HIGHLIGHTS, TIDBITS AND NEWS
CVS shoppers: Attention Aveeno body care fans! Check out this deal on Aveeno body lotions or creams this week. And don't forget that the CVS Beauty Clearance Sale is still going on (click here for the master list). Rumor has it that some locations may be putting more items on clearance starting at the middle of this month, so if you haven't been able to find some of the items on the master list on clearance at your locations, you might have better luck in a week or two, so keep on scanning!
Rite Aid shoppers: Lots to cover in the world of Rite Aid this week. First up, when you spend $10 on any Wet n Wild products this week, you'll get $5 back in +UP Rewards. That's basically like a 50% off sale when you spend $10, so if you're able to spot any of the new WnW products I showed you last week, this is a great time for a haul (especially since the limit is 2 on this rewards deal). If your Rite Aid has all of the new NYC collections I showed you the other day, it's haul time since all NYC cosmetics are BOGO1/2OFF and when you buy 2 items you get $1+UP (limit 2 on the rewards deal). There are also some awesome deals on EcoTools, Physicians Formula, Jesse's Girl and Prestige this week (details below). Remember when I told you that Vidal Sassoon is coming back with a new drugstore haircare line? Well it has landed at Rite Aid and it's on sale this week for 2/$8. More news: Rite Aid is celebrating its 50th anniversary this month, so there will be special icons next to items in this week's circular (actually this is going to be happening for the entire month, through Jan. 26th). When you see a little red money sign next to an item (I will put those items in red below), that means that they'll qualify for even more savings (details below). Also, the January Video Values coupons are now up (unless otherwise specified, you can stack those coupons with any manufacturer's coupons you may have). There are some great coupons this month for you to print out (after you watch brief videos, of course). For example, there's a $1.50 off any Burt's Bees lip color coupon and this week when you spend $10 on any Burt's Bees skincare or lip care, you'll get $3+UP. If you use that coupon, you'll only have to spend $8.50 out of pocket to qualify for the $3+UP (if your Rite Aid has the new glosses and tinted lip balms this would be an awesome way to use this coupon). There are also Video Values coupons for $1 off Revlon PhotoReady BB Cream, $1 off the new L'Oreal Advanced Haircare line and more.
Walgreens shoppers: This is really cool: on the Walgreens Discover Beauty Within home page, there's a page that features the winners of the 1st Annual Walgreens Beauty Advisor Awards. I'm not sure how these awards were decided, but I love that Walgreens is honoring their Beauty Advisors (*waves to all of the wonderful BAs who read Nouveau Cheap*), who help us all so much throughout the year with coupon hook-ups, advice, etc. So be sure to click here and see if YOUR favorite Beauty Advisor won an award this year! The January Coupon Book is now in stores (coupons valid 12/29 - 1/26). Click here for the full list of what's inside this month's book. And remember that you can stack these coupons with any manufacturer's coupons you may have, for even more savings (there are lots of good L'Oreal coupons this month!).

    New 2013 product wrap-up and info

    To contact us Click HERE
    As you all know, I've been doing nothing but new products posts this week (and I'm still not done!), and I've had a few of you ask if I could do a wrap-up post featuring all of the new 2013 products to date. Well, that would be a very long post, so I think the easiest thing to do, if you'd like to see every single new 2013 product I've shown you to date, is refer you to the "categories" section on the right-hand sidebar of this blog. There you can select "New 2013 products" and that will bring up every single new product post I've done for 2013 to date 
    (IMPORTANT: when you come to the end of the page, click "older posts" because there are many more posts than what you'll see on the first page.)
    Hope this helps!
    PS: Thanks so much to everyone who has submitted new product info to me (it is much appreciated!) but I do want to take a moment to remind you that I will not post photos of things I've already posted photos of here. For example, I have recently received several photos of the new Revlon Spellbound nail collection, the new Maybelline Rocket Mascara and Vivid Lipstick Collection, but since I've already done posts about those (with photos), I unfortunately can't run your photos. I ask that you please do a quick search on my blog before you submit pics, and thanks so much! Also, I've been getting lots of questions about the new Drew Barrymore Flower line of cosmetics this week, so I think it's worth repeating that I am aware of the line and did a blog post about it a few weeks ago. If you missed that, click here for more info. Thanks!

    Rite Aid $4 off Physicians Formula coupon (grab it before it's gone)

    To contact us Click HERE

    A HUGE thanks to several of you for the heads-up that right now on the Rite Aid Facebook page, there is a coupon for $4 off any Physicians Formula purchase (hurry though, because this is only valid for the first 20,000 fans).
    I probably don't have to tell you how nicely this will pair with this deal this week (now through 1/5):
    40% off all Physicians Formula foundations, powders, blushes, concealers and bronzers; spend $15 on any of these items (after the 40% off discount) get $5+UP (limit 2)
    So let's break this down:
    Buy four PF powders/blushes/bronzers/concealers for $9.99 each (total of $39.96). After the 40% off discount, your total drops to $23.98. But then you'll use the $4 off coupon, which brings your total out of pocket down to $19.98.
    Then, since you spent over $15, you'll receive $5 back in +UP rewards, which you can use however you wish on your next purchase (for example, use it with the Wet n Wild deal and you'll only have to spend $5 out of pocket to get to the $10 you need in order to get another $5+UP rewards. Then you can take that $5+UP and buy another $10 worth of WnW stuff  and get another $5+UP rewards. Crazy, right?)
    So after sales, coupons and rewards, your grand total for four Physicians Formula products will be $14.98. That's a savings of $24.98. Not too shabby.
    And of course you can also use this coupon on a single item purchase. Let's say you find the new Super BB Cream stuff and you only one item. If the BB Cream retails for $14.99 (I'm guessing here on the price), with the 40% off discount your total drops to $8.99. But with that $4 off coupon, your grand total drops to $4.99. Not bad at all!

    Thanks again to everyone who took the time to share info about this coupon! I really appreciate it!

    Spotted: New L'Oreal Visible Lift Color Lift Blushes

    To contact us Click HERE
    Whew! I've got a lot to say about this new blush collection from L'Oreal and I haven't even seen these babies in person yet!
    But first: I received several pics of this collection and I'm so very sorry that I can't share them all here. I've said it before, but I just want to reiterate that this time of the year is extremely chaotic and I always find myself behind in posting new product pics, no matter how hard I try to stay on top of it. So again, I apologize if you were nice enough to share some pics and you don't see them here. It's absolutely my fault and I hope you'll forgive me.
    Reader Eymi shared some pics of this display and managed to capture something that I previously didn't know about these new blushes. Take a look:
     image credit: Eymi for Nouveau Cheap
    As you can see, the Color Lift Blushes are part of the Visible Lift family (the foundation is not new). 
    Keep reading for lots of additional pics and info...
      image credit: Eymi for Nouveau CheapNew L'Oreal Visible Lift Color Lift Blushes
    If you're lucky enough to find a display that has this tear-pad coupon, you'll snag $2 off your purchase. Yay!
    After sharing sneak-peeks of this new blush collection (before we even knew the name), I was left with the impression that these were going to be powder blushes and that they were matte in nature. Well boy was I wrong: on both accounts!

      image credit: Eymi for Nouveau CheapRose Gold Lift, Peach Gold Lift
    Eymi purchased one of these blushes and confirmed that they actually have the same type of "spongy" texture as the Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blushes (not super surprising since L'Oreal owns Maybelline). And if you enlarge these photos, you'll see that every shade in this display contains a good amount of sparkle. So yeah, they're not matte and they're not powders!

    Also, there MAY be more shades in this range, but there are six in this particular display (if you've seen more shades out there, please do let us know!).
      image credit: Eymi for Nouveau CheapPink Lift, Coral Lift
    image credit: Eymi for Nouveau CheapNude Lift, Berry Lift
     image credit: Eymi for Nouveau Cheap
    Have you spotted these new blushes in person yet? I'm hearing from several of you that they've surfaced at Rite Aid, Target, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens and Ulta, and I think Kmart too. 
    I'm still looking forward to trying these (despite the fact that I was hoping they were matte powders) because I'd like to know if they have better staying power than the Dream Bouncy Blushes, which didn't hold up too well on my super oily skin.  I'm a sucker for that bouncy texture!
    Thanks so much, Eymi, for the great pics and info. I really appreciate it!

    I've got a feelin'....

    To contact us Click HERE
    This color is from the Wet n Wild Fergie collection, it's called Tonight's Going to be a Good Night, and surprise, I love it. This color is basically the opposite of Sally Hansen Bridal Veil, it's black hex glitter mixed with larger gold hexes in a clear base. Black glitter - go Wet n Wild! ♥


    Here it is over an un-named LA Girl's gray cream:





    and this is overtop Going Platinum, which is also from the Fergie line. I really like this combo.


    Thanks for looking!

    You'll never believe this.....

    I recently had the ultimate haul....yes, are you ready for this? Sit, down, cuz, I scored Gosh at Big Lots.....and not just any Gosh, but THREE bottles of Gosh Holographic!!!! For $2 each. Oh yeah, I hit the polish lottery. Behold:



    Now, I had to dig...like really dig through almost 20 tubs of dirty cosmetics to find them, but I looked and it was worth it. I'll be swatching Holographic later this week....and I'll be giving away one of these bottles soon.

    I picked up one other Gosh color, it's called Purple Heart. PH is a duochrome that flashes purple/grey to green. This is one coat over black. I did have a hard time capturing the really purple color, but if you check out this bottle shot, that's what you see on the nail.





    Thanks for looking!
