The return of the CVS Beauty Clearance Sale?


Could it be?? Is the semi-annual CVS Beauty Clearance Sale BACK ON? I've been covering these sales for years now, and I've been feeling like this one's overdue since most other retailers have been clearancing the newly-discontinued products for a few weeks now (Walgreens, Rite Aid, Target, etc.).

The last CVS Beauty Clearance Sale was at the beginning of last December--doesn't it feel like that was ages ago?? Well, today reader sincerelynicolekayla  left the following comment on the You Tell Me page:

Today at CVS, a worker was in the process of putting the 50% and 75% off stickers on the cosmetics. I noticed that several Sally Hansen crackle polishes were on 50% off clearance along with the entire stock of Orly polishes. Certain Spolied polishes were 75% off along with select Rimmel products (their dark purple Kate Moss lipstick and "black" lip gloss along with the Glam Eyes HD in 002 English Oak). Several products from Covergirl were 50% (certain darker shades of foundations, the LashBlast LUXE mascara, the color coustum quads, the mascara in the yellow, skinny tube, the NatureLuxe lip balms). More will probably be on clearance since the worker was only about half way down the beauty department marking products.

So get out there and see what you can find, Nouvettes! Once I get more info, I'll start a Master List post as usual.

 Thanks so much, sincerelynicolekayla, for the very first heads-up about this, and for the details about what you spotted on clearance!

    Black lip gloss?? G or anyone else, please inform me, could you? I'm a fiend for unusual lip colors! A sale just means I need to snatch it up!

      It's from the Stay Glossy line with I find really comfortable. It's not completely opaque, so it works well with other dark lipsticks underneath it. I only purged it because I didn't reach for it much.

      There's a black gloss in the Rimmel Stay Glossy lipgloss range called Black Diva. This line debuted at the beginning of 2012 and I reviewed the fuchsia shade here:

      Leticia of Cosmetics Aficionado did a great review of Black Diva here:

    On sunday, I saw a small bin of clearance items (just a few random items), but several nail polish colors from maybelline were in there.

    Oh, no! Just when I was trying to be good and cut back on the cosmetic buying! It doesn't count when it's 75 percent off, right? It's practically free! :)

    My CVS didn't have a clearance sale in December :(. (I'm on the east coast-NYC.) I hope they do this time around! Does anyone know why their clearance sales can be regional and not nationwide?

      I'm in NYC and have realized that the CVS sale starts much later here and it seems the associates do not put stickers on the merchandise at all the locations. If you follow G's posts you can scan items at the red box and find out if they are clearanced at that location

    Let the games begin! :) I am curious to see if the Summer sale is as inconsistent as the Winter sale was among nearby stores in the same city. Fortunately, with the aid of your readers and their helpful comments, I was able to find all of the items I was looking for by visiting multiple locations in the DFW area. I will be sure to report back with my local findings.

      I stopped in CVS earlier tonight not really expecting to find anything but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw green 75% off stickers on several Revlon, Rimmel and Almay products. Although the stickers were present, none of the items rang up at the clearance price (the cashier had to manually enter all of the prices).

      Here are the items I bought tonight at 75% off:

      Almay Wake Up eyeshadow + primer (Revive)
      Revlon Superlustrous Lip Gloss (Pink Whisper)
      Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro Nail Enamel (Posh Pink, Wild Orchid, French White Nail Tip Liner)
      Rimmel Max VolumeFlash Mascara (Black)
      Rimmel Max BoldCurves Mascara (Black)
      Rimmel Stay Glossy Lipgloss (Fuchsia Fever, Immortal Charm, Black Diva)
      Essence of Beauty Brush Cleaner

      I'll hit up another nearby CVS tomorrow to find some more deals.

      Went to a second CVS today and experienced the opposite results as my last visit - not a clearance sticker in sight but the discounted prices appeared at the scanner/register. BONUS: The red box gave me a $4 off your cosmetics purchase of $12 or more (excludes nail) coupon. But without the stickers or a list yet and not being able to include polishes, I couldn't find $12 worth of items yet but here is what I picked up today for 75% off:

      Revlon Nearly Naked Liquid Makeup (Chestnut) (this surprised me because this is a NEW product but it appeared to only be darker colors on clearance)
      Revlon SuperLustrous Lipgloss (Pearl Plum, Coral Reef)
      Rimmel GlamEyes HD Quad Eye Shadow (English Oak)

    Didn't see any stickers at my CVS, but I stopped in during my lunch break and by marching over to the red machine with a handful of products, found the following were 75% off:
    Revlon Super Lustrous lipgloss in Pink Whisper
    Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick in Teak Rose and Spicy Cinnamon
