Priceline 40% off Skin Care Sale.

Oh Priceline, how I love your sales.

Priceline had their 40% off skin care sale over Wednesday and Thursday as I'm sure most of you know so of course I had to run in an grab a few things.

I actually think I did pretty well this sale, I went in knowing exactly what I wanted and only grabbed one thing I wasn't planning on buying.

So onto what I bought.

I mainly grabbed back ups of products I use daily.

Models Prefer MATTE me pore minimising moisturiser
50ml for $24.99

First up is the Models Prefer MATTE me pore minimising moisturiser.

@beautywithclaire mentioned this in a blog post not long ago raving about it and I had to try it. It helps keep your face matte (something us girls with oily and combination skin struggle with most of summer!) and I have noticed that my pores do seem a little smaller. Normally $25 and was on sale for $15. It may seem a little pricey but this is the second jar I've picked up in a month on sale, and I use it most mornings and have barely made a dent in it!

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water
400ml for $11.99

Oh Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. What would I do without you!

I still have about half of my first bottle left but I use this daily, there's no chance if it going to waste. Originally $12, down to $7.20

Biore Ultra Deep Cleansing Pore Strips
6 strips for $6.99

Biore Ultra Deep Cleansing Pore Strips. I have been wanting to try these forever so with them being on sale for $4.20 instead of $7 I grabbed a box of these as well.

Simple Kind To Skin cleansing facial wipes
25 wipes for  $6.99

I actually ran out of makeup wipes the day before I went shopping and I've been on the hunt for a new brand to try because I'm just not impressed with the ones I bought last time. So when I had a couple of girls mention that they really love the Simple ones I had to try them out. I opted to go with the standard kind to skin cleansing wipes to start with but there are a few different ones. If you guys reckon I should try one of the other types or have a particular brand of makeup wipes you love leave a comment for me to check them out. :) $4.20 instead of $7.

Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam in light/medium
200ml for $19.99

I actually picked up the Bondi Sands self tanning foam in  light/medium for a friend, I bought more than enough the last time it was on sale for myself. They were $12 instead of $20.

Last but not least I bought a 59ml spray bottle.
Yeah I know, a spray bottle. And what a random amount that is!
But I buy the big bottles of toner from Lush and mine leaks a little, which is fine when I'm at home but I needed a little bottle to go in my skincare bag for work. Plus it was only $3.39

All up I spent $57.96, saving $36.38.

Did you guys pick anything up from the sale? What did you buy if you did?

Australia Day Essentials.

Hey beauties,

So my friends and I have have an Australia Day tradition of going to a friends house, listening to the a triple J top 100, while sipping on drinks and chilling in the pool before either walking down to the foreshore or the end of the street to watch the fireworks.

And while this is an amazing tradition there are some important things to remember.

Sunscreen.

Seriously guys! Like all the time. It's going to be 37 in Perth so please remember to apply and reapply sunscreen and read the instructions for the sunscreen you choose to use. If it says wait half an hour before going into the water then wait the half an hour! Otherwise it'll just wash off and not protect you.

Water.

I know a lot of my followers are over 18 and can legally drink in Australia and probably will, but remember that with the heat and drinking it is very easy to get dehydrated. So drink water regularly please.

Lip balm.

If you opt not to wear makeup on Australia Day then that's cool, but please use a lip balm, preferably one with spf. And if you want a bit of colour then there are plenty of coloured ones to consider when you pack one.

Makeup.

Makeup is definitely not an essential but I thought I'd include it anyway.

If you're going into the pool then take that into consideration. My makeup with be very minimal because of that.

I'm basically going super simple with a tinted moisturiser or bb cream with spf, a nude waterproof eyeliner just to make me look a lot more awake, Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow pomade, a matte lip product because then I don't have to reapply and I love colour on my lips and possibly a clear mascara just to make my lashed look longer if I can be bothered.

Have a great day beauties and enjoy it, make sure to be safe!

Beauty Resolutions 2015

Hey Beauties

So today I have for you my 2015 beauty/blogger resolutions.

Beauty.
My main focus this year beauty wise is to focus on skin care. I feel that I need to get into a good skin care routine and stick to it. I spent way too much time in 2014 arguing with my skin, over it being dry or having breakouts when I shouldn't and I'm sick of it.

So skin care routine is my number one priority.
My other resolutions for beauty are to use up more products because I have way too many.
Yes, I admit it. I have too much makeup and body products and I should cull my collection a bit.

Blogging.
I have been terrible at sticking to some sort of a blogging schedule, but the second half of 2014 was filled with a lot of drama and stress that is all gone now.

 

So my resolutions for blogging 2015 are to post a blog at least once every two weeks. I know it doesn't seem like much but it doesn't mean that I can't do more posts in that time frame if I want to, it's just the minimum. :)
Also, I plan on  buying a camera to help take better blog photos because having to always wait for good lighting is annoying, especially when I have a job where half my shifts are night ones.

That's it for today beauties but keep an eye out for my top 14 of 2014 post that should be up in the next week. :)
