It constantly impresses me that my dear friend Halifax, the Canadian blogger behind Sparkled Beauty, always knows more about what's going on in the world of US drugstore beauty than I do, despite the fact that she's in another country!
Today Halifax informed me that Confetti and 10 polishes are being pulled from CVS. I had no idea about this, so she quickly filled me in (thanks, H!). And then I saw Nails Beautiqued's informative post which explains exactly what's going on between Sally Hansen and MBA Beauty (makers of Confetti and 10 polishes). It's an interesting read, so definitely check it out when you have a minute.
So the big question that Halifax asked, and one I wish I could answer, is: will Confetti and 10 go on clearance soon, or will CVS just sell the existing stock until it's gone? When CVS gets rid of a line, it usually goes on deep clearance, but the circumstances of this line going away are a little different, so it might not go on sale at all--who knows! If any of you spot Confetti or 10 polishes on clearance at your local CVS locations, could you let me know? It would be nice to get them at a low price before they disappear forever.
If you have no idea what Confetti and 10 polishes look like, here are pics from some of my earlier reviews:
Also, if you want to see any of the individual shades that I have reviewed, just do a search for "confetti" on this blog and all of them should come up.
In the meantime, are you sad that these lines seems to be going bye-bye?
oh no! i just moved to where i'm near CVS locations, and these were one of the reasons i was so excited. i hope they go on clearance.
ReplyDeleteBleh, well this stinks. I really wasn't over the moon with the formula and brushes with this brand, but I liked having them around. They had an nice variety of colors with at a great price! I recommend getting Smitten and Moonstruck if anyone is unsure. Those are my favorites. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried these polishes yet! I'll be looking for clearance signs though
ReplyDeleteI think they will be missed as a low-end polish. Steph is right about Moonstruck; it's very cool. So, you can probably guess where I'm going tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteSteph: Awww, that SUX! I'm sorry hun. :(
ReplyDeleteStardustStephanie & Kimberly: Did you see my Moonstruck comparison from a while back? You might find it interesting. :)

Tiff: If you find these on clearance, could you let me know? Thanks honey!
Hey, I was curious about your overall thoughts on the line -should I be stocking up?? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe CVS stores in my area don't carry 10 or Confetti. I've looked when you've put up reviews and nada. Guess it's a regional product.
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to try Confetti eversince you post up the post about this new brand at CVS. I rarely shop at CVS because it is not convenience for me, so I have not get a chance to buy one. I am kinda disappointed to see that it will get pull off soon. I do hope that they have sale for it. I do not like to shop for nail polishes because I don't paint my nails often, and when I do buy them, it is hard for me to choose color since dark, bold, bright color is not a choice for me. What I have left is light pink, natural to nude, and may be a light purple if I am lucky. Therefore, I have to make careful decision when I buy polishes. I am also not sure if Confetti is available at my CVS. I might check it out this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been too swayed by their displays (too many nail polishes already and I'm cheap), but for a clearance? I'll buy the crap outta them for xmas presents!
ReplyDeleteI went yesterday and the display was still up and had a lot of the colors still there for the orig. price $1.99. Location was Santa Clarita, CA
ReplyDeleteJust saw them in Central TX for the 1.99 price.
ReplyDeletehm, i havent even seen these brands of polish at any of the CVS stores near me. maybe i just havent been looking, i'll check the two CVS's in my area this weekend
ReplyDeletewhat this is lame.. i finally not that broke(student) to check some of the colors out.. they have interesting shades... boo but I hope they go on clearance.. lol
ReplyDeleteWow. Interesting. As you know I am reading archives and only just discovered Confetti in Feb 2010. My main CVS has (to my knowledge) never had this, another kind of local does. I discovered this in Feb, late Feb, and it was a brand new, full display on the Saturday morning I saw it. I bought about six of the Confetti's cause they looked so great. I love this brand and I guess something happened to keep it for sale.
ReplyDeleteBack to reading, but I had to comment.
I am confused ed cause I see their polishes stocked all the time in every cvs I go to do you know what happen or whats going I know this is a post from last year but are they possible not going to be there any more, accuely the cvs closest to me had their shelf stocked with them all for the holidays???
