September Target beauty box review

OGX Renewing Coconut Milk Shampoo: I've used OGX shampoo before and liked it, but I hadn't tried the coconut milk shampoo. It has a nice, light scent to it. I'm not sure if I like it as much as the other OGX shampoo I use, but it was fine. It didn't leave my hair feeling dry, which is always good!

Biore Baking Soda Cleanser: I liked this cleanser. It made my skin feel soft and clean afterwards, and it had a light scent to it.

Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara: I didn't really care for this mascara. I noticed a strong chemical-y smell just from opening the top. And it just clumped all my lashes together instead of giving me nice and full lashes. I didn't like the brush either.

Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream: Again, not a fan of the Laneige products. I get one in every single Target box I get and I just don't care for it.

EDEN BodyWorks JojOba Deep Conditioner: I didn't care for this conditioner. First of all, it is super thick! Consistency wise, it's probably similar to shortening. It doesn't go on very well because it almost falls apart since it acts more like a solid than a liquid substance. I also didn't really care for the scent. You're supposed to leave this on your hair for 30 minutes (which I didn't do because I didn't realize you were supposed to leave it on so long.). I didn't notice any difference after using it and just didn't like enough to bother using it again.

S.W. Basics Organic Lip Balm in Cocoa Butter: I liked this lip balm. I've never used cocoa butter lip balm before, so I liked that it was a different flavor. It seems pretty moisturizing and I like that it's simple and organic.

Rimmel The Only 1 Lipstick in Naughty Nude: I really liked this lipstick! It's pretty creamy and a very subtle color on me. Just a hint of pink. It also has a berry flavor to it which may or may not be a good thing depending on if you like berry or not! But this is a great everyday color. I don't wear lipstick very often, but this has been my go-to lately!

Overall this was a pretty good box. I liked just over half of the products.

Five for Friday

Hello and welcome to my Five for Friday! I am linking up with Cup of Tea , Bright on a Budget , and Della Devoted !

1. We finally had an entire week of 'fall' weather! It was in the low 60's all week and it was so nice. I am not a fan of hot weather, so having the temperatures in the 80's and 90's clear up to October is miserable for me! So I am happy to finally be able to wear my sweaters, coats, and boots!

2. And on the same note, the people behind us have this really neat tree that pretty much just has all the fall colors. So pretty!

3. I made a chicken pot pie the other night for dinner. It was pretty good if I do say so myself! They sure are time consuming though! 

4. In case you missed it I shared a review of the September Ipsy glam bag as well as some pictures from the Portland Farmers' Market!

5. Ugh. Well, I can't think of a fifth thing for this week. So, um. This is awkward. Ok, here's a fun fact. You can order the kids' meal at Chick-fil-A and just ask for the ice cream cone instead of a toy. It's a lot of food and you get a free ice cream cone. Totally did that yesterday. You're welcome.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Portland Farmer's Market

On our way back from my grandparent's house, we stopped in Portland for the night. And on Saturday morning, we headed downtown to check out the Portland Farmer's Market.

The market was smaller than I thought it was going to be (it's the biggest one in Portland, so I guess I was expecting this huge place!), but it had a lot of different vendors and booths.

We (meaning my mom and dad!) ended up with a whole bag of stuff to take back home with us. Although we could have bought more if we didn't live so far away!

Anyways, it was a nice little place walk around before our long drive back home.

Also, I got a raspberry cinnamon roll at the market which was SO good! I never thought about adding raspberry to cinnamon rolls, but it was extremely good!

Do you enjoy going to farmers markets?

September Ipsy Glam Bag

Tarte cosmetics tarteist™ lash paint mascara: I didn't really care for this mascara. It did make my lashes look longer for a while, but it seemed to wear off throughout the day and came off in flakey pieces. So at the end of the day there was hardly anything left! I also hated the brush. The bristles are rubbery plastic and were very sharp! If you happen to get somewhat close to the lash root(which I can typically do with my regular mascara.) this will pretty much stab you in the eye. Definitely wouldn't recommend this.

Whish Renewing Mud Mask: I did like this mud mask, although at $44 for 2oz, I don't think I will be buying it! So it was nice to get as a sample, but certainly not worth buying full priced! For the size of the bottle, I expected to get more use out of it but I only had enough to use it about 3 times. It didn't exfoliate like it said it would (the formula was really creamy, not at all coarse or anything that would be an exfoliant.) But it did leave my skin feeling nice and soft. 

ulta3 Nail Colour in Sizzling Red: I really really don't like the color of this polish. I would consider this more pink than red. It doesn't go on very well (it goes on streaky.) and it really wasn't very long lasting. 

Dr.G Daily Safe BB in Fair: I didn't care for this either. I thought the shade had too much of a yellow undertone for me. Also it didn't have very good coverage and didn't cover redness very well. I like the idea of it and that it's for sensitive skin and has natural ingredients, but the shade just wasn't right for me. It did have a really nice scent to it. I also didn't really like the packaging as it was SO hard to read (let alone photograph!)! The light mint font on the silver background just didn't work.

Pixi by Petra Mattelustre Lipstick in Rose Naturelle: I liked the shade of this lipstick. It is very very close to my natural lip color, so it's barely noticeable, but it does have just a hint of color. It's creamy and I like that it's a matte color. It also looks like they have a lot of other great colors in this lipstick line! And it's available at Target, which is always a win!
