Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. *sheds a tear*
When I first heard about Target’s dissent from Canada, I was more than a little upset. I was actually devastated. As dramatic as that sounds, I honestly love Target to death. All of the different brands for clothing, makeup, and housewares (the list goes on) just kept me coming back. As much as this probably hurt Target, I always liked that it was not busy. I could do my shopping in peace without the Wal-Mart mania jostling me in every which way.
So when I heard that Target’s liquidation would be starting soon, I wanted to get out to the stores ASAP. I didn’t care about the liquidation sales, I just wanted to pick up what I wanted as soon as possible. I know I have said that I wanted to cut down on hauls, but I think this is an exception.
These might be some boring things, but here’s what I picked up (makeup wise).
1. Cotton Rounds
The main picture lies. I didn’t buy two packs of these. I bought eight. Excessive? Probably. So many people asked me why I bought so many of these. Wal-Mart, Shoppers, and more have these as well for a similar price so why Target? It’s mostly nostalgia. I remember when I first started to use cotton pads, I picked these up from Target. Ever since then, I’ve just been using these. So I thought, heck, might as well clear out the store. :p I guess I’ll have to venture into Wal-mart to get cotton pads now…
2. Sonia Kashuk Eye Makeup Remover
So the main picture doesn’t lie for these, I really only bought two. ;D The first time I tried this was in the States. I was soooo impressed with this, especially for the price. Since coming to Canada, I never actually bought one of these from Target! I always had another eye makeup remover on the rotation. Since I won’t be able to get this anymore, I thought I would grab two.
3. Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm Trio
I had not been able to try anything from Pixi, so I thought I should grab something before Target goes sayonara. My friend had tried the clear one (tube on the left) and really really liked it. I have tried the bright pink and the clear one so far and I am impressed. Very good quality lip balm! The only issue I have is the price. For these three, it cost around $17! I thought that was mighty expensive.
And that’s what I managed to pick up from Target. I didn’t go crazy on the NYX or e.l.f stuff as I notice that a lot of stores are selling them now. I wanted to pick up stuff I wouldn’t be able to get here anymore.
Did you end up going to Target and pick up anything nice? Are you waiting for the liquidation sales? Are you sad to see Target go?
Thanks for reading and hope you have a wonderful day!

Wow you got a lot of stuff! I love Target. I am living in the US right now and I will miss having it when I come back to Toronto. They have everything and it's all so affordable!
Yeah it's really too bad! You're lucky you still can access it! I see myself planning a lot of trips to the states in the near future!
I really want to try those Pixi lip balms but $17 is crazy for 3 lip balms!
I'm excited for the liquidation sales! I have a gift card that I need to use up soon (though it only has $2 on it lol). Honestly, I wasn't a fan of Target Canada, but maybe it's because I didn't go that often. Looking back though, I did get some good deals (like my iPod, some L'Oreal makeup & crazy cheap Maybelline mascaras). Those gift cards drove me in 😛
Yeah it's a bit of a sticker shock. Buck I guess when you divide it by 3 it's about $6 which isn't terrible I guess. I would say if you're looking to try them, get them! Yes, luckily you don't have a lot on the card. That would suck if you didn't get to use it. I noticed they did have a lot of those promotions for gift cards.
I can't believe we frequent the same Target but have never met each other???? We should just meet up at Target instead LOL 😐
But yeah, I was devastated when I heard the news ;-; I MEAN, WHERE ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO GO EVERY WEEK NOW? I guess Target's retreat from Canada is kinda encouraging me to finally get my G license so I can go to the American Target…hah.
Yeah I know right? Haha.
Honestly right? I'm so not feeling all of these haters on Target today. I honestly will always love Target.
