I happen to be an Etsy junkie. In particular, I’m a fan of seeking out new indie perfume oils and fragrances to try out. It’s a passion of mine and a very expensive obsession. I also like discovering new Indie beauty and makeup brands on Etsy and just generally enjoy Indie products.

I started the Etsy Discoveries category a few years ago to introduce reader’s to some of my favorite stores. Sadly, since mainstream makeup, beauty, and fragrance dominates on my blog I haven’t updated this category in a while even though I’m always shopping something new in the world of Indie beauty.

One of my New Year’s resolutions was to include more Indie beauty brands on Musings. So far, I’ve failed at it sadly but I thought I’d give you a head’s up on some exciting releases to look out for tomorrow to redeem myself!

Ugh I still can’t use strobe, strobing, or fleek in a sentence. I’m trying though!

Kinda?

How am I doing?

Do I sound cool or just idiotic? We’re friends, you can be honest with me.

None the less the strobing trend is here to stay (at least temporarily because lord knows I thought jellies and pop beads were going to be around forever and I ask WHERE ARE THEY NOW?)

So get your strobe on without spending a ton of cash with these new products launching at drugstores now!

Target started carrying Laneige in 2014 and much to my delight I’m seeing a small selection of Mizon popping up at Target.com.

I love how mainstream Korean beauty, makeup, and skincare is starting to become within US stores. I adore the fact that hopefully one day I can just venture into Target stores and get my Mizon fix.

That’s priceless.

I’ll keep you updated as more info becomes available about Mizon arriving at Target.
