Drugstore Report: Tons of new nail products, limited edition holiday products and other goodies (pic heavy)

If you live near a Rite-Aid, you've got to take a little trip soon. There is so much new stuff out there right now it'll make you giddy (it made me giddy so I'm assuming, if you're reading this, it'll make you giddy too).

I stopped at my lucky Rite-Aid tonight to pick up some Halloween candy but I never expected to stumble upon all these new products!

First of all, I've figured out how Rite-Aid operates when it comes to their counter and shelf displays. At the end of each season, they reduce everything to 50% off the retail price to make way for new displays. Since most of these display items are for limited edition items, they can't stick them in with the permanent collections so...they have to get ride of 'em. Lucky for me, my Rite-Aid had these little lovelies all 50% off today:

These Limited Edition Sally Hansen Diamond 12-Hr Lip Treatment glosses were regularly $6.25, reduced to $3.12! I seriously had my eye on these all summer long but never caved and made a purchase. I wanted to get one of each shade tonight, but I settled for "Be Dazzled" which is a pretty maraschino cherry red with gold shimmer.

Also, the Prestige Skin Loving Minerals display was on clearance so I bought a Fresh Glow Mineral Blush in "Peach". These are regularly $7.95 and I paid $3.97. Seriously, I LOVE these blushes (click here for my review) so this totally made my day. When I first saw this display back in July, I thought this shade would be too light for me. But at $3.97, it's worth a shot because these blushes totally rock.

On to the new stuff! First are some products that I have NEVER seen at Rite-Aid before:

I know. WHAT? Somewhere besides Walgreens now carries Sinful Colors? Awesome.

And speaking of seeing crazy things at Rite-Aid, check this out:

Crazy times two! L.A. Colors Art Deco Nail Art Lacquer...at Rite-Aid?? All I've got to say is, Rite-Aid is really stepping it up with their selection these days!

Next we have a new Prestige mascara called "My Blackest Lashes":

I am a big fan of Prestige "My Biggest Lashes" (click here for my original review) but I'm not sure if the promise of darker lashes is really going to sway me to try this one. Carbon black mascaras are so trendy right now, and this one comes with a free black eyeliner (which is dual-ended with a smudge sponge tip for the smokey eye look) so maybe I might change my mind. It's a pretty good deal for $6.50.

I also spotted these limited edition nail color displays from Sally Hansen, Wet n Wild and Borghese:

This is a limited edition HD Nail Color and Lip Inflation Extreme HD lipgloss collection. As you can see, the best color in the nail polishes was already sold out (a very cool-looking silver/gray with little HD "particles" that is illustrated in the picture on the display) and the glosses look gorgeous up close (they look like they've got the same type of light-refracting particles that the polishes have).

This is the Wet n Wild "Festive Flirt" holiday collection of nail colors. This is pretty much your standard golds, silvers and jewel-tones but I love the display and of course these limited edition bottles are so small and cute at just $1.99 a piece.

And here's the Borghese "Festivo" holiday collection which features, again, your standard gold, silver and jewel-toned shades. I really like that deep amethyst cream though.

And last but certainly not least, here is a new collection of nail polishes that I have never seen or heard of before called "Lay It On Me". These are made by a company called Blue Cross Beauty (whose website is currently under construction) and here's the gimmick: There are three layers of color in each bottle and as the display states: "Do not shake! Just dip and apply for a surprise color and a very special effect!"

Now, if you've been reading my blog for any length of time, then you know I had to buy one of these. I mean, how could I not? I'm doing it for YOU, people! I know you need to know if these work, right? lol!

The shade(s) I bought is called "Lay It On Me Ra" (I don't really get that but whatever):

Although the top shade looks like orange in this picture, I assure you that in real life it is a bright, neon pink. Also, all three colors in my bottle are creams, but I did see some that had two layers of cream shades with one shimmer. In retrospect, I probably should have picked up the one with the neon pink cream on top, black cream in the middle and purple shimmer on the bottom, but I'm a sucker for blues so there you have it.

I know, I'm holding you all in suspense, but I won't be trying "Lay It On Me" until tomorrow morning. So check back tomorrow afternoon and hopefully I'll have my review posted (if you're curious).

In the meantime, have you seen or purchased any of these new products?
