The Wednesday Question


With the 40% off all makeup sale at drugstore.com underway (ends 10/20), I'd love to know about what you've purchased (or are thinking about purchasing).

I haven't even started to plot my order yet (whoops) but I'm hearing from some of you that things are selling out quickly so I better get on that! PS: Thanks to everyone who confirmed that the free shipping for orders of $25+ offer works with the 40% off code. Woot!

  2. I bought Wet n Wild Fergie glitter polish in Flossy Flossy, Maybelline DreamLumi touch concealer in Radiant, some L'Oreal True Match powder, Revlon lip butter in Peach Parfait, and Revlon balm stain in Rendezvous. I kind of wish I had gotten more Fergie polishes though, hah.

  5. I spent way to much time on this promo! I went through everything in the make up category because oddly things that aren't makeup were there. I got several philosophy items which were already 20% off(amazing grace perfume, baby body set, foundation and the present clear makeup) I read a previous comment that there was a GWP for philosophy but I didn't receive it. I got a natural Lavera lipstick and Lustre shines in firefly and scarab. I had to create 2 orders because it wouldn't combine with my previous drugstore dollars. So my first purchase was the giovanni chocolate scrub (which is not available locally - so excited) plus they offered a giovanni travel tea tree GWP.

  9. One of the items I ordered: Yes to Carrots Mint lip butter... they sent an entire box of 6! I only ordered 1, so it was definitely a nice treat and surprise!

  10. Nothing yet because I can't stop getting the damn "this offer cannot be combined with other offers" message when I try to put the code in! I've tried using a different browser, logging out and logging back in, deleting my cart and logging out and starting over... I don't know what else to do. =( Email them? Phone them?

    1. You probably need to clear your cache. I can't remember how to do it manually, but you can download ccleaner for free, which will do it for you. (if you want to keep saved passwords and/or autofill, you have to uncheck those options on the menu)

    2. Do you already have drugstore dollars credit? I had to use that promotion first then created a separated order for the makeup40.

      Delete
    3. You can call them and if you're logged into an account then they can access your cart and help you out. =)

    4. I had to logout, clear my browser cookies, and then create a new account with a different email address. MAKEUP40 can't be combined with other offers, and sometimes you already have an offer attached to your account...doesn't seem to be a way to remove an existing offer. Also, they only want the code to be used once per household. It's tied to email account, so I was able to place a second order using a different email...when I lost the willpower to resist ordering more goodies :P

  11. Two tubes of Rimmel Lash Accelerator mascara, Sally Hansen Cuticle remover and some Swisspers (I know--so boring!).

    ReplyDelete
  12. Sad to say kinda hoping I do not get paid before it ends.. I really do not need any more makeup.. keep telling myself that anyway. It's just so darn hard to resist when it is almost half price. The one thing that I am considering is the Hard Candy glamoflauge concealer (mostly want the pencil that comes with it, but willing to give the concealer a shot).. but I don't think they carry it.

  13. was the ebates 12% cash back a special promotion that expired? i just joined ebates and the cashback for drugstore.com & beauty.com are each 6%.

    1. eBates changes rates for different promos. Sometimes they focus on beauty and sometimes housewares or fashion. I always try to time my order with higher rates but it's not happening for this one.

  14. I took advantage of the philosophy sale and gwp. Three gift sets, a bottle and the free skin care mini set for about $27 shipped saving me about $60. I also got an Opi and the two sh lustre shine colors unavailable in store. What a great deal!

    ReplyDelete
  15. L'oreal voluminous mascara and eyeliner plus their colour balms!!!! And I threw in some real techniques brushes and neutrogena hydrating eye makeup removing lotion.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Real techniques brush sets! The single brushes aren't included in the sale but the sets are, makes them under $11!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I missed out on the Philosophy GWP but after they sold out they discounted full price to 20% off, which isn't bad stacked w/ 40%. I got two philosophy sets 'falling in love' and 'amazing grace', and the real techniques travel brushes. The site's really confusing- if you have a specific brand you're looking at, make sure the item you want is under the 'makeup' section by using the filters on the sidebar. My credit card is very sad after the UD sale, this sale and the Sephora sale coming up. I don't regret it though. Thanks G!

    1. You were able to get the makeup40 to work for the real techniques brushes? The promo wouldn't work in my cart for the brushes (I suppose beauty tools doesn't count as makeup) so I nixed it off. LOL! I soooo agree with you about my credit card being sad! At least 40% off makes this a great deal! =D Here is what I got:

      -Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Cherry Blossom (Shanghai collection)
      -L'oreal Project Runway Blush in Muse
      -Milani Lip Flash Gloss Pencil in Photoflash
      -Milani Lipstick in Red Velvet
      -Physicians Formula Healthy Wear Powder Foundation SPF 50 (trying out bc of your rec G!)
      -Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Boosting Eyeliner in ultra black
      -Revlon Colorburst Lipbutter in Lollipop (my only re-purchase!)

    2. No kidding! I'm actually skipping this Drugstore.com sale so that I can buy a few things with the Sephora F&F sale.

    3. I tried to buy the Real Tech. brushes and the code would not apply and I called in and they told me that the brushes were considered tools not makeup.

  18. I got my stuff in the mail today this is what I got
    elf blush in peachy keen

    maybelline lash discovery mascara
    revlon lipbutter in pink truffle (my favorite YLBB shade)

  19. I kept having stuff disappear from my cart to the point where I gave up, but I'm loving reading everyone else's scores!

  20. I basically just got everything that I've been wanting to try but haven't brought myself to try. Rimmel Stay Matte powder and Black Radiance primer are up there. And lots of nail polish. A couple of top coats. A base coat. An OPI polish. And a Sally Hansen HD polish.

    I considered getting Revlon Lip Butters but considering how quickly they get used up (they feel nice but don't last at all...) I decided not to spend any more money on the Lip Butters. Still love the one I have though. :/

  27. At first, I was in a rush to make my order because I was worried about items selling, but then I took my time to look thru more brands on drugstore.com to see what else I might want. xD

    Anyway, I had a list of older items I wanted, including the hard-to-find Milani top and base coats!
