If you are a long time follower & have been keeping track of our hauls, you know that when a sale comes along we can't help but resist. This was no exception when Priceline had their 40% off cosmetics sale on the 11th & 12th of March. This time we decided to buy online, mainly cos it's easier and to the avoid the disappointment of sold out products in-store. So at 12am Tuesday morning (keen much?) we jumped on the website to put in our order. At that time however, Priceline hadn't updated their sale (obviously they don't take the start of sales as seriously as we do lollll) so we ended up ordering in the morning :)
Essence: Colour & Go Nail Polish in 111, 113, 147, 156 // $0.82 & $1.65
My first lot of essence polishes! I did plan on getting the more muted autumn colours (think nudes/greys/pinks/lilacs) but the range online did disappoint so I had to make do with these. I went in with knowing I wanted 111 & 113 (pictured on the most left & right), and I picked up the blue and the middle red just because they were reduced to 82c. Dirt cheap.
Cutex: Nourishing Nail Polish Remover // $2.87
I haven't painted my nails for the longest time because I ran out of nail polish remover long ago. This time I finally remembered to buy it! Hopefully these won't be too stripping on the nails.
Essence: Express Dry Drops // $2.10
Worst part about putting on nail polish is waiting for it to dry and feeling limited in the activities you do. I tried it once last week and first impressions is that it is so far so good! The application is a little tricky so I might have to yt this one. Let me know if you have any tips!
Essence: Silky Touch Blush in 50 Sweetheart & 20 Babydoll // $2.55 Lately I've been getting into blushes. As a newly converted blush wearer, I'm still experimenting to see what shades suit me. I've heard so many good things about these being super buttery, highly pigmented & not to mention they are extremely affordable.
Face of Australia: Translucent Powder // $7.17
If you watch Lauren Curtis on YouTube, you know that she raves about this powder. When a YouTuber raves about something you gotta go get it, no explanation required.
Australis: Fresh & Flawless Pressed Powder in Deep Natural // $6.84
An apparent dupe for the Mac Studio Fix Powder. Used on it's own, it gives light coverage and is super silky and velvety on the skin. As a setting powder, I've yet to decide what my thoughts are on it yet.
Essence: Lipliners in 04 Honey Bun, 05 Soft Berry, 08 Red Blush, 10 Femme Fatale, 11 In the Nude // $1.05Essence lipliners are quite the little gem, and the 40% off sale was just the right opportunity to pick up pretty much all of the range (minus the darkest brown). Expect to see lip swatch post soon :)
Essence: Sharpener // $1.05
Not much to mention about a sharpener really...I just realised I stop using products that come in a pencil form when they're in need of sharpening. I think it's time that habit stops haha.
Essence: Lipstick in 44 // $1.05
Word has it that Essence lipstick formulas are relatively decent, and I wanted to test it out for myself :) Not expecting to be blown away for $1.05, but I do have high hopes for the wearability of this one.
Face of Australia: Glossy Lip Crayon in Pecan Pie // $2.97
I am so glad lip crayons were invented because they are just the best things ever. Pecan Pie does not disappoint as it is such MLBB natural shade. I love it so much & it just hits all the right spots.
That's it from our haul today! Fairly productive shopping with some good bargains :)
What did you grab from this sale? Would love to know to get some inspiration for the next one ;)
