Practically Free - Skincare Haul



So about a month ago, right as uni started and all of a sudden I had to abandon blogging for far more boring and less interesting things like essays, Priceline had a 40% off skincare sale. 40% off guys, that’s practically free.  Admittedly I haven’t had a chance to use all of these products yet as they lay in wait in their pink bags waiting to be photographed but I thought it would be worth showing you what I got.

What I went in to get:
Hydraluron: I have heard so many amazing things about this product and wanted to see what the hype was about. Perfect sale opportunity!
La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo: another massively hyped up product that I didn’t want to spend big bucks on since I’ve never tried it. Got the last one in store!
Nivea In Shower Body Moisturiser: I had seen this product raved about on the UK beauty blogs I follow and was excited to see them come to Australia so quickly (not a lifetime later like everything else). I got the one for normal skin and dry skin to see which one suited me better. My boyfriend’s skin is drier than mine so I thought we’d get use out of both.

Then things got a bit out of hand.

When I lost control:

For the aforementioned boyfriend I grabbed the Cetaphil Moisturising Cream for dry, sensitive skin and the St Ives Green Tea Scrub

The 40% off went to my head and I ended having a very heavy basket by the time I was done. I grabbed the St Ives Apricot Scrub that I’ve wanted to try for a little while. Then the Simple Brightening Eye Cream, honestly I don’t know why I bought this, but I don’t have a relationship with another eye cream so this one will do fine. I went for the Sukin Facial Moisturiser because I wanted one without SPF and I love the ethos of that brand.  A couple of blogger inspired purchases at the end were the Palmer’s Moisturizing Body Oil I spotted on More ThanAdored and the Garnier Ultra Softening Lotion for dry skin Kate from gh0stparties raved about.

I left Priceline with a heavy bag and a light purse but I’ve enjoyed having more skincare products to try out this month!


Have you tried any of these products?

Has a sale made you lose control?

  2. Great haul. The St Ives scrub is good, and I like the Nivea In Shower Body Lotion. I'd like to try the hydraluron. Let us know how you go. The Effaclar duo is good but drying. I tend to use it on small areas as needed rather than all over the face like it says on the tube. Have a great time trying it all out!
