Surely I can't be the only one that this has happened to. Last week I was looking for a new pressed foundation, and came upon this new brand being sold at Target. Super-cute packaging (makes a difference, right??), catchy brand-name (I'm sure, directly proportional to the quality of the product!). Funny though...no where to be found were any prices for any of the Pixi products. I usually use Mary Kay, which is generally $14 or so. Surely this would be in the same price-neighborhood...surely. So, without a second-thought, I took my one and ONLY purchase up to check out. 
The cashier happily informs me "That will be $37.93 ma'am"
Are you serious?? $40 for pressed foundation from Target? And of course, now there about 5 people behind me in line. Needless to say, I swallowed my pride, and informed the cashier that I would be passing on the super-cutely-package, catchy-brand-name foundation. But what I'm still irritated about is this...
If Target is going to choose to start carrying better quality cosmetics, please do us all a favor (and save us some embarassment) by at least listing the price on the shelf. I have been to two other Targets since this happened, and NONE of them have prices on the Pixi products. So annoying.

Good grief. That's ridiculous.
Good for you...maybe you just encouraged others out there to be just as frugal/frustrated and decide to do their family a favor and save them a few bucks...seriously, I would expect $40 powder to come from some upscale department store or something.
No kidding! I agree with both Gena and Elizabeth. That is crazy. I do have to say, it is cute packaging, though! I wouldn't have spent that much either. I thought I spent a lot on my "fancy" Clinique stuff...but not that much!
you need to TWEET this...Target may respond to you :)
I tweeted for you - Target is a Big Brother on Twitter.
so annoying indeed!!
