Thought I would share the products I purchased from Big W over the weekend, as they are having a great sale on most of their cosmetics. I saw buy 2 get 1 free for NP Set, blanket sales for Australis as well as the brands I chose my items from.
I love the Face of Australia polish formulation, and at the moment the whole brand is $3 off, bringing even the new Barbados collection down to $>>>>>>
I chose Bright Lights Pink City, I Like to Mauve It and You Blue Me Away.I already received some other other shades from the collection from the company, which is why I only chose 3 shades.
After seeing a lot of wonderful reviews of this new mascara release from Face of Australia, I decided it had to be mine. The second tube was for my sister, who asked me to grab her a new mascara as she had run out of her usual one. The purple packaging is so pretty, and I can't wait to let you know how I go with this.
I can never pass up cheap wipes, and the $3 was welcome for these!
Decided to grab the Clean&Clear cleanser as I'd seen a review of the other type in the range, and thought the idea of shine control seemed nice. I am currently trialling another so this will be put away for later. The Aveeno was something I picked up for Candice as she isn't near a Big W out where she lives, but needed a cleanser that was foaming but made for dry skin. I've made her promise to do a guest review on it here, so that should be interesting. I like having a range of age appropriate/skin type appropriate posts on emmabovarybeauty, so a wider range of people can benefit from the reviews!
All that for $41.88? Yes sir!
I have a feeling the sale ends tomorrow (Weds 25th) but these brands are always affordable and available there, so do let me know if you check them out!
EDIT: This sale is on until May 2nd, as the lovely Lynette mentioned in the comments. Go forth and shop, my beauties!

Gotta love sales. Very interested to know if the FOA mascara is as awesome as I hope it will be. (:
ReplyDelete@Michelle gotta love a good sale :) I have high hopes for it,too
DeleteGreat bargain hunting! The polish colours look great to me - must check them out... Aveeno's a good reliable brand too :)
ReplyDelete@Vita thank you, the polishes are really lovely, I'm amazed that you can pick them up so cheap with this sale. I haven't tried Aveeno face, only body, so can't wait for Candice's guest post!
DeleteAwww I missed the sale, no shops near me are open for ANZAC day tomorrow. I've got two of those FOA polishes and they are gorgeous, I really want to get the mauve one! I'm also dying to try out that mascara! I can't wait to see what you think of these things xx
ReplyDelete@Kimberley so sorry sweety, it's actually on until next Wednesday! The mauve is amazing, can't stop staring at the bottle. x
DeleteI ended up getting it, as long as a few other things! I'll be posting about it soon, thanks for letting me know about the sales!
DeleteI have to say the Clearasil Daily Scrub has been doing me many favours compared to the expensive cleansers. My skin has been so good that I haven't needed foundation! You should check it out, I originally bought it to deal with KP but I now use it for the face and arms!
ReplyDelete@Yolanda that is good to hear, I will have to check it out. x
DeleteI checked out the bigw website and I think the sale actually ends 2nd May
ReplyDelete@Lynette you are right, I've edited the post with that info! Thanks so much for letting me know x
DeleteThe mascara seems to be getting quite a bit of hype. I think I need to get it because I'm always sucked in with the promise of a good curl. xx
ReplyDelete@Michelle Yes I have read a lot of rave reviews, so knew I had to give it a go. I normally go for volumizing mascaras so will be interesting to see how I go with this one.x
DeleteSo cheap! I miss living near a Big W, they do well in their sales.
ReplyDelete@Michaela their sales can be so wonderful! I think you can buy most of the sale items online, if that helps? Sale is on til Weds 2nd :) x
DeleteGood haul love! :) Liking the cleanser so far.
ReplyDeleteLoving those Barbados shades! I probably don't need the curl from the Mascara but be interested to see how the FOA mascara goes, I'm always on the lookout for a different mascara as I use the same one all the time. :)
@Candi thanks sweety :) Looking forward to your cleanser review! The blue Barbados shade is right up your alley, you neeeed it! I think FOA have released a volumizing one in the same collection, you should check it out. I'm about to throw out a bunch of my mascaras, so I'm ready for a change too!
DeleteWish I lived closer to a Big W, they do have some great sales. I remember buying some FOA stuff earlier in the year, they had $3 off everything so some of the cheaper items were two or three dollars :)
ReplyDelete@sleepandwater Online Big W may help? The FOA $3 off sales are always amazing, FOA is too cheap to begin with so it's ludicrous to have such a sale on top of that. Not that I am complaining!
