First in the haul, I picked up some Up&Up (Target brand) cucumber cleasing cloths. I've used these the past three days and so far, I really like them! These towelettes have a smooth side and a textured beaded side as well. I love the beaded side because I feel like it's really cleansing my face. I've also been using the Up&UP makeup remover wipes and I have absolutely no complaints! They're even okay to use around my eyes, no burning or anything from them. One wipe takes off all of my makeup, so no need to use two! Overall, I think Up&Up's products are very good, reasonably priced (about $3.00 a pack) products.
Second, I decided to finally try the Elf makeup remover wipes ($3.00). I am a lover of (most) Elf products. With such cheap prices, you'd think that there is stuff is low quality. However, I've found that some of their stuff, I like more than name brand. I haven't tried these makeup remoer wipes yet, because I'm still working on my Up&Up pack, but when I do try them I'll probably write some type of review!
Third, I got the Elf Blotting Papers ($1.00). I've noticed only here within the past 3-4 months that my face has been oily. I hate it! I've read mixed reviews about these, and so far I've only tried one. These are the green-tea kind, and that's supposed to make them better than others. However, I've tried other blotting papers, and I liked them more. I'm not sure if it's just me or what. I'm going to give these another try when I notice my face is a little extra oily. So, stay tuned!
One of my makeup must-have's is the Elf Eyeshadow Primer. It's $1.00 at Target and I stock up on this stuff. I believe there are multiple colors you can get, I just go with the plain jane one like this. I don't need sheer or anything because my eyeshadow's are generally similar to this in color anyways. I can put this on, then my eyeshadow/liquid liner at 8 am and by 5 pm my eyes are still looking great! I seriously recommend this product to everyone! If you like it, great! If you don't, well you only wasted $1.00! Give it a try!
For Christmas this past year, my soon to be Mother-in-Law got me a 12 piece set of the Elf brushes. That's when my Elf obsession started, I guess! Anyways, I love the Elf brushes because they are cheap, but when you're using them, it's like you're using a brush from Merle Norman, Elizabeth Arden, etc. The bristles don't fall out, they're super easy to clean, etc. I needed a new blush brush, but at Target I couldn't find the specific one I was looking for. Instead I got this complexion brush and it works just as well! It's super soft, but the handle is sturdy and I can tell it's going to be one of those brushes that last's a long time.
Lastly, I got the Elf Moisturizing Lip Color in Pink Minx. I previously (a month or two ago) bought one of these in the color Lavishing Rose as well. The color given on the package is pretty close with the actual color of the lipstick. The Pink Minx is a little too pink for me, so I blot and add a little gloss and it's fine. The Lavishing Rose color is beautiful! It's my go-to for a dramatic, darker lip. Either way, these colors are great and super pigmented! They're about $3.00 each, but I know that Elf has other lip colors (that I've used and loved) for $1.00!
Other random things I purchased were some gum (because I'm constantly chewing gum) and this cute little teal notebook with gold script lettering. It was in the $1.00 section (one of my favorite places in Target.) With all this wedding planning and going to school, I'm constantly jotting ideas and plans down. This little notebook is the perfect size to keep in my purse so I can grab it whenever I need to!
I also got a card because Thursday is my step-dad's birthday! Total I spent less than $20.00, but I know Up&Up is always on sale if you have the Target Cartwheel App.
Hope you enjoyed my first mini-haul!
Stay Classy,

I've been using the Elf eyeshadow primer and I'm really liking it. I went on an online shopping spree with Elf about a month ago and got a ton of stuff! I love that most of their stuff if pretty good quality for such a cheap price!
