Sneak peeks, sales, clearance sightings and more...

Here's a quick little post with some info you might find helpful:

• Want a sneak-peek at the Essence Cosmetics Spring/Summer 2014 collections? Click right here (spoiler: a new matte face primer, nude eyeshadow palettes and much more are coming soon).

• At CVS, the holiday cosmetic gift sets are now marked down to 90% off. Reader @jaythecosmo on Instagram found the Sally Hansen Ombre sets, etc. at her CVS for $0.99 each (originally $9.99). If your CVS still has these sets, take them to the red scanner box and check the price before you buy!

• ASOS currently has some products from Illamasqua, Paul & Joe, Pop Beauty, Pixi and other beauty brands on clearance here. You get everyday free shipping with no minimum order required AND you can enter code JAN10 for an additional 10% off your order!

• Confirmed: The L'Oreal Gold Dust polishes are permanent. They were spotted by Lois (@formeitworks) in the permanent L'Oreal display at Walmart this week.

• Benefit's having a big clearance sale right now and free shipping on any order, no minimum purchase required with code SALE2014. (Thanks to reader Susie Batoncoach for the head-up about that one!)

• And last but not least, all of the new-for-2014 products from NYX are now available on the NYX website, including the new Hot Singles Eyeshadow line:

NEW NYX Hot Singles Eyeshadows

(retail: $4.50 each)

These new eyeshadows come in a whopping 88 shades, which would explain why so many of the older eyeshadow singles were on clearance at various retailers a while back. The shade above is Club Crawl, which is described as a "deep taupe with gold pearl."  I think I kind of need it...
