Spotted at the drugstore: lots of new products

NOTE: Whenever I do these types of sightings posts, I tend to receive comments and emails about other new products that you might be seeing at your local drugstores. While I LOVE and ENCOURAGE this, I want to be sure that, before you comment or email me about something new, you do a quick search of my blog to see if I've already covered these products (the new Neuutrogena products and the new L'Oreal products and Maybelline products come to mind). Please be sure to search the blog before posting/emailing new products, and thank you SO much for your help and cooperation!

I've got TONS to cover here today, so let's get right into it!

First up, the mysterious "other BB cream" from L'Oreal:

New L'Oreal Youth Code BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF15 in Light

Reader Helen spotted and purchased this at her local Walgreens. This is NOT the same BB Cream as the one I purchased--as you can see, this one contains sunscreen (the L'Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream does not). I really would like to try this one when I'm done testing the Magic Skin Beautifier (which I'll be reviewing soon). If you've tried the Youth Code BB Cream, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

PS: Readers have said that the Youth Code BB Cream is located in the SKINCARE aisle, not the makeup aisle, in case you'd like to buy it.

New Suave Limited Edition Seasonals Guava Passion Flower Body Wash

Reader Lisa spotted the new Suave Limited Edition Body Washes at Walmart. These come in two fragrances: Berry Bliss, which Lisa says is a mixture of strawberry, blackberry and maybe raspberry, and the second is Guava Passion Flower, which is the one Lisa purchased above.

New Softsoap Limited Edition Scentsations Tropical Twist Body Wash

Reader Rachelle spotted the Softsoap Limited Edition Scensations Body Washes recently at her local Walmart. Rachelle said there are two scents: Tropical Twist, which looks to be lemon-lime, and Coconut Island

Essie Mirror Metallics Collection

Reader Brie spotted the new Essie Mirror Metallics collection at her Walgreens recently--I know a lot of you have been reporting sightings of this display also. Do you own any shades? What do you think of them? I haven't seen them in person yet!

Brie also spotted two additional displays at her Walgreens:

Revlon Cool Crackle Collection

Alright, so remember back in February when Revlon released their crackle polish duos? I think we probably all thought that collection was going to be the last of Revlon and crackles, but NO! If you still have a craving for crackles, here's a new display for you!

e.l.f. 32 Piece Cool (left) and Warm (right) Eyeshadow Palettes and Super Glossy Lip Collection

This is VERY exciting news, folks! Brie found these at Walgreens the other day, and the palette on the right is THE EXACT PALETTE that I mentioned in my Urban Decay Naked Palette dupe post! How awesome is that??

PS: Both of the eyeshadow palettes in this display are listed as Limited Edition on the e.l.f. website, but their names keep changing. At first they were called the Holiday Studio Endless Eyes Pro Mini Eyeshadow Palettes. Now on the website they're just called the Limited Edition Studio Endless Eyes Pro Mini Eyeshadow Palettes. But as you can see in this photo, the packaging reads:  "e.l.f. Eyeshadow Palette" and then underneath it says "32 Piece Cool/Warm Eyeshadow Set". But make no mistake, these are all the SAME palettes, regardless of the name changes/tweeks.

Next up, long-time photo contributor Jess spotted some new skincare and haircare products recently:

 New Garnier Sleek & Shine Moroccan Sleek Oil Treatment

It's about time Garnier jumped on the Argan Oil bandwagon, eh?

New Garnier Sleek Finish 5-in-1 Serum Spray with Argan Oil

Jess said she's loving this spray because you don't get your hands oily during application.

New Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream for Dry Skin

Thanks to my moisturizer question from last week, I now know that MANY of you love Garnier's Moisture Rescue Gel. So those with dry skin might be excited to see that they've released a new version just for YOU (the pink one).

 New Rimmel Scandaleyes Lycra Flex Mascara

The older Georgia May Jagger gets, the more she looks like her father to me. You can see it in the mouth especially. Beautiful!

Anyway, is it just me or does it seem like Rimmel releases 100 new mascaras per year? Not really, but they do release quite a few every year!

New L'Oreal EverSleek Precious Oil Treatment with Argan Oil

And is it me, or does JLo look like Madonna in this pic?? That's super weird, but anyway....

Fans of the L'Oreal Ever series of products might be excited to see they've jumped on the Argan Oil bandwagon too with this new treatment.

New Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Collection

Dry-skinned lovelies, here's ANOTHER new skincare line just for you! There's a cream cleanser, day lotion, eye cream and night cream in this range.

Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Cream Cleanser with Clary Sage

Thanks SO MUCH, Helen, Lisa, Rachelle, Brie and Jess for the awesome pics--I really appreciate it!

Have you spotted/purchased any of these new products? Thoughts?

  2. Hey,
    I just bought two Essie Metallics in CVS today (Penny Talk and Blue Rhapsody) and I'll be returning them both tomorrow. While in the bottle they look beautiful, they smudge like crazy (I know that metallic formulas tend to do so, however I HOPED Essie would figure it out somehow and make it better LOL). I posted swatches of Penny Talk on my blog, so please feel free to check it out if you feel like it ;)

    I'm super excited for the Garnier moisturizer - it looks... really moisturizing :D

    1. I bought 3 from the metallic collection and although they are beautiful colours I had the same problem with them. Huge essie fan but these ones are horrible.

    2. Wow, thanks for the tip, ladies!

  4. I need to try that Burts Bees cleanser. Wonder how long it will take me to find it, given that I have NEVER seen a special display of Burts Bees products in any store near me

    1. I've seen these new Burt's Bees products in person.
      At one of my CVS stores, they have the display ON TOP of an aisle.

      Weird, right?

    2. Glad to hear they're popping up at CVs too!

  6. LOL, I can see how JLo looks like Madonna in that pic too!

    Tons of new products I want to try.

    I wanted to try the original Garnier's moisture rescue gel cream, but I'm excited to see they have new types too. :D

    1. She does! I've also seen many pics where Kate Winslet looks identical to M. I cannot wait to get the Tkees sandals that come with the matching Essie polish, YAY!

  7. Sinful Colors has a display up in Walgreens--all repromotes--red/white/blue and "nail art" sized red. "Liberty Belle"

    ReplyDelete
  8. There is a Sinful Colors "Liberty Belle" display at my local Walgreens--looks to be all repromotes, however.

    Thanks for the tip on the Youth Code BB Cream being in skin care, not makeup--I actually found it on a display at the counter.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I picked up the new SoftSoap bodywash in Tropical Twist and it smells like tropical fruit gum. Not very citrus-y at all.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I ALSO found the Youth Code BB Cream by the Beauty register where Jordana is usually displayedl. I want to try this too, but it's $17!! @_@ Pretty high for the drugstore for me. Hopefully it's worth the price!

    ReplyDelete
  11. excited to try the garnier moroccon oil treatments...has anybody tried them?

    ReplyDelete
  12. I must try out the new Garnier dry skin moisture renew since I'm already a big fan of the original one. I've been using it for years. I think it's time for me to hunt it down.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Finding the ELF palettes is great, but what blew me away was that they were found at Walgreens... since when is Wags carrying ELF? Anyone know the quality of these? I recently bought two of their $1 quads and was not impressed. Super chalky, but very pigmented which led to a big muddy mess.

    ReplyDelete

    1. Walgreens has actually sold elf in the past. I think the last time I posted sightings pics of elf at Walgreens was last Christmas, so it looks like they're on a seasonal cycle. Hope that helps!

      Delete
  14. Wow!! So many new things to try!! Specially for the hair, I'm excited to start finding them here where I live :o) I guess I am going to start putting some OT at work LOL

    ReplyDelete
  15. Phew! So much to keep in mind. I love that so many more mainstream companies are bringing out shine products with Argan Oil!

    ReplyDelete
  16. I really hope I find the E.L.F. palletes at my Walgreens! Thanks for the post, I'm so addicted to your blog.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Wow, I think I want those ELF palettes, at least the neutrals. Thanks for the heads-up!

    I bought three of the Essie Mirror Metallics and have only swatched one so far, Penny Talk. I like it. Using one coat of polish was enough, and with a base coat and a good fast-drying top coat, it was fine. The other two colors I got are the light blue and light purple and want to try those very soon.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Oooh,, interesting! So I guess these work best as one-coaters then, eh?

      Delete
    2. They do for me. I found that the more I tried to "work" the polish, the worse it looked. One coat, with as few brushstrokes as possible, was best, and definitely use a top coat. I love them! I swatched the blue one, Blue Rhapsody, yesterday and like it even more than the copper.

      Delete
  18. The Youth Code BB Cream is 2.5 oz, which when compared to the .9 oz size of the Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream, makes the Youth Code cheaper per ounce.

    I've purchased and tried both, but haven't made up my mind which one I like better.

    BTW, when I purchased the Youth Code on Sunday, it was at Wags on sale for $13.49. I don't know if that sale is going on elsewhere or not.

    ReplyDelete
  19. So many new things! I'm a sucker for mascaras, so I think I'll need to try the new Rimmel one. And the Suave bodywashes sound yummy!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I love the moisture gel! i got mine for $3 after coupons and it's the only moisturizer i'll use now :) want to try the morrocan oil spray!

    ReplyDelete
  21. WOW! My heart just jumped over the NEW Burt's Bees products! :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. If only Garnier would put sunsscreen in the moisture gel it would be perfect (as long as the SS didn't make it greasy!) I can't wait to try the new dry skin one! I hope the formulation has less alcohol than the current one!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. As someone who has major issues with most sunscreens, I hope they don't. Or at least make another formula option so we have a choice. It would make the product unusable for me. :)

  23. I purchased the Rimmel Scandaleyes Lycra Flex mascara. It reminded me a lot of the Maybelline Mega Plush mascara. I blogged a review and comparison swatches of the two. Feel free to check it out if you'd like. For my short and straight lashes, I prefer Maybelline's, but you might choose differently depending on what you want the mascara to do.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I LOVE Essie No Place Like Chrome. A one-coater and damn near mirror finish. It's a must-have in my book.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Does anyone know if the Garnier Moisture Gel somewhat comparable to Clinique's Dramatically Different Gel?

    ReplyDelete
  26. I'm really hoping to find that Soft Soap Coconut Island shower gel. I just got their Coconut & Warm Ginger hand soap and it smells AMAZING. One of the best coconut scented bath products I've ever tried, so I'm kind of hoping the shower gel smells kind of like it.
