Target Beauty Box Advent Calendar Arrives November 3rd for Holiday 2019

The Target Beauty Box Advent Calendar for Holiday 2019 arrives at target.com starting November 3rd. I have a really serious question. Is anyone ready for the Holidays yet? I haven’t even really enjoyed Fall yet. Sheesh! I feel like it’s going to be one of those seasons where everything rushes by yet again! Remember when you were a kid and it took ages and ages for the seasons to change and the holidays to arrive? As an adult I feel like it all rushes by so very quickly!

I’m sort of in a Bah Humbug type of mood lately because I just want to enjoy Fall! It’s my favorite season! Let me take it in before shoving Santa and Christmas Trees down my throat.

Anywayyyyyyyyyy, at least Target’s Beauty Box Advent Calendar isn’t launching in October. That’s something right?

Curious about the contents?

Jump ahead!

Violet Voss Oh Snap Gingerbread Fun Sized Mini Eyeshadow Palette Takes On Too Faced

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Could the new Violet Voss Oh Snap Gingerbread Fun Sized Mini Eyeshadow Palette be a nice little dupe of Too Faced’s Extra Spicy Gingerbread Eyeshadow Palette? Hmmmm! Looks like it doesn’t it? This cute little palette features 10 0.04 oz eyeshadows in matte, foil, metallic and satin finishes. The shades are rich coppers, browns, and cranberries that look a lot like ones we’ve seen in the Extra Spicy Gingerbread Palette but I have this feeling the might be even more pigmented than the Too Faced’s formula. And good news for those put off by scented palette as unlike the Too Faced Palette there is no scent so you can enjoy your gingerbread inspired shades without the novelty of fragrance.

I’m torn about this one because I actually really want to give it a try but I feel like I have dupes of all these shades in the Extra Spicy Palette already! Do I really need to spend $18 on another palette that I can probably easily dupe? My illogical says yes but my logical side says no! Of course, my illogical side typically wins in cases of makeup purchasing.

Sigh.

Violet Voss Oh Snap Gingerbread Fun Sized Mini Eyeshadow Palette is available now at Sephora.

Speaking of cookies…! I made homemade chocolate chip cookies like a real life adult last night. You see I can burn boiling water without even trying! I’m not much of a chef nor a baker! But the last year or so I’ve decided I needed to be more adult in the kitchen. I made the cookies from scratch and they didn’t come out half bad! I even purchased a cooling rack all Martha Stewart-like! The first round I sprayed my pan with a little cooking spray but it burned the bottom of the cookies. So, I goggled a little and headed to the store for parchment paper. Turns out that’s the trick to the perfect cookie! I put a piece of the paper on the tray, popped my cookie dough on it, set it to back, and perfect cookies! No burns!

I’m proud of myself. I’m finally adulting! I should try gingerbread men next right?

4 stars out of 5

Colourpop Drop of a Hat Super Shock Cheek is one of six new blushes that launched with the Colourpop Whatever Eyeshadow Palette. I got all six shades of the blush when I purchased the Call It Whatever Vault and I don’t regret the purchase at all! These are so my shades and they feel so very Fall which I’ve really been missing with all these Holiday releases that skipped right over the Fall season!

Let’s take a look at my thoughts on the Colourpop Drop of the Hat Super Shock Cheek below.
