Beauty clearance sales at Rite Aid and Walgreens

Let's start with Rite Aid:

When I receive a heads-up about clearance items at Rite Aid, I'm always hesitant to post about them here. Why, you ask? Well, not all Rite Aids are created equal, and sometimes one location can put a massive amount of products on clearance while, at another location, you won't find a single item on clearance.

So whenever I post about a Rite Aid clearance, I wait until SEVERAL readers have confirmed the information. If I hear the same thing from several of you, then I'll definitely share that info here. Otherwise, I feel like I'm getting peoples' hopes up and sending you on a wild goose chase.

Reader Dana of Good Red Herring was nice enough to share a pic of the 75% off Colour Riche lipsticks, and I have received several comments/tweets/etc. from other readers who have spotted the same clearance at THEIR locations:

And there are OTHER products that have been confirmed to be on clearance for 75% off at Rite Aid in the past week:

Reader Amy B. left this comment on the You Tell Me page:

Rite Aid has a bunch of cosmetics on clearance right now for 75% off. This was as of today in San Jose, CA. Markdowns were on select Revlon, CoverGirl and L'Oreal products. I got two Revlon Colorburst lipglosses (Rosegold and Papaya) for $1.87 each! Gold Dust and Sienna Sparkle were also on clearance. Other items I saw marked 75% off: a Revlon foundation (one of the older ones), Revlon eye shadow singles, Revlon Moon Drops lipsticks, CoverGirl eye shadow singles as low as $.87, a CoverGirl lipstick (can't remember which one), a few different L'Oreal mascaras, and L'Oreal Colour Riche lipstick (select shades). It would be worthwhile to ask for a price check even if your store doesn't have the 75% off tags out, because $1.87 is an amazing deal on those Revlon lipglosses.

piggy-backing off of Amy B.'s comment - 75% off of some Revlon products at Rite Aid. including moon drops lipsticks in 'mirrored mauve', 'sugar poppy' and 'heather frost' (among a few others). these are high quality lippies - my favorite is bamboo bronze - but it isn't on sale :|

Aveeno Smart Essentials Cleanser $3.99

W Hydrating Cleanser $5.29 (this is the CeraVe dupe)

I forgot to include the price for Revlon Luxurious Colors Smokey Crayon which is $2.49.


There's also a $5 Dermasilk coupon in the 5/6 Redplum. I got a price check on the two Dermasilk products mentioned above, but no additional amount came off at the register, so they are $9.99 before the $5 coupon.

Thanks SO much, Annette, for the detailed info on these clearance sales. I know that this is going to help so many of us!

PS: Just a reminder that if don't check the You Tell Me page (link located on the top menu bar) every time you visit my blog, you could be missing out on great info like this. I don't always get the chance to post about deals submitted by readers, so sometimes you'll only see this info in the comments on the You Tell Me page!
