If you've been into a Priceline lately, then you'll know they are having one of their awesome gift with purchase deals! This gift with purchase is their annual free beauty bag. Basically you spend $60 on beauty products from a selection of different brands, and you get this bag full of products for free!

The bag itself is fairly normal this year, just a matte black snake print Models Prefer bag! Something pretty much anyone can enjoy.



All the goodies inside of the bag! 



Physicians Formula Concealer Twins in Light

I'm excited to receive this, as I don't have a lot of concealers. I'm surprised to see this included in the bag, as it's something that's so colour specific for your skin, and they can't possibly be catering to everyone. Even so, I'm pretty happy to get this as it is actually in my colour!

Manicare Moisturising Nail Polish Remover Pads

I love these kinds of things, as they are far easier to take to work than a bottle of remover than could potentially leak. I'm really happy to receive these.

Revlon Beyond Natural Eyelashes in Sweetie Doll

These are absolutely adorable. I understand that this range is now discontinued, so I'm happy to get these before they're gone forever! They look like they'll be natural enough to wear day to day but still gorgeous enough to wear for a special occasion. Plus, you can never have too many lashes.

Fing'rs Edge Nail Art in Heavy Metal

I got this kit in a beauty box at some point but in a different theme. These kits are great, and perfect for gifts. I'll definitely create some fun nail art with this kit.

Revlon Lip Butter in Sorbet

I already own this particular shade myself, so I'll probably either pass this on to my sister, or if she already owns it I'll keep it for a giveaway and hopefully pass it on to somebody who doesn't already have it. Still a great addition to include!

1000 Hours 3D Nail Wraps in Lucy

This little kit is fun, I love getting these. I usually save them for special occasions, and this is a gorgeous design! A few of the other designs I've seen are not really my style so I'm happy I got these.

Models Prefer Moisture Lust Glossy Lip Tint in Candy Licious

I only have one or two of these, and I really like them! I haven't got this colour though, so I'm really happy to get it! These are very moisturising, so this is perfect for winter.

Manicare Glam Eyes Jewel Lashes in Britney

More lashes! Who can say no to more lashes? These lashes do have little jewels on them, so they're not exactly for day to day wear. I might save these for a special occasion.

Models Prefer Kohl Pencil in Matte Black

I actually already have another one of these, and use it almost every day. This is my absolute favourite eyeliner, it's so creamy and doesn't drag, and I find that it doesn't fade away during the day!

Nude by Nature Soft Focus Illuminator

I already own this illuminator as well, so I'll probably pass this on to somebody else who doesn't already own it. I think this was included in one of the past free bags.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Bittersweet

I have a few of these already, but luckily this is a colour I don't already own. It's a bit of a strange colour, not something I'd pick out for myself, but perfect for the colder months.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream in Medium-Deep

Something else I was surprised to see in the bag. I don't often wear BB cream, as most of them are usually far too dark for me anyway. This is definitely far too dark for me, and even for my sister or my mum, so I'll probably take this back to Priceline and see if I can exchange it for a more appropriate colour.

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in Warm Honey

I'm surprised that they included this as well! This is definitely not my shade, so hopefully I'll be able to take this back in store and get it exchanged, as I'm a huge fan of this formula.

Savvy by DB Liquid Eyeliner in Black

I haven't tried the liquid eyeliner from Savvy before, so I'm pretty intrigued. I can't wait to try this to see how it goes, as it's so cheap! 

Models Prefer Makeup Case

This is actually the same makeup case that I received when I signed up to Priceline Beauty Club, so I suppose they just had a bunch left over. I know there was also supposed to be a small compact mirror, again the same that was included in the beauty club goodie bag, however I did not receive it in my bag for some reason. I'm not too bothered about that, since I have one already. You can read my post about the Priceline Beauty Club here.

Maybelline Dream Pure 8 in 1 BB Cream in Medium samples

Urgh, medium! Really! Why couldn't they include samples in different shades, that could have at least been useful to some of us. I'll definitely be passing these along hopefully to someone who hasn't tried them before, or at least someone whose shade is medium.

My Haul

I had to spend a minimum of $60 on the brands included, so I thought I'd also show you what I picked up in order to actually get the bag! I decided on the Rimmel Stay Matte Primer, as I'm such a fan of everything else in the Stay Matte range. I also picked up two Models Prefer Infinite Colour Lipliners in Clearly Sealed; which is a clear lipliner that can be used on pretty much any colour, and Endless Orange, as I realised that while I am a huge orange lipstick wearer, I don't own any orange lip liners. I also chose two of the Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balms in Coquette and Demure.

Overall I was pretty pleased with the freebies included in the bag. While it's not the best thing ever and there are a lot of skin shade differences, it's definitely nothing to complain about. Providing my local store lets me exchange for other shades (I really hope they do) then I'm pretty happy!

Have you gone out and received the Priceline Beauty Bag yet? If so, what are your thoughts?
