A Teeny, Tiny Target Hair Haul (Kristen Ess)

June 5th, 2018 by Karen 11 Comments

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Also, if you leave Target with only two beauty products, does that count as a haul?

So many philosophical questions!

Purr usual, I went to Target today with a short list. I only needed a tub of spinach (I’m back on a green smoothie kick), but I walked out with all kinds of nonsense, including these two products from Lauren Conrad’s homegirl/hairstylist Kristen Ess.

One’s her Signature Hair Water Spray ($10, 7-oz. bottle), which, to be honest…I’m kinda murky on exactly what it’s supposed to do, but my ends have been dry lately, and I like the idea of having a moisturizing spray on hand to use whenever whenever the mood strikes.

INGREDIENTS
Water, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Algin, Chitosan, Carrageenan, Litchi Chinensis Pericarp Extract, Hypnea Musciformis Extract, Sargassum Filipendula Extract, Salvia Hispanica Seed Oil, Gelidiella Acerosa Extract, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Sorbitol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Coco-Glucoside, Cetearamidoethyldiethonium Succinoyl Hydrolyzed Pea Protein, Xanthan Gum, Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fragrance

The other one is her Frizz Management Cleansing Conditioner ($14, 8.45-oz. bottle), which I actually needed (“needed,” she says. HAHA!), because I just finished another bottle of R+Co Analog (which costs twice as much) and was in the mood to try something new.

It’s supposed to be good for curly girls, frizzy hair, humidity control and damage.

K, sounds good. Sign me up!

Raw Sugar Body Butter in Raw Coconut + Mango

March 20th, 2018 by Karen 7 Comments

Latest and greatest Tar-ghay find!

I keep a Target list on my phone because it’s common knowledge that if you go to Target without a list, you’ll leave with a cart filled with nonsense, and you’ll probably forget to actually get the items you need (story of my life). I keep the list because that way I know I’ll get what I, ya know, actually need, LOL!

Anyway, one of the things on my list right now is Raw Sugar Body Body Butter, which I recently discovered, and it’s been an amazing product find.

I keep my phone in my hand while I shop and do my best to stick to the things on the list.

It’s affordable — $9.99 for a 7-oz. jar! — but it feels like and performs as well as the $34 Caudalie Body Butter I love so much.

It’s a thicker-style body butter, so it isn’t as fluffy as the body butters at Origins or Pacifica, but despite how dense it is, it still absorbs quickly (weird!).

It’s also moisturizing as all heck.

I like that there’s a bunch of plant oils (olive, sweet almond, sunflower and jojoba, for starters) high up on the list.
