Holiday Shopping Haul, Part 2: US Drugstore Goodies
11 Comments Posted by Tine on Sep 25, 2008 at 8:16 AM.
Shopping for makeup at drugstores in the US is so much fun. There is such a large variety of makeup to choose from, and they're so cheap! It's even better with store coupons, especially when you can get buy-one-get-one-free (BOGOF) offers.
Here are the stuff I bought at Longs drugstore. I had no access to CVS or Walgreens where I was, but I had my fun at Longs.

Loreal HIP Color Truth Cream Eyeliner
CoverGirl Wetslicks Amazemint lipgloss in Everything's Rosy
Loreal HIP eyeshadow duos in Platinum, Sassy, Flashy and Shady (I got this on a BOGOF coupon)
Prestige eyeshadow in Glisten
NYC Automatic Eye Pencils in Basic Black and Bold Brown (this was also BOGOF)
Crest Whitestrips
John Frieda's Frizz-Ease Creme Serum Overnight Repair Formula (in the US, this was at USD10 per bottle. In Australia, this is almost AUD30. Talk about ridiculous mark-ups in price).
Of all the places, I found the Best of Smashbox beauty kit at Costco!
For those of you who do not know what Costco is, it's this huge hypermarket where they sell anything and everything including the kitchen sink in bulk. Think Malaysia's Makro. I was really excited when I saw this. The entire kit only costs USD20!
Smashbox lip gloss in Pout, Fame and Glitz on top of a pink lip gloss case (it comes with a mirror)
Smashbox mascara in Black
Smashbox mascara primer
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer sachet
Smashbox Skin Tint in Radiance
Smashbox eyeshadow quad in Picture Perfect
It's such an amazing find, isn't it?
Next up, Bath and Body Works!

*drools* *wipes* *Drools* *wipes* no matter how much I wipe, i still drool, I love all the hauls you have and I would buy those too!!! My friend who just came back from the states told me about Long's and she told me she thought of me and I"ll go crazy if I'm there!
Great haul! I love prestige shadows and Glitsen is a lovely shade though a bit gritty; and I have a few HIP duos but I did not quite like the colours - found them too "dirty" looking. Good job on the Smashbox pack! :D
I cant wait for my NYC trip this December!!! shooppppingg!!
*smack smack*...dammit!! woman, you are SO bad for me - I'm losing copious amounts of water just DROOLING like dear Nikki! I'd LOVE to go back to the States again, but the flights are just killer... :( *howls*
I want that Loreal HIP cream eyeliner! Everyone's got them except me. :/ You HAVE to do a review on it yeah?
And your Smashbox goodies, for $20?! *Gasps*
Ahh...I do envy you for those goodies! Especially that Smashbox kit!! Gosh, when am I ever making a trip to the US???
I don't like you, Tine. *envy envy*
Can't wait to hear what you think of the Loreal gel liner and shadows.
great find on the smashbox kit!
Ahh..... bath and bodyworks! They haven't been doing sprees from bath and bodyworks and I really need more liplicious!
I want so maaaaany things from that list........one day I will go to your house and steal ALL OF THEM?!!
MWAHAHAHAHAHAH!! }=D
Sorry. Just felt like I needed to be dramatic there =p
Askmewhats:
Here's a tissue for your saliva. Hahahaha!! Longs Drugs was fantastic, although I heard CVS and Walgreens' a lot better. Oh well, I had my fun at Longs :p
Paris:
Oh I know! Too bad there weren't any BOGOF coupons for Prestige shadows, or else I'd take 'em all! I bought quite a lot here in Australia, and they're so expensive compared to the US prices. Haven't tried out the HIP shadows yet though. Only bought them after I've heard so many good stuff about it from Nikki ;)
Grape:
Oh my, you're going to have SO MUCH FUN shopping! Can I come with you? :p
Beetrice:
More to come, babes, more to come :p
MisSmall:
No worries, I'll get to it. About the Smashbox stuff, oh I know, right? And of all places I found it, in Costco! It's like finding that in Tesco or something :p
Indulgent Diva:
Honeymoon lah ;)
Connie:
Tee hee, aww don't be like that lah ;P I can't wait to dig into the HIP shadows either. That should be good :)
COnstant Drama:
Ini macam, I'm locking 'em up. HAHAHAHA!!
*drooling*
Wow, so many stuff you bought... oh, yes, I love buy-one-get-one-free offers too!
