Beauty Buzz: Weekly Deals 2/20-2/26

In the spirit of this blog, I've decided to start outlining the upcoming week's beauty deals on Tuesday so you have plenty of time to track down coupons before the sales begin on Sunday.  I have found the best deals are at the big three drugstores: CVS, RiteAid and Walgreens.  I'll pretty much be sticking to the sales at these stores, but if I find a great deal at a grocery chain or national store I will be sure to mention it.

I should start by saying that I won't be mentioning EVERY beauty deal out there, but I will be highlighting the best and matching coupons and/or rebates.  My goal is to make sure you can find all the cosmetics, face care and hair products you want without breaking your budget.  Paying full price for anything makes me sad.  :-(

At the moment I don't have an exact format for writing up the deals so it may look a little sloppy until I tweek my ideas.

CVS

Revlon: Foundation, Powder, Blush or Concealer - $8 ECB when you buy 2
          $2 OFF ColorStay Aqua Mineral Makeup or any REVLON Face Product (exp 2/20/11)
          $3 off any Revlon Cosmetic (CVS coupon scanner)
          *Cheapest products start at $9.99; with 2 manufacturer coupons and 1 CVS coupon the
            final price (minus ECB) would be $2.49 each
Cover Girl: any cosmetic - $3 ECB when you buy $10
          $1 off any Cover Girl product (exp 2/28/11)
          $1 off any Cover Girl Eyelights product (exp 3/31/11)
          $2 off any Cover Girl Lip Perfection product (exp 2/29/11)
          $1.50 off any CoverGirl (CVS coupon scanner)
          *Cheapest products start at $3.49 so you need to purchase 3; with 3
            manufacturer coupons and 1 CVS coupon + ECB the final price would be $0.99 each
Sally Hansen: Salon Effects - $2 ECB when you buy 1
          $2 off any Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips
          *These retail for around $10; with 1 coupon and ECB the final price is around $6 - not
            great but these are pretty cool!


RiteAid and Walgreens don't have much this week in the way of great sales - at least not any that match with coupons for a great price.  There have been so many great sales in the past few weeks though so there was bound to be a lull.

The coupons that I mentioned are available through any coupon clipping service or on eBay.  Be careful with the Revlon as they expire the first day of the sale so you won't have much time to get that particular deal.  Also, the coupon scanner CVS coupons are not given to every card, so if you got one you are very lucky!
