Last month I purchased some shoes from Target and I just wanted to share with you.....









FIRST THOUGHT:
I ordered the black sequined ones because I wanted a black flat with a little something extra. I figured I would give these a try since they were definitely in my price range.

As for the tan shoes....Although they are cheaper now, my size is no longer available so I have no regrets on purchasing when they were a few dollars more. The reason behind the purchase is that I wanted a nude shoe. These shoes were the perfect nude for my complexion and they are sooo freaking comfortable!


FIT:
As far as fit goes I could have gone down a size. Previous experience with Target shoes made me order the larger size. I should have known better since these shoes were flats and not heels. But I did not return them as they are not too big where it would bother me. They don't slip off my feet at all. I really think I am a 10.5 in shoes but that size is sooooooo unbelievably rare that I either purchase a 10 or 11.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
I would definitely recommend purchasing the shoes. I would also take a look at all of the other clearance shoes. The tan shoes come in brown and black as well. The black sequin flats come in a blue color.

Say ‘hello’ to Clarisonic Mia

Kit Includes


Cordless Clarisonic Mia

Compact pLink® International Charger

Sensitive Brush Head

1 oz. trial size Gentle Hydro Cleanser



The clarisonic is rechargeable. The i-Skin takes 2 AA batteries and the system itself is not rechargeable. Also the clarisonic's brush head rotates while the i-Skin vibrates

Please keep in mind that I have never tried the Clarisonic....

I would have to say that as of right now I would definately reccomend getting the i-Skin instead of spending a load of money on the clarisonic. I've used the system twice and my face feels so different. I never knew it could be this clean...sad but true. It really exfoliates without being harse on your skin. The bristles are so soft that I didn't think it would clean my face but boy was I wrong! In only two days my face looks and feels smoother. A regular wash cloth just can't do it!
