Priceline and Lush Haul

I managed to make it to Priceline yesterday to pick up a couple of things during the 40% off cosmetics sale. I was going to do another $10 haul, but I really couldn't limit myself to that much again, and I was with my mum so I had to be quick. I did pick up some bargains though!

First I went into the city to meet my mum, after shopping for my cousins twin baby girls, we stopped off at Lush and I picked up the Melting Marshmallow Moment Bath Melt. Oh my god it smells so good! It's just like the Snow Fairy shower gel which I love, so I can't wait to give it a go!

The shopping centre in the city is currently undergoing renovations, so the Priceline has moved to a temporary location. Unfortunately, the temporary Priceline is pretty terrible. The isles are narrow, and I couldn't even see a Face of Australia or Essence stand! I must commend them for their Australis stand, I finally got to see the new Pout Pastes, as well as their new lipsticks and face and body tint (even though I didn't actually buy any of them). I picked up the Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Instant Nail Hardener and the Manicare 4 way buffer (because this Priceline didn't have the Sally Hansen one!). I'm trying to get my nails into better shape, which is why you didn't see a Weekly Nail post from me this week.

We then went to our local shopping center, and stopped in at their Priceline. I picked up the Face of Australia Face Base Primer 3 in 1, Essence Nail Art Express Dry Drops, Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara, as well as some new shampoo and mouth wash. I'm almost out of my sample Revlon primer, and I've heard some good things about the Face of Australia primers. I decided to get the 3 in 1, as my current foundation doesn't contain any SPF. I've also heard good things about the Essence dry drops, I'm way to impatient to wait for my nail polish to dry most of the time. Quick question, can you put nail colour of these after you've dried your base nail colour? I'd love to use them for nail art, I should just try it out anyway. At the counter I spotted the Clump Crusher mascara, and after a quick discussion with my mum, I decided I should pick up a back up for when my current mascaras go dry and clumpy. It ended up only costing $6, bargain! We went back to the Covergirl stand to decide this, and on the way back to the counter mum decided she wanted a new lipstick, and I recommended a Revlon lip butter! We had to be quick because they were closing, so she ended up with Sugar Plum, a shade I really love.

So, not a very interesting haul. I really could have picked up a lot more, but there's no point of me buying lots of stuff that I can't take with me when I travel, or I'd need to bring a separate suitcase for beauty products! I'm also thinking about buying some high end products during my travels. I would have liked to have gotten some of the new Face of Australia Glitterazi nail polishes, but my local priceline hasn't got them in yet (or ANY of the new Australis products).

 Did you pick up anything good in the 40% off sale? Let me know below (so I can maybe rush off in my break today to get it!)

  1. I haven't been able to go in to priceline so I decided to buy from their online store (which was a huge fail. The site was going so slow so I decided to set my alarm for waaaay early in the morning just to see if the site's traffic would be better & Success! I ordered a few Loreal, Maybelline and Essence prodcust :)

    1. I did the same thing when they had their click frenzy sales, I got up early so I could get on as soon as the sale started and it was smooth sailing! I didn't bother with the website this time, mostly because the savings wouldn't be worth the price of shipping, even though I could have gotten a few things that my local pricelines didn't have. I don't actually need any of it, haha.

    1. Totally worth it to get a good bargain! At least you get to stay in your pj's. I did the same thing during the click frenzy sale, got up early to beat the traffic! The savings I would have made this time round wouldn't have been worth having to pay for postage unfortunately.

    1. It smells a lot more like bubblegum than marshmallows, but it does have a slight marshmallow scent. When I first heard about it I was hoping it would smell just like marshmallows (how good would that be?!) but it does smell lovely anyway.

  5. I love the sally hansen hardener :) I have been using it religiously lately because my nails keep peeling :(
    My priceline didn't have the new FOA glitter nail polishes or the new australis stuff in yet either :( I am so desperate for some of those glitter polishes lol.

    1. I'm hoping it helps my nails grow. I can't help pick at my nails when they start to peel so I'm not doing them much good.
      It's so annoying that some Priceline's don't stock new collections!
