Purchase: Nail Polishes, Skin Care, Bargains!

I needed to re-stock on nail polish remover, so I headed down to Priceline yesterday. I got just a couple of extras as well, and some good bargains!



Priceline Beauty Essentials Conditioning Nail Polish Remover - to replace my pricey OPI nail polish remover. The OPI one worked very well, but because it was expensive, I kept trying to eke it out and make it last longer, to the point where it got a little annoying. So I'm going back to the cheap-o brand where I feel like I can splash it around as much as I want.

Rimmel London 60 Second Nail Enamel - I got two for $10 (they're normally around $8 each, I think). I chose Grey Matter as a nice, subdued shade I can wear to work. I think it'd look good with a glitter over the top as well. The other shade I chose was Instyle Coral. Corally reds are so In at the moment, and I've been secretly coveting one for a while. Even though I probably couldn't wear it to work, and I normally prefer less OTT shades anyway, I just couldn't resist! It's a completely irrational purchase, I fully admit it.

Orly Nail Enamel - These were $4.99 each and the shades were so pretty, I just couldn't help myself! I chose Golden Halo, which is a pearly/glittery lavender, a shade I've been wanting for quite a while. The other shade is Walk Down The Aisle (heck knows why!), a light sage green with pearly shimmer. I thought it was girly, but slightly unusual.

Simple Kind To Eyes Makeup Corrector Pen - these are a fairly new concept, I think. I'm always smudging mascara when I put on my makeup, so I thought I'd give it a go. It was $9.59 (20% off).

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Hand Cream and Palmer's Body Oil - The Palmer's range was all 20% off, so I thought I'd get a travel-size hand cream for my handbag. The olive oil formula is OK with my eczema, so hopefully the original cocoa butter formula is too. Plus I love the smell! I thought I'd try out the body oil because I read a positive review for it online a few days ago. I don't really have a problem with dry skin, but it'll be nice for when I want something a bit more luxurious.

Lady Jane Thick Hair Elastics - A few of mine have been over-streched or even snapped lately, so I thought now is a good time to re-stock as they were also 20% off.

I can feel some Nails of the Week posts coming up!
