Priceline Haul [4]

Ah, midweek shopping.

This week, I had some free time and decided to pop into Priceline to take advantage of the sale they currently have on!

(All prices listed below are sale prices, except for the Ardell lashes!)

Garnier Pure Active 3 in 1 Wash, Scrub and Mask $10.99
Garnier Clean Sensitive 2 in 1 Gentle Make-Up Remover $7.99

These are both my current favourite face wash and make up remover. 

The face wash leaves my skin feeling very clean, refreshed and hydrated, and has a very pleasant, fresh scent. I use it thinned with a little bit of water as a face wash on a daily basis, and occasionally as a scrub and mask. I definitely recommend it for people with oily skin!

The makeup remover does a fantastic job of removing everything, even waterproof eye makeup which I wear a lot of. It doesn't leave that oily residue on your skin, which I love, and is very gentle and light.

Aveeno Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser RRP $13.99

Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturiser $15.99

I've been wanting to try a new moisturiser for quite a while and have heard lots of good things about this, so I decided to give it a go. So far, I'm really liking it! I only use about one pump any one time and it's enough for my entire face and neck. It's very light and quickly absorbs into the skin, leaving a really subtle, pleasant scent. My T zone doesn't become too oily until a few hours after using this, which I don't really mind. 

The cleanser was a free gift for spending over $15 on any product in the Aveeno range. So far, I'm not a huge fan of it, simply because I prefer my current face wash so much more. It definitely is gentle... way too gentle. I think I would use it when I break out and my skin is much more sensitive, but for now, I'm sticking with my Garnier.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains in Crush and Romantic $17.95 in total (buy one get one free deal)

HOLY GRAIL LIP PRODUCT, RIGHT HERE!

I adore these and will never pass up an opportunity to grab some more. I was so excited to see that there was a 2 for 1 deal on these so I picked up two more shades. Crush is a plum-y red colour, perfect for autumn but I will make it work all year round! Romantic is a lovely, bright red, which I think will look gorgeous on most skin tones. I definitely recommend the entire range of these stains!

Glam Eyes precision eyelash curler $7.69

Ardell Lashes: 108 $9.99

I saw the precision eye lash curler and decided that I just had to try it! I've found that it does a decent job of curling the pesky outer corner lashes, but you have to be super careful using it or it might pinch your skin! I would recommend this for people with small eyes or short, straight lashes. Just be mindful to curl at the root and middle of the lash so it appears more natural.

My sister has a formal coming up so I picked out these lashes for her. She has very short, straight lashes, so I thought that this would look the most natural and flattering on her eyes. I've heard lots of good things about Ardell lashes so hopefully they're as good as I hope they are!

This weekend, my friend Angela and I visited Priceline and Chemist Warehouse in Myer, Rundle Mall and I made just 1 purchase at each after telling myself that I did not need anymore makeup (oops...). 

Priceline: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Sweetheart $17.95 (buy one get one free deal)

Chemist Warehouse: Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss in 107 $6.47

Yes, another Revlon stain.... I just can't help it! Angela and I both bought this one so we only had to pay about $9 each! We both love it. The colour is a pretty, bright pink, perfect for Spring and Summer!

Chemist Warehouse has been having a 50% off Revlon, Rimmel and Maybelline sale which is finishing soon, so I picked up this dark, berry red lipstick. If anyone is familiar with the British youtuber 'Zoella', this is the red lip stick that she often wears! It is such a gorgeous colour and has fantastic staying power. I'd definitely recommend it!

If you need to stock up on any beauty or skin care products, I highly recommend you do so as soon as possible! The Priceline sale ends on Monday the 23rd of September and the Chemist Warehouse sale will be ending very soon, too.

Thanks for reading, and happy shopping!

Priceline Haul

Hello again!

We went back to Rundle Mall after lunch and I visited Priceline for the second time that day because there was a HUGE 40% off sale on all cosmetics! I had to really restrain myself though as I don't need any new makeup right now. If you know me however, you'll know that I'm a sucker for sales! I ended up purchasing a total of 5 products. I've done a very brief review on each product.

From left to right:

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze 

L'Oreal Caresse Lip Stain in Juliet

Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof eye liner in 005 Nude

L'Oreal False Lash Telescopic Mascara in Waterproof Black

Garnier Clean Sensistive 2-in-1 Gentle Makeup Remover

The Maybelline Colour Tattoo is originally $11.95 but the sale took the price down to $7.17 .

This product is raved about so much on youtube and in beauty blogs so I've been meaning to try it for a very long time and only just got round to purchasing it. So far, I love the colour of it on my skin and it acts as a very nice base for eye shadows. However, I tend to get oily lids and so I will probably be using my Urban Decay Primer Potion under it just as a precaution! 

The L'Oreal Caresse Lip Stain is known to be a dupe for the YSL Glossy Lip Stain. It was originally $23.95 but today I got it for $14.37 . I think this is a great alternative for those who don't want to fork out a ridiculous amount for such a product. (L'Oreal and YSL are under the umbrella of one large company anyway, so these products could potentially be very similar!). From what I've seen in real life, the L'Oreal stain seems more pigmented the YSL stain, and is only a third of the price! The colour I got is really pretty and great for a statement, bold lip.

White eyeliner vs. Nude eyeliner
(Sorry my hand looks extra red - the lip stain was a bit of a pain to get off!)

The Rimmel eye liner was originally $9.95 but I got it for $5.97. It is a great product and is definitely waterproof. I would recommend using a nude eyeliner rather than a white eye liner on your waterline as it gives a much more natural 'awake' look in contrast to the harsh white eyeliner look. I have my eye on the Stila nude eyeliner, which is 4 times the price of this, but I think this is a fantastic alternative.

 

Top: New

Bottom: Original

The L'Oreal mascara was originally $26.95 but was reduced to $16.17 today. My holy grail mascara is the original waterproof Telescopic Mascara as it works wonders on my sparse, short and straight Asian lashes! I definitely recommend it. I bought this new version to try it out and see whether it would work as well. The plastic wand is slightly different in shape (the new version is slightly larger), but the length and width of the bristles are still the same. I can't say that I'm disappointed but I think I still prefer the original. This claims to give the 'false lash effect' but I honestly don't see it. However, it is still a good mascara.

I'm currently using the L'Oreal makeup remover and heard the Garnier makeup remover works just as well so I decided to give it a go. And I agree, it does the same job. The plus side with the Garnier makeup remover is that you get more product for a smaller price. 

Thank you so much for reading! I'm definitely no expert but I do love playing around and experimenting with make up :)
