Spotted: New Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Airbrushed Pressed Powders and Correcting Bronzers

Great news for Physicians Formula fans! CVS seems like THE place to be right now to find all the newest goodies from PF. That's where the new eyeshadow palettes and liner trios have surfaced, as well as the new Happy Booster lipsticks, bronzers and blushes, the new Kohl Kajal liners.and the new Organic Wear Lash Boosting Mascara.

And today I have even more new PF products to share with you! A huge thanks to reader Julie, who spotted the new Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Airbrushed Pressed Powders and Correcting Bronzers at her local CVS the other day and was nice enough to share:

A big thanks to reader @jgriffinrn for this one! Jennifer spotted a new L'Oreal Color Riche nail color display at the drugstore recently and was kind enough to share:

As you can see, the colors are broken up into categories such as "Trendsetter", "Iconic Muse", "Femme Fatale" and "Hopeless Romantic". I spy some very pretty shades here! These appear to be new core collection shades, but I'm hoping one of you can confirm that.

Thanks SO much, Jennifer, for the fantastic scoop and pic!

Have you spotted this new L'Oreal display in your area yet? If so, have you purchased any of these new colors? I'd love to hear from you!

Classic Drugstore Beauty Products Revisited: Chapstick Classic Original Lip Balm


Last month I started a new series here at Nouveau Cheap where I'll be revisiting drugstore beauty products that are considered to be "classics". I think it's fun to revisit these types of products to see how they compare to newer products, and maybe even find some old new favorites along the way!

To see the first part of this series featuring Noxzema Deep Cleansing Cream, click here.

Today I'd like to revisit what was probably the first lip balm I ever used, Classic Chapstick:

 Chapstick Classic Original Lip Balm SPF4
(retail: around $1.50)

Walgreens 4-day-only sale (now through 12/24)


Walgreens shoppers: I apologize for missing this in my Weekly Drugstore Makeup Sales post, but there's a special 4-day-only sale at Walgreens that started yesterday (12/21) and goes through Christmas Eve (12/24).

Here are the beauty-related highlights:

BOGOFREE: 
InStyle Impressions of Designer Frangrances
Gillette Fusion ProSeries Skin Care

50% off: 
Remington Ionic Styler or Dryer (1850 watts) and Ceramic Straightener (1 inch)

Nivea for Men After Shave Balm: $6.99 with $4 Register Rewards
Caress Body Wash 2/$6

in-ad coupon: Walgreens brand lotions (2.5 oz) $0.79 each

Also, I have a question for my fellow tart lovers out there: have you tried the Harmony brand candle tarts sold at Walgreens? If so, how do you like them? Do they have good throw? The Harmony tarts AND tart burners are 33% off now through 12/24 and if any of you love them, I definitely want to pick up a few. You can check them out here if you don't know what I'm talking about. Thanks in advance!

New beauty coupons and deals!


You know the drill: don't hesitate to print these coupons if you want them, because online coupons can go bye-bye at any moment.
  •  There's a $1 Aquaphor coupon over at the Aquaphor Facebook page. This is a great one to use this week since all Aquaphor Healing Ointments are already $2 off at CVS.
  • Click here to print a new $0.75 off Ban Antiperspirant Deodorant coupon. Ban often goes on sale at the drugstores (sometimes for $0.99 each) so hold on to that one and wait for a good deal (I will of course note any future sales in my Weekly Drugstore Makeup Sales post).
IF the sale applies to Color Enhancing products, it will be almost as good as a BOGOFREE! Let's say you buy two $7 products this week. With the BOGO1/2OFF sale your total price is $10.50 for two products, but then if you use that coupon your final price is $7.50 for two products. So that's almost like a BOGOFREE!
OR, you can always hold on to that coupon at wait until next week, since Rite Aid will be having a BOGO1/2OFF sale on John Frieda and it definitely includes the Color Enhancing collection.

Spotted: new Physicians Formula Happy Booster Lipsticks, 2-in-1 Bronzer & Blushes and new Blush shades

I LOVE the Physicians Formula Happy Booster line (you can see my review of one of the blushes here). So when reader Pam let me know that she spotted NEW Happy Booster products, I literally did a little happy dance.

Happy Booster LIPSTICKS? With little hearts on them? I cannot express to you how much these are appealing to the girlie-girl who lives inside of me!

As you can see, there are new 2-in-1 Bronzer & Blushes (left), and two new shades of Blush (right). And below that are the new LIPSTICKS!

Review: L'Oreal Infallible Eye Shadow in Golden Sage

If you've been reading this blog for a while, then you know two things: 1) I've been waiting months for these Infallible Eyeshadows to hit the US (they've been compared to Armani Eyes To Kill shadows) and 2) I'm a sucker for golden-green eyeshadows.

So it was a no-brainer that when I spotted the display for the new L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadows at my local Bed Bath and Beyond, I was going to buy one, and it HAD to be Golden Sage.

Now that I've tested this shadow for a few weeks, I'd love to share my thoughts with you:

Max Factor Momentum Moss (from Dollar Tree)

Max Factor cosmetics made their exit from US drugstores a few years ago, but recently I spotted some of their nail polishes (which I loved very much back in the day) at Dollar Tree. The most captivating shade of all the shades at my Dollar Tree was Momentum Moss (my opinion of course), so I thought I'd show it to you today.

Please note: these polishes come in 2-packs for $1 at Dollar Tree, and they are NOT big-three-free, in case that is a concern for you.

The Wednesday Question


What is your current favorite body wash or bar soap?

Right now I'm really enjoying the Sauve Naturals Creamy Milk & Honey Splash body wash (which I am actually planning on reviewing soon). The scent is delicious, it provides a nice, creamy lather and it's been good to my dry, wintertime skin. What body wash or bar soap have you been reaching for the most lately?
