But first, a few important things:
- If you're new to Walgreens clearance markdowns, Walgreens is one of the few retailers that lets you apply any current weekly sale promotions to clearance items. For example: this week Revlon foundation, primer, concealer, blush, powder, eye, lip and nail cosmetics are BOGO1/2OFF (now through 11/1). So if any of those items are ALSO on clearance, you'll get the BOGO1/2OFF on top of the clearance price. Sweet, right? So if you purchased two clearance Top Speed nail polishes @ $2.99 each (50% off clearance price), after the sale deduction you would pay about $4.45 for two nail polishes. You would pay even less if you had some Revlon manufacturer's coupons and/or Walgreens Register Rewards or Balance Rewards points that you used on top of that.
- I actually forgot that select Walgreens locations carry a full display of NYX, but it turns out that I blogged about this back in February of this year. Anyway, if you are lucky enough to live near a Walgreens that has a permanent NYX wall display, reader @hellomiss_suki on Instagram spotted a ton of 50% off clearance markdowns in the NYX display at her Walgreens this week. (Thanks for that tip, @hellomiss_suki!)
- When an entire line is spotted on clearance at the drugstore (all or most shades), that can mean that the line itself is about to be discontinued. This isn't always the case, but sometimes (most of the time) it seems to be the case. So if you see anything below that happens to be a holy grail product of yours, you might want to stock up, in case it does get discontinued.
OK, now for the products that Jennifer spotted on clearance at her Walgreens this week:

Also in the pic above, you can see some foundation on 50% off clearance on the lower right side of the pic. I think that's the Photoready Foundation--please correct me if I'm wrong!

SELECT SHADES 50% OFF:

Once again, remember that this week (now through 11/1) the Revlon items shown above are also on sale for BOGO1/2OFF. So you will get the BOGO1/2OFF promotion on top of the clearance price. Sally Hansen is NOT on sale this week.
Additional thoughts: I'm a bit devastated that the Colorburst Lipglosses look like they're getting discontinued. This doesn't shock me at all (I feel like it's been coming for a while) but I really do love the formula of those glosses and I'll be sad to see them go if they really are going this time. As for the Top Speeds, I really hope those aren't going away! I hope the Colorburst Lip Butters aren't going away either--I'm thankful that all shades aren't on clearance because that gives me hope that they're just slimming down the line (or adding new shades).
Have you spotted these or any other cosmetics on clearance at your local Walgreens lately? I would love to hear from you!
Thanks again, Jennifer, for the great sighitng and pics. I truly appreciate it!
I found the Rimmel 25 hour foundation for $3.49 today.
ReplyDeleteSweet!! Thank you!!
DeleteYes, that's photoready foundation for 50% off...my Walgreens also had an additional $1 off coupon at the beauty counter. (I missed the bogo50off though...may need to go back!)
ReplyDeleteAaaah, thanks Jenn!!
DeleteMy tip: pay close attention to which item the clearance tag says is eligible for the discount. I had to return a few things that rang up full price!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip!
DeleteThis is true, they're very specific down to the shades. Same happened to me, too bad they don't have the self-scanner like CVS!
DeleteI have nearly all the Color Burst glosses and when I leave looked at the new HD glosses I figured the former were on their way out. The shades are just so similar. Hope I get to stock up! Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteYep, it sounds like they'll be taking their place! And you're so welcome! :)
DeleteI agree that I don't want to see the Revlon lip butters go. The Pink Truffle shade is one of my all-time favorites. I've spotted some new Revlon stuff, those high definition glosses and lipsticks (you reported on one or both a week or two ago). I was wondering if those will replace some of the current stock. I hope I find some of the Brilliant Strength nail enamels on clearance, though. I have been wanting to try a couple shades there but can't bring myself to pay $8 for them!
ReplyDeleteYep, it definitely looks like that's what is happening. Good thing I really like the gloss I'm getting ready to review! Lol. ;)
DeleteI'm curious about the new lippies. I've been eyeballing the glosses and lipsticks every time I see them. I can't decide if I want to try or even which ones I want to try, so I'm eager for your review.
Deleteahhhh! I'm so envious we need Walgreens sale in the Philippines! You guys are so lucky :D
ReplyDeleteI wish they would do shipping. :)
I emailed you details.
ReplyDeleteDid you get my email? It seems like I always have issues when it comed to emailing you haha.
DeleteYay. Get em while ya can ladies!!!
ReplyDeleteI saw a display of new Revlon lipglosses at my walgreens today(10/28) but I didn't get a chance to snap a pic. There were also what looked like new lipsticks in the display as well.
ReplyDeleteIf you mean the Revlon HDs, I actually posted pics of the glosses and lipsticks a few weeks ago. But thank you!! :)
DeleteAll Cover Girl Lip Perfection, mini nail polishes and All Jordana Eye Shadow Pencils were 50%
ReplyDeleteLove the lip perfection line. To me they were the first truly moisturizing lippies that helped my lips and started other brands in the right direction. Now super moisturizing lip products can easily be found. My dry lips are no longer the bane of my existence. Lol! I actually like lipstick now when pre-CG Lip Perfection collection I avoided them as the plague they were. Lol!
DeleteAt my walgreens, they had rimmel, covergirl polishes on clearance. I had a $1 off coupon for rimmel it was marked down to .89 and the clerk would not accept my coupon :-(, even though I told her another walgreens gave it to me for free.
ReplyDeletei need to get some lip butter for sure ! why clearance they discontinue those products?
ReplyDeletei also saw the rimmel showoff at clearance for i think $3.19
ReplyDeleteI saw a lot of the same stuff on clearance at Kmart yesterday- like the SH Diamond shine line, Top Speed nail colors, all Revlon Lip Butters, AND Revlon Super Lustrous lip glosses(but not the Colorburst gloss line.)
ReplyDeleteI thought the news about Revlon lip butters going away was confirmed a while ago, I read somewhere. I'd be happy if I'm wrong though. I just saw some 50% off across the whole line at a store chain here in Canada that I hope weren't the discontinued situation (L'Oreal Magic Nude liquid powders, Infallible lip, Colour Caresse stains, etc.)
ReplyDeleteI was in Walgreens last night but I was focused on finding the Profusion holiday makeup, so I didn't notice any clearance items- looks like another trip is in my future!
ReplyDeleteAll shades of the jordana eye shadow pencils, the squeeze tube lip glosses and the brush on lip shine shimmer glosses are 50% off, including Continuous Almond! Some shades of their eyeliners are 50% off as well, like Mint, Purple Fusion, Jade Jewel and more. It was only the colored ones though, not the blacks or browns.
ReplyDeleteWould CVS have a sale like this per past year's history? I don't have a Walgreens near me:((
ReplyDeleteI just stopped at my local Walgreens to snag some of the Lip Butters, and the shades on clearance at my store were NOT the same as in the photo you posted. At my store, Sugar Frosting, Tutti Frutti, Wild Watermelon, Sugar Plum, Sweet Tart and Fig Jam (!!!) were all 50% off and labeled discontinued. :(
ReplyDeleteSo now I'm sort of confused about which are being discontinued, because the photo in this post definitely shows more shades on clearance than I saw at my store. Any ideas, G?
A ton of Rimmel products were on clearance at my store, too. I don't buy a lot of Rimmel products so I can't quite remember what was on sale, but I do like their 60 second nail polish and several of those were marked down to 89 cents. (I snagged Blue Eyed Girl and I Lilac You.)

ReplyDeleteI would love this share this information with all of you. Some of milani's nail polish colors are on clearance and I noticed that one of the polishes looks exactly like a certain recent limited edition nail polish from the wet n wild 2014 halloween collection.
ReplyDeleteMilani's golden romance is identical looking to the wet n wild mega rocks limited edition rising star. I held both bottles next to each other for comparison throughly. So for anyone who missed or had a hard time finding wet n wild's rising star this is a great duplicate.
Not all shades of Colorburst are marked clearance. So hopefully they're not discontinuing all of them. I had to really look closely because it was select shades of everything, although it looks like the entire line of Cover Girl LipPerfection is either being discontinued, or maybe they'll just reformulate/redesign? I saw so much stuff on clearance yesterday I had a mini-meltdown! E-mail me (nolaweaver@gmail.com) if you want pics or details, G.! I made note of some of the different shades in the different lines.
ReplyDeleteI bought 2 of the new Revlon HD glosses today, and they're definitely a rebranding of the Colorburst (YAY!). In fact, they brought back a shade that had previously been discontinued which is the most perfect peach I've ever owned and I was heartbroken when they stopped making it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the formula of the HD glosses is even better than Colorburst! They took a great product and made it even better. :)
That peach color... What is the new name?
DeleteYou guys, I'm pretty sure they're replacing our beloved colorburst glosses and lip butters with the hd ones. *sob* I know I'm stocking up! We're those anyone else's holy grail glosses?
ReplyDeleteI was at Walgreens last Friday and I picked up a few lipsticks from Covergirl, Rimmel, and Wet n Wild Fergie on clearance. If I can stop by tomorrow, I'll take some photos! :)
ReplyDeleteI was at Walgreens on Black Friday and they had a LARGE chunk of the Wet N Wild display clearanced, including ALL the 8 pans, all the foundation and powder, a lot of the nail polish, and a chunk of the Fergie collection. I have photos if you want them. I picked up another Comfort Zone palette for $2.79, and I figured I would warn people that it might be going away for good.
