Priceline splurge + Essence Cosmetics

Posted on by

I went into Priceline the other day because I was about 10 minutes early for work and in desperate need of some hand cream. I've decided that Priceline is a little bit like Ikea.

You can go in there with the best of intentions, to purchase one necessary or predetermined item, and walk into a haze, coming to only as you pay for a multitude of items you somehow picked up on the way to the check outs. Then you walk out of the store and the fog lifts and you can't quite work  out what happened.

So, along with my Cetaphil Intense Moisturiser for hands, I also walked out with a bunch of Essence products. Partly because they are cute and have some great colours going on, but mostly because they are SO CHEAP!

I don't know this brand AT ALL except that I got the Essence mascara from Lauren in our Christmas in July beauty swap and I love it. 

Here's what I picked up:

I got three nail polishes. Nude Glam in Toffee To Go and Colour & Go in Let's Get Lost for $2.55. Then I picked up Rebels Rock Coat for $3.50 – I didn't even know what it was but it looked fun (more on that later).

I've been wanting a gel eyeliner for ages but wasn't sure if I'd use it. At $5.95 for the eye liner and $2.95 for the brush, it was a no-brainer.

I've been thinking I need some more bright eye colours for summer and this Sun Club palette just screamed out to be bought – $5.95, it's a joke!

Here' s a little swatch of the palette. I love the range of colours!

I'll report back when I've tried these beauties out, but so far I'm pretty happy with my purchases! It gives me a chance to try some new things before I buy a more expensive version!

1 - Kiehls Rare Earth Deep Pore Every Day Cleanser - AU$30 – I hear (from Wendy and Co) that this is a good exfoliating product for dry skin so I'm pretty keen to try it out.

2 – Australis Limited Edition Nails in Flip Flops – AU$7.95 – Just love this colour in the limited edition range!

3 – L'Oreal Paris Super Liner Gel Eyeliner - AU$19.96 (on sale at Priceline) – I haven't tried a gel eyeliner and I just feel like I really want to. Seems like as good a reason as any…

Sue's Wishlist:

1. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser – AU$8.99 – really well priced and the specifications tick all the boxes

2. Revlon Colourstay Whipped Creme Makeup – AU$24 – Katherine's sister, Rachael, and all of the women I've spoken to at Priceline say it's the best foundation they've tried.

3. Ardell Fashion Lashes – AU$3.89 – because they're fun and I'm told that they're the best for an amatuer to work with

4. Skin Doctors Eyetuck Anti Bag Technology - $59.95 – no point in enhancing your eyes with false eyelashes if they have huge bags slung underneath them.

5. And last but not least….and I know it doesn't really fit into a beauty blog…but I lust after these so bad and they are so beautiful…..Sambag ballet flats!!!!!

Enjoy your week, let's hope the weather is as Springtime amazing as it has been lately.
