Haul: Target Canada has e.l.f!

I read on Smart Canucks the other day that Target Canada has e.l.f now! Can I get a what whattt?

My friend and I hit up our local Target yesterday and lo and behold, they had it!

For those that don’t know, e.l.f is an American makeup brand with the craziest prices ever ($1-$10 for most things). Back in the day, you used to be able to ship e.l.f to Canada semi-decently priced, but not any more. My friend and I were gonna make an order around Christmas time and the shipping was just insane. For $20 worth of product, we had to pay something like $20 worth of shipping. Um, no thanks.

The selection in Target isn’t as vast as on their website (as expected by me). Some people might be disappointed to see that Target isn’t carrying the $1 products and only the Studio Line things (more pricy items). This was fine with me though, because they had products I’ve been eying for a long time.

Everything I saw on the display was either $4 or $8, so not as great as the States, but I still think they’re a great price.

Here are the things I picked up:

1. e.l.f Eye Refresh

Price: $4 CAD
This is a roller ball tube that you use underneath your eyes to lessen the appearance of dark circles. I honestly don’t know how well (if at all) this will work, but I thought I would give it a try. I have pretty gnarly dark circles so anything that might help right?

2. e.l.f Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder

Price: $4 CAD
I finallllyyy got it. The most touted dupe for NARS Orgasam/ Laguna. I’ve never actually tried the Orgasam or Laguna duo, but this will probably be good enough for me. It has very fine glitter in it, which I wasn’t expecting, but it’s nothing over the top. I tried it today and already really love it!

3.  e.l.f Lip Exfoliator

Price: $4 CAD
This was something I’ve been looking to get for a very long time. I love the idea of it being in a lipstick tube so in my mind that means easier application. I’ve been looking to try some different lip scrubs for awhile, but the ones at Lush just seem over priced. Hopefully this one delivers, we shall see.

4. e.l.f Kabuki Face Brush

Price: $8 CAD
This was the only thing in my haul that was over $4. I have no idea why Kabuki brushes are always more expensive than other brushes. More hair I guess? But I actually don’t own a Kabuki brush so I thought I would give this one a try. I have all of the e.l.f studio line brushes so I think this will make a nice addition to those. 🙂

5. e.l.f Blush in Tickled Pink

 

Price: $4 CAD
I was really drawn to this colour and I think a lot of other people were too because there were only a few left of these! A really soft pink with no sparkle. I’m excited to see how this will wear.

And there we have it! I’m super excited with everything I got. I’m so so glad e.l.f is in Canada now and even happier that I didn’t pay for that ridiculous shipping from the online store.

Thanks for reading, and hope you have a great day!
