HIGHLIGHTS, TIDBITS AND NEWS

ULTA TIP: Noteworthy deals valid now through 5/10 both in-store and online: Real Techniques Bold Metals collection 20% off and all Nyx cosmetics BOGO1/2OFF. Remember you can use this $3.50 off $10 coupon with these deals!

CVS shoppers: This week all Sally Hansen Xtreme Wears are $1.99 and when you buy 1, you get $0.99 back in Extra Bucks (limit 1 on the Extra Bucks deal). I've been wearing that Marsala-ish shade a lot lately; if you can find it this week I highly recommend (especially for $1 after rewards). Another nice deal this week is when you buy any 2 Physicians Formula cosmetics you get $10 back in Extra Bucks (that's basically a BOGOFREE if you buy two $9.99 items). Also, a kind reader on Twitter mentioned that she heard that the Summer edition of the Semi-Annual Beauty Clearance Sale starts this month. So keep your eyes open for any new 50% or 75% off sale sticker in the makeup aisle (and as always, if you spot some I would LOVE to hear from you!).

Rite Aid shoppers:  +UP Rewards are now Plenti Points starting this week (more info here if you need it). Not much going on in terms of beauty this week, but Rite Aid Renewal skincare is BOGOFREE again, and would you believe that I still haven't found those Clinique dupes? I'm wondering if they're only in select stores. Have any of you seen/tried them yet? I would really like to get some while they're BOGOFREE, but maybe it's just not in the cards! IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT VIDEO VALUES: I believe that, with the switch to Plenti Points, the Rite Aid Video Values coupon program has been discontinued. The link that used to take us to the Video Values listings now redirects to the Wellness+ page, and when you go to the main Video Values page, you get this. #RIPVideoValues.

Walgreens shoppers: This week you get $1 off Wet n Wild cosmetics with a regular retail price $2.99 and over (see new limited edition California Dreaming collection here, which is now popping up at Walgreens and part of this sale). This sale is also going on online (free shipping on all orders $25+). Speaking of online sales, now through 5/9, you can enter code BEAUTY25 for 25% off any non-sale beauty and personal care items on the Walgreens site (as most of you know, Walgreens.com offers lots of beauty products that you can't always find in-store, such as products by Black Radiance, Boots, etc.). The May Coupon Book is now available (free in stores). You can click HERE for a list of the coupons in this month's book (there are some nice makeup coupons this month, like $1 off L'Oreal eye cosmetics, $1 off Maybelline eyeshadow, etc.). Don't forget that you can use those coupons on clearance items and also stack those coupons with any manufacturer's coupons you may have, for even more savings.

DRUGSTORE BEAUTY SALES FOR WEEK OF 5/3 - 5/9

The following sale info has been obtained from national circulars. I do my best to recap sales that are happening in ALL regions of the United States, but certain sales vary from region to region. Also, you may live in an area that does not run national sales. If you do not see these sales in your area, check with your local store manager for more details.

  1. FYI I bought the California Dreaming matte bronzers and topcoat last night (and two of the Silver Lake bronzer trios last week) and none of those products were $1 off.

    1. Actually, they are! If you look at the top left corner of the display (there's a link in this post) you can see the sale info printed on the display itself. As some readers mentioned last week, they may not come up in the system as on sale, but all you have to do is point out the display and they should price adjust for you. I would definitely take what you bought back and get the adjustment! :)

  2. Hello! When I try to use the BEAUTY25 coupon on non sale personal care items I'm told its expired. Have you hears anything about this? Thanks!

    1. That is so weird! I tested it and I got the same message. But this is what is listed on the Walgreens website in the fine print for that code:

      "Orders must be placed by 11:59 p.m. Central Time on May 9th, 2015 to qualify. "

      If you have time, maybe try calling customer service tomorrow and see if they can give you the discount manually? Sorry about that!

  3. I just came back from ulta, but the concealer and mascara were not bogo1/2. Sad day.
