So I will start off with my favorite purchase first. I have been wanting the lipstick Pink Please from Maybelline for a while now, but it has been discontinued from the line. :( I hope they bring it back because almost all of my favorite Youtube gurus love this lipstick. I had found one Pink Please lipstick left at Walmart but it was used and swatched. (eww- remember that was one of my biggest pet peeves?) So I didn't purchase and had just resigned to never finding it.
Lo and behold- what did I find in a small, almost over looked make up bin at Big Lots? Not one, but TWO Pink Please lipsticks for only $1.50 each! SCORE! I checked both to see if they were used- and they weren't! Brand new! One lipstick had a small nick on the top but nothing major. I just grabbed them both and did a small victory dance inside my head. =)

Very happy with that find. I also got some Revlon Nail polishes that were packaged in two's for only $2.00. I got four Revlon nail polishes for $4- unbelievable savings when you take into consideration that Revlon nail polishes usually retail for around $4 each!
Swatches: Belle, Galaxy, Rock, Silver
Swatches: Rock & Silver
Swatches: Belle & Galaxy
I love glitter nail polishes so I immediately gravitated towards these two packages. Belle has silver little sparkles mixed with larger silver glitter pieces. Galaxy is a mix between iridescent purple and navy color with small purple sparkles and larger silver glitter pieces. Rock is a brilliant, almost highlighter purple even though it looks bluish in the photos. I like Silver, but not sure why it's called Silver because its actually a gray?
Also got this travel kabuki brush for only $1. Because of the packaging I couldn't feel it to see how soft it would be. The back of the bag didn't say what the brush hairs were made from either so I assumed it was probably synthetic fibers. I opened it when I got home and it isn't as soft as I would like it, but I like the dome shaped brush and the carrying case it came with.

I also got this skin boosting night serum from Biore for $4.50. I currently don't use anything on my skin at night so I thought this would be a great place to start. The only thing I have to complain about is that the packaging is so deceiving. I was expecting a much larger bottle.
Actual size - haha - Bottle holds 1.4 fluid oz of serum

I will review this product more in depth at a later time.
Lastly, I also found this Maybelline Dream Mousse concealer in the same makeup bin that I found the lipsticks in. This was only $3. There were also foundations but the shades were much too dark for my skin tone so I didn't get any of them.

At first I thought it might be a little too yellow for me but I used this under my eyes today and to cover my acne scars and it covers so beautifully. It also blends like a dream, just like it says. lol. I am so glad I found this product for such a great deal.
Overall, I am so happy that I hit up Big Lots! I also spotted some Elf products while I was there, but nothing that I really wanted. Elf products were $2.50 each there, so there is a .50 cent savings, but sometimes I find the same products at the Dollar Tree for only $1. Final verdict: Beauty deals are out there- go forth and find them! :)
Happy with big savings,
Cherrie
