I’m always eyes-wide-open for new products, ideas, routines, you name it.  You’ll probably find me perusing the beauty aisles of TJ Maxx on a weekly basis and hauling home some new skincare or makeup to try out.  Maybe no one else has the patience for the hodgepodge this section of the store tends to be, so today I am sharing the three things I’m trying from TJ Maxx right now.

Micro Needle Roller

I was thumb to chin and eyes glazed while reading the instructions:

Disinfect roller and area of the skin with alcohol prior to use. Disinfect with alcohol after use.

Of course, I followed the instructions, [I’m type A, remember?] and after one roll the needle and the need for disinfectant became crystal clear.  First impression: ouch! but in a hurts so good sort of way.  Just like the way your muscles are sore after a great workout and your feet hurt after a night of dancing in heels, I am hopeful the microneedle roller will leave the same lasting impression despite the pain.  What’s that phrase again?

StriVectin-AR Advanced Retinol Night Treatment 

You know what wincing in the summer sun will get you?  Deeper wrinkles.  Days spent in the pool and chasing my little ones around park is beginning to take it’s toll on my skin.  I spent a lot of time wrinkling my forehead, furrowing my brow and all while wearing shades that didn’t quite do the job.  I know I’m not the only one on the hunt for the perfect wrinkle-reducing solution so I picked up StriVectin-AR Advanced Retinol Night Treatment for $19.99 to review and report back to my wrinkled readers.

You’ll never catch me embracing wrinkles [especially in my 30s] with this effervescence:

Kill Brow Tinted Tattoo

As a redhead, I am plagued with incredibly light eyebrows and lashes, that only grow lighter in the sunshine and summertime.  Defining them has taken me decades to adjust to and now that I have, I am eager to master the perfect brow fill.

As seen in my Five-Minute Makeup Tutorial, I have been taming and darkening with Anastasia Beverly Hills Tinted Brow Gel.  Now that the tube is running low, I am looking for new products to try on for size.  I picked up this Kill Brow Tinted Tattoo for $7.99.  I’m not going to lie, the Amazon reviews are mixed, but I like to judge products for myself.  Living my best brow life is yet to be determined.

The Results

I am following up on these TJ Maxx Try & Buys the week of September 17th.  Set your reminder or subscribe.   The beauty arena of TJ Maxx is where I score big on brushes and maybe lose big on brows.  If this is your kind of series, let me know in the comments below. There are so many products on my list to try and giving honest reviews to readers is just icing on the blogger cake!

We are going to soak in what’s left of summer and hopefully, I’ll sneak in some time to shoot some new looks from Loft, Nordstrom, Target, and my favorite, TJ Maxx.  Speaking of new looks, check out Ooh La Laura stories on Instagram for the IRL stuff like try-ons, clearance rack scores and more.  Happy Friday – I hope you have a fantastic weekend!
