makeover before and after

Here is a makeover I did for this lovely lady today, took me about 45 minutes for everything! 

What do you all think ?

Target Canada now carries Elf and NYX cosmetics !

So,
I was walking through the make up aisles at Target (I am normally a high end make up kinda girl but sometimes I check out drgstores for make up as I shop for other things just to see if anything will stand out to me, you'll never know when you might have that "love at first sight" thing when this one product stands out to you and you know you two were meant to be.

Aaaanyway...
I stumbled upon the Elf (Eyes Lips Face) cosmetics aisle at Target here in Calgary, which I know is new because I was there yesterday (yep, mat leave, going to the mall every day, mallrat mom right here) and to my amazement they have quite a large selection. They carry most of their best selling items and quite a lot if brushes. I noticed that they were already sold out of the St. Lucia blush and bronzer duo, which is an affordable dupe of the Nars Orgasm Laguna blush-Bronzer duo. They were also running low on the primer, lip exfoliator, HD powder and shimmer powder. The price range is exellent, everything is either $4 or $8. Which is good compared to their regular priced items online of $3-$8 USD. So that's pretty close considering the exchange rate and the fact that shipping to Canada costs $15 usd on their website, except when they have their 50% off everything sales online, but its nice and convenient to have some of those products in store especially if you just need a few things, because if you shop online you better stock up on those bad boys if you want a good bang for your buck especially with their outrageous shipping costs.
I must say the ELF brushes are absolutely amazing for the price, they are very multi purpose, last forever and most importantly are 100% vegan just like ALL of their other products.

 

 

I also noticed they started carrying NYX products as well, I've seen that it is quite a popular brand in the states and many YouTubers have been raving about their products for like... Ever.
I'll be honest and say I am absolutely clueless when it comes to NYX as I have never tried a single product from them but I am very curious.
Q: What are your favorite and must have NYX products? What are absolute no-nos or items you regret buying? Comment and let me know!

So if you are a fan of either of these brands, run over and grab your items ASAP, because we all know that once something is sold out at target it'll be gone for a long, long time as they only seem to be restocking their shelves once in a blue moon (what's up with that?)

Happy shopping!!
