my target make up purchase

i’m not much of a make up person and when i do wear it, i don’t wear much. i like to look as natural as possible. most of my eye shadows are either browns, violets or neutrals. i think i only have 1 green and 1 blue. i also don’t wear foundation as it is too heavy. tinted moisturizers, mineral powders, or the like is okay. the thing is, i don’t want to feel like i’m wearing anything at all.

i wandered into target today to buy some formula for alex and checked out their health and beauty clearance isle. there were a bunch of cosmetics from jk, pixi, and np.

i’v never heard of any of these brands or see them before but i found some things to buy. i haven’t try them yet but they were cheaper than the drugstore brands at $5 – $7 a piece on clearance.

i bought:

jk pro finish moisture tint spf 20 in 02 medium $7

jk on set matifying powder in medium $5.25

jk lip ID color adapt gloss $5

pixi fat face (retractable) brush $5

the cube storage’s new home in the girls’ closet

we tested the stroller that i got on clearance at target when i was 3 months pregnant. ages ago huh? we went the farmers’ market today and stroll around in it. i find it easier to manuever than those travel systems. the only thing is that it’s hard to get into the storage underneath. seriously. iguess for the price i shouldn’t complain. the seats can accommodate up to 40 pounds each. did i mention that jaelynn loves it?

i love the farmers’ market! i try to go every other weekend. i love buying fruits and veggies from there. the prices are great and you get fresh fruits without the grocery store prices. today we bought 5 big baskets of cherry tomatoes for $1 each – i put these in the freezer and use them year round. they are such a pretty deep red color.

other fruits we got are 2 cantoloupes, 2 honey dews, 6 pounds of asian pears,  & 6 pounds of white necterines. i was going to get a watermelon but we were out of space. we are usually out by the middle of the week with our fresh fruits – the girls love eating (especially jaelynn) and i will give her fruits before any candies.

we ordered some pockets to try out (arrived yesterday) and james loves them! he’s asking why i didn’t get pockets sooner…lol. these are nubunz and i got them off of ebay for about $7.92 including shipping each so they’re a great deal. it’s also made in the usa… two microfiber inserts are included with each pocket.

we’re still using sposies at night but i’m hoping to start using pockets soon. james’ is not too fond of the idea. hmm…

alex in nubunz pockets oh and i realized i have the nubunz on incorrectly in those photos.

our 12 nubunz pocket diapers

remember i was storing the diapers in this? i re-arrange some things around; that cube storage is now in the girls’ closet (forgot to take a photo) and i’m now using the shelves and bins below for alex’s diapers and clothes.

i love the light blues and greens. hey, our duvet and rocker are light blue. curtains are a lighter shade of green.

i don’t know if it’s a good thing that i caught the gap’s family and friend’s 30% off sale right before midnight but i did. alex received a bunch of clothes from our friends and families so i think he’s good for a while. i bought him some anyway because i just couldn’t resist the organic onesies from gap. and really, for about $6 a piece after the discount (and with free shipping!), i think they are just too cute!

here are some of the ones i bought for alex; aren’t they adorable?
