The Weekly Drugstore Makeup Sales 7/31 - 8/6 (Special Message for New Readers)

Affiliate Links

A special note for new readers: if this is your first time reading my weekly sale wrap-up, I post this information once a week on my blog (usually on Sundays but sometimes I'm late and it goes up on Monday). You can access this post at any time throughout the week by clicking the ESSENTIAL LINKS tab on the main menu bar at the top of this blog. From there you'll see a drop-down where you can click "Weekly Drugstore Sales".

I do my best to bring you what I perceive to be the hottest beauty deals of the week at Ulta, CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens. You will find here many highlights that I want to bring to your attention, but I always include links to each retailer's weekly ads so that you can view ALL sales for yourself. I've been writing these wrap-ups every week since 2009 and I have developed a sense for what appeals most to my readers when it comes to sales and deals. As such, I ask you to read through these listings carefully because I cover a lot of ground and I do not want you to miss out on a deal. This post isn't for skimmers--it's for hardcore beauty junkies! If you skim, you may miss. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, and I hope this post helps you with planning out your beauty purchases!
