Going Crazy For CVS Clearance Sales


Hey everyone! This haul was definitely long over due. I was surprised that I hadn't post it already. I think it was because I went so many times during the CVS Clearance Sale that there were some hauls that I just forgot to post. Next time, I am just going to save all my clearance items and combine them all into one collection haul post because we all know that whenever CVS has their clearance sales, I always end up going more than once. This time I probably went five times, which is a bit crazy but I couldn't help it, especially seeing all the great items that everybody else gets.

I can't remember how much I paid for these items but I can remember that I had coupons for almost every item but one. Plus they were all on clearance and chances were that I had used a 20% off CVS coupon since I always get those during these sales, which saves me even more money. Out of this haul, there were only two products that I have never tried before and have always been curious about. I admit, if they were never on clearance, I would have never bought them. Yes, I am that much of a cheapie. LOL The only time when I buy something that I WANT and not NEED is when the item is on sale and if I have any coupons for it. I just hate wasting money on items that I just want because they are new on the market and maybe end up hating them.

In this haul, I only bought 4 items and all of them are beauty items. I bought two L'Oreal items, one CoverGirl, and one Essence of Beauty brush. The items that I bought were:
  • L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara "985 Blackest Black"
  • L'Oreal HIP Color Chrome Eyeliner "920 Gold Charge"
  • CoverGirl Outlast All Day Lipcolor "540 Pink Delight"
  • Essence of Beauty Smokey Eye Shadow Brush




So that is all for my haul. I didn't buy much but I sure did save a lot with my coupons! The only products that I have tried so far is the CG Outlast and the Essence of Beauty brush. If you didn't know already, Essence of Beauty is a CVS store brand and can only be found at CVS stores. They have some really great quality, affordable brushes that definitely don't get noticed much as they should. If you would like to see any reviews on these products, please let me know!

QUESTIONS:
Did you buy anything from the CVS clearance sale a while back?
Have you tried any of these products?

CVS Haul (Feat. Essence of Beauty)


Hey everyone! In case, you didn't know CVS had a sale on their Essence of Beauty line. All Essence of Beauty products (excluding clearane) were BOGO FREE and the sale ended already, Saturday on June 23. I went today mainly for the sale. I ended up getting myself a couple of items that I have been wanting to try out. Plus I had a CVS coupon for $1USD off any Essence of Beauty purchase from all the brushes that I have been buying lately. I do own a couple of Essence of Beauty brushes and have been buying a lot of the Smoky Eye Shadow Brush lately because they are on clearance for $1.75USD plus tax. If you have been buying these as well, you should definitely check to see if your has a coupon a well. The coupon has no expiration date!

Okay onto what I bought:
32 Face Wedges (X2)
I mainly bought these to see if they would help me from wanting to buy the BeautyBlender. LOL The store that I went to had two different kinds of face wedges. The ones that I bought are Vitamin E infused but there were also some that had Collogen infused, which seemed firmer. The ones with Vitamin E are a lot softer and don't seem as firm or dense but hopefully these will work out the same. With the Vitamin E, these wedges claim to "provide an exceptionally smooth finish," according to the packaging. I have never used a "sponge" to apply my foundation before but I have been hearing so many great reviews on the BeautyBlender that I wanted to try out other options first. Plus if these wedges don't work out, it won't be a total waste of money because I can probably use these for nail art. Or I can just return them for a refund since they have a quality guarantee on these. These were $3.99USD but with the sale, I only paid for one and got the other one FREE.


Precision Blender Sponge (X2)
LOL These were BOGO FREE as well so of course, I had to buy two. These were $4.99USD each but I paid for one and got the other one for FREE. These reminded me a little of the BeautyBlender because they are both face sponges but these are more affordable. These are also infused with Vitamin E and it has two sides that you can use to apply and blend makeup. This blender sponge has a pointed side and a round base. The pointed side is supposed to help apply makeup easier for the area under the eyes with the round base for the rest of the face like the forehead, cheeks, and chin. Hopefully this sponge will work as well as the BeautyBlender. If you have tried these before, definitely let me know how you would compare or any tips on using this.


Smokey Eye Shadow Brush (X2)
This was not BOGO FREE because it was on clearance, which was fine with me because I had coupons, which made them under $0.25USD each. I have already washed and started using this brush and I really like it. I am definitely buying more if I see anymore on clearance. If you would like to see a review on this brush with close-up pictures, definitely let me know and I will post one up.


So that is all for my haul. LOL I didn't even know that I purchased two of everything until I was paying for everything. Hopefully both the wedges and sponges will work out and help me stop obsessing over the BeautyBlender. If you have tried any of these products before, definitely let me know because I would love to hear about your experiences and comments. If you have any requests or questions as well, let me know and I will try to address them.

CVS Clearance Haul (Feat. Kiss, PF, Clean & Clear, Maybelline, CG, Revlon, L'Oreal, and Essence of Beauty)


Hey everyone! So its that time of year again! CVS is having their clearance sale again! Yay! This time, they don't really have that much but thats fine with me. Its better than not having anything on clearance at all. What makes this clearance sale even better is that CVS is printing out 30% off entire purchase at the red box machine. Even though these 30% off coupons can't be used on sale and promotion products, they can be used on clearance items, which makes the deals even better! But if you use manufacturer coupons, then you would save even more money!

WHAT I BOUGHT:
PF Hydrating & Balancing Moisturizer SPF 15
PF Ultra-Hydrating Day & Night Cream
I bought both of them items because they were only $4.99USD each. Regularly priced, they were $19.99USD plus tax. I don't know why they are on clearance when they were just recently released but I guess PF is discontinuing the Moisture Balance line since CVS tends to put discontinued items on clearance. I might give these to my mom since I already bought the SPF15 one a few weeks ago and don't really need a back-up.


Clean & Clear Advantage Popped Pimple Relief Gel Pen
This was under $3USD but I had a $1USD off any Clean & Clear coupon, which made the deal even sweeter. I love Clean & Clear so I bought this to try out. I really like how its meant for on-the-go. Plus it does dry to a white film like the other Clean & Clear acne stuff that I have. This one dries to a clear film so its great to use whenever and you don't have to worry about it peeling and looking nasty.


CoverGirl Shadow Quad "225 Berries & Cream"
This was only $3.15USD and I had a $1USD of any CG product, so I only paid $2.15USD plus tax. Yeah! I bought this because I haven't tried CG shadows much and I also don't have a lot of purple shade shadows.


Maybelline Stylish Smokes Quad "12Q Plum Smokes"
This was on clearance for $4.15USD and with my coupon for $1USD off, I only paid $3.15USD plus tax! I love these Maybelline quads so I always try to buy a couple whenever they are on clearance. Again, I bought more purple shades because I don't have a lot of purple shadows in my collection.


Kiss Nail Dress "Princess"
I wasn't sure about buying this since I already know how to do cheetah/leopard print designs on my nails but these have fake "studs" looking bumps on the nail stickers. I am not sure if I am going to keep these or give them away. This was $3.49USD but with my $1USD off coupon, I only paid $2.49USD plus tax.


Essence of Beauty Smokey Eye Shadow Brush (X2)
These were $1.75USD each. When I got home, I found out these inside the packaging, there is an $1USD coupon for any Essence of Beauty brush and it has no expiration date. I am definitely going to be using these coupons to buy more of these brushes. I actually like these kind of brushes since they are great and all you would typically need for an eye look. The shadow brush is great for all over the lid and to apply shadow onto the crease. Plus the other end is great for applying darker colors onto the outer corner and blending.


L'Oreal Studio Secrets Anti-Dull Skin Primer
I bought the one meant for light skin. They have another one for medium to darker skintone but since I have light, fair skin I bought the one meant for light skin. I never tried this primer before but have always wanted to get it. I never could justify paying over $12USD for a drugstore primer that I might or might not like so since it was on clearance, I knew I had to get it. This was $6.65USD but with my $2USD off coupon, I only paid $4.64USD plus tax. If you have tried this primer before, definitely let me know if its any good or not.


Revlon Moon Drops Lipstick "590 Lilac Champagne"
I never tried this line of lipsticks from Revlon before but since it was on clearance, I bought it to try out. I bought the one that has a creme finish since I don't really like lip products that give off frosty finishes. This was $2.49USD but with my $1USD off coupon, I only paid $1.49USD plus tax. That is definitely a great deal for a Revlon lipstick!


So that is all for my CVS clearance haul. So far, I haven't tried any of these products yet but I will soon! Have you ever tried any of these products before? Have you been taking advantage of the CVS clearance sale? Definitely let me know if you have tried out any of these products before an what products have you been buying from the sale! All I know for sure is that I am definitely going back and getting some more items! So definitely stay tuned for my other CVS hauls, which will be coming up within the next few weeks.
