Our love for the super-store Target cannot be summed up in a few paragraphs (although,
this gif
does a pretty good job encompassing all of our feelings). We've spent
many weekends aimlessly walking up and down the aisles, debating whether
we
really need those throw pillows, that newly on-sale candle, or that skirt from the latest designer collaboration.
Simply
put: The big-box store has an impressive plethora of products to choose
from, and if you've taken a trip to one recently, you probably noticed
that it's slowly but surely becoming a beauty mecca, too.
Target's natural
hair-care selection has grown significantly over the years, and
they've added well-known brands from as far as Paris and as close as
Brooklyn. But, these new additions might have flown under the radar if
you weren't on the lookout for them. Ahead, we've rounded up the best
beauty buys from Tarjay — so pick up one of those big, red carts and
shop away to your heart's delight.
This cream from
Brooklyn-based brand S.W. Basics includes three (and, only three) of the
most moisturizing ingredients out there: shea butter, coconut oil, and
olive oil. It's guaranteed to nourish and deeply absorb into even the
thirstiest of skin. And, judging from the cruel winter most of the U.S.
is having, we could all benefit from a jar — or two.
S.W. Basics Cream, $32, available at
Target.
With the surprising
number of big-name, natural hair products Target carries — SheaMoisture,
Carol's Daughter, and Miss Jessie's, to name a few — Curls is one you
might not gravitate to right away. But, you should. The brand is not
only effective in warding off frizz, but seriously budget-friendly. You
can use its Crème Brule for coil definition, along with adding
much-needed moisture for the textured-haired girls out there.
CURLS Creme Brule, $10.99, available at
Target.
Lydia Mondavi's 29
was inspired by the beauty of California's Napa Valley, and consequently
our favorite drink to indulge in — wine. Its Secret of the Vine Serum
Extract helps fight signs of aging and enrich the skin with antioxidant
grape seed, and olive and algae extracts.
29 by Lydia Mondavi Secret of the Vine Serum Extract, $24, available at
Target.
We've waxed poetic about
Laneige's BB Cushion
on many occasions. But, let us drill it into your heads once more: It’s
damn good. It doesn’t come in the widest range of shades (just light,
medium, and dark), but the coverage is ideal for those looking for a
lighter, more natural look.
Don’t stop at the BB cushions,
though. Target also carries a good number of skin-care products from the
sister brand of the oh-so-popular
AmorePacific.
And, it's one of the few brick-and-mortar spots where you can find
these Korean goodies, so may we suggest stocking up in bulk during your
next trip?
Laneige BB Cushion, $34, available at
Target.
A cult classic among beauty lovers and
insiders
alike, this popular French product has all the hype surrounding it for a
reason. Its acne-fighting formula helps ward off blemishes, reduce
scars, and make pores appear smaller.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Dual Action Acne Treatment, $25.99, available at
Target.
One of Target's new natural hair-care additions, this two-in-one shampoo and body wash contains
carcinogenic-free ingredients that you can safely use on your head and body. Attitude 2 in 1 Shampoo and Body Wash, $10, available March 1 at
Target.
Many will probably be
surprised to learn that Target stocks such a cult-classic favorite as
Weleda's Skin Food. But, believe it people. You can scoop up the
moisturizing cream online alongside that coffee maker you've been on the
fence about.
Weleda Skin Food, $13.59, available at
Target.
This lightweight,
fast-absorbing plumping cream is another Asian beauty import worth
investing in. The high concentration of hyaluronic acid helps penetrate
the skin while providing it with bounce and youthfulness.
Hada Labo Skin Plumping Gel Cream and Perfecting Serum, $18.99, available at
Target.
This pure argan oil
is a multi-use product (for hair, face, body, or all of the above)
that's high on our must-haves list. It's rich in vitamin E, proteins,
and essential fatty acids, and hydrates without clogging pores.
Acure Organics Argan Oil 100% USDA Organic Moroccan, $12.99, available at
Target.
This London-based brand is not only extremely popular across the pond
and
in the States, but all of its products have skin-care benefits, which
we can completely get down with. This concealer is great for those
on-the-go ladies who need an instantly rested look — a fake good night's
sleep, if you will. Now, we're just waiting for Target to get Pixi's
much-adored toner in stock and we'll be set.
Pixi Correction Concentrate Brightening Peach, $12, available at
Target.
Hopping on the wave
of new cleansing conditioners on the market, this new-to-Target product
is a shampoo-conditioner hybrid. The coconut oil and shea butter help
repair damage, restore strength, and remove dirt.
Renpure Solutions Sweet Pomegranate Conditioner, $6.99, available at
Target.
Crow's feet,
wrinkles, and fine lines don't stand a chance against this hydrating eye
cream. It helps lift, firm, and brighten the skin around the eyes.
MD Complete Anti-Aging Eye Wrinkle Remover, $28.99, available at
Target.
Beauty junkies adore
this luxe French balm. The honey, plant oil, and grapefruit essence
make it one of the biggest saviors of chapped lips out there.
Nuxe Reve de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm, $19, available at
Target.
If you're a fan of
Bioderma's magic makeup-removing qualities, you'll love Vichy's calming
cleanser. The water-based formula is enriched with soothing rose
phytophenol and helps take off makeup in one fell swoop.
Vichy Purete Thermale Calming Cleansing Micellar Solution, $17.49, available at
Target.
Great for all hair
types, this shampoo — rich in vitamins E and K, and coconut oil — leaves
hair moisturized and aids in detangling. The best part: It contains no
sulfates or parabens, and is cruelty-free. Natural products FTW.
SoapBox Bataua Fruit Oil Shampoo, $4.99, available at
Target.
The 61-year-old
Dessange Paris is another French cult brand to put on your radar
(Brigitte Bardot was even a regular client of founder Jacques Dessange!)
Its color-correcting creme, exclusive to Target, is a dream for all of
the color-treated blondes out there. Formulated with linseed oil and
blue pigments, it helps nourish and protect hair color.
Dessange Paris California Blonde Brass Color Correcting Creme, $11.99, available at
Target.
