Mini Haul: Essentials vs. Frivolous!

Yesterday I went to Chemist Warehouse to pick up some medications and a few essentials like hand sanitiser. I made a pact with myself that I wouldn't buy anything that wasn't essential this month and ... well ... I've broken it already!
So here is my mini-haul:


⌘ My Health and Beauty brand cotton balls - essential for removing nail polish. Though I don't use them on my face anymore as I tend to get the fibres in my eyes; I only use proper cotton pads on my face now. Or my fingers if I can get away with it!
⌘ Natural Selections Escapism Beauty Bars in Wild Berries & Alpine Tulip, and Lychee & Red Lotus (2 bars in each pack). Even though I already have 4 soaps in my stash, I couldn't resist these. The scents sound so lovely. And they were only $3.39 for each pack of 2, so pretty cheap, too. They're semi-essential, I guess!
⌘ W7 lipstick in Fuchsia. Apparently it's the latest bargain bin brand from the U.K. This was that classic 'why on earth did I buy this?' purchase. I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to leave the house while wearing it, but who cares? It was only five bucks. Totally frivolous!

Ok now, I will really try not to buy anything else this month!
