It's that time of year again... it's time for the Free Priceline Beauty Bag! I always get really excited for the free beauty bag, not only is it a great incentive to buy up big, but all the brands included are on sale too!
This year was a little bit different. I'm used to receiving a huge bag with lots of goodies. This year, the bag was more of a cosmetic case (whilst still fairly large) not as large as they had been before.

This year's beauty bag is advertised as being valued at over $200 - based on recommended retail prices, of course. If you spend over $60 or more across the brands that are included, you'll receive all of the above for free. Let's take a look what I got inside my bag!
The very pretty bag. I actually adore this bag, it's very cute and it's not bad quality. The bow is very cute. This reminds me a lot of a Ted Baker bag - I'm sure I'm not the only one who has picked up on that, either.
All the goodies in this year's free Priceline Beauty Bag.
There was more than enough nail products in this years bag. I've heard a lot of complaints about this. Honestly, I won't complain as I would have spent the $60 anyway, but I can definitely see where people are coming from. Six nail products in one bag is a tad overkill.
Glam Manicare Express 3 in 1 Nail Art Pen in Golden Girl
This is a cute addition. I've never seen these in store before, so it'll be interested to see how they go. I'm happy that I received gold, which is a colour I would use a lot.
Nail Rock Nail Caviar Manicure in Neptune
I feel like the caviar nail look is a bit dated now, and not something we see a lot. Nonetheless, the shade is very pretty.
Sally Hansen Triple Shine in Dream Sequins
I'm 99% sure I already own this shade, so I'll have to have a look through my collection to double check. This is a gorgeous shade though.
Natio Nail Colour in Wonder
I've never really been overly interested in Natio, so I own very few items from them. I'll be interested to try this one, as I've heard only good reviews.
L'Oreal Color Riche Nails in Black Diamond
I have a few L'Oreal polishes, but not this shade, so I'm pleased to receive this one. The shade is very pretty and oh so perfect for winter.
Essie Polish in Ballet Slippers
For some reason, I don't buy a lot of Essie shades, even though I love the formula. This is a really lovely shade, but a tad boring. I've heard a lot of people love this shade though so I will be interested in seeing how it goes.

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Rockin' Curves Mascara
I have used this mascara before, so I'm a bit disappointed to receive a double. Of course, that's nobodies fault, but it would have been more interesting to receive a different mascara. In saying that, this is a good mascara and so I think a lot of people who try it will be pleasantly surprised.
Physicians Formula Organic Wear Fake Out Mascara
I was almost going to buy this one for myself until I realised it was included in the bag. I've always wanted to try the mascaras from this brand, as they look so luxe, so I'll be excited to try this one out.
Glam Eyes by Manicare Kylie Lashes
These lashes are very wow! They really seem to pop, so they are definitely not for day to day wear. I'm not sure where I will wear these, but I'm sure I'll figure it out!
Savvy by DB Clear Brow Gel
I rarely use brow products because I have bangs and you don't usually see them, but I like the idea of a clear brow gel to keep things in place.

Revlon by Colorburst Lacquer Balm in Vivacious
I actually already have this shade, so I'll more than likely pass this on to a friend, or maybe my sister. It's a great addition though as these are fairly pricey.
Models Prefer Glossy Lip Tint in Pink Frosting
I also own this, as I ended up buying the entire set at Christmas time. I'll pass this on to somebody else as well.
Nude by Nature Mineral Lip Gloss in Flirty
I haven't actually tried any of the lip glosses from Nude by Nature, so I'll be interested to see how it goes. It looks like it might be older stock, though, going by the packaging.
Eco Tools Eco Friendly Bath Sponge
I'm always in need of a loofah, so this is much appreciated. I like the Eco Tools loofahs as well, as they are very heavy duty and last for ages.
Innoxa Satin Sheen SPF 30+ in Buttermilk
This is a foundation. I think. Maybe. I'm not sure. I received this in the shade Buttermilk, which is the second lightest shade. I'm hoping that it will be light enough for me to wear. I haven't tried it yet, as it's sealed, so I'm really hesitant to try open it before I go into a store to swatch it.
L'oreal Base Magique sample
I think I have a million of these samples. I'm not complaining, because this is a good primer.
L'oreal True Match sample
A nice touch, but it is a sachet so not sure how much I'll get out of it.

And all the goodies I decided to buy to make up the $60 amount.
Sally Hansen 18K Gold Hardener
I've been wanting to buy this for ages, so I decided to grab it whilst it was on sale. I have a few gold top coats, but I really wanted to try this one.
L'oreal Infallible 24H Foundation
I have been seeing this foundation all over the internet, and I've been wanting to try it forever. This is a fairly expensive foundation though, so it was great to get it on sale.
L'Oreal Mega Volume Miss Manga in Tropical Violet
I have this in the blue and the black, so I decided to pick up the purple too. They're great to play around with for interesting makeup looks.
Model's Prefer CC Cream in Light
I actually picked this up for my sister, so I'll be passing this on to her right away. I did get a chance to try it in store though, and it seems really nice. Should have picked this up for myself too!

Overall, I wasn't unimpressed with this year's free goody bag. I think as the years go by, the excitement of the bags somewhat decreases, as we are seeing a lot of the same products as the years go by and the brands that are included seem to be dropping off.
I still liked everything I got, and there was nothing included that I won't use or dislike, so I'm happy with that.
