For all you lovely ladies that have traveled to the Gold Coast, where are the best places to go for beauty bargains? :) Any other suggestions on things I need to check out?

There are Price Line stores everywhere and they have some amazing sales! I always head there! Target always has a good range of drugstore makeup brands for a decent price too!

yeah Priceline and Target are cheap and awesome <3

At Pacific Fair (the big mall) I went to an amazingly cheap perfume shop.

In Aussie I always hit up Mecca Maxima - there's one of those at Pacific Fair too, which is in Broad Beach. It's not CHEAP but it's cheaper than here and you'll be able to get TooFaced etc

Myer is good for sales too - have had some amazing bargains there in the past. Some Myer stores also have a discount basement, which is awesome.

Chemist Warehouse is another cheap chain - they pretty much sell the stuff David Jones aren't intersted in stocking anymore, so I'm told.

I usually pick up some things from Sportsgirl - their eyeshadow palettes are cute, and their nail polish (my apricot matte one is from there! In the pic on the wall with the wee rubber ducky in it) and lippy is good. My friend swears by their bronzer over higher end stuff.

Victoria's Secret is a good one for fragrances, lip glosses etc. I adore their brightening gel creme; SO good.

I follow a few places on Insta so I can see what's on special at the times I'm heading over - I recommend it!

Harbour town is a must, so glad to hear you are going there. The pharmacies is where I got my fragrances and other goodies. I am jealous even though I was there in July! I know you will have an awesome time Amy, so looking forward to seeing your pics..

I was there in August... Harbourtown had some deals but not great the Pharmacy warehouse always has deals on the cheaper ranges, theres priceline, I timed it well that terry white pharmacy had a ridiculous sale on fragrances my normal $130 bottle of perfume I got for 70.

Have to say the one place I have fallen in love with it Cosmetica Maxima which I found better than Sephora both are at Pacific fair and across from each other.

Otherwise... Duty free but its not that much better. If you want duty free life pharmacy normally do tax free if you have your flight details.
