Sukin Moisturiser Bonus Offer at Priceline

Hi Pretties

I just wanted to share with you today a little bonus offer I found at my local Priceline at is in fact advertised in the current catalogue but I had missed it and maybe you have too!

It's the Sukin Rose Hip Oil with bonus full sized moisturiser.  This pack is valued at $29.98 and on sale for $19.99 in the catalogue.  I'm not sure if it was only the new Priceline near my work (Maitland), but I actually got this set for $16!

I've been using it for two days now and I am in love!  The smell of the moisturiser is amazing, and my skin seems plumper and more refreshed already.

I recommenced checking it out to see if you can get this bargain as well!

Project X Pan - 7 & 8 down

So why is it when I embark on Project X Pan, I seem to run out of everything at one?

I've finished off another two products, both not on my list!  But hey, they are products that have been hanging around.

The first product I finished off I received in my Priceline Gift With Purchase a couple of months ago.  It is the Priceline Calming 3 in 1 Facial Wipes.  This pack comes with 25 wipes and a handy self seal sticker that keeps the remaining wipes fresh.

These wipes are quite nice.  The fragrance is harmless and they are not too dry but not too moist they run down your face.  They are very gentle and do a pretty good job at removing your make up.  The only thing I found they struggled on is my Essence Gel Liner but I am yet to find a product that removes it nicely.  I will repurchase these wipes.


The next item I finished off is a mechanical eye pencil by DB by Savvy.  By finished off I mean I wound it up to see how much was left and the remainder snapped off when I was winding it down.  Sad face :-(  I got this on special for about $3 probably a year ago and it is a great mechanical eye pencil.  The packaging is quite nice and firm and comes with a smudger on the end.  It did have a cap on it but that is long lost.  I don't use the smudger anyway.  The colour of this pencil is black but it is not BLACK black.  That would probably be my only complaint with this.  It is nice and long wearing too.  I would repurchase this, but I believe it is discontinued and I have enough eye pencils to last me about a year!

So I've actually finished off 8 items now.  That leaves 2 to go until I finish PXP but not all of the goodies on my list will be gone!  I'm going to take the Chi Silk Infusion off my list and I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon as there is A LOT left and you only use a tiny amount but I still plan on using up the 4 other products before finishing Project X Pan.

Sunday night haul

Hi Pretties


Well it's that time of the week again.  The weekend is coming to an end and it's time for my Sunday night haul blog!  I promise you this one has been a big one!

Now I must admit, I didn't actually buy everything here.  If you read my Priceline gift with purchase blog post earlier this week, you will see that a very large portion I actually received in that bag.

Below are this weeks actual purchases;

As you can see, its still not a bad haul.  I did buy most things on special too, so I got some bargains.  I am actually now on a spending ban for the next three weeks.  So no hauls :(  But I will be going to Melbourne in a couple of weeks so I'm saving my pennies!


Products I purchased
Revlon - Lip Butter in 055 Cupcake
Revlon - Lip Butter in 095 Creme Brule
Revlon - Lip Butter in 090 Sweet Tart
Revlon - Color Burst lipstick in 070 Soft Nude 
Australis - Make Up Finishing Spritz
Essence - Gel eye liner in 01 Midnight in Paris (black)
Essence - Gel eye liner in 03 Berlin Rocks (purple)
Formula 10.06 - Deep Down Detox Ultra Cleansing Mud Mask
Modern Living - Lipstick organiser (I bought 4 of these and they hold 9 each)
Maybelline- Master Precise liquid liner
Models Prefer - MP24 small eyeshadow brush
Essence - Angeled eye liner brush
Essence - French manicure tips


For years I have only used crayon eye liners and I'm being a little adventurous a the moment and have branched out and bought a liquid liner and the gel liners.  I LOVE the gel liner.  I got the black for $5.95 and the purple for $3 and I think they are fabulous.  Maybe a little too much for everyday, I think I'll use the Maybelline liquid eye liner for during the day but the gel just seems to give my eyes that little extra pop.


I bought another Models Prefer brush.  I'm actually getting up quite a collection of these now and I think they are great value for money.  I don't think I have paid full price for any of them and I haven't paid any more than $15 for my most expensive brush which was the bronzer brush.  I think this one was around $11?


I spoke in my skin care routine blog post about trying the 10.06 masks in the sachets and I liked them so much I bought the full sized product while it was 20% off at Priceline.  I think it was down to $7.


So as you can see, I purchased 4 Revlon lip products.  Now I refuse to pay full price for Revlon lipsticks.  I think the price is ridiculous and rather than pay $22 a lipstick I'd rather pay that little bit extra and get a Mac lipstick or something (another reason I love Rimmel lipsticks so much, they are so cheap!), but when Priceline had their 2 for 1 special on, I thought it was time to stock up on the lip butters and the nude I have been lusting after for a long time.  I'm pretty pleased with the lip butters.  I don't find Creme Brule to be overly moisturising, but it is a nude and that's generally the case with nudes.  I think the Color Burst lipstick in Soft Nude is much more moisturising that Creme Brule actually, but the pinks are great.  I now have 4 lip butters.  Hurray!


I showed you my make up storage last week and I have actually now added some lipstick organisation to my vanity and given my blushes their own drawer in my big pink case.  They are all very happy in their new homes!  The lipstick holders were $5 at Target and I purchased 4 of them as I forgot to count my lipsticks before I went.  I do have a whole holder spare at the moment now.  I'm very happy with these holders as they seem to be a lot better quality than the Priceline ones, but much cheaper.


So anyway I'll leave there with my Sunday night haul.  No hauls for three weeks.  Ahhh so long with no new products but I do have loads of new things to play with :)


What did you haul this week?

Priceline Gift With Purchase

Hi Pretties

Those in Australia would have no doubt seen Priceline's current gift with purchase. To receive you just spend $60 on the participating brands to get the goodie bag filled with over $220 worth of stuff! I thought I would do a short post for those tossing up whether this is for you or not.

Now seeing as Revlon also have buy one get one free, and I have been eyeing off a few lip butters and lipsticks for quite a while, I easily reached my $60 with a couple of other purchases. More about those on Sunday in my weekly haul post!

Below is the bag I received.

I'll start with the bag. To be honest I think it's hideous. It's very much not my taste and pretty flimsy. But it kept my goodies contained so I'm not complaining too much.

Products
Eco Tools - 100% recycled plastic bath sponge in purple. This is nice and soft
Nude By Nature - Soft focus illuminator
Models Prefer Multi purpose sponge in hot pink
Rimmel - I love lasting finish nail polish in 185 Mocha Fever (I already own this colour)
1000 Hour - Nail Foils in a purple/silver patterned colour
Manicare - Soft Touch Tweezers
Covergirl - $10 off card
Revlon - Colour Burst lipstick in 035 Blush
Innoxia - Lovely Lips lipstick in Honeysuckle
Australis - Paparazzi Perfect High Definition blush in Poser
Press and Go - Nails in a zebra type pattern
Natio - Mineral pressed powder in Soft Tan
Priceline - Calming facial wipes
Max Factor - Xperience Volumising Mascara in black
Models Prefer - Kohl pencil in matte black
Savvy by DB - Luxury Liner in Shimmering Slate

Now considering most of the products I already purchased were buy one get one free I really got loads of stuff for my $60. I'm very excited about it. I pretty much don't need to buy mascara for a year, and eye liner for about 2 years with all the free ones I have received lately as gift with purchases!

Did you get the Priceline gift with purchase bag?

Orly Nail Polish Haul

Hi all

No doubt most of the Aussies have seen the discounted Orly nail polishes getting around Priceline at the moment, but for those who haven't, Priceline is selling Orly nail polishes (old range) for anywhere from $3 to $5! Normal retail price of Orly nail polishes is around $18 so your getting a bargain with these!

I picked up one colour to try the other day for $4.95 and after being pretty pleased with the polish I went to buy a couple more today and low and behold I got the for $2.99 each! So I now have 4 colours :)

My favourite thing about these polishes so far would have to be the rubber topper which makes getting the top off the bottle so easy. Normally with my OPI polishes I'm trying to chew it off with my teeth!

I really like the consistency of the polish also, it goes on nice and evenly, does require two coats which I'm not always a fan of but the shine factor you are left with is fantastic.

I don't think the polish longevity is anything special, still wearing off after 3 or 4 days but I'm yet to find a polish that lasts much longer from high end to cheapy Ulta3. In fact I would probably say that Ulta3 has lasted the longest of any polish I have tried and they are only $2 a bottle. But for the cheap price I got these Orly polishes for i'm very pleased. I'm doubtful I would spend $18 on a bottle though as I think there are other polishes just as good.

The colours I got from left to right are;

Strip Down: A bright pink with orange undertones

Aspen: A very shiny pale blue

Not So Dusty Rose: A dusty rose

Walk Down the Isle: A shimmery pale green

What Orly polishes do you have?

NOTD - OPI, Sally Hanson

Today's nail is Opi Lourve Me Lourve Me Not with a feature of Sally Hanson's Salon Effects in 360 Laced Up

I got the OPI from My Beauty Spot and was curious as to whether it was genuine as it was only $10, but it seems up to scratch and if it is a fake, it's a pretty good one! It's a lovely deep purple with what seems like red and hot pink shimmers through out.

Priceline are having a 2 for $25 on the Sally Hanson Salon Effects so I picked up a couple to give them a try as I have not done so as yet.

They seem to be pretty good, although I like them more of a feature than a full set I think. I'm a little messy at applying just yet but I think that will improve with practice!

What are your thoughts on Sally Hanson's Salon Effects?
