Big Sales! ft. Aveeno, Face of Australia and Clean and Clear

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!

    1. @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!

  4. I 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!

  6. The 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

    1. @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

  8. Good haul love! :) Liking the cleanser so far.
    Loving 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. :)

    1. @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!

  9. Wish 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 :)

    1. @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!
