Sale haul pt. 1

Even though I've been working almost non-stop since Christmas, I still managed to find time to find a few good sales. I did buy a few things online which are yet to arrive, so this will just be part 1.

My friend Tegan let me know about the sale on these gift sets in Kmart, and I thought I better take a look and check them out.

Rimmel Nail Polish Gift Set

This set contains Sky High, Instyle Coral and Portobello Pink. These are all lovely shades, and all are nice formulas. Instyle Coral and Portobello Pink both are opaque with 2 coats, with Sky High needing an extra coat. Portobello Pink also has a lovely shimmer to it. I also really like the large brushes, and they dry really quickly (not sure about 60 seconds, but it is pretty darn fast). This was $7.50, reduced from $15, with a $23 value.

Australis Parisian Pretty

This contained Mint Condition Lip Gloss in Meow with your Mind, Nail Polishes in Today's News and Sinfully Sweet, and a pair of 'gold plated' Love stud earrings. Today's News is my favourite from this set, being a bright pink, and I also think the earrings are pretty cute. Sinfully Sweet and Meow with Your Mind are pretty, but shades I usually wouldn't wear. This set was $10, reduced from $20, with a value of $24.85.

Australis NYC Nights

This contains Mint Condition Lip Gloss in An Evening With?, Double Decker Eye Duo in Moon Rocker, Nail Polish in Foil Spoil and a pair of 'crystal stud earrings'. I bought this mainly for the lip gloss because I don't have a red, but I also wanted to try one of Australis' Double Decker Eye Duos. Unfortunately, I have no idea how I would wear this combo, and I'm pretty disappointed with the blue cream. The powder seems nice and I look forward to trying this out. The nail polish is also very similar to my Revlon Silver Dollar, which I really like, so I doubt I'll get much use out of it. I'm also not a fan of the earrings. This set was also $10, reduced from $20, with a value of $26.85.

Lovisa
I checked out Lovisa as they were having an 'up to 70% off sale' and managed to pick these up. I would have got more but their eftpos was down and I only had $10 cash on me. However, I'm super happy with both of these necklaces.
