Priceline Haul #2 - March 2011

-
John Freida Frizz Ease UV Hair Serum
I saw this serum at Priceline before and now that it was on sale I thought I'd give it a try and see how it compares to my beloved Tresemme heat defense spray. It was on sale for $12.69.



Revlon Colorstay Blemish Concealer in Light/Medium
I needed a new blemish concealer and not only is it oil-free but it was apart of a deal which is explained at the bottom of this post. It was $26.95.



Revlon Colorstay Brow Liner in Blonde
Again Revlon was apart of a deal and I needed a new brow pencil. And I pretty much wanted it for the spoolie at the end. This was $21.95.


Neutrogena Night Cream Cleanser
I am trying to find an inexpensive way to take off my makeup. So far I use wipes and thought this cream cleanser wouldn't hurt trying, especially as they had 20% off. It was on sale for $9.59.


Neutrogena Rapid Clear Fight & Fade Clearing Gel
 I have acne scars and I wanted to see if this was all it was claimed up to be ie. fade spots. It was on sale for $12.


Tresemme Dry Shampoo
Picked up another of my favorite dry shampoo. It was $9.69.


Clean and Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser
I wanted a morning cleanser that was for waking you up in the morning cause with my early morning Sunday shifts, it's tough. This was on sale for $8.79 but is normally $10.99.


*special*
You had to spend $50 or more in one transaction on a select few brands, two of them being Revlon and Neutrogena, and you got this beauty gift bag free with all the goodies!! I was quite excited. A few products/brands I had tried before and was aware of but the rest I wasn't. I may do and separate blog post review but here's the products. (the brands that were participating were the ones you got in the gift bag).

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...
