Haul: Priceline 40% off Sale

Even when I feel like I'm restraining myself, I somehow manage to always walk out of Priceline's 40% off sales having spent more than I intended.

There were many more things I convinced myself to not buy than what I did buy, so I am happy about that. Sometimes Priceline's catalogue sales are actually better than 40% off (e.g. when their Maybelline mascaras are $10) so I tried to not get swept away in the hype.

I picked up two colours from Essie's Autumn collection; Dress to Kill (on the left) and the Perfect Cover Up (on the right). TPCU is a really beautiful deep, dark green that almost looks black in low lighting. I was also especially drawn to 'Rule of Plum' from the Sally Hansen Autumn collection. 

Revlon released some new lipsticks; the 'HD Lipstick', so of course I had to get a few shades. I think it's a bit cute that every shade in the collection is named after a flower. 

I was thrilled that my local Priceline still had plenty of the 'Miss Manga' Loreal mascara - I am really keen to test the 'Mega Volume' claims.

Annnnd some practical purchases - I always take these sales as an opportunity to stock up on my favourite foundation (because I refuse to pay RRP and it's always amazing to have backups on hand). 

I have actually been loving the Loreal Volume Million Lashes mascara the past few months, but it was nowhere to be found in-store. So I picked up the trusty old Maybelline Falsies. 

Can you tell I like volumising mascaras?

Chemist Warehouse Haul

Chemist Warehouse are having 50% off Revlon, Rimmel, Maybelline, Sally Hansen so of course I had to stop buy and pick up some things I've been eyeing off for a while. (NB: Sale is on until Thursday 29 May)

Revlon gentle eye make-up remover: This is one of my skincare staples. I've bought a billion of these bottles, and as much as it pains me to buy it now because of the new packaging, I just love the formula so damn much I can't live without it. Will probably forever repurchase this. 

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer: Everyone raves about this product, so I thought I'd pick it up and see how it goes. This particular one is the 'brightening / illuminating', and is slightly peach toned. It cancels out the purple under-eye circles really well, and I'm liking it so far. 

Revlon Photoready Concealer: This is a repurchase, as I've almost finished mine. This concealer is really creamy, and I find it really moisturising on my under-eye area. I also like using it as an eye primer. 

Sally Hansen big matte top coat: I have been fascinated by this for ages, but always talked myself out of buying it. I love gimmicky things though, and I love them even more when they're 50% off. This top coat is awesome, and I will be doing a full review on this soon. 

Sally Hansen advanced hard as nails strengthener: I've been painting my nails heaps lately, so they've started peeling and aren't in the best condition.I thought I'd pick this up to see if I can re-strengthen them. 

Revlon Parfumerie scented nail enamel: I bought one of these in pink pineapple to wear to mum's wedding back in April, and I was so totally blown away with the scented aspect of this (although it is a bit weird to be seen sniffing your fingers, or even worse...telling people to have a sniff) I picked up China Flower, which is kind of a minty scent, and tropical rain, which I haven't applied yet so I have no idea what that smells like. 

One of the dilemmas I face with buying these is, do you buy based off colour or scent? I really wanted to try the chocolate one but wasn't sure if I liked that nail colour. What do you think?
