My CVS Beauty Clearance Sale Haul (Spring 2013)

I patiently wait for the CVS Beauty Clearance Sale which comes around twice a year.  I stalk the Nouveau Cheap blog (http://nouveaucheap.blogspot.com) and review the master list prior to setting foot in the store.  During past sales, I have stocked up on quite a few products for gifts and future giveaways when I was more active on my YouTube channel.  I would say I have gone overboard in the past and my husband will agree.  For this sale, I decided to only purchase things I feel I would use, no duplicates of products and no stockpiling for the sake of a good deal.  I think I succeeded in sticking with the plan!  Check out my haul after the jump!

Clinique Superbalanced Makeup

Back again with yet another foundation!  I have more foundations than I will ever be able to wear in a lifetime but they're one of my favorite products to try out.  In my quest to find the absolute perfect foundation, I purchased Clinique Superbalanced Makeup in Cream Chamois (04) during the recent Sephora VIB sale.

Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara

I have been venturing into "mascara land" more due to the cost of my favorite mascara (They're Real by Benefit) and the launch of several new drugstore mascaras.  I am on a quest to find affordable alternatives for my favorite higher end products and I love trying new drugstore products! 

So I gave into the hype and picked up a tube of Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express mascara in Very Black.  I was excited to try this because I have heard many great reviews and lots of people really like it.  Plus the price point is great.  The Rocket mascara (what a name?!) retails for about $6.
