Beach sprays are big this year when it comes to the drugstore. My favorite to date is the Marc Anthony Dream Waves Beach Spray which I reviewed here, but I'm also currently testing out the new L'Oreal beach spray, and I've heard from several of you that Organix has a new one out as well.

Have you ever been on a no-buy? If so, how long did it last, and were you 100% faithful?



For those unfamiliar with the term "no-buy," it's basically a self-imposed ban on beauty purchases. Chances are, if you're reading this blog, you probably read other beauty blogs too. And if that's the case, then you are probably tempted to purchased dozens of beauty products on a daily basis. How do

This is officially New Body Wash Season at the drugstore and I for one am LOVING it! First I freaked out about the new Coconut Water and Himalayan Pink Salt body washes from Dial.

And just today I posted about

Review: Femme Couture Prime Wear Long Wearing Lip Créme in Honey Nude

When reflecting upon my experiences with this new lipstick from Femme Couture, this quote by Dorothy Parker immediately came to mind:


"This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force."



Substitute "novel" with "lipstick" and you've pretty much summed up my feelings about this product. I've  tried--oh I've tried--to make this lipstick work for me since I

Spotted: Rimmel Sunshimmer Shimmering Maxi Bronzers

I'm not really up on my Rimmel releases, because different retail locations seem to offer different Rimmel items. For instance, there are products that you can buy at Walmart that you'll never see at CVS or Rite Aid, and I think there are also some products that might be exclusive to Walgreens, and even Target. In other words, the permanent Rimmel display can vary from retailer to retailer.

Spotted: Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Polishes (new shades and magnets)

Are you "over" magnetic polishes yet? If your answer is "No!" then you'll be happy to know that Sally Hansen has released some new magnet designs and shades! As you'll recall, the original Sally Hansen Magnetics all had the same half-moon shape magnet design. In this new display, there are four new magnet designs.

What's your skin type, and what's the number one thing you'd like to improve or correct about your skin?



I have oily, mature skin that's generally pretty clear, but I'm prone to time-of-the-month breakouts. The number one thing I'd like to correct is the dark circles under my eyes (it's an endless battle of the concealers in my makeup bag!).

Review: Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick in #104

Matte lipsticks probably spark more intense emotions than any other type of lip product I've blogged about in the past four years. Either you really love mattes or you really despise them. There simply is no middle ground.



It's no secret that I'm in the "love" camp for matte lipsticks. Since I'm about the same age as Tori Spelling, Jennie Garth and Shannon Doherty, I rocked what I like to

What’s your go-to pedicure color? If you don’t have one, what color(s) are you looking forward to wearing on your toes this spring? 


G's answer: That's easy. Any type of blood red, vampy red or oxblood shade, as long as it doesn't have any shimmer or sparkle (I don't know why, but I just prefer red shades on my toes that are cremes or jelly-cremes).

Spotted: Lip Smacker Special Edition Flavor Trios

This year Bonne Bell celebrated its 40th birthday and released some fun Lip Smacker sets, including the Cupcake Lover's Collection and Strawberry Lover's Collection, to commemorate the occasion.

But these "Special Edition" trios were new to me when I spotted them at Rite Aid the other day, and I could only find this info on the Lip Smackers e-store website, about one of the flavors in this

Happy Valentine's Day!

Mr. G "wearing" Milani Color Statement Lipstick in Best Red



I just wanted to take a minute to wish all of you very happy Valentine's Day! I was wearing Milani Best Red last night and gave Mr. G a big smackeroo on the cheek and thought it looked so cute that I snapped a pic!



Anyway, I hope those of you who wear red lipstick are busting yours out today. There's something sort of

Physicians Formula Valentine's Day Giveaway (Facebook)

Spotted: New Milani Limited Edition Textured Creams Specialty Nail Lacquers

Textured nail lacquers are definitely the next new wave to roll through the world of polish (see the OPI Liquid Sand polishes in the recent Mariah Carey Collection, the Zoya Pixie Dust Collection, etc). So when reader Angie shared these pics of the new limited edition Textured Creams Collection from Milani, I was  thrilled to see this trend brought to the drugstore level so soon. Milani, you are

Spotted in the UK: New L'Oreal Nude Magique CC Creams, BB Creams and BB Blush

Reader Marie, who is located in the UK, recently spotted the new L'Oreal Nude Magique Collection and was kind enough to share some pics with us. 



Often times brands release new collections in other countries before we in the US get them, but I obviously have no way of knowing for sure if these are coming to the US (or when). Also, IF this collection comes to the US, it could be renamed "Magic

Spotted: Sinful Colors Matte Effects Collection

I apologize if this is old news but, as most of you know, I'm a bit rusty when it comes to new releases from Sinful Colors, and I just spotted this display at my local Rite Aid a week ago (I think it first started popping up in January, but I could be wrong).

You knew it was going to happen! With CVS running a straight 50% off sale on Physicians Formula foundation, powder, blush, bronzers and concealers this week (through 2/16), and the $7.50 in Quarterly Extra Bucks I had burning a hole in my pocket, I just had to pick up some goodies.

Spotted at TJ Maxx: NYX Box Sets

I was at TJ Maxx the other day and spotted some NYX box sets that are a heck of a value (if you can find them). Inventory varies from store to store, so I obviously can't guarantee that you'll spot these at your TJ Maxx, but it never hurts get out and take a look, right?

Spotted: New Sally Hansen Salon Effects designs

Has anyone seen the annual limited edition Valentine's Day designs from Sally Hansen yet? They usually pop up in January, but I haven't seen a display in my area and I haven't heard a peep from any of you about them either. Looking back, the Valentine's Day 2012 collection actually started showing up in December of 2011. Hum...I hope Sally Hansen hasn't decided to ditch their seasonal

Spotted: New Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizers

We haven't seen any new spray lotions at the drugstore for a while! When I first heard about these new ones from Vaseline last month, I have to admit I was quite curious. Sometimes spray lotions don't deliver the hydration that my skin needs, but who doesn't love the convenience of a spray--especially when you're in a hurry, right?



Longtime photo contributor Jess spotted these new spray

New scent from Dove: Blue Fig and Orange Blossom

Revlon on the Runway: rag & bone Fall 2013

Backstage with TRESemme at NYFW: Rebecca Minkoff Fall 2013

I've got some fun backstage photos to share with you today, taken at the New York Fashion Week Fall 2013 Rebecca Minkoff show. TRESemme products were used to create the looks on the runway, but the most exciting part, to me, is always the behind-the-scenes shots. I have to admit, I was very happy to see my beloved TRESemme 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray in action (see photo below). It's probably

Over the past few months, I've received requests to post more reviews of products that can be found at natural foods stores, or in the natural beauty aisle of the drugstore. Well I really lucked out because typically these products tend to be a little bit more expensive, but I hit the jackpot at a local Rite Aid a few months ago. Apparently they were remodeling and had to clearance out a bunch

I usually give you three or four products every Friday, that always add up to five dollars total. But I did say that every

Spotted: New Hedy's Ma.nish.ma "Stoned" Nail Color Collection

Hedy's is an interesting little drugstore brand. I've only spotted their products at Rite Aid in my area, although I'm assuming that other regional chains may carry them too. Some of their products are hit-or-miss but I've generally been pleased with their polishes (specifically their Oke.doke line), which retail for $1.99 each.

Review: Flower by Drew Barrymore Raise Some Brows Defining Brow Pencils

I'm in permanent panic-mode when it comes to my eyebrow pencil. I live in fear that my beloved Holy Grail eyebrow pencil, Maybelline Define-A-Brow in Dark Blonde, is going to be discontinued (some shades in this line were discontinued last year but, knock on wood, Dark Blonde hasn't been...yet). 



So when I noticed that the new brand, Flower by Drew Barrymore (available exclusively at Walmart,

Review: Maybelline Volum' Express The Rocket Washable Mascara in Blackest Black

Full disclosure: I adore Maybelline mascaras. My favorite formula is Volum' Express The Colossal (in the yellow tube) but when I first heard that Maybelline was releasing a new volumizing formula (my favorite type of formula), I. WAS. SO. THERE.

What's your favorite beauty box subscription service, and why do you love it?



Beauty box subscription services (services that require members to pay a monthly fee in exchange for a box full of beauty samples and/or full-size items) have really taken off in the past few years. I remember a time when there were only two or three services out there, and everyone got the same "mystery" box

NYC Cosmetics returns to (some) CVS locations!

Huge news here, NYC cosmetics fans! But let me back up a moment for a recap:



Last year, NYC cosmetics disappeared from some CVS locations. In its place, CVS put up new Wet n Wild displays. So for months now, it's been an either/or situation. Some regions have full Wet n Wild displays, while others have full NYC displays. I have never heard from a single person who has both a full WnW display

Hi, Nouvettes!

Last year on the Nouveau Cheap Facebook page we were having a chat about how tired I was of always addressing you, the readers of Nouveau Cheap, as my "lovelies." Don't get me wrong; I think it's a sweet way to address you in my posts, and I like to address you as something instead of just "readers" because I feel like we're a little family at this point, with many of you hanging out with me

Cute idea for your extra glitter

 Glitter from Dollar Tree



I'm willing to bet that a lot of us have extra glitter lying around. Whether it be from past craft or nail experiments, or maybe even cosmetic-grade glitter previously used for a Halloween costume, eye look, etc. I know for a fact I have vials and vials of beautiful glitters in my house that are just not getting any love.
