Target REDcard

If you are a junkie for Target like I am (the Red Dot Boutique as I like to call it) then you need to get the REDcard!  It's linked to your checking account & you use it as a debit card, not credit, BUT you will save 5% on each and every transaction!!!!  For me, a 5% savings is just shy of tax! It excites me because it's not a credit card so there's no interest accruing & I can save a little bit of $$$$.  Also, Target donated 1% of your REDcard purchases to your favorite eligible school!

To apply, go to target.com or head out to your local Target store!

The only negative...the REDcard is currently not accepted at target.com, but I am certain Target will set that up soon!!!

Happy Targeting!

The Falsies - Mascara by Maybelline New York (water proof)

Those of you who know me well know that I am completely obsessed with my eye lashes.  Budget permitting, I will try any new mascara on the market - regular or water proof.  Since I cry every time I laugh and I laugh ALL the time, it is important for me to find the perfect water proof mascara.  That being said, I want a water proof mascara that is easily removed with soap/water or cold cream so I don't have to pull out my dainty lil' lashes while trying to remove the mascara.

I have recently tried The Falsies by Maybelline (water proof).  This mascara goes on smoothly with very few clumps.  I LOVE the wand - it has fantastic coverage for the upper lashes.  There is a down side though...saying this mascara is water proof is the understatement of the year.  WHOA!  I could seriously attend a wedding, funeral, birth, baptism, improv, movie and a water park all in one day & still have plenty of mascara left on my eyes for the week.  It takes me 2 days to remove this mascara, so I have set it aside as my "emergency mascara".
