Product I LOVE: Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Soft Nude

 Revlon Colorburst in Soft Nude @Target

$6

I first heard about these through Cheryl's Beauty Blog.

Not only did the color look gorgeous, but the aesthetic of the quilted packaging along with the shape of the lipstick itself sold me. I'm a sucker for packaging, but if the product works I'm SOLD.

For only $6 at my local Target I was hooked. However, it was actually hard for me to find. I went to 2 different Target's before I found it and this was the LAST Soft Nude lipstick.

I also confess that I am not big on drugstore brands. 99% of drugstore cosmetics are drying & barely pigmented. I bought Revlon's Matte lipstick in Nude Attitude a couple months ago and it's a good peachy nude, but it's not a color you can wear by itself, that's how drying it looks.

However, when I saw how creamy the color was, it was all I needed. It's not too chalky looking and not too barbie pink. It's PERFECT.

Side note: Also bought Revlon's nail polish in Grey Suede b/c of all the hype I've been hearing. Once I try it out I'll let you know if it's a keeper!

Dupe it: J Brand Houlihan Cargo Pant

UPDATE: I found a pretty good dupe of these @ Charlotte Russe. I ended up returning the pair from Target since they were not as fitted as the CR version. Click the pic below to be directed to their site.

 $34.50

J.BRAND 

Ever since I started spotting these J Brand cargos on pretty much every single celebrity, I have been on a quest...yes, a QUEST, to get my hands on a pair of these bad boys without the hefty $230 price tag.

 J Brand Houlihan Cargos

$230

7 FOR ALL MANKIND

First I started my search @ Macy's and found a similar version by 7 for all Mankind. But with a price tag of $169, it's still wayyy out of my price range...and believe me, I've been keeping an eye on these since June and the price still hasn't gone down.

 

7 For All Mankind

$169

 ZARA

Then while looking through one of my fav blogs Come Over to the Dark Side...We have Candy, she blogged about super similar cargos from Zara. So I rush to my local Zara's and by some miracle they still had the pants AND they were on sale for $15 from originally $80 AND To top that, they had my size! I go to try them on and I CANNOT get the cargos over my calves.  I've never had a problem with boots or pants not fitting over my calves. So consider these super skinny pants. Unfortunately, they do not make them bigger than a size 12 so I was out of luck...i was heartbroken i tell you.

(Photo courtesy of Candy since Zara's website no longer has a photo of these.)

Zara

$15 on sale from $80

And then, lo and behold, of all the places I didn't look, I came across these at Target. Unfortunately, the way they styled these with the middle schooler keds + ugly mustard top do not do these any justice. In the next few days I'll have an OOTD post with these and they won't look frumpy..promise!

Mossimo Skinny Cargos

$22

So for now, these Target cargos will do. OOTD posts to come soon! xox
