Guess what finally showed up?

It’s the free Target Beauty Bag I posted about way back in August.

How cute is the bag? It’s actually more pinkish than the picture is showing.

Look at all the samples!

And on top of that you get a packet of coupons for Beauty Products.

A great freebie!

Did you sign up for the beauty bag?

Have you received yours yet?

I’d love to hear your opinions!

Best,

Actress, Maiara Walsh, can’t live without 3 things when it comes to makeup.

They are:

1. Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Pencil

“Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Pencil in Denim Blue is the only blue eyeliner I’ve found that stays on! I have blue eyes so this liner can make them pop a little more.”

2. Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm

“I love Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. I always have it with me!”

3. L’oreal Paris True Match Foundation

“For foundation I’ve been using L’oreal Paris True Match Foundation, which you can get for $10, and it works well!”

It seems Maiara is a fan of drugstore brands. What are your favorite drugstore products? At the moment mine would be PlusWhite Whitening Gel, Hard Candy lipstick in Fire Alarm, Loreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara and Elf brushes (great brushes for the price).

I was in CVS this weekend when I noticed they were having a sale on Burt’s Bees products. I love a sale so I decided to pick up some new things to try. Here are the reviews….

Peach and Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub

Scrub your skin peachy clean. This product uses ground peach stone to gently exfoliate your skin and willowbark to help clear pores. Willowbark Extract contains natural Beta Hydroxy Acids, which works as a natural skin exfoliant to help unclog pores. I used this product last night and it’s wonderful. My skin felt nice and soft and it smells great. Two thumbs up!

Retails for:$8.00

Radiance Exfoliating Body Bar

This natural soap is specially blended with royal jelly, one of nature’s most nutritious substances, to enhance skin’s radiance and overall tone. Jojoba beads and fruit acids gently exfoliate to smooth and even skin tone for a naturally healthy, radiant glow. I’ve been using this for the past few days and while I haven’t noticed a radiant glow yet it smells nice and leaves my skin feeling very very soft. I’ll try to update and let you know if I notice a more radiant glow.

Retails for: $4.00

More Moisture Raspberry & Brazil Nut Shampoo & Conditioner

This shampoo and conditioner are becoming a favorite of mine already and I’ve only been using them for the past few days. My hair looks soft and shiny and I can’t stop smelling it. I even had someone stop me yesterday and ask what I used on my hair because it looked so healthy. I would consider my hair to be on the dry side (even though I have oily roots) so that was nice to hear. It’s all thanks to Burt and his Bees

Retails for:$8.00 each they were on sale at CVS for $3.99 each.

Citrus & Ginger Root Hand Soap

This hand soap smells great and leaves my hands soft. I bought one for each of the bathrooms in my house.

Retails for:$7.00 they were on sale at my CVS for $3.50 each
