Priceline Skincare Bag Gift With Purchase!

Hi guys! Lately it seems like Priceline are always running some offer or another, so today I'm featuring their current Skincare Bag deal. If you spend $69 or more in-store or online on skincare or suncare across participating brands, you get a FREE Skincare Gift Bag valued at over $200! This offer started on April 26th and runs until May 9, or until stocks run out. I only picked this up on April 2, and there were a fair few bags left in the Myer Centre, Adelaide store, but this will of course vary depending on your state and the store you visit. If you're interested in this Bag, I'd say head in-store toot sweet, before they run out.

The participating brands, in case you want to plan your haul, are: Kotia, Olay, MooGoo, Dr LeWinns, 7th Heaven, Garnier, Skin Physics, Neutrogena, The Base Collective, La Roche-Posay, Palmers, Sukin, Simple and Clear Skincare.

Pictured above is everything I bought to qualify for this offer. Usually the brands you get to select from are also on special, which makes it even harder to reach $69, haha. I got a bottle of Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water because I'd nearly run out, then saw the Garnier Purifying Botanical Toner with Green Tea, which sounded calming, so I decided to try it. I needed more scrub so picked up the Garnier Pure Active Daily Pore Scrub Wash. I use wipes like nobody's business, and thus couldn't go past the Simple Micellar Cleansing Wipes double pack, and also picked up the Simple Regeneration Age Resisting Cleansing Wipes to try. I needed a new moisturiser since I've nearly finished my Shiseido one, so I decided to try the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Advanced Anti-Ageing Moisturiser. Then to reach the qualifying spend amount I needed a few dollars, so I got two Garnier Hydra Bomb Eye Tissue Masks, which were under $3 each.

OK, now let's look at everything you get in the Skincare Bag!

~ MooGoo Full Cream Moisturiser (120g)
~ Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Baby Dry-Touch Sunscreen SPF 50 (88ml)
~ Simple Anti-Blemish Moisturiser (75ml)
~ Sukin Foaming Facial Cleanser (125ml)
~ Olay Regenerist Whip Active Moisturiser (10g)
~ Neutrogena Youthful Boost Sleeping Mask (10ml)
~ La Roche-Posay Toleriane Mascara (4.5ml)
~ Garnier Skin Active Matcha + Kaolin Mask (8ml)
~ Dr LeWinn's Ultra R4 Restorative Day Cream (3g)
~ The Base Collective Magnesium Bath Salts (200g)
~ Palmer's Coconut Water Hydrating Sheet Mask (20ml)
~ 7th Heaven Charcoal + Black Sugar Peel Off Mask (10ml)
~ Kotia Hydrating Day Cream (5ml)
~ Kotia Brightening Eye Cream (3ml)
~ Skin Physics Dragon's Blood Soothing Gel Mask (17g) (unfortunately expired 23/07/18)
~ Voucher for $15 discount off a purchase from the Kotia range
~ Voucher for a Clear Skincare Express Microdermabrasion (valued at $59)

I think this is a great bag, especially if you are going to buy skincare anyway. I usually use the opportunity to stock up on my regular items, then add on a few newbies I'm keen to try to reach the qualifying spend. I'm a bit disappointed the Skin Physics Gel Mask expired last year and I'm not sure what to do about it! Do I take my receipt and try to swap it for a good one? I guess I should, right? Great news regarding the Clean Skincare Microdermabrasion too; they do have two locations in Adelaide! I was expecting their Clinics to be Melbourne and Sydney only, but was pleasantly surprised when I checked.

Did you pick up this GWP Bag? What do you think of it?

August Empties

Well August is gone, and with it the products I finished during the month. Here are said products and mini reviews on each.

Garnier UltraLift Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream

I am so sad that I've finished this, because it worked extremely well on me, lifting my under-eye area and diminishing the look of my dark circles, and it's been discontinued. I was initially in disbelief when I couldn't find this product in my local Woolies, but after an extensive and exhausting search through pretty much every available outlet, I give up. Garnier initially replaced it with a double-ended tube of similar product (tried it, did not get the same results), then also released a roller-ball product. There is also a tub of Garnier Ultra-Lift Pro Deep Wrinkle Dual Eye but I don't get the same results from that either. Sucks!

Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Treatment

I hardly ever put a treatment through my hair, so this was a little bit of heaven for me! Sad, I know. I was pleasantly surprised by the results. My hair was soft, smooth and silky after using this and I'm definitely going to buy this after trying the sample.

Simple Refreshing Facial Wash Gel

I wasn't overly impressed with this gel, but it was inoffensive enough, being colour and perfume free and designed for sensitive skin. Satisfactory if you're into 'no frills' products.

Alpha-H Gentle Daily Exfoliant

I have previously reviewed this product here. I would just like to add, that since writing my review, the results I experienced from using this exfoliant continued and increased. My skin became brighter and clearer with continued use. This is an expensive, but effective product. I am now using Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant instead (only because this ran out and I won the Dermalogica) :o)

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub

I absolutely hate this product with a passion. When I first used it, my face reacted badly, resulting in red, dry patches that took weeks to clear up. I left this alone for months, but recently decided to use it as a body scrub (sparingly and carefully!) as there was no way it was going anywhere near my face again. No bad reaction this time. This was just way too strong and stripped my skin dry (and I don't have sensitive skin, either). Hopefully Neutrogena don't make this any more, but if they do, proceed with caution.

Toni & Guy Volume Shampoo

This was on special so I thought I'd give it a go, considering how much I love the T&G Dry Shampoo. I didn't really notice any more volume after using this. Also the pump action dispenser is a bit of a pain in the arse in the shower. Meh.

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush

This is a reliable dry shampoo in fun, cheerful packaging, with a lovely scent. Batiste is one of my regular dry shampoos. I love Original, Blush and Tropical.


**Garnier, Toni & Guy & Batiste were purchased by me, Pantene was a freebie in the mail, Simple I won, Alpha-H was provided for consideration, Neutrogena was provided to review on another site.**
