Priceline Haul - February 2011

Just a few things that I wanted for so long and they were on sale!!

Australis  Makeup Finishing Spritz
I wanted this to set my makeup. To see if it does make a difference. $15 on sale for $11.46

Manicare Crystal Nail File
Arghh Im so sick of those normal emery boards as they loose their harshness very quickly for me and then my nails don't get a good file after a few months. Anyway I thought a nail file like this one which never looses its grainy texture on the nails. $16 on sale for $13.16.

Neutrogena Healthy Defense Moisturiser with SPF 30
I needed a new moisturiser and Neutrogena works well for me. I want to be anti-aging and future focused and I know that applying sunscreen daily not only helps prevent wrinkles but also helps lower the risk of sunburn and cancer. I feel that normal sunscreen is too thick, smelly and sticky for me and that this moisturiser would be a good way of combining the two so that it's one less step but it doesn't become a chore for me to do. $17 on sale for $14.39.

Revlon Pedi-EXPERT Shower Pedicure kit
I wanted a foot loafa for a while and now that my heels are on show during summer I would like to keep them nice and maintained. This was the only thing that wasn't on sale but this and the crystal nail file were the 2 items that I really wanted. $20.

Nivea Expert Lift Eye Cream
My favourtie eye cream that lifts, tightens & firms my hooded eyes. This is my second repurchase as my first tube is running low and Nivea had 30% off. This is $28 but was on sale for $19.59.

Innoxa Organic Brightening Eye Creme

-
Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Benefit Benetint

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
