Tag: Walgreen’s
Yup, 5 More…
I couldn’t resist the 99 cent Sinful Colors sale, but I controlled myself and only grabbed 5.
I got “Purple Haze” (the only one that caught my eye from the new “Oh Snap!” Collection), “Let’s Talk” (upon the highest recommendation), “Starfish” (for the name alone); “Gold Medal”, and “Rich in Heart”. Unfortunately, the Walgreen’s by my work didn’t have the “Truly, Madly, Sparkly” display – so I see another trip happening before the sale is up.
You…yes, YOU…have until Saturday at Midnight to snag Sinful Colors nail polish for 99 cents at Walgreen’s.
Oh Walgreens, How I Love Thee!
I can’t let a Walgreen’s 99 cent Sinful Colors sale go without stopping in and grabbing a few. I started with Sinful Colors Base Coat, which was NOT on sale. I was conservative – only picking 4 colors: “All About You”, a gold and copper glitter; NEON “The Bright Thing”, because I want my nails to look like highlighters; “Hazed”, a Limited Edition puce demi-matte; and “Pride”, a rainbow glitter.
I also came upon some $1.49 clearance polishes – Sally Hansen Pearl Crush “Clam Digger” and “Rainbow Fish”. I almost bought one at Target this past weekend, on clearance for $2.74 – I’m glad I waited.
I also did some super secret birthday present shopping…shhhhhh!
Sinful Binge
Father, it’s been 5 weeks since my last Sinful Colors 99 cent sale purchase.
I didn’t even know there was a sale this week, until I caught a whiff of it on Instagram. I binged and made trips to 2 different Walgreen’s to fulfill my urges. On my lunch trip, I got Sinful Colors “Baila Baila”, “Copper Pot”, “Keira Blu”, “Otaku Anime”, “Fierce Fiesta”, “Endless Blue”, and “Mamasita”. I also got Sally Hansen Triple Shine in “Sparkling Water” for $1.29. I even had $1 in Balance Rewards.
I made a second stop to look for some red jellies that I looked up online – I got “Go Go Girl” and “Ruby Glisten” – because I totally need more red polish.
I can stop any time. Really.
Sinful Friday
I couldn’t resist a final stop at Walgreen’s on my way home from work Friday evening. What? You know how I am!
I decided I wanted the other two Sinful Colors opalescent top coats to go with “Prized Plume” (blue) – “Flight to See” (purple) and “Sheer Flight” (green).
I also went basic and picked up some black and white for nail art – “Black on Black” and “Snow Me White”.
They didn’t have any good clearance polish – so disappointing.
Nail Polish & Chocolate
Lunchtime shopping at Walgreen’s means two things – nail polish and chocolate.
I’ve been waiting and waiting for Sinful Colors to go on sale for 99 cents – finally! I showed restraint and picked up four – “Zest of Times”, “Prized Plume”, “Social Ladder” and “Star Blast Off”. I also grabbed a clearance Revlon Parfumerie “Italian Leather” for $1.69.
I also came across Lindt Chocolates for half off – Mother’s Day leftovers? Sweet Baby Jesus, these are some of the tastiest chocolates I’ve ever had.
I couldn’t resist trying the two toppers over my current Jenna Hipp “Rose Tart”.
“Prized Plume” is on my middle finger – it is a beautiful iridescent peacock blue. “Zest of Times” is on my ring finger – it adds a glassy glimmer and makes it look like a dupe of “Forget Now”.
Which one do I play with first?
Embers Only
Can my son pick a nail polish, or what?
He really just wanted to go to the grocery store to get free samples, but I stopped at Walgreen’s first. I forced him to hold the basket as I filled it with nail polish. As I was checking out the “Bloomblast” display, he handed me Sinful Colors “Embers Only”. Where in the world did he find it? It wasn’t on the new displays, but I’d never noticed it in the regular display. It’s a reddish/pinkish/red jelly with shimmer, micro-glitter and iridescent hex. Why in the world did my husband say this polish is plain? It’s shiny on it’s own, but I used “HK Girl” to give it a glasslike finish.
I need to lay off the Sinful Colors Base Coat – I woke up with a few severe edge chips this morning. I’m thinking I need something stickier?
99 Cent Haul
Sinful Colors haven’t been on sale for 99 cents since before Xmas! I’ve been jonesing!
But it’s probably a good thing…because all the new displays are out! I got “Happy Ending” (dirty!) and “Shamrockin'” from the St. Patrick’s Day Display, “Love Sprinkles” (it’s never too late for more heart glitter) from the Valentine’s Day Display and “Petal Be the Day” and “Flower Power” from the spring “Bloomblast” Display. Then I turned around and my son handed me “Embers Only”. He’s got a good eye – I have no idea where he found it – I don’t remember seeing that one before.
I wonder if I will be going back later this week?
After Xmas Haul
You know what’s better than Xmas shopping? After Xmas shopping!
On Friday night, we hit Walmart, in search of 75% off beauty sets, as seen on Nouveau Cheap. Although I did spy a few sets from Flower, Hard Candy and e.l.f. – they were all atrocious eye shadow and I passed. I did, however, find a Scinti Countdown to Christmas Gift Set – it’s like a nail art advent calendar. I really just wanted the little mustache nail decals. It ended up being $3.72, so not bad, even if it is a brand I’ve never heard of.
On Saturday night, I talked my BFF into a trip to Walgreen’s, again in search of clearance Xmas. Along with a shit-ton of Gift Tags, I found a Conair Ultimate Style and Volume Gift set for $5. I really only bought it for the bun maker thingy. I also picked up a Red Velvet revo and the most awesome thing ever – a dancing Xmas Tree that sings “Feliz Navidad”!
I think I made my BFF sad when I carried that fucking tree down every aisle, making it serenade all of the other shoppers. Shenanigans!
She Loves Me!
My BFF really loves me! While she was vacationing in Seattle a few weeks ago, she stopped by a Walgreen’s and picked up a few Sinful Colors for me – “Queen of Beauty” and “Purple Diamond”. (She had also gotten me “Starry Night”, but since I already had that one – she got to keep it.)
It’s been like a month since we hung out, but we finally got to hang out yesterday. On the way back from visiting her sis in the hospital (who is like my sis), we stopped at HEB for random shit and I couldn’t resist picking up NYC “Fashion Queen”, because with the $1 off coupon…SHIT, it was 98 cents.
Angie is a Genius
I don’t know if it because I’m a hoarder or if I’m just lazy, but when I buy something and don’t like it – I usually just keep it. When I tried out the Sinful Colors Quick Dry Topcoat and was disappointed by it, I just threw it in my huge pile of polish. Angie suggested that I return it and get 3 more polishes…
Since I had to make a late Walgreen’s run last night to get Zyrtec (actually Wal-Zyr since I’m cheap) for my son, I grabbed that Quick Dry to return. I was disappointed that this Walgreen’s didn’t have their Sinful Colors Xmas displays out yet, so I picked 3 from the regular collection – “Charmed”, “Mint Apple” and “Forget Now”.
Also…the girly who checked me out LOVED my Supreme shirt.
