Spotted: New Revlon ColorStay 16-Hour Eyeshadow Quads and Liners

If you caught my posts from yesterday, then you know that there are lots of new products hitting the drugstores from all the major brands right now, and today I'd like to show you some new Revlon ColorStay products!

Reader LMC1971 actually spotted this display in CANADA however. as you will see below, it's also been spotted in the US (although I can't guarantee the display will look exactly like the following photo of course, since they sometimes change things around):

Breaking Beauty News: L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadows in the US!

If you caught my post from back in June about the L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadows that were released earlier this year in Canada and Europe (and I think Asia as well), then you know I was seething with jealousy that we in the US did not get them. They're supposedly nice dupes for Armani Eyes To Kill shadows (click here for links to reviews and comparisons), and boy did I want some. Badly.

Well guess what? My lovely reader Ronda just spotted them at her Bed Bath & Beyond. In the US! Can you see me doing the happy dance through your computer screen right now? No? Well it sort of looks like a cross between the cabbage patch and the running man.

Nouveau Cheap readers have spoken: your favorite overall drugstore brand is...

As always, last month's reader's poll was open for one month and this time around we received over 1,110 votes (thanks to all who voted!). The results are now in and your favorite drugstore beauty brands are as follows:


First Place
Wet n Wild
(551 votes)

Second Place
Revlon
(446 votes)

Third place
NYX
(304 votes)

Honorable Mentions:

Maybelline
(277 votes)

e.l.f.
(275 votes)

L'Oreal
(159 votes)

Wet n Wild is the clear winner, with Revlon coming in second followed by NYX in third place. Are you surprised with the results? Did your favorite brand make the cut? I'd love to hear from you either way!

And as always, if your vote went to "other", please chime in and let us know what brand you would have voted for if it had been an option in this poll.

I want to thank each of you for taking the time to vote in the November poll--I will mention these results in my annual Cheapie Awards post at the end of the year, along with the results of all the other polls that were conducted in 2011. I think it will be fun to do a round-up and take a look back at YOUR favorites this year.

Speaking of favorites, the most important poll of the year (for this blog) is now up: see right-hand sidebar. 

In this post from a few weeks ago, I asked you to name your favorite new product of 2011, and I narrowed down the list based on your feedback. So ALL of the choices in this poll are there because of YOU (I did not determine the choices myself) and the winner will be crowned Reader's Choice for Best New Drugstore Product of 2011 in my annual Cheapie Awards. This category is obviously 100% dependent on you, so please, please take a second to vote, and I thank you in advance!
