It pays to wander around CVS because you have some of their coupons.
If you don't have one of their little cards/numbers that track your purchases, you are missing out on a lot of freebies. And meantime, you shop the store because the coupons expire (I've been known to not use one and find it when it is out of date.)
I had some coupons burning a hole in my pocket, so I decided to buy more of the Revlon gloss that I liked so well. While wondering around, I noticed they had several coupons out: buying $20 of certain Revlon products gave you a $10 coupon. Ditto for something similar with Milani products, buying $10, gave you a coupon -- might have been for $10, can't remember now.
I used my free coupon on the Revlon gloss (I bought 3) which gave me $10 and I turned around and used it for another one.
In Milani, I bought two eyeshadows. They come in round packaging. One was Royalty; the other was Coffee Shop. Royalty is a beautiful orchid color, shot with irridescent, blue-purple glitter. CS is a gorgeous cross between brown and copper, shot with copper gloss. Unfortunately, the glitter is only on the top and not through them. I'm using the color only in one spot so I can see the glitter they used with it.
It almost seems like deceptive packaging. This has happened to me with other brands.
There is one, though, that is shot clear through, made by Vincent Longo. I have it in several colors: flesh, black, and a copper shade.
I have plenty of glitter from Aromaleigh that I love and can top the Milani ones with -- that's not the point. It just seems too bad that they didn't put it all through the product. I'm going to tell the SA next time I see her.
Lid: light neutral beige with glitter
Crease: Royalty
Outer corners: CS
Topped with: AL Rocks Glitter, Shake it up
Lined bottom with Mac Black on waterline and MAC brown just below it
Mascara: Maybelline Stiletto on top; Lancome mini on bottom
Now what lipgloss do you think this is? I have no idea, and I thought I'd remember, so I didn't list it above. I think it is gorgeous! Perhaps it is the Rimmel? I'll try that again tomorrow.
It is Revlon Lipgloss 020 Pink Afterglow. It has subtle sparkles in it.

Royalty and CS 5 for color
-3 that glitter was only on top of the product
2 overall rating because I really hate that!
