CVS Winter 2015 Semi-Annual Beauty Clearance Sale Master List

LAST UPDATE: 12/15/15, 1:45PM PACIFIC

If you are new to this sale, please (I'm begging you!) read through these FAQs. These tips will help you maximize your savings.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
  • If you do not see little green or pink clearance stickers on items at your store, IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THESE PRODUCTS ARE NOT ON CLEARANCE IN THE SYSTEM. Take some items from the master list below to the red scanner box and SCAN THEM. They might come up on clearance in the system even if you don't see clearance stickers on the merchandise. If clearance items aren't stickered, it's like having the clearance sale all to yourself!
  • CVS may allow you to use manufacturer's 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 (this is at the store's discretion; it may vary from store to store). Click here for coupons.com printable beauty coupons and.click here for redplum.com printable beauty coupons that you may be able to use during this sale.
  • Almost always, CVS will state "excludes clearance" on their weekly sales, so don't expect to get a rewards offer in conjunction with a clearance item. HOWEVER, your purchases count toward your reward for being a CVS Beauty Club Member (Beauty Club Members earn $5 in Extra Bucks for every $50 spent on beauty products) and you can of course use Extra Bucks toward your purchases.
  • 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 sale, as the object is to get old product out and bring new product in. So these products should be on sale until most everything is wiped out and the new 2016 products take their places. 
  • Not all CVS locations participate in these beauty clearance sales, but the majority of them do (some stores in high-traffic tourist areas and college towns do not participate). Also, not all stores may have the exact same items on clearance (in past years, certain items that many of you saw on clearance at your stores never went on clearance in the system in other regions). So it's VERY important to scan before you buy!
  • If you don't have a CVS in your area, not to fear! Many of these items will no doubt be spotted on clearance at your local Walgreens, Rite Aid, Target, Ulta and other retailers (if they're not already clearance at other retailers, they probably will be soon). So you can use this list as a guide to help you hunt for things at other retailers too!

    4. I don't know what the deal is with the stores near me, they are the last to get any new products talking about cosmetics stuff. Poor Mgt? can't be bothered to label the items, don't care????
      I get 99% of my DStore stuff at Harmon

    5. I live in North Jersey and occasionally find things on sale at CVS. The thing is they're never marked! But def agree, Harmon is my main spot for drugstore items

    8. Hey ladies. I live in North Jersey as well, and when G posts these master lists I think it's fun to go on a hunt. Most CVS here do not participate - so if anyone has an idea why, please let a girl know ! However, I have found three that usually do. One is in Garfield, one is in North Bergen, and one is in Fort Lee. Usually nothing is tagged, so as G has mentioned in the past, it's like a private sale. Happy hunting and I hope this helps!

      Delete
    9. omg i live near north bergen/fort lee. will check the cvs there!

    10. Becca: I live over the bridge so I pass tons of CVS's in my travels! Lol and of course they all get different things at different times!

  6. My husband is a supervisor at the 24 hour CVS here in Mankato, Minnesota...He just told me great sales in the Beauty Dept. should be hitting all CVS stores SOON because the company resets the the whole Cosmetics area in January...For those of you who use an Extra Bucks Card at CVS, don't forget to look carefully at your receipts for cosmetic and beauty coupons...The semi-annual sale has not even started here yet...It will in a few weeks...

    1. Please see the very first bullet point in my FAQS above (the parts in bold and all caps). Hopefully you're scanning the items on this list! If they're not coming up on clearance in the system, then yes, your stores may not be participating.

      Delete
    2. YAY!!!
      Fund a store in Philly that participates! It's on 3rd and Market, if any Philly girls are reading this

  41. Do the beauty stores participate? Almost all the CVS stores around me are the beauty ones and I've check and scanned the items listed and not one has come up on clearance. I know not all stores participate, but just wanted to know if it was specific to these types of locations. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete

  43. I took a second trip on one of the CVS' that participated in this sale event... When I went back to get more of the sales, all of the physicians formula, Revlon and rimmel lip lacquers were 90% off! Some had the stickers that said 50-75% off but when I went to the cashier, it was more than that! I paid $1.45 at the most for each and the lip product from rimmel came out to just 58cents a piece! On my receipt it said I saved 90%!
