I gotta hand it to Target for keeping things fresh, and I don’t just mean in the produce aisle (ba-dum-bum cha!). They’re always trying new things and partnering with new designers and lines, like the limited-edition products and regional boutique brands showcased in The Shops at Target.
There’s Boston’s Polka Dog Bakery (biscuits and bones for good dogs, good dogs!), Connecticut’s Privet House (vintage, bohemian-chic curiosities, antiques and home decor), San Francisco’s The Candy Store (sweet treats in glass jars), Miami’s The Webster (home of Miami’s passion for très chic fashion) and Aspen’s luxurious Cos Bar (where Aspen flirts with fake lashes).
The Cos Bar at Target collection features affordable, limited-edition body care products, bath accessories, beauty tools, manicure essentials and cosmetic bags — all for under $20 each.
Haven’t been able to see the Cos Bar collection in person yet? Well, maybe we can take care of that now. 🙂
Enter now (it only takes a comment and/or tweet), and you could be one of 10 lucky ladies or gents to win a selection of Cos Bar at Target products valued at $22.
- One (1) package of False Eyelashes ($9)
- One (1) Pair of Tweezers in Green ($4)
- One (1) Body Butter in Orange Citrus ($6)
- One (1) Mini Nail Polish in Purple ($3)
- There are two ways to enter, and you can do both of them for two chances to win. First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post, a comment about anything at all, like, are you down with cosplay? What’s the game plan for tonight? When was the last time you went to a drugstore specifically to buy makeup? Do you prefer body butters or body lotions? What’s your favorite drugstore makeup/beauty brand? — you get the idea.
- Second, you can enter by following me on
Twitter @karenmbb and retweeting (RT) the following message:
- Follow @karenmbb and RT to Win a Selection of Beauty Goodies From Cos Bar at Target [10 WINNERS] http://bit.ly/K8RvrO
- The deadline to enter is Sunday, June 17, 2012 at 11:59PM (PT).

- A maximum of two (2) entries per person — one within the comments at the bottom of this post, and a second entry via Twitter addressed to me @karenmbb.
- Contest is open to individuals of the US who have reached the age of majority according to their local laws (18 in the United States with these exceptions: Alabama and Nebraska, 19; Mississippi, 21).
- Tabs and I (heretofore referred to as “T-Money and K-Dawg”) will select ten (10) winners at random from the entries either left in the comments at the bottom of this blog post or addressed to @karenmbb on Twitter.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

June 15th, 2012 at 8:11 pmWhen I was at Target the other day I saw this brand and was wondering if it was new because I had never seen it before.
jaymie says

Joy says
June 15th, 2012 at 9:18 pmI’m not huge into cosplay but I love dressing up for themes. I do a lot of volunteer stuff and various events will have different themes. I’m always dressing up for those and going the extra mile for most.

June 15th, 2012 at 9:37 pmWhenever I go to a drugstore I always check out the makeup section first then try to remember why I’m really there. Nothing makes my day like finding a new display!

ceci says
June 15th, 2012 at 11:45 pmI’ve no experience using false lashes. I wonder if their popularity will make volumizing mascara redundant in the future.
Vanessa says
June 16th, 2012 at 12:25 amMy sister graduates from High School on Tuesday. So weird, she grew up so fast! I cant handle it hehe 😀
Quinctia says
June 16th, 2012 at 12:46 amI love seeing what cosplay people come up with!
I think my favorite DS brand is a tie between Physician’s Formula and Milani. PF has a lot of great powders, and Milani does great lippies and eye pencils.
Heather says
June 16th, 2012 at 1:47 amI’ve never tried cosplay myself, but I love seeing how people put together their own costumes 🙂
blkrox says
June 16th, 2012 at 1:50 amSometimes it seems like the ONLY reason I go to the drugstore is to buy makeup, LoL

Nalina M says
June 16th, 2012 at 9:53 amI love seeing new drugstore brands pop up. It’s nice to have an affordable and well-performing alternative to the high-end brands. I’ve been super surprised with Revlon lately and how well their products perform. Maybe Cos Bar is another one?!

Liz says
June 16th, 2012 at 12:00 pmIt’s impossible for me to avoid the makeup and beauty section when I step foot in Target!
Amanda says
June 16th, 2012 at 12:11 pmI’ve never done cosplay. I went to work last night and got home early! 🙂
Betony says
June 16th, 2012 at 12:16 pmI bought the cos bar blueberry face wipes. Mmmmmm, smells soooo good!
Sunita Magar says
June 16th, 2012 at 12:18 pmTruth be told, I was never interested in doing cosplay. :/ But, I totally dig the hair colors! PINK! BLUE! PLATINUM BLONDE! ;D (Because I have boring black hair which I have never dyed before for fear of damaging it) Maybe, I will get a wig in one of these colors one day. 🙂
Also, I am a makeup newbie. If only I could get my hands on this kit to play around with…
Tina says
June 16th, 2012 at 12:32 pmOur gameplan for tonight is to take our two kids to the beach for the evening. There’s an awesome boardwalk there with tons of rides and games to play. We’ll get you’re typical boardwalk food like funnel cake or ice cream and just make it a fun family night.

Enjoy your evening.
Avery says
June 16th, 2012 at 4:07 pmI bought a nail file from this line and then accidentally threw it away! Very sad.
Mary says
June 16th, 2012 at 4:21 pmCosplay is one of my favorite things to do! There’s nothing more fun than completely absorbing the personality of another character, especially one that’s really a fan-favorite. My go-to cosplay is a female Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7. I choose to make the character feminine to make it more unique, and it’s such fun seeing people’s reaction to their favorite character.
Andrea says
June 16th, 2012 at 4:26 pmhi Karen and Tabs! I just moved to LA last month and it’s super hot. I’ve become way too addicted to MAC’s Fix +!

Madelynn says
June 16th, 2012 at 6:40 pmCosplay is kinda odd. But I do love renaissance faires.
Danielle says
June 16th, 2012 at 6:58 pmCosplay can be cool, but it can also be those weird 300 pound guys in tights who haven’t showered in a week. Yes, I have been to ComicCon.
Tania says
June 16th, 2012 at 7:11 pmI love body butters over lotions. My current favorite and has been for a while is Yes to Carrots brand from target. Love the texture and smell of it.
Janelle says
June 16th, 2012 at 9:19 pmI’m always down for dressing up in costume! If I have an awesome costume planned, I would definitely wear it. 🙂
Xochil says
June 16th, 2012 at 11:19 pmI love body butters, they work better on my dry patches than lotion.
Erica K says
June 16th, 2012 at 11:54 pmimma have to get me some of those lashes! i also want to try their cleansing wipes, saw them on their website with their awesome leopard design
Bonnie says
June 17th, 2012 at 1:08 amI don’t usually go to the drugstore for the express purpose of buying cosmetics, but I sure do love looking (and sometimes buying!) while I’m there.
Liz G. says
June 17th, 2012 at 7:11 amI’ve been to Aspen twice and visited the Cos Bar each time. It is a great store so I was really excited to hear about the mini-line at Target.
Liz says
June 17th, 2012 at 7:19 amI listen to my skin when it comes to choosing between body butter and body lotion. If it’s on the dryer side it gets butter, and if it only needs a little help it gets lotion.
Janet says
June 17th, 2012 at 7:23 amOhhhh, what a cool giveaway! I’ve been wanting to play with falsies lately. This is perfectly up my alley! Thanks, Karen! 😀

June 17th, 2012 at 1:39 pmI also go to the drugstore for a MU fix quite often! We don’t have a Sephora in my town. Maybe that is a good thing though…at least for my wallet!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Liz says
June 17th, 2012 at 1:52 pmI gotta say after purchasing a few high end mascaras, I just love Jordana mascara at Walgreens and really don’t need to look further.

SANDY says
June 17th, 2012 at 4:35 pmI go to the drugstore just to see what is new in makeup- so many great items and fun to shop when you can afford and no one is pushing a makeover on you
Lori says
June 17th, 2012 at 4:43 pmGame plan for tonight is to watch Game 3 of the NBA finals between OKC and Miami and hope we win. (I’m from OKC). THUNDER UP!
Carolyn N. says
June 17th, 2012 at 5:43 pmRecently discovered body butters! They’re amazing!
Larie says
June 17th, 2012 at 6:03 pmI rarely go to a drugstore just to buy makeup, but I always make my way to the beauty aisle just to “see what’s new!” I think my favorite drugstore brand is Milani, or maybe Revlon 😉
