Drugstore Makeup Haul - Cheap Buys from Priceline

Hello my geeky friends! Today I was lucky enough to discover that my local drugstore (Priceline) was having a 40% off all cosmetics sale. Since I am extremely tight on money lately, discovering this sale came at a really good time and since I have never done a haul post before I thought this would be a great opportunity.

So, like I said above I have been very tight on money lately so all of the products I purchased were already at the lower part of the money scale BEFORE the 40% discount so I got a total of 7 products for $36.41!! AND I ended up saving $24.48, ANYWAY lets get into what I got.

Savvy Mineral Powder


















I have been wanting to invest in a translucent mineral powder for a while but they were always to expensive for me to justify getting so picking one up during this sale was an easy decision. It will be great to keep in my bag for oily skin days when its way to hot for to much foundation!

Bought for $6.00 (saved $4)

It leaves a really nice finish on my skin and since it is translucent it leaves a nice dewy type of colour to my cheeks, love it!

Savvy Black Eyeliner 
OK, so this actually isn't the exact eyeliner that I got, but I couldn't find a picture of the one I bought. Mine is just a simple black pencil with a smudger on the back, just a very nice staple to have in the makeup bag and I didn't previously have a smudging tool so it is like a 2 for 1 

Bought for $1.80 (Saved: $1.20)

For such a cheap eyeliner pencil I am super impressed with how it works! Sometimes you can buy a eyeliner pencil and it is really hard to draw onto your skin, this one has a nice creamy texture and smudges perfect with the smudging tool!

Essence 'The Lash Curler' Volume & Curl Mascara 























I was in need of a new mascara and the one I usually get was WAY to expensive for me at the moment (even with the 40% off) so I went for this one instead. I wanted on which would curl and volumise my lashes, so I have taken a leap of faith with this brand and OMG did it pay off!

Bought for $3.75 (saved $2.70)

This mascara works wonders! From the first coat on my lashes I could see a HUGE difference, and after I finished applying to both of my eyes I could have sworn I had applied fake eyelashes! The consistency is a bit wet so you have to be careful not to smudge it all over your eyes but this stuff is amazing and I definitely recommend it! 

Essence Eyeshadow Base


















I have wanted to get a eyeshadow primer for ages. I find my eyeshadow slipping all over my face, especially since it is summer here in OZ and hitting the mid 40's is unavoidable (that's degrees Celsius!!). I will be interested to see how this one lasts out in the heat.

Bought for $3.06 (saved $2.04)

Out of all of the products that I bought this one is probably the most disappointing. I'm unsure if it came in different colours but it is soooooo orange that i just stands out from my olive skin tone. I am yet to wear it out in the heat so I cant comment on that yet, but I will be sure to do that when I get the chance to wear it.

Face of Australia Brow Kit























Currently I have been using a brow pencil and eyeshadow to fill in my brows and its OK, although my brows almost always end up shimmering from the eyeshadow and smudging from the powder. I've been looking for a cheap brow kit with wax that will help keep my brows tamed and clean cut!

Bought for $5.67 (saved 3.78)

I wish I had bought more of these! It works amazing! The colour is probably a little dark for what I am after but that doesn't bother me, I only wish I had bought more because I don't think this one will last me very long at all #addictedtofillingmybrows 

Face of Australia Black Liquid Eyeliner


















I love this liquid eyeliner. It is was the first one that I ever bought myself and I have been missing it ever since my sister stole mine from me. When my sister took this one from me I decided to give the gel liner a go, since people have been raving about it, but it isn't my cut of tea. I'm glad I finally was able to buy this baby again!

Bought for $5.37 (saved $3.58)

Its perfect! That is all.

Rimmel Perfect Match Foundation























This is the foundation that I am currently using, so I thought I would stock up on it whilst it is cheap! I love it because it has some SPF to help protect my skin!

Bought for $10.77 (saved $7.18)


Have any of you guys tried any of these brands or products? what did you think? Let me know what your favorite drugstore makeup is! I love finding new products to use (especially cheap ones) also what did you think of my first haul post?

Thanks for stopping by and reading all of my pastel geeky friends, until next time. X
