Target is always my source of weakness. I mean isn't it everyone's? I avoid going to Target as much as possible because I get too sucked in. Between food, music, books, and of course beauty, Target is my place of happiness.

My Target is a 5 minute drive from me and it's awfully dangerous.

It's mostly dangerous because the beauty aisle is the first thing I see when I walk in. Target really is the best place to get beauty and skincare, in my opinion. Target is a tad bit cheaper than regular drugstores and they have a wider selection. I always find different brands and a bigger selection, which is always a plus.

This year, one of my favorite higher end drugstore skincare brands is launching at Target.

DermaE is a fabulous brand that I've discovered in the past few months. I got a scrub by them in my Ipsy or Birchbox a few months back and went through it very quickly. I got another scrub in another Birchbox more recently and have been loving it.

When I found out they were going to be launching at Target, I was super excited because my favorite store + one of my favorite brands=heaven.

Never heard of DermaE? Well.... they use vitamins and plants to create healthy, good for you skincare. They call it "green chemistry" and are cruelty free which I can always appreciate.

I have very sensitive skin and I find that DermaE is one of the only brands that I don't react negatively too.



One of the products that is available right now at your Target stores is the DermaE Firming Eye Lift. If you've been following me for a while you know that I have a thing for eye creams (I'll have a post about that up soon) and this is a really great drugstore eye cream. It has a very smooth, moisturizing texture and isn't heavy at all! I hate nothing more than a heavy eye cream and this is the total opposite of that.


It claims that the creme will lift, firm, and tighten the skin around your eyes. I'm only 23 years old so I don't need to worry too much about those issues yet but I still do like using this creme. I usually use it in the morning because as I said, it's very light and soaks into the skin almost immediately.

The creme also contains Hyaluronic Acid which provides a slight cooling effect, which is my favorite effect of any skincare product.

I also received some sample packets of other DermaE products

I received the eye creme from DermaE, along with their Hydrating Night Creme which I have been obsessed with. I love a heavy, duty night creme in the winter and this provides some serious moisture. When I'm feeling extra dry, this leaves my skin instantly hydrated and smooth. It definitely has a heavier consistency so definitely only use it at night!

These two products from DermaE, featured at Target, are only fueling my love for the brand. I hope you all #NoticeTheLotus at Target this year and try at least one product from DermaE!

A few months ago, I received some products from InstaNatural and have been testing them out since then. I have a lot of hair and skincare products so I'm always alternating between them, hence the reason this review is super late.

Also, because my skin was acting up, I had to stop using one of the serums I received, just to see if it was irritating my skin (it wasn't)

InstaNatural is an all organic skincare brand that has everything from mud masks to face serums to essential oils. I've been obsessed with skincare lately so I thought it'd be cool to try out some organic, natural products. I am always a little weary of trying brands I've never used but so far so good.

The products I received were an Argan Oil Hair Mask, Argan Oil, and a Vitamin C Serum.



I've heard so many incredible things about what Argan Oil does for your hair and skin so I knew I wanted to try it. I had a small sample bottle of Argan Oil from a Birchbox and I used it to nourish my cuticles so I was really excited to have a huge bottle to use for different things.

I've been using the Argan Oil from InstaNatural really only on my cuticles because I forget to use it for other things (#bloggerfail) and it does an incredible job. I will say that my mom has been using this religiously and has gone through half the bottle. She's obsessed and uses it for everything. She uses it to shave her legs and slathers it on as an in shower moisturizer. It really is an all in one product.

The Vitamin C Serum I have been using sparingly. This is supposed to brighten your skin, even out your skin tone, and fight the signs of aging. It's combined with other oils such as Argan, Rosehip, Sea Buckthorn, and many more. It's very light in texture and melts into your skin. I use this every so often (mostly because I'm afraid of adding anything else into my skincare routine) but I never notice an irritation. I do however, notice that my skin does look more even and bright after a few days of using this. A Vitamin C serum is a definite A+ in my book and should be incorporated as best as possible.

Now for the Argan Oil Hair Mask... this I was not too pleased with (my mother is though). It made my hair feel goopy, dry, and brittle. It didn't leave my hair soft and honestly made my hair feel dirty. I used it once and that's it but my mom started using it and loves it. She says it makes her hair easier to brush and a lot softer. That goes to show you that different products affect everyone differently.

Conclusion... InstaNatural has some amazing products and I think I'll be trying out some more soon. All organic products are really great and oils do wonders for your skin!
