Scan That Bad Boy

I'm on Spring Break this week so Justin and I decided to crack down on wedding planning. On the top of our list? Starting our Wedding Registry! So today we headed on over to my first love, Target, to get going.

The moment we were handed the hand scanner, it went downhill. I'm surprised we didn't scan every single thing in the store. Our motto? "Someone's going to want to get us this!" I'm pretty sure today's festivities has been, hands down, my favorite part of wedding planning. Here are some things we added to the list:

Obviously, a KitchenAid Mixer! Justin said it was too expensive for our register to which I gasped and replied, "A KitchenAid Mixer is on the top of EVERY wedding registry!"Am I right ladies, or am I right?

The most adorable Beverage Dispenser with a chalkboard label. This thing is screaming for some Sweet Tea. I need this. Like yesterday...

Oh, just a cookwear set -- because you kinda really do need it. Not so exciting...

Our list told us to register for a digital camera, so we did. I really wanted a DSLR, but Justin told me no one's going to buy us a $500 camera -- sigh. So we settled for this cutie. Perfect for taking with us on our honeymoon.

We registered for all white, porcelain dishware -- clean and classic. We went a little crazy in that aisle, scanning every white porcelain dish we could find.

Some of the things Justin took upon himself to scan....

But only one racquet.

What was your favorite item on your wedding registry?

Product Review and Giveaway

Ever since I began blogging, I have heard nothing but amazing things about the cosmetic line, e.l.f., especially from one of my favorite bloggers The Bargain Blonde. e.l.f. Cosmetics is an extremely affordable product line that can be found at stores like Target, K Mart, and Walmart, and also has an online store that features the entire cosmetic collection. And when I say e.l.f. is extremely affordable, I mean it! Almost all of e.l.f. Cosmetics are under $10, and a majority of their products range from $1-$3! If you've never tried e.l.f. products before, you're probably skeptical like I was. How can a product so cheap be any good? Oh, let me tell you...they're amazing!

Recently, while going on an unnecessary shopping spree at Target, I picked up e.l.f. Studio Cream Eyeliner in black for $3. I had never tried a cream eyeliner before, but at $3, I couldn't pass it up! I've tried Smashbox's cream eyeliner at Sephora before, but I couldn't begin to justify spending $22 on eyeliner! Anywhooo, I took this bad boy home, and immediately fell in love.

This cream eyeliner claims to be long lasting, and let me tell you, it really is. The first day I wore it, it went through the test of all tests. I'm talking a 100+ degree weather, no air conditioning for 8 hours while taking care of toddlers, humidity and sweat galore kind of test. And the results? My eyeliner looked exactly the same as when I put it on 16 hours earlier! No smudges, fading, or running!

This cream eyeliner is extremely pigmented, which I love, and super easy to apply. Using the precision eyeliner brush that comes with it, you can easily create a thin or bold line! And because I love this cream eyeliner so much, I am giving away an e.l.f. Studio Cream Eyeliner in Black to one lucky reader! But that's not all! Because I love Target so much, the winner will also receive a $15 Target gift card that can be used to stock up on some amazing e.l.f products! Use Rafflecopter below to enter. This giveaway ends Monday, July 16th at midnight EST, so get your entries in! Good luck!
