FESTIVAL FUN WITH TARGET

Disclosure: This post is promoted by Target. The opinions expressed herein are those of the author.

One of the most exciting things happening in April is festival style. I’m a huge believer in experimenting and getting more creative with your personal style. It’s an expression of how you feel without saying anything. 

You girls know that Target is known for designer collaborations, from 3.1 Phillip Lim to Lilly Pulitzer. Remember I also reviewed Target’s beauty box last summer? There are always new things with the freshest trends at affordable prices popping up at Target every season. This season, Target added lots of new festival styles, from dark moody to bright and bold. You girls can definitely find something you like to elevate your personal style and update your spring wardrobe. :P 

Today, I’m so excited to share with you girls these two different festival looks I created with the new pieces I picked up from Target.

First Look: Festival Gone Moody

Romper: Mossimo

Swimwear: Xhilaration

I’m obsessed with the lace-up detail and the bell sleeve of the Mossimo romper. I layered an Xhilaration push-up bikini top underneath my Mossimo romper. Both items are super cool and affordable. This look adds more of a rock-n-roll feel to traditional boho festival looks. You girls can also layer different pieces to create a goth-chic festival look. I completed this look with black ankle booties, festival-style earrings and fringe clutches. I would totally rock this look at music festivals. 

Second Look: Festival Gone Decorated

Dress: Xhilaration (similar here) 

Swimwear: Mossimo

If you love colors and prints, then the second look is for you. I layered a Mossimo cut-out halter one-piece swimsuit underneath my Xhilaration dress. The swimsuit and my dress have pretty and very different prints, yet it’s still so fun to layer them together. It’s all about experimenting, and you will find certain things go surprisingly well together more so than you would have thought. :P BTW, there are also many other cool prints available. It’s a great look that you can just stay at home or travel somewhere in. 

For these two looks, you girls can also swap the swimwear underneath. They will go with the dress and rompers very well too. Besides what I have picked, Xhilaration and Mossimo have a wide-ranging selection of different festival pieces with laser-cut, macramé and pastel colors. 

This is my version of Festival Gone Moody and Festival Gone Decorated looks. Are you girls now excited to create your own festival styles at Target? Share these with your girlfriends and see how you would create your own very different festival styles, no matter if it’s dark or bright. You girls can even trade or exchange pieces from each other’s wardrobes to try different looks. Let me know what you end up creating, and don’t forget to share these looks using the hashtag #TargetStyle. : )

SUMMER BEAUTY BOX

Disclosure: This post is promoted by Target. The opinions expressed herein are those of the author.

Do you girls remember my Target Beauty box posts in spring? I couldn’t have been more excited to tell you girls that the summer beauty box from Target that I’ve been waiting for is finally here. This time the box comes in with 6 different items. Let’s take a look what’s inside first. 

From left to right, top to bottom. It has Crest 3D Whitestrips 1HR Express to instantly whitening your teeth. Fekkai Pre-Soleil Hair Mist contains UV filters to protect your hair from Sun damage, color fade and dehydration. Exactly what I needed after my new hair color. Olay Active Botanicals Moisturizer and Olay Active Botanicals Toner for my skin. Hair Food Moisturizing Mask, it’s a moisture hair mask infused with honey Apricot Fragrance, no wonder it smells so good. It provides rich moisture protection for smooth, manageable hair. Last one is the Cover Girl Supersizer Mascra. This summer I saw a lot of dramatic eye makeup from different runways like bold color eyeliner and cat eye. Today I will show you girls how to create this eye makeup look with the Cover Girl Supersizer Mascara. 

Step 1: Draw short and thin dashes of eyeliner across your lid until you have completed a straight line on the top. I like to start from the corner of the eye and to the end;  it makes my eye appear wider. The thicker this line, the more dramatic the cat eye will appear.

Step 2: For the bottom liner, I normally start around the middle or a quarter, draw the line and a little longer and up like a wing. 

Step 3: Connect the tip of your wing back into the eyeliner on the lid creating a triangle. Then go back to the eyeliner on the top to fill in the triangle. 

Step 4: Apply false lashes. 

Step 5: Use the Cover Girl Supersizer Mascara on both top and bottom eyelashes after you applied false lashes. Small tip here, bottom lashes are extremely important if you want your eyes to look bigger. When you girls use this Supersizer, to achieve the best result, slightly twirl the lash styler when you apply. The beauty of this mascara is also that you can apply as many coats as you want. You will be surprised that it provides a lot volume and I’m really happy with it. 

Like I mentioned to you girls before, beauty is very individual. You can draw this eyeliner thinner or thicker to create a cat eye that fits you the most. I hope this has been informative and inspiring to you girls. Don’t forget to try this look and the mascara, share it with your girls and have fun with it:) XO
