This is a short one. Just thought I'd show you what I got for about $6 at Walgreens today:
- e.l.f. Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal
- e.l.f. Luscious Liquid Lipstick in Pink Lemonade
- Milani Baked Blush in Corallina
All of these things were 50% off. Not a huge deal for the e.l.f. shit, since you can get it for that price regularly on their website, but I thought what the hell. I want to compare that Shimmering Facial Whip to Benefit High Beam, since it's supposed to be a dupe. I like the other Liquid Lipstick I have, so we'll see about this one. The Milani blush is a little more exciting. I've heard good things about this one, and $4+ isn't bad.
You can find very useful info about the Walgreens and CVS clearance sales on Nouveau Cheap. I went to CVS too, but didn't find much there except for some of the scented Revlon polishes for about $2.50. But no more nail polish for me. None!
Congratulations! Welcome to the world of unemployment. It ain't fun here. If only nail polish could feed us.
ReplyDeleteI love Corallina. You just have to accept that it's a glittery ho and love it for what it is.
Thanks! I have enough money saved to keep me going for a few months, but someone better hire me before that runs out, dammit.
DeleteI tried Corallina last night and found it really flattering. But it definitely needs a light touch! I'm cool with the glitter in this case.
Congratulations Dr. Cheap!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Dr. Cheap! I forgive your long absence from blogging (I check your blog daily) since you were, you know, getting a PhD. Glad you're back!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sticking around!
DeleteCongrats Dr. Cheap! Please do a full review of the Facial Whip, I've been eyeing that up for ages and trust your reviews.

Thanks! I will definitely review it soon.
DeleteCongrats Dr. Cheap! I still have four years left to get my ph.d. Needless to say I have been halfway employed for the last 14 years studying to be a psychologist! In my next life time I am gonna be a plumber by day and beauty blogger by night!
ReplyDeleteDid you like the Milani blush? I dont know where to get that shit in Canada!!!!
Thanks! That sounds like a good career plan. I do like the blush. It's flattering. You have to accept a lot of glitter, but it's not too obnoxious. I think Liz (above) has found it at Loblaw's/Superstore.
DeleteThat e.l.f. Shimmering Facial Whip is the bomb diggity. Love it! Stumbled upon your blog while looking for reviews for Jordana's Best Lash Extreme. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try it out soon!
