Mini Haul

Another day, another shopping trip. And that's how I lurrve to spend my holidays. So without further ado, here are some things I picked up on my most recent trip to Sydney City Westfield.

Origins Make A Difference Plus Rejuvenating Treatment (Cream) - $59
I've been in need of a decent moisturiser since I made my skincare routine a priority in the new year. It was a toss between this and Origins Ginzing Moisturiser, but once the shop assistant told me about the Make A Difference Plus range there was no going back. This range is all about rehydrating and repairing which is great for the cold weather. 

Theres also three different formulas for this moisturiser which all aim to target different skin types - so it's important to know what you're buying. The more rich formula is best for dry skin, and the two others both target combination/oily skin but one is a gel and the other, which is the one I purchased, is a cream. Finally a rich moisturiser that doesn't make oily skin oiler - who knew they could be so hard to find?

I didn't really need anything else but that didn't stop me from picking up a few things from Priceline and Lush anyway. I've recently been loving the L'Oreal Micellar Solution, as a cheaper alternative to my Bioderma, so I thought i'd give Garnier 's take on this new beauty craze to see how they compare. The new Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Polishes have just hit the Aussie shelves and as my nail polish collection is getting waaay too big, I decided to pick up just one shade - Chocolate Truffle. Maybe its because of my post-easter choco cravings?

And of course, a trip to the City would not be complete without a bit of oo-ing and ah-ing at Lush. I swear, if I could, I would buy that whole store. In the end, I did restrain myself and only picked up the Tea Tree Toner Water as I'm always in need of some tea tree products and this can also be sprayed on make up throughout the day to keep you wide awake. I also repurchased my favourite Bath Bomb, Butterball.

I hope you guys enjoyed my post, please comment below if you've tried out any of these products or whether you would after reading this.

Priceline Mini Haul

So as i had a pretty exhausting week of being on uni break (hehe) i decided to do a mini splurge on some of the products i have been wanting to purchase for awhile...

Maybelline Dream Fresh 8 in 1 BB Cream 30 ml - $15.95 - Just wanted to try out a BB Cream as an alternative to foundation on days where my skin needs a bit of a break.

Ecotools Blush Brush - $16.99 - I've been waiting to purchase the Real Techniques brushes but unfortunately they cost $45 in store! So i'm going to buy them online and in the meantime try ecotools blush brush out :)

Maybelline EyeStudio Lasting Drama Gel Pot 3g - $16.95 - I've heard alot about this product and its comparison to the MAC Fluidline gel eye liner. So i decided to try it out in the shade Charcoal - which is alot softer than my current black liquid liner and a nice alternative on my casual days.

Neutrogena Combination Skin Moisturiser 118ml - $13.99 - Just ran out of my regular Simple moisturiser for sensitive skin so thought i might try this out as a change to hopefully control my shiny T-Zone!

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter 2.55 g - $21.95 - As ive heard so many great reviews on these lip butters i decided i couldnt resist! So i bought them in Candy Apple which is a bright red coral and Raspberry Pie which is a dark raspberry pink.

Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner - $10 on sale- I actually don't own a red lip liners only nude/pink ones so i decided to try this out to try with my Candy Apple Lip Butter as it was pretty affordable. It's more of a crayon than a pencil and it feels really smooth to apply - well on my hand anyway!

aaaand on a less exciting note i also bought Dove GOFresh Deodorant and Colour Care Shampoo/Conditioner.. they were on special who could resist? :)
