target haul

and i felt really stupid saying that, like it should be said with a huge smile and silly high tone of voice before i ramble about things i dont need. this will be different because i needed most of it. whats better is that most of it was also on sale, so hurray for me and my deals for poor people.

first, and most boring, is the new pillow i got that is huge and fluffy and squishy and clean and amazing. my sleep is totally going to improve because of this pillow-- id bet on it!

second would be the eight new pairs of boy shorts i got for $2 each! weirdly, though, was that pretty much every color and style was full and only of large and xl. i did so good because i wanted at least a weeks worth and i got an extra one!

and lastly is the stuff i did not need: the makeup. i had a coupon for lipstick so i just had to use it. i actually got two lipsticks and a blush. the lipsticks are from revlon; one is a colorburst and the other is a super lustrous. i was a little sad because the super lustrous one was an amazing pink color, Luminous Pink, but i just realized its shimmery and i am not a shimmery makeup kind of girl. I am keeping it because it was only $5 and i may use it sometime later. The colorbust shade is AMAZING! I got it in Lilac [001] and it looked like an intense purple on the back of my hand but it came off so sheer on my lips and they still feel soft and its actually a very flattering color on me. I am so happy with the lipstick . . . . Also, the blush i got was one of those little covergirl cheekers ones. I was actually going to get this purple-y color that im mad i didnt get cuz itd match this lipstick so well, but i ended up getting the blush in classic pink and the sheer color is so so cute on. Im definitely going back for the purple shade if i dont end up splurging on a matching shade at MAC.

and thats it. i felt like saying it somewhere because i am so happy about it. hopefully i can go back and get more of these lipsticks soon . . . .
