I spent roughly $110 on makeup. Oops. Does that cover it? My husband gets this look on his face when I start fast-talking after one of these sales. It's basically very calm, yet wide-eyed (resigned, perhaps?) then he simply asks "how much?". Then I tell him and he shakes his head and we both laugh. LOL. Here's everything I bought in the Priceline 40% Off Cosmetics Sale!
Revlon Colorstay MakeUp (Combination/Oily) in Ivory
Covergirl Outlast Stay Luminous Foundation in Classic Ivory
Australis Fresh & Flawless Pressed Powder in Natural
Australis High Life Highlighting Powder
Face of Australia Colour Max Blush in O Peachy!
Models Prefer Radiance Collection Cream Palette
Models Prefer Eye Brightener
Max Factor Excess Shimmer Eyeshadow in Bronze
Rimmel The Only One lipstick in Call Me Crazy
Maybelline ColorBlur Cream Matte Pencil in Orange Ya Glad
Maybelline Masterliner in Black
I'm so happy with this haul! I got a few back-ups of my staple items at bargain prices (Revlon Colorstay, Maybelline Masterliner - unfortunately my shade of Maybelline Fit Me Concealer was sold out, so I missed out there) and managed to pick up the exact shade of Max Factor Excess Shimmer I wanted (Bronze), after raving about the Copper coloured eyeshadow in my January Beauty Favourites.
My other goal was to buy some fun products that were new to me, and I did that with the Models Prefer Cream Palette, Covergirl Stay Luminous Foundation and Maybelline ColorBlur lip pencil! Also, I'm seriously deficient when it comes to blush, and have hit pan on my beloved Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush (reviewed here), so was thrilled to find the (very cheap!) FOA O Peachy blush.
And lastly, I am super happy with my new Rimmel The Only One lipstick in Call Me Crazy! Earlier this year I received six shades in this range to trial (you can read my Review here) and fell in love with the formula. When I read other bloggers reviews I also fell in love with the shade Call Me Crazy, and now it's finally mine! Check it out on my lips below....
Fun side-note: I was kind of shocked at the total, because my maths skillz are shit (and that's being generous) so all my in-store estimates involved simply halving the price. I figured 50% off would be pretty close to 40% off but I GUESS NOT. I actually added up everything on my iPhone afterwards just in case the cash register had got it wrong. LOL.

I'm linking up to the Fabulous And Fun Life Monday MakeUp Madness Linky Party!
Did you pick anything up and if so what? If you have a Haul post from this sale, link it up in the comments!
Hahaha, I feel you on lack of maths skillz (#dyscalculaic) and I'm the same, I just assume it's "nearly half price". You got a good haul, I will be attending the Hindley Street store in future sales.
ReplyDeleteLOl at #dyscalculaic! Yeah, they didn't have Physicians Formula, but you can always pop up to the Myer Centre one after for any extras!
DeleteI wish my husband just laughed when I told him how much I spent at sales! I normally avoid telling him unless he specifically asks.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I'm normally so excited I want to show him all the products I got. He has zero interest but that never stops me!
DeleteNice picks, I also bought MP radiance kit, I just swatched it in store and can not resist to buy. I had 25$ vouchers to spend and my total was 40$, I was also shocked when I need to pay 15$ from my pocket.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I think 40% off is a bit deceptive, sounds like we all just halve it. At least you used vouchers! :)
DeleteGreat Haul! I missed the 40% off sale. Maybe next time i should plan ahead..

They don't give you much notice to prepare, that's for sure!
DeleteHey Hun, What is your opinion of the Maybelline max liner? (If you have used it of course!) I was just looking at this in the chemist but wasn't sure if it was worth getting :)
ReplyDeleteNice haul hun as always. I was a good girl this time around ;) hehe

Ooh which one is the Max one? I swear by the Maybelline Masterliner and the Master Graphic is awesome for adding wings. You generally can't go wrong with Maybelline eyeliners, they are great all round!
Deletethat lip shade is gorgeous! I really need to try that foundation! everyone raves so highly of it!
ReplyDeletePam xo/ Pam Scalfi♥
Yes and I read in the UK you guys get 15 Rimmel The Only One shades whereas in Oz we only get 12! Call Me Crazy is lovely! :)
DeleteDeficient in blush!? I think that's one makeup product i'm not deficient in, you can never have too much blush ;)
ReplyDeleteLily not Louise
Yeah I don't know how it happened! I want the Sleek blush in Rose Gold next :)
DeleteCall Me Crazy is a gorgeous colour ! I wanted to get some Colour Blur but they were all gone! It was so hectic when I went into Priceline haha. Great haul! :)

I was so lucky to get to an out of the way store, there was hardly anyone in there! Sucks you couldn't get a Color Blur. Thanks for reading, NY!
DeleteI just love a good haul! I haven't tried that new Rimmel lippie yet. One of my favourite blushes is the happy booster too!!
ReplyDeleteI love a good haul, too, especially when it's mine! lol. The Happy Booster lives up to its name doesn't it? :)
DeleteOne of the best hauls I've seen Di - I'd use every one of these products, in fact a couple of them are my HG's too. Love that Rimmel shade, and the MNY ColorBlur lip crayons are the bomb!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kat, I'm really happy with how it went down, too! :)
DeleteWOW!! 40% off. i will go definitely.
ReplyDelete40% off was pretty great!
DeleteI love your haul! I spent way too much as well, but I just keep telling myself that I didn't spend money, I saved money! haha!
ReplyDeleteKez | acaciasdreams.com
