The Weekly Drugstore Makeup Sales (11/27 - 12/3)

For a listing of the beauty-related sales going on this week at Ulta, Target and Kmart (including special holiday circulars), click here.

Can you believe it's going to be DECEMBER on Thursday? I feel like I was just celebrating my big milestone b-day a few months ago and here I am ready for my next b-day (on the 13th, if you're curious).  Where in the heck did 2011 go??

Confession: I'm getting a little tired of blogging about Black Friday and Cyber Monday. My in-box has been flooded with sale notices for the past month now, and every day I'm scouring the internet to make sure I'm not letting any fantastic sales slip through the cracks. It's a lot to keep track of and blog about, and I know I'll be letting out a huge sigh of relief on Tuesday morning when this madness is behind us! 

Doing my regular weekly drugstore sales post was actually kind of refreshing this week. Now that we're officially in full-blown holiday season mode, I know that sales alerts are going to come fast and furious but, for now, let's take it slow and focus on what's on sale this week at the drugstores, shall we?

GREAT NEWS for Revlon Lip Butter fans: all three drugstores are running BOGO1/2OFF sales this week (details below).

CVS shoppers: Don't forget that now through 11/30 (Wednesday), all Wet n Wild products with a regular retail price of $0.99 are on sale for $0.69.

Rite Aid shoppers: all cosmetic and implement gift sets are BOGO1/2OFF this week, and the weekly ad includes a photo of the Wet n Wild makeup set (for those who haven't seen this in person yet, it's a soft case that looks to include the same products that were in the last year's WnW Traincase. You can view the ad here).

Walgreens shoppers: FREE Softlips this week: Softlips (Pearl) is $2 with $2 Register Rewards. Also, don't forget to pick up the Walgreens December Coupon Booklet which is in stores now.
