Sneak Peek :: CVS Beauty Blowout Haul

A few times a year CVS has a major beauty blowout clearance sale, marking down tons of products up to 75% off! I don’t know the method to the madness, some products or shades could be discontinued or some products may just be overstock. EIther way we get to reap the major savings!

This is in store only, but as far as I know, its at all CVS stores. I went on Friday and only Revlon was marked with the 75% off stickers (it’s a coral color). However, there are tons more on sale! I scanned so many items, they probably thought I was crazy but it paid off because the most I paid for any product was $2.45. In short some of Revlon, Almay, Sally Henson, L’Oreal and Physicians Formula are 75% off and Covergirl, Maybelline, and Neutrogena are 50% off.

Since I am still recovering from having my wisdom teeth pulled 🙁 I can film a video but I do want to at least list all the products so that you don’t have to do the same back and forth scanning that I had to do!

  • Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Nude Lustre, Lilac Pastel, Firecracker, Pink Afterglow ($2.19 each)
  • Revlon ColorStay Mineral Lipglaze in Stay Ablaze ($2.45)

Haul :: Milani Lip Flash Pencils

I saw these Milani Lip Flash Pencils in CVS last week and they really peaked my interest. Since they were on sale for BOGO 50% I decided to give them a try. I always feel confident about buying cosmetics from CVS because they has a good return policy, you can always bring them back… so I grabbed 4!

The pencils are similar to other lip pencils like NYX, however these are very metallic and have shimmer in them. Very FLASHY!! Perfect for the holidays of course.
