Priceline haul + FREE giftbag worth $200 :D

It's THAT time of the year again where Priceline has their massive promotion where you spend $50 on a certain brands and receive a gift bag worth $200. 

(To find out what I haul-ed and what was included in the gift bag, click HERE)

I know, I have a stash of make up which is probably enough to last me more than a life time and I really don't need any extra products. But... this is such a good deal and this promotion only happens one a year. 

Why miss the opportunity? :P

So, what products did I purchase in order to score that gift bag??? 

REVLON Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Coral Reef and Nude Lustre, Australis Liquid Concealer Pen, Rimel Match Perfection 2 in 1 Concealer & Highlighter and Australis Colour Inject Mineral Lipstick in Honky Tonk.

REVLON is currently having 2 for 1 promotion for their lip and nail products. 

Got both the lipglosses for $21.95, which is quite a good deal for Australian standard. :)

This is your chance if you have been waiting to try Revlon's products! 

I have been looking for a new under eye concealer to replace my Garnier Anti Dark Circle Roll On (because I am kinda bored of it =.=") and decided to give Australis Liquid Concealer Pen and Rimmel Match Perfection 2 in 1 Concealer & Highlighter a try. Will let you guys know how I like it once I try both of them out. :)

The Australis Colour Inject Mineral Lipstick in Honky Tonk is a gorgeous coral-pinkish colour. As much as I love to expand my ridiculously large lipstick collection, this gorgeous baby here will be included in my upcoming giveaway.:D

Enough of my mini haul, I am sure you guys are curious about the freebies that were included in the gift bag. :P

$200 worth of freebies and a gift bag. *win*

The products that were included are:

* Nair mini wax strips

* Manicare Angled Brush

* Hollywood Stain Remover

* Natralia health & wellbeing shampoo and conditioner free sample

*Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunscreen Spray

Have you grab your giftbag from Priceline? :D

Collective HAUL #1

Hello lovelies,

TGIF is not something I would say often, only during my internship days as being a Commerce student simply means 3-days-week and every week is a long weekend for me. However, after spending the entire week at work, with almost full time hours, I was really looking forward to this weekend. (And also, the first time ever to feel the whole long weekend hype). My Friday wasn't a good one, I must say. Apart from being stuck at work (the generating cash flow part is sweet though =P), I got my rejection from KPMG after my application being put on hold (or like what they call it " still in consideration") for 1.5 weeks. What a way to start my weekend. :(

Thank god, it got slightly better after having Happy Hour (2 for 1) cocktails @ Kuletos, Newtown with Wendy after work and we ended the night with fatty but yummy Thai Food.

Enough of whining and complaints. How was your Friday, lovelies? Hope it was much better than mine. :)

ANYWAYS,

Let's proceed to the HauLLLLLLL. I have always enjoyed watching haul videos/ reading haul posts, so I decided to start my very first haul post (since YT is failing me atm) and I am sure MANY more to come. :)

So, while waiting for Wendy in the city last night, I headed to Priceline, with the initial intention to just grab my eye drops (which I desperately needed as my contact lenses were acting on me) and meet up with her. I conveniently forgotten about the promotion a friend of mine told me a week ago, a friggin' awesome promotion which I will probably attempt to shoot myself if I miss.

You get a FREE Goodie Bag worth $150 if you spent $50 or more on certain brands.

I don't mean to sound like I am an affluent brat or whatsoever, but spending $50 in Priceline is not really a mission at all, considering how expensive and overpriced drugstore products are in Australia. Took me less than 10 minutes to grab a few products which added up to a grand total of $52.50.

'RIMMEL Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner Pencil in Royal Blue (as I am currently into the whole Neutral POP Look)

'ECOTOOLS Bamboo Foundation Brush

' REVLON PhotoReady foundation in Natural Beige (Yes, I have finally jumped the PhotoReady bandwagon)

' REVLON ColorStay Eyeliner in Black (Got this for free, wanted to to try their Mascara, but they ran out :( )

- REVLON is having a promotion now too, Buy ANY face product and you get an eye product FREE-

NOW, let's move on to the goodie bag, shall we???

All the goodies come in this gorgeous shinny black tote bag ♥

A bag-load of goodies.

- MANICARE Concealer Brush

- REVLON Color Stay Velvet Creme Sample in Natural Beig

- PRESTIGE Cosmetics Eyehadow in Suede

- 1000 Hour Colour Lashes ( It would have been better if it doesn't have rhinestones attached to it)

- REVLON Nail Enamel in 791 Midnight Affair ( Although I have never really been a fan of blue, I really like this colour. I have just painted my nails with this new baby, so stay tune for NOTD.)

-SHE Wash Away Milk Cleanser (Never knew the existent of the brand SHE but I guess it's worth giving a go since my skin generally doesn't react when I switch products)

- BIORE Pore Unclogging Scrub ( It is stated on the packaging that this is a Sacylic Acid Acne Treatment and I barely get acnes, so I doubt I will use it)

- INNOXA Daily Moisture Protection with SPF 15.

- Swisspers Cucumber Cleansing Wipes

- PALMER's Body Gloss

- PALMER's Concentrated Cream, which softens and relieves rough, dry skin.

- PALMER's Foot Magic, which deeply moisturizes rough, dry skin and apparently soothes tired feet. (Maybe I should try it after clubbing tonight LOL)

- Charles Worthington Stay Smooth Shampoo (Charles what? Haven't heard of this brand before but will definitely try this out after my curly and frizzy in growns start to dominate my rebonded hair.

- Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Conditioner

- Marc Daniels Big Hair Intensive Thickening Cream ( My hair is thick enough, thank you very much)

That's a whole load of freebies for $52.50, including the Revlon promotion. I did not actually do the math there but by the look of it, it is definitely value for money albeit there were quite a few random products included.

If you're living in Australia and there's a Priceline near your place (which I am pretty sure there is, since Priceline is EVERYWHERE), what are you waiting for? =P

The Marketing Teams are very intelligent beings. By issuing you a loyalty card, and a few tiny rebates here and there every month, not-so-rational consumers (like yours truly) are highly likely to spend some ka-ching at the store eventhough we don't really need that product nor like it. We buy simply because it is "so cheap"and its "on offer" and we "accumulate points" anyway.

The few products that I have grabbed in the past one month:

- PHYSICIAN FORMULA Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Matte Finishing Veil in Translucent Organics

- RIMMEL I ♥ Lasting Finish in Tangerine Queen

- MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study

- MAC Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick (It took me a while to decide whether I should get this but I am glad that I finally bought it cos I am absolutely in love with this colour! HEY, its limited edition and all the proceeds from sales goes to MAC AIDS Fund)

- SPORTS GIRL Shade Lady EyeColour in Holy Smoke

- MAYBELLINE Color Sensational Lipstick in Pink Please

This is an exceptional circumstance, where I do actually want all of these products, except for the Physician Formula's Mineral Finish. I bought it because I was sent a $10 Physician Formula Voucher by Priceline along with my loyalty card and Priceline was having 20% off all skincare products a week ago. *Fail in being a rational spender*

A couple more purchases/ freebies I got:

Creamy Scaled Bag from Sports Girl - Got this gorgeous bag for $14.95 from $39.95. *absolute steal*

My love for animal printed stuffs is getting slightly unhealthy.

Got this gorgeous dress and the animal printed top for 15 bucks each at Market City.

FREE Bec & Bridge Tote that comes with May's CLEO
