Target Summer Beauty Bag Unboxing: What's In

Before I say anything, this is not one of those beauty bags which you have to subscribe to by paying every month and then get worthless samples that you cannot even use (what a rip-off!). I'm not saying all of them are bad but there are quite a few which I find are not worth the money. The Target beauty bag however is a free bag (Yes you heard it right, its totally FREE, no conditions). At the beginning of every season, Target gives away these bags full of generously sized samples in a cute makeup bag to thousands of fans who send in a request. This year they posted a link to it on their Facebook page and they had more than 400, 000 of these bags to give away for free.

I was lucky enough to know about it on time and I ordered mine immediately. It takes about 6-8 weeks according to them but I got mine in 4 weeks.


I loved the pouch. It's a decent-sized makeup bag that you can fit in your handbag. And boy was I surprised to see all these samples. They are a lot for something that's free and good sizes too.


There are totally 5 samples with a coupon booklet that has lots of useful coupons on makeup, and beauty items sold at Target. If you ask me, Target, being a discount store, already sells makeup, and beauty products for a lot less than other discount stores, so we really do not need more discounts on that, but it's always a pleasure to get some.

Coming back to the summer beauty bag, these are the items it had:
- Aveeno Active Naturals Living Color Color Preserving Shampoo and Conditioner.
- Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock with SPF 70
- Tresemme Split Remedy Shampoo
- Garnier Fructis Fortifying Shampoo and Conditioner Color Shield
- Revlon Color Burst Lip Butter Peach Parfait

I was a little disappointed to see such a small sample of the Revlon Lip Butter (although I'm glad its a shade that I've not used) but the rest of the samples are good for at least 2 to 3 uses. The best of the coupons from the booklet however was for Revlon cosmetics, $3 off, which is pretty decent. I'm also excited to try the Neutrogena sunscreen and the Tresemme shampoo.

All in all, I'm very pleased with it and I am glad I was able to get it.

Top 12 Things to Buy from Kruidvat own Brand

 We've been seeing inflation here in the Netherlands since October last year. It's just plain ridiculous to see something that I paid 5 euros for a few months back is now around 7 euros or maybe more. That doesn't sound like a lot but when you buy about 50 things (food, groceries, toiletries, etc.) for your house, it all adds up and overall you are paying 50 to 100 euros more than what you were paying previously. But unfortunately, not a lot of us have seen this increase in our pay and many people have even lost jobs during and after the covid crisis. So it's only natural for us to want to save our money wherever we can. But that said we also do not want to compromise on quality. And that is where the idea for this post comes from. Kruidvat is a drugstore that is similar to CVS/Walgreens in the US. Products sold here are mostly hygiene products, cleaning supplies, makeup, and over-the-counter medicines. I have been shopping here for hygiene products for years. By now I

April 2012 Favorites and Regrets

I can't believe April has already come to an end. I can't say I'm sorry either because this means less rain, more blossoms, and summer in another month. So without further ado, I present to you this month's beauty and makeup favorites. For those I've reviewed I have linked them to the blog post. For the rest of them, I left short reviews of why I did or didn't like them. As you can see there are quite a few things I've been liking this month. The list of all things beauty I've been loving/using frequently are: (in left to right order) Aussie Instant Freeze Hair Spray Extreme Hold: This product is just wow. The windy city can be brutal to hair and this product is really a blessing. It's easy to use and smells great. It's not too expensive and comes in a huge bottle. Clairol Herbal Essences Hydralicious Reconditioning Conditioner Jergens Shea Butter Deep Conditioning Moisturizer: I first got introduced to this lotion when I was in India and

5 Things that Did Not Work for Me to Lose Weight with Hypothyroid/PCOS

 I have been suffering and dealing with Hypothyroid/PCOS for about a decade now. Weight gain is one of the main problems of people struggling with these two chronic illnesses. I have tried a lot of things to reduce weight and over the years I have been through many trials and tribulations and made many mistakes in the process of trying to lose weight.  The following tips come from my experience and these are mistakes you might want to avoid if weight loss is your goal with Hypothyroid/PCOS. Counting calories : Like many others, I bought into the belief that by counting calories and limiting my calorie intake I would be able to lose weight. But this is a very bad way to start because it gives you the idea that you can eat anything and everything as long as you are limiting your calorie intake. And since most foods like junk, and ready-made foods that you buy at the supermarket come with a lot of calories, I used to overall eat very less, not get enough nutrition, starve myself, and then
