Most recent hauls: Target & Korean cosmetics

I hauled some really good items recently that I would like to share with you all.  The first haul comes from Target, and the second is from a local Korean cosmetics shop in my town.  Follow the jump to see what goodies I got!



From Target

Nintendo Power May 2012 issue

Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Cherry

Ecotools Travel Kabuki brush

Burt's Bees Sensitive Eye Cream

Elf Liquid Eyeliner in 4210 Copper

Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Extreme Wear nail color in 110 Green With Envy

Sally Hansen nail file

Revlon ColorStay Aqua Mineral Makeup in Light-Medium

I've read through the Nintendo Power already (and as unrelated to my blog as it seems, it really isn't!) and it's yet another great issue.  I'm a huge fan of NP magazine.  I think with my ridiculous love of video games, I should do more video game inspired makeup looks.

The lip shimmer is super gorgeous.  I also love the eye cream and nail polishes.  I have yet to test out my other new goodies but will definitely let you know how they go!

I must say I am very excited to start trying out some of my new cosmetics items, but I did want to make a comment about one item in particular: the lash glue.  I didn't think to read the ingredients when I bought it, but I've just glanced at it and am now legit scared! haha.  AND there is a discrepancy between the ingredients on the tube of glue and its box.

Ingredients on the box: Water (Aqua, Eau), Rubber Latex, Cellulose Gum, Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate, Ammonium Hydroxide, Fragrance (Parfum), Coumarin, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, Formaldehyde, Iron Oxides (CI 77499).

Ingredients on tube: Water, Cellulose Gum, Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate, Natural Rubber Latex, Perfume Compound, Formalin Solution, Ammonium Hydroxide. May also contain Iron Oxide.

Not only are the ingredients named differently and in a different order, the box says it contains formaldehyde???  I did some research and it's a common ingredient in lash adhesives to kill bacteria because they are water-based.  I'll try out the glue that came with my lashes and I'll give this a go, but I'm kind of scared haha. Any recommendations for a good lash glue?  Does anyone make a lash glue without formaldehyde?  Is it even possible?? haha

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this post!  There are plenty more to come :)  From these hauls you will definitely see the following either reviewed or featured in the future: elf eyeliner, Burt's Bees lip shimmer & eye cream, Revlon mineral foundation, Senite Peeling Gel, and the lashes!  Can you believe these are my first two pairs of false lashes ever? Neither can I.  I think I'll play with them for a look tomorrow... :)

I hope everyone has a lovely evening!  Thank you for reading xx
