Kmart & Priceline Haul

So I've purchased quite a few things over the past month and I decided to share what I got with you all!

So recently Kmart had removed their Make up/Beauty section and had put up Coming soon posters and after doing some digging I found out that they were re-vamping their make up section due to all the stealing and because they were adding new brands to their stock! 
So of course I was intrigued...So while on the hunt for some new gym shoes I decided to just stop by and see if they were done re-vamping and yes! they were!
But first, here's a peek at the clothing items I picked up;
I needed as I mentioned before, a pair of new gym shoes, so that was where I headed to first. Kmart has been advertising all their sports clothing and items as of late so they had tons to choose from but I settled on these black and baby blue sneakers as I wanted something that would match anything I was wearing.
I also needed a new pair of going out flats so while in the shoes section I also picked up this pair of cute brown flats with a zipper design, how cute are they? 
I also needed some new socks to go along with my sneakers so I picked up a pack of 3 socks for $2, if you haven't tried Kmarts $2 socks I reccomend you do! they're great for everyday use, they come in a variety of patterns and they're super cheap!
Here's a close up of the shoes;

Now onto the extremely exciting news!
Kmart now stocks 'elf' (eyes, lips, face)! yes that's right Aussies! we can now purchase 'elf' at Kmart, so of course I purchased just a couple of things just to try them out as I've never tried it before.
I picked up a flat shader brush (eyeshadow brush) from the regular brush line for $3 (they also sell the 'pro' line for $8) I have tried this brush out and find its not as soft as other brushes I own but it is great for packing on colour and for $3 you can't complain.
Also on the list was the 'Long-lasting Lustrous Gel Eyeshadow' in the colour 'Soiree', a beautiful copper colour, perfect for winter! I've yet to try this out but keep an eye out! I do think it will crease without an eyeshadow on top but we shall see!
The last 'elf' product I got was the 'All over color stick in 'Pink Lemonade'. It can be used on the lips or cheeks and is a pretty shimmery pink. I have tried this out on my hand and it smells sooo good! Just like lemonade! which I guess is why it's named Pink Lemonade? haha Genuis right here!

I also got a Lipstick from the 'Lips & Tips' brand in Wildberry! It's a beautiful purply pink that looks stunning, the lipstick isn't drying at all, although I wouldn't say it's 'moisturising' either. I have gotten compliments when I wore this out to work so that's a plus! and for $4 it's great for those of you just starting out with lipstick.
(Kmart now stocks; ELF, Lips & Tips, Face of Australia, Australis, Maybelline, Revlon, Starlet, Rimmel and Covergirl, there might be a few more brands but those are the main ones)

The next item I made a beeline for was lashes! I really needed some new lashes and thank goodness I checked! Kmart always sold lashes but never this great! They've got two new brands, 'Lashes' which i believe is by the Kmart brand and 'Lashstudio'. What I really like about these lashes is the 'invisibleband' which makes it so much easier when applying and blending lashes into your own.
These retail for $4.50 for the 'Lashes' and $6 for the 'Lashstudio', I also picked up an eyelash glue to test out against my duo and Ardell lash glue. (The 'Lashes' brand bring it's own lash glue inside the packet.)
I also picked up a nail polish from the Kmart brand, unfortunately it doesn't have a name but it's a beautiful deep burgundy, it almost looks black on the nails. I've been wearing this colour a lot on my nails this month so be sure to look out for this polish in my March Favourites!

After Kmart I of course stepped into Priceline and picked up just a couple things;

First up was these two Montagne Jeunesse face masks (masque). I love these when I'm in need of a quick face mask and when I want to try something new. I have used both now and actually repurchased the 'Break-out Mask' as my skin has been acting up lately. This was my first time using a 'Sauna' mask and I must say I really enjoyed the warm feeling, it was a bit weird at first but it was definitely relaxing, I recommend it for when you've had a particularly bad day and just need to relax and kick back!
The 'Break-out Mask' is my new favourite mask, it has two parts to it, the top section of the packet is a moisturiser and the bottom is the actual mask. You apply the mask first and then once you've rinsed it off you apply the moisturiser, and your skin will feel amazing and thank you! It really soothed my break outs and made my skin look and feel a whole lot better than it did beforehand. If you have acne prone skin, PLEASE try this out!

I also picked up a new black eyeliner pencil. This time I decided to try on the 'essence' 'STAYS no matter what waterproof eyepencil'. It's a standard liner, I don't find that it's particularly waterproof nor black but it does the job.
And finally while Priceline had their 40% off all cosmetics I picked up a Model Co. Highlighting powder (the pink one, I believe there's also a gold one) which is stunning, I've used this both as a highlighter and eyeshadow and I am really enjoying this, however I advise against using this during the day on your cheeks and it will make you look like someones dumped glitter on your face.

Lastly I picked up a 'Savvy' lipstick in the colour 'plum'. I haven't tried this lipstick yet so I can't give any details but it looks pretty in the tube.

And that's all folks! hope you enjoyed reading about my purchases, let me know if you've tried any of the products mentioned or what you think in the comments!
