Rite Aid Winter Beauty Clearance Sale

LAST UPDATE: 3:00PM PST, 12/10.

The Rite Aid Winter Beauty Clearance Sale is officially underway! Thanks to several of you for the heads-up about this Rite Aid sale--I've got LOTS of pics to share with you today!

PLEASE READ BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS IN THE COMMENTS (THANKS):

• If you do not see yellow clearance stickers on the displays at your store, take some of these items to the register and ask a cashier to scan them. They might come up on clearance in the system even if you don't see the yellow tags on the displays.

• Other shades and products may be on clearance right now (in addition to what you see here) so don't rely 100% on this list.

• Rite Aid allows you to use coupons on clearance merchandise, which means you might be able to score some of these products for free or close to free if you have any coupons.

• Sometimes Rite Aid will apply +UP Rewards offers to clearance merchandise. This doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen, so if any of these products have a weekly +UP Rewards offer attached to them, you might get those rewards too!

• Just because something is marked on clearance during one of these sales does not necessarily mean that it's about to be discontinued. HOWEVER, often times it is an indicator that the product is about to be discontinued. If you love anything listed below, I wouldn't hesitate to stock up, just in case the product does eventually get discontinued.

• There is no end-date to this type of sale, as the object is to get old product out and bring in new product. So these products should be on sale until most everything is wiped out and the new 2014 products take their places. Also, I would expect to find these same products on clearance at CVS, Walgreens and other retailers very soon.

SINFUL COLORS

 Daddy's Girl

 Tapping Nails, What's Your Name

 Aqua

Mercury Rising, I Love You

REVLON

ALL Revlon Neon Nail Art

MOST Expressionist Nail Art

Select Revlon Nail Colors

Two items of note:

1) Several readers have reported that Whimsical is on clearance at their Rite Aid stores and I know this one will go quickly, so don't hesitate to grab it. This is the Deborah Lippmann Glitter in the Air dupe and you can see my swatches here.

2)  Revlon Top Speed After Party is on clearance as well. This is similar to Sinful Colors Leap Flog (click here and scroll down to see my comparison) and I actually think I prefer After Party to Leap Flog.

And here's something interesting:

• Notice how ALL shades of Mineral Wear Lipglaze are on clearance in Agnieszka's pic (my store only had two shades tagged on clearance). 
• Also, my store did not have the Age Defying DNA Concealer on clearance, but all shades are tagged on clearance in Agnieszka's pic.
• ALL of the Photoready Blush palettes are tagged on clearance here (none were tagged at my store).
• MOST Revlon powder blushes were tagged on clearance here (only a few were tagged on clearance at my store). By the way, I'm pretty sure all of the Revlon powder blushes are going bye-bye in favor of the new Revlon blushes I posted about here.

So again, don't just rely on my photos--you may find more items/shades on clearance at YOUR Rite Aid.

ONE MORE THING: Reader Nadaly just posted a comment on the blog saying that she also spotted the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains in Adore and Darling on 75% off clearance at HER Rite Aid, so check your stores for that one (and if you don't see tags, take them up to the register and ask a cashier to scan them because, once again, they might be on clearance in the system). 

Thanks again to everyone who has taken the time to share your Rite Aid clearance sightings with us. I really appreciate it! And thanks to Agnieszka for the great pics!
