The Weekly Drugstore Makeup Sales

It's that time again, my lovelies! For a complete list of all the makeup sales going on this week at the drugstores, hop on over to Make-Up on the Cheap. 

While compiling my picks for best drugstore deals of the week, which you can see here, I was stunned and amazed that, for perhaps the 4th week in a row, the drugstore beauty sales are excellent! We had a dry spell there for a while, but these deals are certainly making up for it. 

Here are the highlights!

At CVS:

• $7 Extra Bucks with any Physicians Formula purchase this week. Whoo hoo! A great time for me to stock up on my newest holy grail mascara, which is $9.99. With this deal, I'll get it for just $2.99! This deal is even better if you can spot any of those peelie coupons or try-me-free rebates which tend to be on the packaging of the new PF products.

• Both Rimmel and Maybelline cosmetics have a good deal this week: spend $10 and you'll get $3 Extra Bucks. If you've been holding on to any Rimmel and Maybelline coupons, now's a nice time to use them.

• If you purchase a Neutrogena Naturals cleanser, scrub or bar, you'll get a lip balm FREE. As you all know, I've recently reviewed the Purifying Cleanser and Lip Balm, and I love them both. If you've been thinking about trying some of these products, this is a nice little freebie.

• On the haircare front, Marc Anthony, Salon Grafix and Samy are all BOGOFREE this week. All three brands have some interesting new products that they've debuted recently (search my blog for details) so this would be a nice time to try them.

At RITE AID:

• All Revlon cosmetics and implements are 40% off AND if you spend $10 you'll get $4 +UP Rewards. Sweet! This offer includes the Crazy Shine Nail Buffer as well.

• Almay eye cosmetics are 40% off

• CoverGirl Natureluxe and Lip Perfection products are 30% off

At WALGREENS:

• All Rimmel cosmetics are 50% off this week. Yes! There have  been lots of Rimmel coupons in the newspaper lately, and there's also a PRINTABLE $1 OFF RIMMEL COUPON HERE that you can use in conjunction with this sale.

ATTENTION SALLY HANSEN FANS:

At both Walgreens and CVS this week, ALL Sally Hansen products (nail strips, polishes, lip products, tools, etc.) are BOGO1/2OFF. You know I'm never too jazzed about BOGO1/2OFF sales, but when there's coupons involved, the savings really improve. And BOY are there coupons right now--and printable coupons to boot! RedPlum released a slew of SH coupons so click these links to print them while they're still up (i.e. HURRY!): $2 off Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips,  $0.50 off Sally Hansen Nail Polish, $1 off Sally Hansen Hand or Foot Cream, $1 off Sally Hansen Nail Treatment, $1 off Sally Hansen Lip Product, $1 off Sally Hansen Beauty Tool, The scenarios for awesome savings are endless with these coupons when you factor in the BOGO1/2OFF. I think I might finally try one of those cool-looking new treatments.

If you're confused about how these coupons work with a BOGO1/2OFF sale, here's a quick scenario. Let's say you wanted to buy one of those new Sally Hansen lip treatments and a bottle of Complete Salon Manicure polish. For the purpose of this scenario, let's say the lip treatment is $5 and the polish is $8. So with the BOGO1/2OFF, your retail price for both items goes down from $13 to $10.50. THEN, you can use the $1 lip product coupon above, and ALSO the $0.50 nail polish coupon above. So THAT brings your total retail price for both items down to $9. Which is almost like getting the lip treatment for free.

Don't forget to check out my picks for the best deals of the week for a complete list of everything not covered in this post.

Happy shopping, and if you know of any other great coupons we can pair with any of the sales this week at the drugstores, please leave a comment and share your scoop with us!
