It's that time of year where sales are screaming our name. If you haven't purchased anything this post-Xmas sale period, I salute you - amazing willpower!
I am pretty scared of the shops at this time of year. Last year, I worked the whole day after Boxing Day, which is the equivalent of Boxing Day sales in my city because everything is shut on the 26th. Can I just say, WORST shift of my life - it really brought out in the worst in people and I have never, ever seen a shopping centre so crowded. Anyway, because of that this year I didn't really bother going to the shops. However, seeing as Chemist Warehouse is open till 9pm on Friday's and the one closest to me is not in a shopping centre, I made a late visit last night...
The sale is 50% off cosmetics and up to 80% of fragrances...did your heart just skip a beat?!

Rimmel Apocalips in 'Solstice' (sale price $7.97)
Ralph Lauren 30mL perfume (sale price $26.99)
Rimmel Apocalips in 'Nova (sale price $7.97)
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable stain in 'Smitten'(sale price $8.98)
So awesome that I only paid $56.60 for all this. I probably would have spent more money but I was with my bf who was hungry therefore we couldn't stay long (typical!). I was very excited to see the lip products for so cheap - they are practically US prices (shock horror!). My motivation for going to the sale was to buy this perfume, a friend of mine was wearing it one day and I absolutely loved it so I'm super stoked about this. The sale is still going for another few days (I am not sure exactly when, I can't figure it out on the website but I think possibly 1st-2nd Jan?) so I *may* make another sneaky trip and buy a Marc Jacobs perfume for myself.
What awesome deals have you scored during post-Christmas sales?
I have been working since Christmas and I agree that it literally brings out the worst in people! I hate it. You did grab some bargains though :) I usually steer clear just because I hate dealing with shitty people and big crowds.

DeleteNice buys! It sucks being on a shopping ban, but it's fantastic, knowing that there is money in my account!
ReplyDeleteYeah I bet! Everytime I look at my bank account I die a little inside haha
DeleteNice haul, Sarah! I bought a couple Maybelline eyeliners from Chem Warehouse just before xmas and then was kicking myself when they had 50% off!
ReplyDeleteWorst! I hate it when that happens! At least you'll know for next year :P
Delete$8 for the rimmel gloss is a steal! I need to check it out tomorrow! ^_^
