wanting this for so long and getting a sample in one of my subscription boxes. I was hooked. I love it!

Original $30 // Sale $15

Tuesday, September 10

I believe that I got my dr. brandt No More Baggage in a FabFitFun box. This stuff is good. Its cooling and refreshing on your undereyes. It has a peachy color to cancel out any dark circles. I highly recommend it!

Original $42 // Sale $21

How much of an explanation do you need for St. Tropez? They have a lineup of amazing products!

This is a great mascara option if you are looking for longer lashes. I’ve gone through multiple tubes of it! It really does great!

Original $23 // Sale $11.50

Friday, September 13

These blushes and highlighters really do last all day long. I’ve got a ton of different blushes that by the end of the day, I’m wondering what happened to them. These stay put exactly where you put them, until you take them off! They come in so many beautiful colors too!

Original $29 // Sale $14.50

Another great option for Lorac! I’ve got both the Unzipped palettes and they are just as good as the Lorac Pro palettes!

Original $35 // Sale $17.50

I’m definitely interested in trying this system out. You use one per week, apply, leave on for a few minutes, and then rinse. It’s supposed to help resurface your skin and leave it glowing and looking healthy.

Original $85 // Sale $42.50

Saturday, September 14

I’ve been a fan of the It Cosmetics CC cream for such a long time and I’m dying to try this. I’m so glad that it’s one of the daily steals. I can’t wait to get my hands on it and try it out!

Original $29 // Sale $14.50

I have and love this palette! My husband actually got it for me as a Christmas gift, and it has been a favorite since I got it. You can create so many different looks with the shades. They are super blendable and just look amazing.

Original $39 // Sale $19.50

I’ve gone through multiple tubes of this primer. I’ve got dry skin and I love the way this makes my skin feel when I apply it. I usually mix it with other primers, for different needs, but this definitely does moisturize my skin.

Original $34 // Sale $17

This is another product I haven’t tried, but I’ve been interested in it since I heard about it for the first time. I’m always looking for good products to hydrate my skin. This has great reviews, so it’s another item on my wishlist.

Original $65 // Sale $32.50

Monday, September 16

My mom has PMD device and loves it. She’s been using hers for about a year or so and she’s been really happy with it. It’s something I’ve always wanted to try, maybe I’ll buy it as a Christmas gift for myself. Christmas in September? Can we make that a thing?

Original $199 // Sale $99.50

Tuesday, September 17

Another setting powder with great reviews. I’ve loved everything I’ve tried from CoverFX as well. I’m not sure which powder I’m going to try, but this is one of the contenders.

Wednesday, September 18

Another brand I’ve been super impressed with is Tula. I’ve tried a ton of different products from the brand and been happy with them. I’m not sure I’ll need a new eye cream by the time this is on sale, but the price is pretty great. I may add it to my stash of backups.

Original $52 // Sale $26

This is another eye cream that I’ve heard really great things about.

Original $49 // Sale $24.50

Thursday, September 19

This is a great set to try out the brand Origins. It could also make a great gift set!

I love a banana powder for under my eyes to help brighten and make me look awake. I’ve tried a couple of samples of DermaBlend powders and been really happy with them. Definitely something I want to check out!

Original $29 // Sale $14.50

Friday, September 20

So, today is the day for amazing items apparently. Seriously, Ulta, you’re killing me with these items! So many amazing deals!

This is an amazing concealer. It literally covers everything. I’ve used it several times and honestly, you can use too much. You only need the absolute tiniest amount, so don’t go overboard with it.

Original $21 // Sale $10.50

I’ve never met someone who used this moisturizer and didn’t love it. I was crushed when my last container was empty. So glad to be able to grab another one for half price!

Original $26 // Sale $13

I have not found a single product that cleans my sponges and brushes better than the BeautyBlender Solid Cleanser. It gets everything out so quickly and rinses clean so easily! I’ll take ten please!

Original $16 // Sale $8
