Skin & Nails Haul - July 2011

-

Revlon Manicare Set
This was $5 from Chemist Warehouse. It contains a set of nail clippers, emery metal file, cuticle pusher & trimmer and a nail buffer all housed in a red with white swirl case. I needed some good quality nail tools and I saw this bargain and new it was too good to pass up.


Maybelline Sensation Lipliner #25 Toast
I wanted a nude/natural coloured lip liner that would go with my various shades of lipstick that are in the nude family category. I have never tried a lip liner before as I believe that they are not really necessary and give an un-natural look but are necessary only for red lipstick. Which I plan to be wearing that Saturday at a Disney themed 21st and I'll be Snow White. From Chemist Warehouse it was on special for $11.


YSL Touche Eclat #1
It was $35 from Chemist Warehouse. I've seen it there before and I didn't pick one up. I've been dying (not literally) to try one of these beautys' out as they are one of the most converted and raved about beauty product.


Scented tealights in glass jar with suction glass lid
I've wanted a glass jar similar to this to place on my dressing table to add character to my room but also so I could store cotton buds in there so I always had some handy instead of rushing to the bathroom to get one. I realise how wide the jar is and yes I do plan on filling it all with cotton buds and no I don't go through cotton buds fast by any means but it looks pretty. From Thingz for $8.


Skin Vitals T-Purify Anti-Spot Cleansing Clarifying Mask
I wanted to try a new variety of face masks. These look promising. From Priceline for $10.


Scholl Party Feet Gel Cushions & Foot File
It was buy two items from School for $15 at Priceline. I have gel cushions from 3 years ago that still provide extreme comfort but a new set to be permanent in another pair of heels wouldn't hurt. I've always wanted to have a foot file and this one is girly enough to not being boring and is made by a well loved feet company. Both were normally $10.50 each.


11th July
Sally Hansen Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover
Sally Hansen at Priceline had a deal were if you spent over $25 in one transaction then you got a free manicare set. Now I know in the above haul the Revlon is identical, well this Sally Hansen was the one I orginally wanted when I spotted it on the USA wesbsite but in Australia Sally Hansen hasn't yet expanded into tools and lotions, so I settled for second best (being the Revlon) seeing as I couldn't buy it online. Whats so good about the Sally Hansen one?

Well how bright and vibrant the colour is and they look like decent quality tools. Im not smashing Revlon, they are quality tools but when you are able to get something that you've always wanted you go for it right? Right. Don't worry I passed on the Revlon nail kit to my Mum who was more than happy to have some quality tools. This Nail polish remover was $5.45.


Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant
$24 from Chemist Warehouse. Heard this is a legendary lotion that I thought was waaay to expensive for me to have but defiantly not passing up the opportunity to try it. Im not even sure I have a use for it.


Sally Hansen Salon Effects # Blue Ice
Always wanted to try these and now I have my opportunity. They were $15.

Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Extreme Wear Nail Polish # Blue Me Away
Needed to make up the $25 and this was a nice fun colour to brighten things up every now and again and my sister does nail art so this would be a nice colour to use for that. It was $6.95.


This is the free gift for spending the certain amount. Like the Revlon it contains a metal nail file, a nail buffer, nail clippers and a cuticle pusher/trimmer in a velevt orange clasp close case.

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...
