Revlon Limited Edition Daydreamer Collection (and a CVS question)

I know this collection has been out for a while now, but I finally found a fully-stocked display so I thought I'd share a few pics with you, in case any of you have yet to see the full selection of shades that are available (don't you hate it when you walk into your local drugstore and see a new display but there are only one or two shades left?).

 Revlon Limited Edition Daydreamer Collection

In this collection there are five shades of lipgloss:


Four shades of nail polish (a few of these shades look very similar to this collection, don't they?):


And one eyeshadow quad:

I purchased one of the nail colors last night (Gray Suede) because I had a $2 Revlon coupon (which I think I got from the Sunday paper a while back) which brought the price down from $4.99 to $2.99. I will swatch it soon if you'd like to see it. 

Which brings me to my question!  If you aren't already aware, CVS is running a sale this week where if you purchase $10 worth of Revlon products, you will receive 3 Extra Bucks.  I obviously didn't hit the $10 mark with my purchase last night, but I noticed that, on the bottom of my receipt, it printed this message:


Is this a new feature??  I was always under the impression that, in order to get your Extra Bucks, you had to make the purchase in ONE transaction. I had no idea that you could spread it out over multiple transactions! If this is how it's always been, I am kicking myself for not knowing about it.  Can any of you shed some light on this?  Thanks!

  1. I am SO glad you noticed this, because I did the same thing yesterday! I just went and checked my CVS Extra Care card account and it DOES look like it's tracking spending activity under my "Current Balances".

    The best way might be to go buy some more and then check it out again! (DARN, having to spend more money on beauty products... :-) )

  3. i've noticed this for other types of promotions before (read: non- health&beauty, such as buy this much in Hallmark cards, get this many free or this many Extrabucks.)

    i have to go to CVS tomorrow (for scripts and to play the slot machine)- i'll have to check my recipt again!

  4. I've noticed this before on a CVS ECB candy deal. I didn't know though that the 10 bucks applies to purchase BEFORE the coupon? I have my eye on these glosses, and am waiting for a Walgreens sale b/c I noticed in the May coupon book there is a $2 Walgreens coupon, so am going to try to combine that with the Sunday paper coupon- hope it works!

  5. Yup, you're right. For as long as I can remember you could buy the necessary items for the ECB throughout the entire week.

  6. I bought two of the new Revlon glosses. The lilac one called Lilac Pastelle and the coral one called Coral Reef.

    Love the Coral Reef color. The lilac one is a bit too light for me but topped with a darker shade of lipstick and it's really nice.

    I bought mine at Walgreen's and although there wasn't any specials going on for Revlon at the time I asked the cashier if there were any and she said she has a Revlon coupon and brought out a stack of 2.00 off coupons and scanned it for me. She was really nice!

    So, it doesn't hurt to ask even though you know there's no specials running for that week. :-)

  7. These are gorgeous! I want all the nail polishes and all the lip glosses! I hope I find this display! Please show the nail polish you bought! I'd love to see it!

  8. I have all of those lipglosses except Firecracker - they are SO pretty! :)

    Speaking of CVS, did you know about their Green Bag Tag? If not, it's a little leaf-shaped tag that you can attach to a reusable shopping bag and after 4 purchases (No minimum limit...you could buy a candy bar! LOL) you get an instant $1 ECB. It costs $.99 but every few weeks or so they have it where you get that back in ECB, so it's essentially free!

  10. I'm more concern with you got the Revlon display now but I've seen the display here since start of April. But you also posted the Maybelline sweet collection a while ago and I've only started seeing them this month as well. I'm trying to figure out when the Loreal & Sally Hansen displays will arrive because I'm going back to Asia this month and I really want them! >,<

  11. Ooooohhhh, those glosses look so amazing and I just love Revlon glosses. And the colors seem to be so different from what other LE collections. See, this is not going to help with my lipgloss addiction. I must have them all! LOL.

    Thanks for this post my friend. <3

  12. JT: Thanks for confirming that! I don't know why I never noticed it before. :(

    Lyssachelle: You are so welcome, honey! It looks like it's always been this way but I guess we never noticed it? Oh well...I'm just glad to know we have a week to take advantage of deals like this and we don't have to rush and buy all the goodies at once. :)

    Ashwini: I'd love to see a review if you get any of these! :)

    beautifulmonday: Yep, apparently it's always been like this, but I guess I never saw it before because I always purchased the required products all at the same time. lol! :)

    Lily: Yes!! I only recently discovered this myself, but ALL extra bucks deals, rebates, minimum purchases, etc. are calculated BEFORE coupons, at every store (not just CVS). Isn't that awesome?? :)

    shlee: Yay!! That is so great! :)

    LT: Thanks for the mini-review of those glosses! :) And yes, I always try to tell everyone to check with the beauty counter before you buy something at Wags because they always seem to have good coupons. Glad you know about this!! :D

    PCS: You got it, honey!! :D

    JenJen: Oooh, you're making me want to get one of these glosses ASAP! :) And yes, I posted about the CVS Green Bag Tag in my Earth Day post. I love it! I think I've already accumulated three Extra Bucks because of that little leaf. :)

    LaVogue: I totally agree. :)

    Fay: Actually, I've seen this display many times before, but I tried to say in my post that I was showing pics of it because it was the first time I had seen it fully stocked somewhere. Usually when I see it, most of the items are gone. lol. But I've seen this display since April too. :)

    Beda: I had a feeling you would love these glosses! lol!! Can't wait for you to see this display and get some, and then of course do one of your fabulous reviews! xo

  15. The lipglosses aren't limited edition! I emailed Revlon, asking if the shades (I specifically named each shade) were limited edition. They said:
    "Thank you for your recent comments from the Revlon website. We would like to thank you for your interest in the availability of various shades Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss. These shades are not Limited Edition items."

    so yay! we can all get our purple lipgloss fixens now haha (:
