Walgreens has been putting up the new displays faster than CVS or Rite Aid. I saw these displays today. Maybelline has quite a few new items.

I saw these on end racks in the beauty section for a few weeks. I was excited when I saw this in a clearance basket for .99. I really wanted to find the 8 pan eyeshadow palette but I was happy I found this. It was regularly priced $3.99 for a lip gloss and nail polish. I tried the gloss on and it is a semi sheer pink gloss. It is very pretty. I'm always looking to try new anti-aging or face smoothing creams or serums. When I saw this in the clearance bin at Walgreens I had to try it. I have never tried the RoC brand because they were always out of my face cream price range.
This is an instant facial smoother that claims to smooth wrinkles and prime and illuminate all day. It retails for around $24 at Walgreens. It was on clearance for $6.24 and I used a $3 MFC so I got it for $3.24. It has the same silicone feel as the Maybelline Anti Aging Primer or Baby Face Pore Eraser or the l'Oreal MiracleBlur. I have seen the new Maybelline 'Dare to be Nude' collections everywhere but not everywhere has the color tatoo eye shadows. I should have picked them up a few weeks ago but I didn't and haven't seen them since. So when I saw a huge display of the 'Dare to be Nude' collection at Walgreens, I had to pick 2 up. I chose a smooth caramel bronze called 'caramel cool' and a black called 'Stroke of midnight'. The caramel tattoo is a beautiful shade. It has a metallic sheen in certain lights. I think this would look nice on the lid or crease. It goes on very smooth and a little goes a long way. The color Tatoo's I have had in the past have always gone on very smoothly and had great staying power throughout my work day.
The black has a nice little surprise: glitter!!!! Under the surface is silver glitter throughout the midnight black. I'm very excited that this one has glitter. I will be a quick, pretty shadow to apply. The Tatoo's retail for $6.99-$7.49. At Walgreens there was a BOGO 50% sale on Maybelline. If these wear as well as the other color tatto's I have, I definitely recommend these. They are 2 Im not a morning person. Ever. Im a "wake up before 5 minutes before I need to leave" type of person. For some reason, I decided to try to wake up early this morning. I leave for work at 7:30 and school starts at 7:45. I was able to set up my makeup table this morning which is rare. I looked at the clock and jumped out of the chair. I quickly put everything away and jumped into the car. Halfway to work I realized it was 6:30 and not 7:30. Soooooo I used getting out of the house early as an excuse to stop at Walgreens before work. I was a little disappointed in the clearance section. But I did manage to find 2 Revlon Products. I found another Revlon Skinlight in "Bronze Light" and a Cream Blush in "Enchanted". I am going to use the bronze Skinlight a lot in the summer so Im glad I found a back up bottle. The skinlight retails for $12.99 and the cream blush retails for $13.99 at Walgreens.
The Revlon products rang up with the BOGO 50% sale. One was $3.49 and the other one was $1.62. The total came to $5.11. I used 2, $2 MFC coupons from coupons.com and that brought the total down to $1.11. I have been noticing that some of the Walgreens in surrounding areas are starting to clearance similar items. So its worth a shot to scan these to see if they are on clearance. I could not believe that these products were on clearance. I literally almost fell down. As a makeup nerd, I have never found anything like this before. These cosmetics are VERY current and recent cosmetics! The l'Oreal limited edition liner came out like a month ago! I have no idea why they were on clearance. They don't have room? Overstock? Either way it made me one happy person when I left with over $100 worth of cosmetics for $15.
There were some new displays at Walgreens and Harmon. It looks like there are some new Sinful Shine spring colors out. These were in a random display among the Easter Items. Sinful Shine Polishes are usually $2.99. At Harmon's there was a new Sally Hansen Display for Xtreme Wear nail polishes. They are glitter polishes. I bought a few of them and will do another post on them soon. They were $2.69. This is the new Revlon Collection based on the new Spider-Man Movie. It looks like there are some repromotes along with some new glosses and polishes.
I don't know how else to start this post except with I GOT 2 REVLON PHOTOREADY SKINLIGHTS for .86 cents! I went to Walgreens last night and was blown away by the clearance. I have another post later on describing the incredible other deals I got. These were on clearance for $3.24 each. These just recently came out over the past 3-4 months. I have no idea why they are on clearance. They are normally around $12.99 each.
I had $2 off Revlon Face coupons from coupons.com. When I went to the register I brought these 2 up and used 2 $2 Revlon coupons. When she said .86 cents I put my bills away and dug in my purse for change. I looked at my receipt and for some reason these clearance Revlon items were on the weekly sale of BOGO 50%. $3.24+$1.62 ( BOGO 50%) = $4.86 -2.00 + -2.00. ------------------------- $1.24 + -.38 cents - .38 ---------------- .86 cents for 2 Rvlon Skinlights (retail value of $25.98.) That's about 97% off !!!! In an upcoming post I will have swatches of the Skinlights. I also got a bronze one. This is one of the best deals I have gotten. Walgreens is usually my last stop on Sundays after CVS and Rite Aid. I find they don't have as many rewards and programs as CVS and Rite Aid. They do however have tons of clearance all year round. You can find some incredible deals on products, especially when coupons are involved.
Here are some of the noteable sales for the week starting Sunday: -Revlon foundation, primer,powder,blush,concealer, eye and lip BOGO 50% -Almay, Rimmel, Covergirl BOGO 50% -Select Wet n Wild cosmetics .69 cents -L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara, True Match, color riche lipstick or lip gloss $7.99 -Spend $10 on Maybelline and receive $3 Reward towards next purchase -$12/2 Sally Hansen Salon Effects, Complete Salon or Lustre shine and receive $3 Reward towards next purchase -$5 off Fragrances Tomorrow only at Walgreens, Fergie Wet n Wild nail polishes and lip sticks are only $1.49! Too bad I have most of the nail polishes. I'm still on the lookout for summer collection stragglers Cabo Cruise, Bronze Bombshell and the mini polish set. Two weeks ago I found Summer Spritzer mixed in with the permanent collection bottles. I might pick up a few lipsticks tomorrow. I have 2 nude ones and they are very creamy and pigmented. One of my New Years goals is to go outside my comfort zone with lipsticks. This sale might force me to follow through on this resolution! ![]() I also got a fantastic deal on this set of 4 cosmetic bags a week ago during the 15% friends and family sale. It has a glitter makeup brush pouch! This set retails for $20.00 (way too much for me to spend on it right now) I took one with a gold glitter pouch inside up to the scanner anyway and it scanned $7.99! I ran to the register before the barcode fairy changed it. With the 15% discount I got this glittery confection for $6.80. I'm not sure if this $7.99 price is a store or regional thing. It wouldn't hurt to scan it. |
