Weekend Drugstore Haul

- reviewed by L

Hey guys! This is going to be a short post, just on a few items I picked up whilst running errands at Parkmore Shopping Centre.

Technically I was meant to take my brother to Kmart to get him some Khung Zhu toy, because he bought a race course set to race 'hamsters' (which he doesn't have) so now he has a race course with no hamsters to race. Being the great sister I am, I took him to Parkmore, and dragged him straight to the make-up section in KMART and Priceline. I managed to purchase all of these for under $20! 

Ok so just quickly on what I managed to purchase today.

BYS - JUMBO Liquid Eyeliner Pen 

Store: KMART

Price: $5.75

I've been wanting to get a jumbo liner for awhile now, noticed this on the shelf and read that it was water-proof and smudge-proof (AWESOME) and figured I'd give it a go. Application is easy, the pointy tip offers good precision and is ease of control.

Face Of Australia - Glossy Lip Crayon; Raspberry Coulls

Store: KMART

Price: $4.75 (Originally $7.95)

Saw that the FOA lip crayons were on sale, I thought I'd grab another one to add to my collection. Love that these are so moisturizing! How could I not get more? 

Essence - 'METAL glam' Highlighter Powder

Store: Priceline

Price: $5.35

I needed a highlighter, Essence had one in their new "METAL glam" range. Meant to be. So I grabbed it. It's well pigmented.

Essence - 'METAL glam' Gold Topper

Store: Priceline

Price: $3.50

This was a splurge buy, it basically just layers pieces of gold flakes on top of your nails. The great thing is that it dries quick, I would suggest though putting a thin layer of clear top coat on afterwards as well. (You can see in the two swatches above of how the gold topper looks).

So what did you think of my haul today? Feel free to leave a comment below :)

Oh and my brother's KUNG ZHU 'hamster' ended up being a discontinued toy line. He's pretty upset over it. Poor fella.

Review: Simple Skincare

Hey guys! So i just popped by my local Coles store and discovered that the Simple Skincare - Cleansing Facial Wipes are 50% off! Originally the retail price of these packs are $7.58 but I scored these for only $3.98! I had heard so many good reviews on this brand from S and had always wanted to try them out, but never really wanted to spend that much on something that I didn't think was a necessity. Really happy with this find though! But since I haven't had the chance to try this out yet, S will be doing the review below!

Okay, what can I say about this product? If you don't already know, my skin is BEYOND sensitive, and can often get really dry and flaky. I'm always hesitant to try new skincare ranges as often, the poor result outweighs the intended use of the product. 

Originally, I wanted to try cleansing wipes as I constantly heard great things about them. They seemed like a quick and easy way to remove my make-up and are easily portable in your handbag! So I decided to try a random Nivea packet out, without researching first. My second mistake, was that I had chosen something that was not made for sensitive skin. Let me just tell you, that did not end well! But even so, now that I know more about facial wipes (through trial and error), even wipes that claim to be for 'sensitive skin' still irritate my face.

So imagine my joy when I came across the Simple Skincare range. Low in prices and high in quality! Definitely a score! I am absolutely in LOVE with their products! They are honestly and genuinely very "kind" to my skin. I have not tried all their products but I'm fairly sure that most, if not all, are unfragranced. A big tick in my books!

I picked up two of the Simple moisturisers when they were on special at Priceline not too long ago. They are both unfragranced and have a lightweight non-greasy texture. The moisturisers apply smoothly leaving a cooling sensation on your skin. I've found that the Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser works exceptionally well under foundation as a base. The Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturiser has a thicker consistency, which I believe works wonderfully under foundation when targeting more flaky areas of skin.

I put these moisturisers on before I sleep. I use them before applying makeup. I use them on problem areas of skin all over my body. If it's gentle enough to use on a baby, then personally, it's more than good enough for me! The retail price is around $9.99 for 125ml of moisturising goodness. So whether you have sensitive skin like mine, or are just in a market for a great moisturiser, I recommend giving the Simple Skincare range a try! :)
