Target, Priceline and Miscellaneous Beauty Haul! + Something a Little Bit Fancy

Buying excessive amounts of beauty products is something I am quite guilty of. Although I should probably be saving up for a car - or the future, when it comes to makeup, nail polish or clothes, I just can't help myself! Even if I couldn't close my wardrobe or had no more storage space (you get the gist) I'd still be purchasing items to add to my stash.

That said, my post today is on a little beauty shopping spree I went on. Target and Priceline were having a 30% and 40% off beauty and makeup sale this week and despite my attempts of avoiding them, I caved in and bought some items!

From Priceline, I purchased three items: the Maybelline Fit Me Shine-Free Foundation Stick in shade 235 Pure Beige, Rimmel London Natural Bronzer in Sun Bronze and the new Vaseline Intensive Care Spray Moisturiser for Dry Skin Repair. I needed a matte bronzer as I've gotten quite tanned since summer so my foundations are running a little light on me. The foundation was something I was really interested in trying since I first noticed it popping up in various YouTube videos, so I had to buy it! I purchased the moisturiser as (I am ashamed to admit) I can get quite lazy in moisturising my skin, particularly my legs, and as the colder months are approaching, I thought it'd help me with that process since a spray is just so simple and handy!

I purchased the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, Olay Fresh Effects Powered Contour System and the Garnier Moisture Match Combination/Oily Mattifying Fresh Cream from Target. All three are new items on Australian shelves so I got a really good introductory price on them. I'm always up for trying out new facial care products so I had to try these! I was especially excited to try the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water as I've never been interested in trying the usual makeup removers you see at drug stores which look really oily or full of chemicals. For this reason, I usually just double cleanse. This one however looks like water and smells like it too so I was immediately pulled to it. Not to mention I really love the clear packaging with the pink and white detailing on the sticker and lid. Very cute!

I also made a few naughty purchases from Target and they are perfumes. They had a great offer in store and that was 'Buy three for the price of two on all clearance items in the beauty department'. Since it was Target, pretty much the whole department was on clearance so I had A LOT of choices. Now as I mentioned before, I love all beauty items, and this includes perfumes. I already have quite a large collection of perfumes so I was more than happy to add to it. Since all three of the perfumes I purchased were on sale for $40 each, I was able to purchase all three bottles for $80 using the offer! This was a great deal considering the perfumes I chose to buy.

I decided to purchase DKNY Be Delicious, Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift and Dolce & Gabbana The One For Men (for the special man in my life). I don't know what it is about that scent but I absolutely love it on him! It's so fresh, elegant and masculine all at the same time! I already gave him the bottle so I don't have a picture of it for you guys today. I'd also like to mention that both Wonderstruck and Be Delicious are really pretty scents! There were no testers so I just went with my gut instincts and chose them. What a good choice that was Nur! They both have nice sweet scents which are the types of scents I LOVE!!! So all in all, wonderful purchases which I have no regrets for!

Now to my fancy purchase... I'm not usually someone who will pay a lot of money for a product that has a big brand name on it. I'm more a sucker for quality as opposed to brand name so this purchase was really out of character for me. I purchased a Clarifying Lotion by Dolce & Gabbana for $25. Now I say this is fancy because firstly look at that gorgeous packaging!!!!! Secondly, $25 is a ridiculous amount to charge for a toner, especially since the Simple toner I usually use is priced anywhere between $8-$10 and has 50 ml more product in it. That said, I don't regret this purchase, even if it does the same thing as my drug store toner, at least the bottle is pretty and will look great on my shelf! ;)

Anyway that concludes my haul post! As always, wherever you are in the world, hope you have a great day and keep being beautiful!

Love,
