L'Oreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream

I just bought the new L'Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB cream in Fair.  I got this at Walgreens for $10.99.  I had seen this first come out at Walgreens weeks ago.  The display had a test sample in Fair.  I tried it just to feel the consistency and the smell. The display was right in the front of the store when you walk in so it was the first thing I saw and I instantly put a drop of this on the back of my hand.  I continued to shop and walk around the store.  The cream is on the liquidy side.  Not slide down your arm liquidy but not very thick.  When it comes out of the tube it is white and you can see little micro beads in it.  As you work it into your skin it goes on white and then changes into a foundation color to match your skin tone.  It's very interesting to see it happen so quickly.  Now I am not a fair complexion at all.  But I have heard that the color transformation on some of the other shades leaves the skin a bit orange-y.  I didn't want to spend that much money and have my face looking like an Oompa Loompa.  They were all out of Light and since I really liked the way Fair looked like on my hand, I took a chance on Fair.

The innovation this claims is 4 beautifying actions in 1: PRIMES to a smooth skin's texture, PERFECTS to hide imperfections, HYDRATES for all day moisture and CORRECTS skin for a healthy looking even complexion.  Instantly transforms to your perfect shade for a flawless bare skin finish.  Overtime, more beautiful skin.

Today is the first day I have used it.  I have to say that I didn't see the same soft skin effect on my face as I did on my hand but maybe because I had concentrated it in one small area.  But you only get 1.0 FL OZ (30ml) and you can't put too much on your face right?  I definitely need to try this a bit more before I can actually give my full opinion on this.  I was excited to get this and I wanted to share a little tease I guess.  I hope to have a full review and better photos of this product in action, if I can capture it on my camera.

Mini Target & Kmart haul (mostly Target)

This weekend has been perfect.  The weather was perfect, spent a Saturday afternoon with wonderful friends that are like family.  Did a little bit of shopping and I thought I would share.  Went to Target for a specific pair of shoes that I had seen on their website weeks ago.  I had seen them at my local Target and I tried them on...fell in LOVE with them.  They are the Mossimo Peace Gladiator Leopard sandals.  I didn't get them at that time because they were $19.99 and I couldn't bring myself to spend that much on a pair of sandals.  I have a bunch of sandals that are perfectly fine for summer and I really didn't need another pair.  But who am I kidding?  I am a girl, I can never get enough of any pair of shoes if I love them.  But alas, I did pass them up because they were not in my budget to get them.  This weekend Target had them on sale for $14.99!!  I said to hell with it, they are coming home with me.  I normally wear an 8 and even that is not normal.  Before I had my 2 boys, I was a size 7 - 7.5 depending on the shoe brand and style.  After my boys, my foot blew up to a full size 8.  All of my shoes that were even a 7.5 wouldn't fit my fat feet.  The Target I was at didn't have a size 8...BOO!  But there was a size 7.5...such a tease.  I picked them up anyways and walked up and down the aisle in hopes that someone picked up a size 8 and decided to put it back.  No luck.  I went and sat down to try on the 7.5 and HELLO!  They fit!!!  I thought maybe the sandals ran big so I tried something else on in a 7.5 and that fit!  So now I am back to a 7.5??  WTH?!

These sandals are pretty simple but totally gorg.  I love the animal print and just recently I have started getting into gold colors.  I have worn these for 2 whole days and no blister or rubbing problems.  They are very comfortable and so so cute with everything.

I also treated myself to a rose gold watch.  I have been wanting a Michael Kors watch but then again everyone has one right now it seems like.  I have also seen a Phosphor watch that is really cute and unique but those bad boys cost $220.  When I was in Kmart last checking out the makeup deals they had I cruised over to the jewelry area.  They had watches on sale for BOGO 1/2 off.  That's where I noticed the new Sofia Vergara line.  I didn't even know she had a line out.  But there was a very nice rose gold watch with a chocolate color face.  The watch was only $29.99 which was a really good price for a decent looking watch.  What do you think?  There is a diamond-like stone over each digit indicator and it fits perfectly around my wrist.  I paired this with a gold color bangle with a crystal encrusted bow that I purchased at a yard sale for 50 cents!

I also got some stackable fabric bracelets from Target.  I got 3 styles only, the pickings were a bit slim since these are really popular right now.  They are $4 each.  I also got the Sally Hansen Magnetic nail polish in purple.  They came out really nice and the magnetic effect was very nice.  The nail polish was on sale for $7.99.  I'm really feeling the purple these days.  Notice the purple comforter in the background..hahaha.
