A Sonia Kashuk palette and other beauty necessities



I know, I know I said i wouldn't buy more stuff but I really wanted to get this Instructional Eye Shadow Palette from Sonia Kashuk in the shade eye on neutral-02. I needed more oil blotting sheets also and some face wipes.

Sonia Kashuk- Instructional Eye Shadow Palette
Shade: eye on neutral-02

Price: $19.99
I was hoping to get this palette last week when we went to the target by our house but it was completely sold out. I checked the Target website all week to see if they had re-stoked but they hadn't. At the other Target by my house it had always been stocked, so yesterday we had to do some grocery shopping and I convince my husband to go the other target. Sure enough, it was there and it was the last one. I was so relieved that I got there in time and excited. I don't have any just-matte eyeshadow palettes. I do have a lot of eyeshadow palettes but most only have one or two matte shades and the rest are all shimmery. Needless to say i think this was a necessity in my makeup collection. I like the consistency of these eye shadows. They are very pigmented and creamy, so when you put your brush in it your going to pick up a lot of product. I love that it is a neutral palette because i mostly use neutral colors and i usually never go too crazy on my eyeshadow. It was $20 but i think that for the amount of eye shadows you get it makes sense. I cant wait to create a look with this later today.

Price: $3.00


I had never tried these wipes before yesterday but I am really impressed with e.l.f. for this. It completely took off my makeup and I only had to use one wipe. I usually need three with the Kirkland brand one and the Up brand from Target. I like that these are also much bigger and they have a pleasant scent. They don't leave my skin sticky yet it does feel moisturized. In the back in says that they are infused with aloe vera extract for moisturizing and that they are great for sensitive skin. After using these wipes your suppose to rinse your face with water. Which is a little strange because with other brands you don't have to do that. Other then that, they are pretty nice and cheap.There are 20 wipes in each pack and it's just $3, that's a pretty good deal. The Pond's brand I was going to buy was $4.69 for 30 wipes. I'm probably going to keep buying these.

Price: $1.00

The last beauty item I picked up was the e.l.f. Shine Eraser Oil Blotting Sheets. I have really oily skin and ever since I got tan at the beach on Wednesday i have been producing more oil for some reason. Its so weird and disgusting. These sheets are amazing at absorbing the oil though. They contain green tea that according to the back helps re-texturize skin, masking facial imperfections. It mattifies shiny skin, it minimizes pores, and its woven texture eliminates shine and keeps skin-matte for hours. They are really great and for only $1 you get 50 little sheets.
