Sneaky nail polish treat...

Well, it's been an exhausting week...but I don't really need an excuse to pick up new polishes, do I? I made a quick trip to Priceline today. I actually haven't had much of an interest in buying new makeup lately, so it's been a while since I've visited Priceline. At the moment, I feel like I've shifted my interest (and money) into buying new clothes and shoes! The Iconic, Myer and Forever New are starting to empty out my bank account...

Anyway...

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 'Pacific Blue'

Essence Effect Nail Polish 'Baby, you're a firework'

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 'Lightshow'

Sally Hansen Pacific Blue

I feel like this shade is pretty well known in the nail polish world. I'm a huge fan of the Xtreme Wear range; if you've been following my monthly nail art posts, you would have seen these pop up quite a bit. This colour doesn't seem particularly exciting from the bottle, but all the swatches I've seen make it look gorgeous.

Essence 'Baby you're a firework'

So I think this is new line from Essence, and probably limited edition too. Of course I went for the pink one :) to be honest, I haven't had much luck in the past with Essence polishes - I've usually been unimpressed with the formula and passed them on to someone else. I hope this won't disappoint, because it looks really pretty.

Sally Hansen 'Lightshow'

And this is possibly limited edition too? How pretty does it look! I'm not a fool though, I know that to get it to look that good on my nails, I'll definitely have to 'fish' for the big glitter particles. I'm not complaining though, this is usually the case with hexagonal glitter polishes! 

Have you tried any of these polishes?

Priceline Sale Haul

Yep so Priceline had 40% off cosmetics today and yesterday...I actually was pretty restrained, mostly because the shop was so packed and I wanted to get out quickly.

Sally Hansen Nail Polish Remover

Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick in 106

Sally Hansen Gem Crush in 'Lady Luck'

Models Prefer Eyeshadow Pencil in 'Pop the Bubbly'

Sally Hansen Nail Polish remover (RRP $5.45, sale price: $3.27)

This was the main reason for me going. I picked up the last two bottles. Gotta be stocked up at all times.

Rimmel Lipstick (RRP $12.95, sale price: $7.77)

I simply couldn't leave without picking up a lipstick. There were a lot of really gorgeous Rimmel colours I wanted to try, but the stands had been ravaged so there wasn't much left. 106 is a gorgeous raspberry colour and I can't wait to give it a go.

Sally Hansen Gem Crush (RRP $9.95, sale price: $5.97)

It's not a Priceline haul unless I buy nail polish. I absolutely adore the Gem Crush range, so why not add to my growing collection!

Models Prefer Shadow Pencil (RRP $9.99, sale price: $5.99)

I actually bought one of these last week, but haven't used it. I swatched it, but there wasn't any of this shade left, which was a shame because I loved the colour. I am glad it was in stock this time because I got it for a great price!

And that is my fairly modest haul. Did you pick anything up from the sale?

Priceline Haul

I can actually go hauling again now. Here is my haul from yesterday...

Face of Australia Carnivale Nail Polish in 'Between the Flags'

Models Prefer Shadow Pencil in 'Down to Earth'

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

Maybelline Colossal Volum Express

Closer look at the polish and shadow pencil

Face of Australia Polish RRP $5.95
I have one of these textured polishes and I adore it. While I don't wear red very often, I think this might be nice to try out.

Models Prefer Shadow Pencil $9.99
I actually haven't tried anything by MP but I hear great reviews. So I thought I'd go for something that I don't have - eyeshadow in pencil form is completely new to me! The only other colour that was left was a nice champagne colour which I was initially drawn to, but I feel like this colour is more wearable on a daily basis.

Garnier Micellar Water RRP $11.99
This is the talk of the town at the moment. I picked it up as an afterthought as I was headed over to the counter, and when I got home I realised the lid was cracked pretty badly! I can't really be bothered getting it changed because I picked up the last one and the store I went to is out of my way. It is still usable though. From first impressions, it seems to be pretty good, but...it sort of just seems like water! Maybe it will grow on me a bit more with time.

Maybelline Mascara $19.95
Holy crapballs I've never spent so much on mascara in my life. I have heard really great things about this one so I guess I can splurge a little. I am excited to give it a go. I have a couple of mascaras lined up for 'night time wear', so this one will be my daytime one. The one I am currently using for daily wear is AWFUL! It does almost nothing and just smudges under my eyes after a few hours. It's the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Show Off mascara that I got in a GWP box. Glad I didn't pay for it!

And that is my haul for the week. Stay tuned, I think Priceline might have a sale coming up so keep an eye out for more hauls ;)

Have you tried any of these products?
