I love bargains. I just love them. Here are the pieces I picked up when on a family holiday in Tasmania.First stop: Target
I was quick to spot a HUGE makeup sale with brands like Maybelline, Bourjois, Loreal and Essence all up for grabs. It took a while to sift through the red and green Essence shadows, $10 brown Maybelline lipsticks and $9 yellow Bourjois polishes and then...Revlon proved to be a bargain.
Revlon lip butter in Gumdrop: $4
Revlon lip butter in Brown Sugar: $4
Revlon Scented Nail Enamel in Pretty in Papaya: $2
Revlon Top Speed Nail Enamel in Fire: $3
All you beauty bloggers will know that those Revlon products are an absolute bargain, you would never dream of picking those products up at those prices!
The last thing I picked up from Target was the best bargain of all…
A Loreal Colour Infallible eyeshadow in Magnetic Coral for…$0.83. 83 cents!
Next I popped into the chemist and saw that they were chucking out the Garnier BB creams for $9. Having just finished mine, I decided to try out the oily skin version. I am interested in comparing them, because I used the original version everyday but found it to be a little too greasy. Hopefully this new one does the job.
I then went to Just Jeans and was drawn to their sale rack where I found a pair of shorts that were originally $50, discounted down to only $5! The only size left fit me like a glove!
Factorie was last, where I purchased a skirt and some jeans. I spotted the skirt immediately as, like so many others, I have been into skater skirts/circle skirts lately. Though it is a little bit childish in my opinion, I figured I'm 16 and if I can't wear it now I never will be able to, so why not give it a shot?! I really love the pattern, but I think I will be getting rid of the belt that came with it. I think that it will look lovely with a simple white tank top. It retails for $30 but I was able to snap it up for $10.
As for the jeans, I've been looking for a pair in a more unusual colour because my black and blue ones are getting boring. I saw these maroon ones for $10 down from $40 and they too fit perfectly so I grabbed them as well.
I am so pleased with this haul, I think I was lucky to stumble across some amazing sales. I want to know what your best bargain has ever been...I think my Loreal eyeshadow takes the cake for me!
Wowowowow! I'm sure you know by now that I love a good bargain too! I live for them, haha. Pretty much, I won't buy something if it's not on sale (there are exceptions though). I can't believe you got that Loreal shadow for 83c - that's AMAZING! Like wuuuuut, practically free! I love the detailing on those shorts too. I really like wearing skirts too, and I don't think they're childish at all! I think like the pleather ones, or the single colour ones look quite chic!
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks Tashi! Us bargain hunters manage to do pretty well sometimes! Completely relate to basically not buying anything unless it's discounted! I am so pleased with my eyeshadow :) I haven't seen shorts with that pattern on the pockets so it's a lovely change! I'm really glad you don't think the skirts are too childish...I felt like the pattern made it a little funny but I liked it so whatever!

Wow! I'm really jealous about the Revlon lip butters haha.
ReplyDeleteThey were so cheap!
DeleteAMAZZZZZZZZZING HAUL! I'm so jealous of what you got at Target, I dont think my local one does such big sales/clearance on items, I've never seen them that cheap! I'm so tempted to go in and see if they do have anything on sale but I know that if I go, I'll end up buying so many things and breaking my spending ban!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I am pretty pleased! My local Target does have good sales, but I've never seen anything like this! x
DeleteI don't know if my comment went through but I'll post it again ahaha... Aaaa-mazing haul! I love finding bargains and you haul'd a good one! There are so many great finds I can comment about in this post. Quality items at a cheap price, who can say no?! You've got good eye haha :)
ReplyDeleteThat is strange that your comment didn't come through the first time...I've been so lucky spotting bargains lately! Really pleased about the makeup especially because those products are usually so expensive!

These are more than just bargains! These are practically steals! I love those red jeans & the red nail polish, am so jealous you found them for so cheap! And I hope you do a review on the Garnier BB cream because I've not read GOOD reviews on the oily formula.
ReplyDeleteThey sure are! :) I will most definitely complete a review on the BB cream once I've tested it out a little further!

Wow I thought my lip butters were a bargain at $8 each, you got two for that haha! I love that skirt so much, I don't think it looks that childish haha :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen lip butters so cheap! Oh good, I am so happy you like the skirt :)

Fantastic bargains, Candice! I always find a good bargain (usually a Revlon one) at my local Target.. I once got an amazing lipstick for $3.. even the sales assistant couldn't believe it! Loving the skirt too! xx
ReplyDeleteI think Target is the greatest for makeup bargains! Thanks Jasmine!
