I finally located a CVS where the sale items were clearly marked and still available! I picked up 3 items - the lip butters Brown Sugar and Creamsicle, and the Pink Pop Super Lustrous lip gloss - all marked down 75%. Two I really like and one not so much, buy hey - that's not bad!

| Creamsicle |
Let's get the one I'm not crazy about out of the way first - Creamsicle. I've seen swatches of this online where it looked pretty good, but it does nothing for me. I do think it will work for blending with other lipsticks, but on it's own, it washes me out and has a tendency to settle into my lip lines. It did do a good job of illustrating the hazards of living with a dog that is shedding her winter coat - or molting as I affectionately call it. Check out the dog hair on the left hand side of the lip swatch:-)

| Brown Sugar |
I honestly was expecting Brown Sugar to be the one that wouldn't work for me, but it is nowhere near as brown as I was expecting. It looks very natural on and makes for a nice "tanned" look, I think. Both Creamsicle and Brown Sugar were not colors I was willing to pay full price for, but for $1.99 each, I'm willing to take that gamble.
Pink Pop is a medium pink cream that is very nice! It feels smooth and hydrating on my lips and has good staying power for a gloss that is not that sticky. I like, especially at $2.07!
I have no idea if these colors are being discontinued or what, but the huge discount makes me think it's highly likely. Even more importantly, I now know which CVS to hit for makeup shopping, as everything was organized, clean, and clearly marked.
