CVS Beauty Sale - A closer look

After reading about the annual Beauty sale at CVS on Nouveau Cheap and Diva Makeup Queen I decided to investigate. (Even though I'm battling a cold!)

My CVS had a well stocked and organized display of the popular L'oreal HiP shadow Duos so I snapped a pic because I am a more visual person. I counted a total of 12 shades that are on sale at 75% off retail price. Your retail price may vary by location but mine was $8.29. After 75% off it came to $2.07. After my $2 coupon I snipped from an old paper it came to $0.07 tada! I swear I never pay more than $2 for these babies! Cut the coupons!!

Review of Neutrogena MoistureShine in Just Whipser

Neutrogena MoistureShine Lipstick with SPF20
in Just Whisper 210 [buy here]

It's a very pretty nude pink that I've read is a dupe for Mac's Blankity. I love this! I want to try more shades! It's perfect on it's own or paired with a gloss. You don't really need a gloss though since this gives a nice creamy finish.

Pros:

• nice range of colors
• smooth
• moisturizing
• spf20

Cons:

• $9 (expensive for drugstore)
• cheap packaging
• only available in the us?

I highly recommend this lipstick! Have you tried Neutrogena makeup? A lipstick this awesome makes me want to put down the $25+ lipsticks and look into more shades from them!

What is everyone doing for Halloween? I'm not going to any parties (not cool enough) but I will be handing out candy. I actually like doing it! It's fun to see the mini Princesses and Spidermen. I got a bunch of glow sticks for free from CVS after coupon so I think the kids will LOVE that! I'm not going to BE anything, but I may put on dramatic makeup just for fun. I will however be sporting my Día de los Muertos Necklace!

Edward Cream, yes really!

What is Edward Cream you ask? My cute sister came up with it. So months ago I gave her some moisturizer I forgot about and didn't need anymore. (it must be good to get loads of free stuff from your big sis) Presenting Neutrogena Illuminating Whip Moisturizer. I don't think they sell this anymore.

I was looking at her collection and noticed that she was using the moisturizer I gave her... "you still use that?" I asked. "Yeah, it's my Edward cream!" she replied. "Yeah, it makes your face sparkle like Edwards!" she added. I forgot how sparkly the moisturizer was until I poked it and smeared it on my hand. And, by golly I realized that it IS Edward cream! It is so friggin ILLUMINATING that I think that's why I stopped using it! I think I originally bought this to help my dry skin. Once my skin stopped being so dry I just stopped using it.

So, I thought of something weird... if you find this stuff.. put it on your boyfriend, and he'll be your Edward vampire for the day (or night)!
