Important update

I'm writing this from my phone so apologies if it looks strange. I just wanted to let you all know that there won't be a weekly drugstore sales post today and I won't be able to update the CVS clearance master list because I've managed to get myself a nasty case of food poisoning.  It hit me a few hours after breakfast and the worst part of it has definitely passed, thank goodness. But if you've

My Weekend Manicure (fun with stamping)


Purchased by Me 
For this weekend, I decided to dust off my stamping tools and try something fun. It's been a loooong time since I stamped, so it was fun to do it again.

Base color: L'Oreal Limited Edition Water's Edge from the Spring 2010 Passport to Paradise Collection



Stamping color: Flirt Nail Art Stamping Polish in White from the Fing'rs

Coming Soon(?): Maybelline Color Tattoo Pure Pigments, Fit Me Shine-Free Gel Stick Foundation and more



Sorry for the back-to-back breaking beauty news posts, but I can hardly keep up with all the exciting drugstore beauty news that's crossing my desk today (but I'm trying!).

I received dozens of responses and I selected some of my favorites to share with you here today. I

Review: Three nude polishes from Sally Hansen


Press Sample 
When Sally Hansen relaunched their Complete Salon Manicure line back in November of 2012, I didn't really notice these three shades in the display. You know me--my eyes always go to the sparkly and/or "nontraditional" colors and I often skip right over the nudes.

But let's rewind back to Oscar Night 2013 and this post that I did about the Complete Salon Manicure polishes that some

Review: NYX Born To Glow Liquid Illuminator in Sunbeam


Press Sample 
With summer literally right around the corner, I thought it fitting to kick off this mini-series with the new-for-2013 Born To Glow Liquid Illuminator. Summer's the time when many of us want that extra glow to the skin, so let's see if this product can give you what you crave!

I received an assortment of the new NYX products for review a while back and I've been eagerly testing

The Wednesday Question




When it comes to drugstore beauty, what are some of your "never fail" products?



Two that immediately come to mind are my CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation and Jordana Best Lash Extreme Mascara. I might use and love other products but those two in particular never, ever fail me. I reach for those products when I'm not messing around and absolutely need my face to look good for a

Review: NEW Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglosses (five of ten shades)


Purchased by Me 
The new Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglosses seem to be a hot button topic around here. For various reasons, a lot of you are either happy or sad about this change. Since the old, square style tubes and shades are, at the time of this post, still around at plenty of retailers (and can be found on clearance at many places), I thought I better pick up and review some of the new ones

The return of the CVS Beauty Clearance Sale?




Could it be?? Is the semi-annual CVS Beauty Clearance Sale BACK ON? I've been covering these sales for years now, and I've been feeling like this one's overdue since most other retailers have been clearancing the newly-discontinued products for a few weeks now (Walgreens, Rite Aid, Target, etc.).

The last CVS Beauty Clearance Sale was at the beginning of last December--doesn't it feel like

Review: Bongo Beauty Nail Polishes in Catching Kisses and Sweet Cheeks


Purchased by Me 
So I finally made it into to Kmart and spotted the new Bongo Beauty Collection that I posted about a little while back (click here to see what the display looks like). After examining the nail polishes in this display, can you believe that I opted to skip all the blues and teals? Yeah, me too! But they all seemed to be dupes of other shades I already own, so I ended up getting

Spotted: NEW Almay Smart Shade CC Cream and Bronzers

I finally spotted the new Almay Smart Shade CC Cream and Bronzers the other day at Rite Aid and I have some pics to share with you.

Spotted: NEW Coppertone Tattoo Guard SPF50 Lotion and Stick

I spotted something at Rite Aid the other day that I don't think I've ever seen at the drugstore before--sunscreens specifically for tattoos. I know that Walgreens sells Tattoo Goo on their website, but I haven't seen a tattoo suncreen in-store at any of the usual drugstores before. Have you? Anyway, check it out:

When it comes to grooming the brows, what’s your preference? Wax, tweeze or thread?

G's answer: If you were to ask me that about a year ago, I'd say waxing (with tweezing for maintenance . However, I've gotten kind of lazy with my at-home waxing and I basically have just been tweezing for probably the last year. I keep meaning to try threading but

Review: Revlon Limited Edition Chroma Chameleon Nail Enamel in Tanzanite


Purchased by Me
I'm not sure if a lot of people missed my original post about this collection back in the beginning of March, but in the last few weeks I've received several photo submissions and heads-ups about the Chroma Chameleon Collection. So the good news is that this collection still seems to be popping up in many retail locations, in case you've been looking for it since March.

The Wednesday Question




What's the most you'll pay for a haircut (just the cut--not color, treatments, etc.)?

I've paid $80 for a cut in the past, because I wanted to treat myself to something really special. That cut actually didn't work out so well for me--the stylist had her own ideas about what looked best on me, and she ended up giving me the exact same cut that SHE had. Nightmare! But generally speaking, I'm

Review: Blistex Simple and Sensitive Lip Moisturizer


Purchased by Me
Blistex has really been stepping up their game lately. I love their Moisture Melt (click here for my review) and recently I spotted this new formula (well, "new" as in released late last year), which contains just six ingredients and no flavor, no fragrance, color or SPF. Since many of you prefer lip balms with no fragrance, and I know many readers are sensitive to certain

Spotted: NEW Bongo Beauty Collection

If you're as old as I am, you probably remember Bongo as a very popular brand of jeans from the 80s. And if you're younger than I am, you might not remember this brand from back in the day, but more for what they're doing now (women's clothing and accessories).

Either way, did you know that Bongo just launched a beauty line? I didn't either! Reader Nikki spotted the new Bongo Beauty display at

Spotted at CVS: e.l.f. nail color display (dupe alert)

I searched waaaay back into my archives and I'm telling you, either I'm losing it, or I don't think I have ever seen e.l.f. at CVS before. Am I losing it? Do you remember any kits or special value sets surfacing at CVS in the past few years? I know we've seen e.l.f. at Walgreens (and of course Target, Big Lots and Dollar Tree) but at CVS? I think this might be a first.

Lipstick League Question of the Week


When it comes to lipstick, what’s your go-to finish (shimmer, creme, satin, matte, etc.) and why are you drawn to that particular finish?

G's answer: You know I love my mattes for fall and winter. When the weather warms up, I usually switch over to cremes and satin finishes. I do like to dabble in shimmery, sparkly and glittery lipcolors sometimes, but

What's your favorite type of blush (pressed powder, baked, mineral, creme, gel, liquid. etc.) and why?



For years and years, my go-to has been pressed powder blushes. Then I really started to love baked blushes, and now I find myself reaching for cremes (in sticks or pots) a lot. The formulations of creme blushes at the drugstore have vastly improved over the years and they're so easy to
