I pick up a lot of smaller versions or trial sizes of products before I give in to buy the full size. These are two things that I will definitely be buying full size. 
Redken All Soft heavy cream is the first, I got this for free at Ulta when they were having a sale on the full size pump bottles of Redken shampoo/conditioners. It is a leave in conditioner treatment that you put on after shampooing while your hair is still wet, leave it in for 10 minutes and then wash it out. The ends of my hair are dry because I have naturally blonde hair and end up having to dye it all the time to maintain it so I was really excited when I got this. It is quite possibly the best deep conditioner I have used. Before this I used the  Pantene beautiful lengths deep conditioner, which is still great, but this one beats it out. 
The full size version is around $17 and the mini versions are $5
Matrix wonder boost root lifter is a spray on volumizer that you use before blow drying. I never really like these because every single one I have tried hasn't really done much, but this was free so I gave it a shot. I still have so much left in the little bottle and I have used it every time I style my hair, so I know the full size will last forever. You can control the amount of volume you want, the more you put on the more volume you get. It never makes your hair sticky or hard and the style lasts.

While Christmas shopping I couldn't resist picking up some new beauty items (you can never leave Target with only what you came for). So here we go!

Herbal Essences Honey I'm Strong Conditioner-It smelled good and I've been looking for a new conditioner so I thought I'd try it out!
Garnier Sleek & Shine Hairspray-This is my go to hairspray, doesn't leave hair hard or sticky but holds the style and keeps humidity away
Redken Smooth Lock heat glide protectant-My hair stylist used this on me and it made my hair super soft so of course I bought full size
Neutrogena clear pore cleanser/mask-I used this way back in middle school and it worked so I thought I would try it out again
Johnsons Melt away stress lotion-Just a random little lotion that looked nice, smells good too!
Neutrogena Makeup removing wipes-My go to remover wipes
Pixi nail color trio (limited edition)-This looked pretty and I'd been looking for some glitter polish
Pixi endless silky eye pen-I have been meaning to buy this for a while now and finally caved, really hope it's worth the $15
Neutrogena Healthy Skin foundation-My old foundation was starting to break me out so hopefully this one doesn't. I've heard great things so my hopes are high
NP set lip balm with benefits-Saw this in a magazine tutorial for red lips and it looked nice so I picked it up, review to come
Eucerin skin calming creme-Another little lotion
OPI ridge filler-For some reason my nails are in bad shape lately so nail polish doesn't look very good, hopefully this helps
St. Ives green tea scrub-I've used the apricot scrub before but I wanted to try something new so this one it was, plus it smells so good!
Nivea creme-perfect little hand creme for winter and purse friendly
Revlon nail polish in Vixen and Scandalous-Pretty dark winter shades. Scandalous is a dark purple and black glitter shade while Vixen is a dark red wine purple
Ardell 305 and 135 false lashes+Duo lash adhesive-I've never used false lashes before so I figured I'd get some cheap ones to start off with
Exfoliating cotton pads-I heard these take off more makeup than the normal ones so here's hoping!
Plus some other little bits shown in the pictures. I'm planning on doing reviews of some of the stuff so look out for those.
