Target Boodle!

I notice a lot of girls use the word "Haul" to describe their shopping sprees.  Oh don't get me wrong...I love it and I love hearing about it.  I just wanted to use a different word.  So yes...I did a thesaurus search.  The thesaurus is seriously one of the most underutilized tools out there.  So this is what it came up with

  • load
  • loot
  • gain
  • goods
  • spoils
  • swag
  • boodle
  • booty
  • plunder
Most of these sound like I'm a pirate if I use any of them.  I guess it's appropriate since whenever I find myself getting a good deal I run to the checkout waving my arms yelling ARRRRGGHHH!!!!!  With happiness of course.  Argh with happiness.  

So imagine me picking up a prescription at Target (sigh...for my little boo boo's....2 ear infections, 2 kids, 2 weeks...it's been a tough month) and casually walking over to the clearance section in the beauty department.  Do you guys skeeve clearance makeup?  I totally DO NOT.  It's AWESOME!!!  Check out my loot!  Or swag...whatev....

Nothing you see here was over $4.00.  AMAZING!

The first thing I picked up was the mascara, mainly because I desperately needed mascara.  It's Almay and it has a 3 click system...one of full, fuller, and fullest.  I have only used full...and it does the job.  I am going out this weekend to a party so I'll turn it to fullest to let you guys know what the deal is there.



Then I saw this overnight foot cream.  Hey why not.  I just did a bunch of shoe perusing and since spring is coming up, my feet could sure use some sprucing up.  Training for this marathon certainly has done a number on my tootsies and I want them to look excellent for the sun when it decided to peek out!  So far it's been great!  I feel a slight little tingle and my feet definitely feel softer after a couple days use.




Then, as any girl should have this as a basic in their makeup routine, I picked up this Neutrogena sunscreen. However...this claims to have a "matte" finish...and it does!  I would say that this could almost double as a primer!  It's moisturizing and protection and doesn't leave my skin at all greasy.  It creates a nice matte base for foundation!  I think I love it!



This is from the Boots line and it's a lovely shade of sheer red.  Love the polka dots on the cap too!

I got this Burts Bee's hair conditioning treatment.  I have been DYING to get my hair cut since, like, November...and can never find the time and the babysitter's and my hair girl's time to coincide.  So...if I'm going to look like Morticia Adams...at least my hair can be healthy.  Only 2 bucks people...



I picked up this Rimmel foundation...mainly because it came with this free primer, and because I had a coupon.  Ha!  I'm so cheap.  I'm not partial to foundation, and I guess I only attribute that to not coming across one that I'm like "ohmygodthishaschangedmylifeidon'tknowwhati'ddowithoutthis."  Much like Italian food.  Most restaurants taste great to me...but if you ask me to tell you which is best...I really don't know...it's hard to mess up lasagna....




So that's my boodle, my swag, my haul, my bounty!  You gals score any great deals lately?

Aqua Adoration!

This weekend was full of projects and painting and sneaking out to garage sales and marathon training.  It really was quite a jam packed week.  Craig and I are in the midst of remodeling our bedroom, and we are painting it a glorious teal color...much like this photo that I showed you before:

aqua walls

Ooo...I just love that aqua!!  Anyway...so after a full night of painting, and then training for my marathon the next day...I could barely MOVE Sunday night.  I decided to take a cue from my adorable aqua color and give my tired hands a little pampering.  I totally would have done my toes, too...but I couldn't reach them.  Too sore.  I had picked up this color not to long ago...probably around the same time I found this picture.



SO fun!  I'm really glad I could muster up the energy to slap this on.  Please don't mind my horrible cuticles...running in the cold and doing DIY projects really takes it out of your hands.  But...I'm totally inspired by this aqua...and it gets me even more in the mood for spring!  COME ON WARM WEATHER!!!
