*******************

Next week I will be kicking off a new fun feature on The MotherLoot complete with a linky list for you to participate in each Thursday!

As a self-confessed drugstore junkie, I admit that I am addicted to drugstore shopping utilizing all of the free & cheap deals from the drugstores. I always wonder though if a product is really for me and even when using my Extra Care Bucks, I would love to know if it is worth the cost of time, storage, and the use of my register rewards!

I will have a new review feature each Thursday that my fellow drugstore junkies can participate in. Join me each Thursday for the “Drugstore Dish” and share your opinions on those great products you are scoring when doing your CVS & Walgreens shopping.

To kick it off, I am giving away to TWO lucky readers the new Maybelline Pulse Perfection Mascara today. This is Maybelline New York’s first-to-mass vibrating mascara delivers 7,000 vibrations per minute in 7 synchronized actions so lashes are transformed to perfection. This product is not out in stores yet, but will be sold in exclusively in Walmart nationwide starting on May 28th for $14.95.

To enter, tell me one of your favorite brands/items to buy at your drugstore or if you are a self-confessed drugstore junkie too! This contest will end on Tuesday (05/19) at 8PM EST and our winner will be chosen at random. Please only one entry per person and don’t forge
t to check back on Thursday for our very first Drugstore Dish linky list!

    There are some days during the summer that I don’t wear any makeup. I try and not leave the house with my face looking so bare though. I will put on some lip gloss at the very least. I love the lip gloss from Bath and Body Words. It tastes and smells like speariment. It is great!

    I used to frequent the clinique counters for makeup until we started our own business and had no income – I then switched to purchasing at the drugstore to cut costs! My favorite thing right now is trying various colors of eye shadow out! :) Great giveaway – thank you.

    I’m a total Walgreens junkie. It’s a good thing the local CVS is an hour away or I’d be a junkie there too. I get the best deals on diapers at Walgreens.

    I love L’oreal and have used it for years but would not mind trying Maybelline. Actually I have changed brands after trying Free stuff. So I would love to give it a try!
    Thanks for doing this. I read your blog daily!

    I actually don’t shop the drugstores but instead TARGET! I get everything at Target. I have been a faithful user of Cover Girl since I started wearing make-up like 10 years ago. I would love to try this stuff. Looks pretty awesome!

    My favorite Drug Store product is Revlon nail polish! I love getting pedicures during sandal season at the salon but these days I’ve been doing my own toes to save $$$!

    I love a good nail polish, but Ive always been a sucker for Wet N Wild polish! For 99 cents, I can pick from a bunch of colors, and if I dont like it, Im not out a bunch of money!
    And I really love when Osco has B1G1 free or 50% off, even more sweet of a deal!
    I use alot of my extra bucks on makeup, and Im finding that Cover girl is becoming one of my favs!

    I love shopping at CVS for great deals on make-up. I always hate paying such high prices for things like mascara so free mascara would be wonderful!

    Love those drug store sales. Cheaper than WM when they are have a sale. I’m buy an array of products when on sale but I guess the most often I buy their candy bars, gotta love 3 for a $1.

    isn’t it funny to think how we “browse” drugstores in the same way we browse clothing stores? I love roaming up and down the aisles looking at everything- that’s why I take my best friend with me- she and I can poke around at the same pace without one of us getting impatient-

    I love both WAG’s and CVS. My favorite lately has been shopping for Revlon products. Got some great rebates from WAG’s on Revlon a few month’s back. Free Revlon works for me. So does free Maybelline!

    I love to use my coupons I get with my free samples and combine them with Rite Aid Sales. I get stuff so dirt cheap! Especially when Rite Aid does bogo kellog cereal and I have another $1 off on each box! I get almost $10 worth of cereal for around $2! Wooohoo!

    I’m a Walgreen’s junkie since we don’t have CVS in our area. I’ve gotten some great deals there, but since they terminated the easy saver book, the deals are lessening each week!

    I am a total drug store junkie!I go to Walgreens EVERYDAY! I love to look around and see make-up, lotions, face moistures ANYTHING, I will even search out different Walgreens to see what kind of things they have. (just in case they carry something different!) I will admit though, make-up and masacara is my all time fAVORITE! I love to try all the new types of masacara!

    As a former cosemetics counter manager, I grew accustomed to aquiring great products as ‘gratis’ from the brands I supported. But now in a different industry, I get my ‘cheapie’ thrills through super-saver sites like this one and using high value coupons for good products when they are on sale (usually at Walgreens). Great Deals there!

    In college, when we wanted to “treat” ourselves, we went to Walgreens. And when my husband and I were dating, and I was having a bad day, he’d take me to Osco to buy me some makeup. My love for drugstores has not waned! I love buy one get one free deals, especially for L’Oreal products.

    I go in waves with my obsession with Drugstore shopping. Unfortunately we don’t have CVS in our town. We do have Walgreens. I do like going in for their bargains, but they always seems to be out of the items that are the best deals, so I don’t bother to stop. When I do, I love buying new cosmetics that I wouldn’t ordinarily try out.

    i love the original maybelline mascara in the pink and green tube.
    I also like physicians formula blushes and powders.
    they can only be found at the drugstore and they are affordable so that makes me a dj.
