The big black hole called Chemist Warehouse

I have an amazing ability to get sucked into this big black hole called Chemist Warehouse.  It's not the most inviting store but I can go in with nothing to buy and emerge hours later, weary-eyed carrying bags and bags of goods.

Last weekend I picked up a whole heap of goodies totalling $80 odd.  Brilliant.


Half a kilo of quinoa for $7.  I prefer red/black quinoa but at $7 I'll eat white quinoa.  The superfood blend is to sprinkle on my salads/soups/porridge.  Doesn't taste like anything actually.


My sister swears by sukin so I thought I'd give it a go.  It's all natural, organic, etc.  The QV is for Tom.


The Maybelline primer is a fave of mine so I picked up another tube.  I've been wanting a matte top coat for a while so grabbed a bottle of Sally Hansen.  I don't usually wear mascara as I have "fear of the 10 eyelashes I have falling out of my head" syndrome but for $10 I thought I'd give this lengthening one a go.  It actually does lengthen (left) without looking really obvious that I have mascara on.


Did you get anything from the Chemist Warehouse sale?

  1. We just bought some toner, Simple's very good for super sensitive types. :) QV's a good choice, we get that bath wash too. Pumps are awesome! Does Tom get the moisturizing lotion too? Those two seem to be a pair. :)

    1. Tom doesn't like the feeling of moisturiser :S Annoying because he has quite dry skin!

  2. Ohh I saw Sukin at the chemist the other day but noted that it has phenoxyethanol, which seems to be cosmetic brand's preservative of choice now that paraben gets bad rep. It's less harmful but for natural body wash, I love moogoo :-)

  3. That mascara looks like it's really working! A friend raves about Maybelline's Colossal Volum' so I have to try that next or I'd give Illegal Lengths a go!

    1. It was a toss-up between Colossal Volum and Illegal Lengths but I have more of a problem with the length of my lashes rather than the thickness. If you try Colossal Volum please let me know how you go!
