Spotted: Almay Eye Makeup Removers (NEW)
Hey everyone! Here is another new display that I recently spotted at my CVS store. I only spotted two new displays at my CVS store. One of them was the NYC Shattering Spring Savings Collection (which I already did a post on but if you would like to see that display, you can CLICK HERE) and this collection that I am going to talk about is the Almay Eye Makeup Removers. These are new products, recently released from Almay! According to the display you can "take it all off for a smudge-free morning" and say "bye bye, raccoon eyes." These eye makeup removers claim to "gently remove all traces of makeup that soap and water leave behind." Its funny because these claim to be the number one eye makeup remover brand in America yet I mostly hear about Neutrogena's eye makeup removers. If you have tried both, please comment below to let me know which one you like more.
Almay came out with four new eye makeup remover pads. They each have their own purpose, which is nice because if you are looking for a particular eye makeup remover with a certain purpose, you might find the one you want from these new products. Apparently these were Allure Best of Beauty Winner of 2012, which is a big deal. It makes me want to try these sometime. The new eye makeup removers from Almay are:
◊ Oil Free Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Pads
◊ Soothing & De-Puffing Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Pads
◊ Lash Care Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Pads
◊ Longwear & Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover Pads
Also in the display were these liquid eye makeup removers, which is great if eye makeup remover pads aren't your thing. I actually tend to favor the liquid eye makeup removers over the saturated pads because I feel like you get more product and you can adjust how much remover you want on the pad. As far as I know, there are only two types of liquid eye makeup removers from Almay in this collection:
◊ Oil Free Gentle Eye Makeup Remover
◊ Longwear & Waterproof Gentle Eye Makeup Remover
If you have tried any of these new products before or any of the current eye makeup removers from Almay, please comment below to let me know your opinions on them. I would love to know if they are any good or not. I do have a deluxe size sample of some Almay Makeup Remover pads but I have yet to try them. I might just bust them out to use them at night since my curiousity is getting the best of me while I am typing up this spotted post.
QUESTIONS:
Have you ever tried any Almay eye makeup remover products?
What is your favorite brand of eye makeup remover?

Spotted: NYC Shattering Spring Collection
Hey everyone! I was just recently at CVS because of their famous CVS Clearance Sale. If you love buying makeup and getting great deals on them, now is the best time, especially if you have coupons. You could get items for little to nothing. I have already bought a bunch of items so definitely expect a haul soon. I am not sure whether I should put all my hauls combined into one post or just do then transaction by transaction. I might separate them but it might get a bit repititive since I did end up buying a couple of the same items since they were such great deals.
Anyways while I was there, I noticed two new displays! One of them was this NYC Shattering Spring Savings Collection. I don't know how long this has been out since the stores in my area tends to be a bit slow at bringing out new prodcts. Also since Summer is pretty much around the corner and this is a Spring collection, it might have been out earlier but this is the first that I have seen this display. According to the display, it includes products for "hot looks at earth shattering low prices."
This collection includes eyeliners, nail polishes, and lipstcks. Plus if you love couponing, there are also coupons on the display. The coupons aren't much but $0.25 savings is better than nothing! I didn't buy anything because I already have a couple of NYC products and they are just okay. The only thing that I haven't tried from NYC from this collection are their lipsticks. Let me know, if you think I should go back and buy a lipstick or two.
QUESTIONS:
Have you seen this collection from NYC at your stores yet?
Do you like NYC products?

Swatches: Sally Hansen Sugar Coat "Cotton Candies"
Hey everyone! Recently, a new nail polish trend has been surfacing. I know that there are a lot of high-end brands out there that have already released their versions but as you know, I am more of a drugstore version when it comes to nail polishes. I think 98% of my polishes are drugstore brands and I am fine with that because a lot of drugstore brands are on par, if not better than high-end brands. I am surprised that I bought this nail polish on a whim because usually I would look for swatches and reviews first but I couldn't help it since I have been wanting to try out this trend for a while now. So when I saw a CVS employee setting up the display, I just had to grab one to try out.
Sally Hansen Sugar Coat "Cotton Candies" is a gorgeous pink. I know that this collection has a mint green, mint blue, black, white, and I think a dark blue shade but I was mostly attracted to the pink. I have had this polish on my nails for three days before it started chipping at the tips. I didn't apply a top coat over it because I heard that when you apply a top coat, the bumps (or texture) starts to disappear. I have to admit, it did feel a bit weird after it dried on my nails. I kept on rubbing my fingers against my nails to feel the texture and checking out the bumps. I didn't like it at first but I got used to it after a couple of hours. It is an interesting texture.
With this nail polish, the directions are easy. I know that some people had a little bit of trouble with the magnetic polishes when they were in trend. With these nail polishes, all you have to do is shake the bottle gently and then apply two thin coats. You will instantly start to see texture in the nail polish once its applied onto your nails.
If you have been curious about trying this nail trend out, you can consider giving these Sally Hansen Sugar Coat polishes a try. They are $5.99 plus tax at my CVS store but prices vary by stores and region. Plus if you buy this week, CVS has a sale where if you spend $10 on Sally Hansen cosmetics (including Sally Hansen nail polishes), you get $5 ECBs back. Thats a pretty good sale, if you wanted to save some money. Plus there are always coupons that you can combine with the sale for even better savings! The sale ends June 1, 2013 if you guys are interested.
QUESTIONS:
Have you spotted these new Sally Hansen Sugar Coat nail polishes at your stores yet?
Have you tried out this trend yet?
What do you think of this trend?
