omg tha would be awesome!! hehe i would buy Essie's Resort collection
ReplyDeleteTarte Aqualillies!
ReplyDeleteThe question was for drugstore only (the high-end side of Ulta doesn't count!). :)
DeleteI'd have to save it. I'm up-to-date on my drugstore purchases other than Sinful Shine which isn't here yet...and not at my favorite drugstore anyway.
ReplyDeleteMabelline Color Tattoos. Or the Sinful colors new greens that look like gel nail polish.
ReplyDeleteRight this moment: the LE Maybelline Color Tattoos! After your review, I can't wait to find these! I think $50 would cover it ;)
ReplyDeleteI have some beauty products on my drugstore wishlist that have stayed on my wishlist since the beginning of time. It's kind of hard to explain. For example, I've wanted the Milani baked blush in luminoso for about a year, but I always hold off on buying it because I have sooo many shimmery golden peach blushes. And I'm trying to hunt down the L'Oreal Versailles collection as well as all of the Maybelline summer collection displays.
ReplyDeleteEye tattoos or all the Sinful Shine's greens.
ReplyDeleteMaybelline duochrome color tattoos
ReplyDeleteAll the gorgeous new summery blues from Maybelline's Color Show line!! They are GORGEOUS!! :D
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Maybelline new color tattoos, but not all of them. I can't think of other things right now, but probably something else lip product related ;)
ReplyDeleteI would get some Milani. I haven't dipped my toe in that pool yet.
ReplyDeleteThe Maybelline color tattoos! I've never picked any up, but I'm loving them to pieces. I want a few from the core line and all of the limited editions!
ReplyDelete^_^;; I already buy too much nail polish, but ugh now eyeshadow too?!
This is so relevant to me. I'd get a bunch of things.
ReplyDelete1.) Black Radiance's Complexion Perfection Shine Control Primer
2.) L'Oreal's True Match Foundation and Powder
3.) A Bunch of Covergirl Queen's Gloss Balms, and Lipsticks
4.) Black Radiance blushes
5.) The New Covergirl smoochies lipbalm
6.) New Eco Tools Brushes
7.) Some Of Black Opal's New Even True Makeup
8.) Jordana LipLiners
I realize it's highly unlikely... but if you live in New England and have an Ocean State Job Lot nearby, you can get a box of 12 Jordana Lip Liners for $3 or 4.
DeleteSince I already have all the maybelline limited edition color tattoos, I would buy the limited edition loreal shadows and some glosses if I had enough :)
ReplyDeleteI can never find anything limited edition at my drugstores but I would probably go for revlon lip butters and baby lips :)Oh and how can I forget my addiction to Mascaras haha I would get all the ones I dont have!
ReplyDeleteEvery limited edition Wet 'n Wild Color Icon 8 shadow palette. I have yet to spot any in my area.
ReplyDeleteI would probably spend most if not all of it on a home teeth whitening kit by the brand Lustre (I think that's the name...red package w the Rocky Horror-esque crimson lipstick wearing smile.) Not that my teeth are badly stained, but after having them whitened at the dentist a few months ago, I'm still iso that "million dollar smile"...sadly that is probably what it would cost to reach that goal, as veneers are the only way to really achieve that.
ReplyDeleteEssie Nail Polish, since I've never tried it and really want to, and Milani Color Statement Lipstick. I'd also feel better trying a foundation like L'Oreal True Match, because if it were the wrong shade, as per usual, I wouldn't be wasting money outside the card! x
ReplyDeleteNot sure you're aware, but most drugstores (CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens) all have great return policies on opened cosmetics etc. Just make sure you have your recipt, if not they usually still accept the return for a store credit if you show a valid pic id. :)
DeleteThe other two LE infallibles I don't have.. and the rest in LE color tattoos.
ReplyDeleteMy first choice would be the two 8-pan Wet 'N Wild summer collections! And the great deal with WnW is that I would still have about $40 left! Perhaps I'd try some ecotools brushes? Or real techniques brushes (does that count?) Or, I'm on a search for new favorite mascara so maybe I would pick up something new in that category?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely I would get the maybelline color tattoo limited edition and revlon chroma chameleon polishes.
ReplyDeleteFor sure the very first thing in my basket would be the LE Spring Wet n Wild Palettes!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd have to save it. I've gotten most of what I wanted from LE stuff this spring. Had I seen this before I'd gone out today I would have said the last two Color Tattoos (Precious Pearl and Blue Paradise) and the Milani Shadow Eyez pencils, but I was able to get all of those today when I stopped at Walgreens. So I don't know what I'm lemming at the moment!
ReplyDeleteCovergirl 3-in-1 foundation and concealer balm, Milani liquid eye pencil in purple, Rimmel ScandalEyes liners in black and brown, and some kind of white nail polish.
ReplyDelete6 bottles of Essie nail polish!
ReplyDeleteSally Hqnsen Hard as Wraps
ReplyDeleteColor tattoos, new Revlon lip butters, the Olio (sp) hair color, and since in my dreams my Wags would carry Essence...Id check out a few e/s too. Obviously Id also have coupons!
ReplyDeleteCovergirl 3-in1 foundation, Milani shadow pencils, revlon colorstay foundation, Milani lipstick in nude creme, and jesses girl eyeliner!
ReplyDeleteI would get the Milani Flamingo Pose lipstick! my mom got it and im so envious of it LOL i'd also get some new blushes bc i have like 1 i think. lol and some bronzers. and some of the maybelline eyeshadow pallets with the arrow shaped pans! lol idk what they're called. heck, i think i've done went over $50 LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh my lord... I would spend most of it on skincare, probably. Pricey things from the Salma Hayek Nuance line but that would limit me to CVS. That or a teeth-whitening system, but I'm not sure if that counts as beauty?
ReplyDeleteThe w n w limited edition palette, revlon photo ready foundation, Loreal beauty tubes mascara, Milani eye primer, Loreal lip glosses that r the YSL dupes.
ReplyDeleteI would buy those new Sinful polishes. I am *patiently* waiting for Walgreens to get them. (ok, not so patient, but I can pretend :P )
ReplyDeleteI'd get a couple of things from the Milani line. I've been wanting to try the blushes and those sparkly eye shadow singles they have. Also, I'd get the Almay color adjusting mousse foundation in a darker color than the one I have because I'm tan. This foundation is awesome. Of course I'd have coupons and there would be a sale plus I'd have extra bucks and stack them all hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteL'oreal Perfume Id e/s, Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya & some Gud products, I have been meaning to try these and haven't yet.
ReplyDeleteI'd get three more of those Julie G. Frosted Gumdrop nail polishes (I have three already...), a couple of those Milani textured nail polishes. There's a Revlon duochrome polish that's a deep blue, which I'd love ... For splurging's sake, I'd love to try a couple of those Revlon Baby Sticks, though I hear they're not that pigmented. (But I'm going to pretend they're 40 percent off and I have a coupon...)
ReplyDeleteIf walmart would count I would buy all of the hard candy candy sprinkles nail polish collection! I'm so not over milky glitters lol :) I'd also buy shake your $$$ maker by essie...it would look good on my toes! And I'm sure I could find some sinful colors I want :p
ReplyDeleteAll of the limited edition Milani shadow pencils! OOOOooooo Neutral colors, they'd get so much use!
ReplyDeleteHave to be the physicians formula BB powder and loreal eyeshadow.
ReplyDeleteI would get it at CVS to take advantage of the ECBs and Beauty bucks they offer, so it would be like stitching out the $50 gift card. I'd get the WnW Spring Forward LE, try out a color tattoo or 2, get the rest of the Milani lipsticks that I want and do not own. Pick up some OPI by Nicole, stock up on some more Seche Vite base coats, fast dry and Nail Tek. I think I went over my $50 limit.
ReplyDeleteSome of the new Milani Eye Liners and Essie. Lots of Essie!
ReplyDeletePrestige Total intensity eyeshadows in Bewitched.It's such a shame I don't live in the U.S. I can't find this eyeshadow neither europe nor to be shipped in Greece. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteMilani baked lush in Luminoso and Red Vino (for the winter), Milani Shadow Eyez pencils in some of the new lighter colors, WnW LE 8-pan (the non-neutral one), Physician's Formula eye kohls, refill of my Physician's Formula Talc-free Mineral Face Powder...I could go on and on but I probay hit $50 already! ;)
