I went to Target today, and found some Elf products! I've never actually gone to a store that held Elf products, I've always just ordered online. Seeing everything in person was very exciting for me (lame, I know). Looking at all the choices I had was like being a little kid in a candy store!
I didn't really pick up anything exciting today, because I didn't have much time to look.
Today's pickups:
Zit Zapper
Eyelid Primer in Sheer
Tone Correcting Concealer in Light Beige
Contouring Blush & Bronzer Powder in St. Lucia
Kabuki Face Brush
Daily Brush Cleaner
CLEARANCE (YAAAAAS!) - Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Little Miss Thing
Katy Perry Lashes (adhesive included) in Oh, Honey!

This blush & bronzer duo is hmm... a 3/5 luvs. I like the blush, and I don't mind the shimmer in it. But the bronzer is wayyyyyyyy tooooooooo shimmery. On top of that, it has a super red muddy undertone. Exactly what I was hoping NOT to get. The consistency of both the blush and bronzer are really good though. Easy to apply and blend. I think I can work with the bronzer, I'll try to use not too much of it and hope it doesn't get too dirty looking. We'll see what I can do. I want to make it work, and I want to like it. The blush is a light pink color and super pigmented. Very nice, and I like the way it looks on my cheeks.
The Kabuki Face brush shed a lot at first but after a little while it was alright. It's really soft, and I like that it packs on powder without making it look cakey. The daily brush cleaner definitely smells like alcohol. I don't know how to tell but hopefully it's doing its job!

This Jumbo Eyeshadow Stick was on clearance because the eyeshadow was all messed up. I really like gold champaign shades and this was one of them. I picked it up, shrugged, and said I'd just depot it.
I may not be the best at depotting, but it's okay. Still works the same. It works nice as a creme eyeshadow, and it has good lasting power. I put it on as soon as I got home, and it's still going strong (it's been a few hours). It doesn't crease too badly. Nothing that makes me look like I've been wearing it forever. Setting it with an eyeshadow might be a good idea though.

The zit zapper is basically your usual salicylic acid formula but twice as much. It has 1% salicylic acid in it (most products only use 0.5%) and some witch hazel. Witch hazel is supposed to help clear out your pores and it also helps with comedones which are little bumps on your face that are hard and it looks like you have puss in it. It's a baby pimple, if you put it simply.
The eyelid primer is my all time favorite. Costs $1 and does the job better than a high end primer.
NOW THIS CONCEALER. OMFG. EW. It covers very well, I must say. But it STINKS SO BAD. It just smells like straight chemicals. It felt like I was rubbing very bad unhealthy skin destroying chemicals onto my face. Couldn't wait to wash it off. Just going by the smell, I wouldn't be surprised if my face was completely deteriorated by tomorrow morning. The product itself though, is not too bad.

This isn't even and Elf product but I think it's my favorite purchase today!
I've been looking for these everywhere and I have finally found them! The two other falsies are always in stock but these specific Oh, Honey! ones were sold out everywhere else.
I like these, they look natural but dramatic at the same time. Definitely going to put them on tomorrow! (:
