Priceline 40% off Sale: Savvy and Essence Haul

If you live in Australia, I'm sure you would have seen, heard or was a victim in buying makeup that we didn't need, at the Priceline 40% off cosmetics sale, which was on April 23 and 24.

I was pretty excited when I saw this sale because I haven't bought "drugstore" makeup in ages, especially in Australia. I have been using brands like Napoleon, MAC and Nars etc, as I have access to buying them in the America, for the same or even cheaper then our Drugstore prices here.

Lucky for me, I had already planned to go up to Brisbane on the Tuesday as Daiso was having their Grand Opening and having this happen on the same day was just perfect, as Brisbane city has 4 pricelines, not too far from each other.

They were all really affordable after the sale, Most of them being $1 - $3. I can't remember the exact prices. Sorry!

I only really had my mind on trying Essence as,

1. I had never tried them before
2. I have heard so many good things about them
3. Brands like Maybelline, Revlon and L'oreal, are still much cheaper in America

Enough with the Rambling and onto my haul!

I purchased 4 of their lip liners in the shades 11 in the nude, 04 Honey Bun, 07 Cute Pink and 10 Femme Fatale. These glide on so smooth and creamy. I am yet to try them out for a whole day. So far, I'm impressed.

I was planning on buying more of the Maybelline Color Tattoos, but for the price, I went with these instead. I was being good at first and only picked up 2, then went into another priceline and saw 3 more colours I wanted

Top Row: 08 The magic must go on, 09 For Fairies, 01 Coppy Right

Bottom Row: 02 Glammy goes to, 06 Rock Chic

Superfine liquid liner - Tried this, goes on and stays on good... maybe a little too good, I could barely get it off and it was coming off like a blue ink... Not sure How I feel about this.

Get BIG! lashes in Volume Curl and Volume Boost - LOVE the Volume curl. I like it as much as my favourite mascara - The Falsies, but in a different way. Picked it up because of DOMMsmiles. Love!

I bought 2 of the Quattro eyeshadows, 07 Over the Taupe (left) and 05 To die for (far right)

I always seem to buy 2 of the same shadow palettes if there is an option of buying one in brown and one in a smokey colour, I don't know why, but I just do.

I also picked up the single shadow in Cappuccino, Please! All the other colours were quite shimmery, and because I have both the Naked Palette and the Nars: and God created the women, I didn't really need anymore. (Kudos for my somewhat self control :P)

These were kind of an impulse buy. I didn't need them nor do I really use lip gloss anymore but I loved the colours.

L-R: 09 Hottest Pink, 03 Candy Bar and 01 Me & My Icecream

I had originally purchased the last 2 pictured, then at the end of the day I decided to just pick up the 1st one too, But now that I've swatch it, I regret it. It goes on too sheer. I do like the others though!

We're nearly done, I swear

 Essence quick dry top coat, Maybelline Eye makeup remover 

I bought 2 nail polishes. 132 Breakthrough (purple) & 05 Cafe Ole (Nude)

They didn't have many colours that I was interested in as I already have so many colours. These apply and glide on really well. Much like the OPI brushes. I will have to see the staying power though!

Lastly, I picked up 4 of the SAVVY Long lasting matte lipsticks;

Heyyyjune bought these and raved about them, So I thought I would give them a shot.

L-R: Morocco, San Fran, Maui & Bali.

I actually bought Bali 2 days before the sale and I absolutely loved the colour, application and the staying power. I was so impressed! I paid $5.50 for the one, which was a steal. But when the sale was on they were only $4.20 which is even better! I highly recommend these too, Thanks June!

So that concludes my somewhat lengthy Priceline Haul, Looking at it now, It looks like I bought heaps, but I only paid around $50 for the lot. Ohhh yeah ;)

I will have a play around with these and maybe do another post with swatches or reviews. We will see :)
