#NOTICETHELOTUS at Target in 2016… Derma e has arrived!

One of my favorite spots to hit up is Target. They have everything a girl could ever want. Am I right?

Rain or shine Target is my place to be.

No, I’m not exaggerating by an means. Every part of Target is my fave. From all the cute goodies from the Bulls Eye Playground where everything is priced from $1-$5 and a great spot for any stationary fiend. See my mini haul down below :)

Not to mention their home decor section which has been revamped and made into some pretty eye candy. Does anyone else want to buy everything?

I’m also currently switching over from my Bath and Body Works candle to Soy Candles which Target stocks plenty off! Thank you Tarjay for supporting my healthy and eco-conscious life goals!

Also, to no one’s surprise, their beauty section is one point! Its actually the most convenient spot for many of my cruelty-free cosmetic and body care needs…er and wants. 

So of course, I was stoked to learn that Dermae was expanding their beauty line at Target. 

For those new to Derma e, they are a cruelty free brand that makes skincare and treatment products packed with vitamins and  antioxidants that work to help you your skin to be its best. 

Derma e was also kind enough to send me their Firming DMAE Eye Lift and Firming DMAE Moisturizer to try out. First let me start off by saying,the big 3-0 is around the corner so I am more conscious about my skincare and my skin (aka wrinkles). In addition, I work two jobs and am in school part-time. So sleep deprivation happens more often than I would prefer and I don’t always have time for a morning beauty ritual with a gazillion products like the beauty gurus on youtube. So I want products that can multitask and deliver results in short amount of time. 

So I put these products to quick use as part of my night time ritual. During the day, I used a sunscreen but for two weeks these two products were the only things I used on my skin.

I quickly noticed, the dullness in my skin disappeared and my face seemed brighter. I looked more awake and fresh which isn't easy. The Firming DMAE Eye Lift also made a big difference under my eye area, smoothing out any fine lines. 

Below are the ingredients for the Firming DMAE Eye Lift:

Purified Water (Aqua), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Coco-Caprylate, Stearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Propanediol (Zemea®), Lycium Barbarum (Instalift® Goji) Fruit Extract, Glyceryl Stearate, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Diheptyl Succinate, Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Dimethyl MEA (DMAE), Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 (Matrixyl® synthe’6®), Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline®), Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid; Actimoist®Bio-1), Thioctic (Alpha-Lipoic) Acid, Panthenol (Provitamin B5), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C, Stay-C® 50), Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil* (.1%), Caffeine, Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.

Overall, I am really happy how these products worked for me and will put this on my shopping list for the next time I’m at Target. 

This retails for $17.49 which is a great deal when considering the quality of ingredients. This product is 100% vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, mineral oil-free, lanolin-free, gluten-free, GMO-free.
