What's a girl to do on a rainy Monday when she doesn't have to go to work? Go shopping instead! The post-Christmas sales started yesterday, but I decided to wait one day before braving the crowds.
I went with my mum, which is always dangerous because I always end up buying a lot, but that's because she's a fantastic bargain hunter. Mum's shopping style:
trawl through every rack, every stall, every nook and cranny until she unearths bargains. My shopping style:
enter shop, do a quick scan of the racks and the walls, don't see anything that I like, leave within 1 minute of entering.
So here's what I ended up getting today.
First stop: Priceline!
- Maybelline mascara - The Falsies Blackest Black (I've read so many great reviews about Falsies, but today was the only time I saw it at the shops in AU so I'm excited to try it out! I wonder if it will knock my Max Factor False Lash effects off the current pedestal.)
- Revlon mascara 3D extreme - blackest black (this was reduced to $6.95AUD from $21.95, bargain)
- Bourjois 10hour Sleep effect foundation in 74 - this is a bit dark for me actually, but I already have #72, and I generally mix my foundations to get the right colour for me, so this will be perfect.
- Bourjois Healthy Mix anti-fatigue concealer in 51 light radiance - Priceline had all bourjois items at 50% off.
- Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Flexible Style Hairspray
I will do a proper review of my purchases when I've had a chance to try them out.
Then went to Myer, didn't get inspired to buy anything... oh yeah just bought some new baking sheets and a pizza cutter, but they're not exciting enough to make it into my post!
The rest of my purchases today were from Kookai, Portmans, Cotton On and Collette. Here they are...
 |
The earrings were 50% off and were only about $4.50AUD. The ring was full price, a whopping $7.95AUD. I love Collette, it's my new fave place to get cheap jewellery. |
 |
One-shoulder top from Kookai. Reduced to $30AUD. The colour is a beautiful bright tangerine, which I wasn't really able to capture on film. |
 |
Portmans black t-shirt with shoulder detail, reduced to $19.95AUD. I'll be wearing this with a white pencil skirt to work, but I can always wear it more casual with jeans. |
 |
Cotton On grey long singlet with black polka dots, reduced to $10AUD. Great for layering. |
 |
Kookai singlets in aqua and red, reduced to $15AUD. Great worn under blazers. |
I also went to borders and bought a couple of travel books (I love travel writing), and also bought some shorts for my husband from Cotton On just so he doesn't think all I ever buy is stuff for me, LOL.
All up I'm quite happy with the bargains I got! Have you done any post-christmas sales shopping yet? what bargains did you get?
Great purchases! I got a few bargains at Priceline too, I'm tempted to go back for more.
ReplyDeleteI love priceline, I spend wayyy too much money in there. Do a post on your goodies too, I love seeing what beauty products others are buying.

I LOVE The Falsies!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna try my Falsies today Gaby, I have high hopes of it!
ReplyDeleteLove the ring and earrings! I've never heard of Collette - I'm guessing we don't have it here in Adelaide. :-(
ReplyDeleteThose earrings are so cuuttee!! I love dangle funky earrings!
ReplyDeleteDee, Collette's fairly new in Sydney. In the last 6 months I've been seeing itt spring up at pretty much every shopping centre, so I'm sure it'll make its way to Adelaide soon enough. It's like a posh version of Diva but at half the price!
