Haul: March 21st.

I love Priceline. Only problem is, they make me spend too much money.
And for some reason, my words are underlining and i can't stop it. Lovely..

I loveeee Formula 10.0.6 -
I bought their
Keep me clean purifying facial wipes ($7.99) and their Seriously shine free mattifying oil-free moisturizer ($9.99).
I bought two more Sugarbaby KISS'n TELL lipsticks in 'Pass On' and 'Peck on the Cheek'. I'm not going to open them just yet because i may want to give them away or swap them - we'll see.

Priceline had a big carton near the counter where they had a promotion claiming that if you spent over $50, you can pick a product in the carton. There were things like:
  • Covergirl Totes
  • Sally Hansen Set (Cosmetic bag, nail polish and lip plumer)
  • Pretige Cosmetic bag and palette
  • Bourjois Concealers, mascaras and tinted moisturisers
  • Garnier Fructis Shampoo
  • Hairbrushes
etc etc..

As much as I love Sally Hansen, bourjois has really good products so i picked the
Anticerne pour petils martins concealer - boy, was that a mouthful or what!
My favourite foundation as you all know is still the 2GLO by natural glamour mineral foundation.
I went to the 1st Priceline store in my town to buy another palette since i had hit pan and they had all sold out! I was freaking out a little since these were limited edition christmas palettes and they weren't coming back (they have the permanent loose powder for $40, but i like pressed powders better because they aren't messy lol). I then went to the 2nd Priceline and they had three left - knowing me and my addiction to splurging money on makeup, i bought all three; I know, I know.

But it gives really good coverage and covers any blemishes and natural dark circles really good.
In the picture below i am wearing just the foundation all by itself.

Review: Nivea Visage Young 'Be Beautiful' tinted moisturiser

This is my first review on my blog so i hope I did okay ^.^

My review:
Because it's summer i needed something with a light, breathable coverage so I opted for this tinted moisturiser.
Like I said, it is light coverage, but that's what i was looking for in the first place - it also acted as a good moisturiser/primer for my foundation to give a little bit more glow to my face.
If i'm going to run errands and dont feel like wearing makeup i can always dab a bit on my cheeks for a slight bronzed look or even add blush on top of that to brighten up your face even more.
I have a really oily t-zone and i did end up getting a little bit oily in those areas but all the good covaerage foundations have done that too. I just blot and its all good again.
This costed me around $10AUD for a 75mL bottle which is quite convenient.I will be purchasing this again, as it is very versatile.
It is NON COMEDOGENIC: does not clog pores.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
DERMATOLOGICALLY APPROVED.
Product: 4 out of 5
Packaging: 4 out of 5
Quality: 4 out of 5
Overall: 4 out of 5
Price: ~$10AUD @ Priceline
Would I buy again?: Yes

And Here's what it says on the back of the bottle:

Is NIVEA VISAGE YOUNG be beautiful! Tinted Moisturiser the right product for me?

  • Yes, if you have normal or combination young skin.
  • Yes, if you want beautifully radiant skin without make-up

How does it work?

  • The oil-free formula provides your skin with instant moisture and is quickly absorbed.
  • Skin refining tinted pigments adapt to your natural skin tone and visibly beautify your complexion without clogging pores.
  • The special texture leaves your skin feeling noticeably softer and smoother.
  • An UVA/UVB filter systemhelps protect from the sun's radiation.

The Result:
Your complexion looks naturally radiant and even. Your skin feels fresh and soft.


Hope I did alright on the review =P
One a different note, I ended up decorating that book i showed you all.
It reminds me of Japan, Hehe <(^^,)>
I covered it in my cute sticky tapes.
My favourite is DEFINATELY my piggy tape :)
This took me a longgg time and patience (which I dont have much of) but it was well worth it!
