Priceline 2 day 40% off skincare Sale ~ nanoblur ~ hydraluron ~ snoxin

Priceline had a 40% off all skincare sale on Tuesday and Wednesday!

Most brands only ever go on 30% off at MOST so this was a good chance to buy those products you've been eyeing! Not only that, some brands never go on sale too!

I've been on a de-hoarding and budgeting plan so i have not been eyeing any products or been in need of anything :)

However it doesn't hurt to look and see what would be the best item to buy on this sale right? :D

I did end up getting some exciting stuff!

I bought a Nanoblur which i have tested on the back of my hand before and it definitely does have a matte blurred effect on the skin. I had wished i read reviews online first because apparently it doesn't work well with make up. Whats the point of using this without make up on when i'm going to look ugly anyways??? lolol 

I also picked up from the same company Indeed Laboratories, Hydraluron which is a moisture booster. This caught my attention and i have dry skin so i got 2 of these. I'm so glad i came home to raving reviews on this product. The size is a tiny 30ml but withthe 40% off it was around $22 which made it a decent price compared to the Dr Lewinns Super Hydrator 30ml $89.95. It's not as sticky and disappears into the skin quickly. I do enjoy still feeling the moisture on the skin which the Dr Lewinn's does though.

I decided to also get the Snoxin from the same brand since i was already getting most of their stuff. When i tested this on the back of my hand, it felt nice. The spot on my hand looked nicer instantly too! Maybe it's in my mind :D But i bought it anyways. When else would be a better time to try it? 

Maybe i should have got the eye cream too much i don't have eye wrinkles. I do have some darkness and sagging under the eyes but that's probably all genetics and i'm not convinced anything will save them now.

I'm super excited to try the Hydraluron mostly because i feel like that's something i need straight away. Nanoblur was just for fun. I don't have shiny skin that needs to be mattified. If i can't use make up over this, then it's kind of useless to me but i'll see if i can make it work. If Snoxin is as amazing as it claims, and a cheaper alternative to the Lancome Genefique. I may start adding it to my routine regularly. I didn't think the Genefique was doing anything for me, but my skin did feel like it was in a good condition until i stopped so it must have been doing something!

Overall i really like this brand and think it has so much potential. The ingredients list is short and not filled with fillers. Which is what i like since i need to avoid gluten in my beauty products as well!

I hope they come out with more stuff! But maybe not because i really don't need more products lol I can't wait to finally reach the point where i have one-two back up of stuff, not 20. It's exhausting to use 5 body cleansing products in the shower every day lol Gotta use them up somehow right? :D

I've resorted to old body lotions as shower washes and old facial moisturizers as hand cream. I've been pretty good at not buying more skincare :) except this one time hehe

If you've stumbled across my blog, you probably like shopping. I know i do lol

However being a shopaholic can be a bad thing. I was definitely one for a long time. However i grew up in a family which always knew saving was important. 

I've really let go last year and spent way too much. It got to the point where i was spending all my pay every week and i knew i had to stop. I've been doing ok this financial year :) My goal is to stop being a shopaholic/hoarder. I don't need more stuff! My room is overcrowded and i'm never going to be able to downsize my stuff at this rate!

So when i got an email to review MyProsperity i knew it was something that could be of use to me. It is a website which allows you to have better control of your finances. It securely links your bank accounts, credit cards, loans, super, shares, property, car, etc all in one place and best of all it is free!

It allows you to design your own budget plan and sorts out your spending for you. You can see all your money related stuff in one place which i think is the best way to know how your financial situation really is. Sometimes i spend on one card but i monitor my other bank account more. Before i know it, i've spent everything in one account without realising and thinking i still have money :(

I usually put all my spendings on a very VERY messy spreadsheet. I use EditGrid which i can access online everywhere but their servers are always down so i have been looking for a new option :)

I've signed up and so far the website navigation is easy. They also have a easy set up steps for you at the beginning. There's a few sections where you can add goals and budgets. Apparently if i want to save for a new car, it's going to take me 150 months if i only add $200 in per month lol... no more goal of a new car any time soon :P I really like how it puts your goals and plans into perspective. Now i know if i want a new car within the next 1-2 years, i'm going to have to buckle down and save hard!

Finding a good way to watch your spending and money flow is so important these days. Money is put into all kinds of things like share, investments or even an old sock in your drawer :P lol Keeping track can be a headache trying to gather everything together. I know because i did my tax recently and i hated looking for all my files and logging into all my bank accounts! 

I think this website service is great and something we all need in our busy lives.

If you need help with budgeting or just want to be able to see all your finances in one place, check out MyProsperity.com.au! They even provide a free car and house worth valuation :) 

New Prada Bag! Prada Saffiano Lux BN1786 in Baltico Navy Black Blue

For my Birthday last month i got the Prada bag i've been wanting from L :)

It's their Saffiano Lux tote bag which is their popular standard bag design. It's my first luxury designer bag, and although the price still hurts, we only live once and if you can afford to get one, why not. I always knew i would indulge in one someday :) But letting go of the money is always hard especially when you slave away at work for so long just to be able to purchase one of these!

I'm afraid i know this will not be the only overpriced bag i will possess in my lifetime :D But it's a good start! I've wanted this for it's simple elegant design. It's very sturdy leather. Should not easily stain and the design will go with everything. It's a classic piece which should stay within trend for years and years.

The problem was choosing the colour. I was set on Navy or Black. Should i go safe and stick with Black? Or should i add a bit of fun and go Navy? When we were at the store choosing out my bag, they had the seasonal colours available :D Which is how i came upon 'Baltico'. A Black Blue! My perfect shade! It's so much more classy than the Navy but not as flat and boring as the Black! I knew straight away this was the one :)

This is how the colour looks in real life. Isn't it beautiful? :)

With Flash! Definitely see the blue tones in this now.

I feel like this bag needs a seatbelt on in the car :P

I hope this can become my everyday bag and i can the money's worth in use out of it! I've got one of those plastic bases from a supermarket environmental canvas bag to put in the base so it keeps it shape ok. But i don't mind if it doesn't stay 'boxy' since i want it to look like a comfortable everyday bag. Sadly i've only used this bag twice as i don't want to bring it to work where it sits unattended in a cupboard all day with a good chance of it being possibly stolen! On my days off i don't tend to bring a handbag with me when i drive around to local places :( Must find places to bring this bag! It's so roomy i can fit everything in it. I might start bringing this to work but after i've done all the leather protecting stuff hehe

I love this bag so much :) But once you own one, you realise you don't need a million designer bags like you dreamed of hehe. I'm at the stage in my life where i've tossed all those cheap bags where i had like 20 different designs and have stuck to the one basic black bag everyday. What age were you guys when you decided to stick to one handbag only like most 'adults'. Not that adults should stick to one bag but my mum always uses one bag for everyday, so did my teachers and older people i've come across :)

I can't wait till i choose my next designer bag to put on my want list. But i'm super happy with this bag and will wait till it's a little worn before i even consider wanting another pricey bag :P

BTW i've been meaning to do a massive haul post for the past month. But my laptop screen broke and i'm using an old laptop which won't connect to my phone so i can't upload photos easily. It's really such a hassle and has made blogging so inconvenient :( I'm working on it though, i've bought so much fun stuff, i can't wait to share soon :)

Clearasil Vitamins & Extracts Daily Clear Wash and Mask Review and Giveaway :)

Product Talk by Nuffnang

Clearasil Vitamins & Extracts Daily Clear Wash and Mask $10.99

I was sent this item to review around a week ago. It is the new Clearasil Vitamins & Extracts Daily Clear Wash and Mask. 

"Formulated with Avocado Extracts and nourishing Vitamin E, glycerine for hydration, as well 

as Pomegranate fruit extract, an anti-oxidant known to help keep skin looking and feeling 

healthy, these delicious smelling products cleanse gently and do not leave your skin over 

dried."

Definitely sounds like it's packed with lots of goodness for the skin. The packaging is a easy to use squeezy tube :) It smells so lovely. Very refreshing and soothing. It is a greenish grey colour with a cream gel texture. It reminds me a lot of Dermalogica's Dermal Clay Cleanser. But when used on the face it definitely feels more like a watery gel and smooths out very nicely. It's at a very good price too for only $10.99!

This is great for the mornings when you need something to freshen up your face and is gentle enough to just clean off left over cream from the night before :) i would recommend this as an everyday morning face wash or even for nights where you just bummed at home all day and don't have much to wash off :) Sometimes its better to use gentle products that don't strip off everything too harshly. Gotta give the skin some R&R now and then right :P

Priceline Skincare Goody bag June 2013!

Priceline is having another Goody bag offer again! This time it's on skincare and you have to spend $60 or over on the selected brands :) I got mine already hehe and they seem to be almost out since it's Saturday today. You might be able to find a few more left in some stores. It's a really good one too so if you're in need of some stuff anyways, this is the best time to buy!

On Thursday night, just 20 minutes before all the shops were to close, i rushed into Priceline on the drive back home from the city and grabbed a basket, threw stuff in and went on my way as they were slowly kicking people out. 

In such a rushed manner, i didn't make a very good choice with what i needed to buy. I knew i needed make up wipes as my last pack was coming to an end and a few packs of pore strips, you will always need these babies. 

So i ended up buying pretty much all make up wipes and a few packs of pore strips. There looked like only 3 goody bags left on the shelf like they were almost out!

The next day when i was at work, there is a better Priceline there and i had a good chance to look at all the skincare on sale as well. My local Priceline has skincare divided into this 4 section maze and i didn't see most of the offers the night before. This Priceline still had shelves full of goody bags!

I really didn't need an extra goody bag as i already have more than enough skincare at home. I still have unopened stuff from last year's goody bag! But the skincare was 30% off and i went through convincing reviews on my phone. I decided to just go for it. 

My sisters got the goody bag as well so we all did product trades and swapped for things we would use which was good hehe.

Dr. Lewinns Reversaderm Micro-Cellular Age Correcting Peel

I'm not at the age that Dr. Lewinns products are targeted for but they do have products which interest me. And it's usually these brands that have good stuff that works! I've also bought their new cleansing oil and will do a review on it later.

I've bought quite a few skincare products lately but haven't had the time or energy to do any posts but i will post pictures and mini reviews next :D If anyone has had good or bad experiences with Dr. Lewinns please let me know! I've got a lot of their basic stuff which i haven't gotten around to really using properly yet and their new products really look appealing :D
