Lisa, the nice woman at cosmetics, recommended an age-defying foundation with SPF 20 that was so smooth and creamy. Anything to help with the lines and protect your skin I love. The colors she helped me pick out for my eyeliner and eye shadow were neutral tones and very nice. I also got a nice non-clumping mascara and a smooth and moisturizing lipstick that was only 99 cents! She also told me about the ExtraCare Beauty Club where you get $5 back for every $50 you spend. Lastly, she used a primer on me to hydrate my skin that was awesome! She used a tool when I first got there to check my hydration levels. I had dry skin so she showed me this great product to help clean and hydrate my skin. It was by VICHY. I will most likely head back to CVS to pick it up soon.
Back home, changed my clothes, took off my glasses, feeling better from Allegra and my new make-up, and ready for the day!
Love the makeover!! And so glad the Allegra helped you feel better. Allergies are so miserable.
Wow What a great job you did on this post!! Great pics glad Allerga helped
Oh how I hate my allergies!!! How is the Allegra working for you? I usually end up using Zyrtec D for mine….or just Sudafed as it seems to work the best for me! Love your mini makeover!
I never knew they carried children’s Allegra. Good to know! Love your mini makeover session… Those plots look pretty and natural for summer. Great tip about the beauty club! I never knew they had a separate beauty club with rewards!
Those colors I meant… Not plots. Lol spellcheck!
I had no idea CVS offered mini makeovers! Your before and afters were awesome. Wish I could carry a little Lisa in my pocket to help me with my makeup! I always wonder about allergy products for my little ones. Glad to hear that Allegra makes a children’s option. I will certainly check out the closest CVS store next time I go to the “big city”! Glad it worked for you and that you are feeling better!
We don’t have CVS stores where I live, but I wish they did! I used to go to them, and I really liked them. It sounds like they were great. I don’t have allergies, but I know that they can be pretty awful.
Love the make over!!! Had no idea you could do that at CVS!!
I’m going to try this allegra, I need a miracle, allergies are killing me 🙁
Wow! This is a very cool service that CVS offers! Looks like it really helped!
So jealous of your cvs!!! We don’t have one in WA but get all the darn commercials for them!! Looks great and thanks for the review of Allegra. My Zyrtec hasn’t been so hot but I am scared to switch!!
Pretty lady! Glad the Allgra helped
I hadn’t been to a CVS in a long time but had to get a prescription filled for my daughter. I was amazed at how large and clean my local store was. I’ll definitely be back to check out their make up section.
I’ve never heard of this service before, that is awesome! I love CVS and the ExtraCare Beauty Club. It’s such an easy way to earn ExtraCare bucks.
I am so glad the Allegra worked quickly for you and that you started feeling like yourself again!
I *never* had allergies prior to moving to AZ (and how funny that an Allegra commercial is on my TV at this second!)
I didn’t know CVS had makeover thingies! I don’t think mine do! Now I’m going to hunt one down so I can get my makeup done! LOL
I never thought I had allergies, but it seems that every year i get a little closer/more to having them. Yuck. Ive never tried allergra, but I m sure ill be checking out my local store when I am in need for relief!
How cool that you got a makeover at CVS! BTW, that CVS looks more like a home than a drugstore. I am glad that Allegra had you feeling better!
I shop at CVS a lot!! It is right up the street from me and open 24 hours a day which has saved me on more then one occasion!! And the one near me has some food items—As for allergies–I feel your pain–I generally use Claritin non drowsy but from your recommendation I just may try the Allegra, see how it works on me.
Great make-up job, and thanks for the allergy med. info! I am in denial of my adult onset allergies! Lisa at CVS is great, she has helped me before!
A make-over at CVS? Who knew?! Allergies have been really bad this spring. Hopefully this week of rain is going to knock the pollen out of the air.
I had no idea they offered makeovers at CVS! That’s so exciting!!!! 🙂
I take Zyrtec for my allergies year round, and when they get really bad I throw sudafed on top of that. It seems to get the job done!
I need to try Allegra. Its the only brand I haven’t tried. My allergies are killing me with this weather right now. You look great and that new CVS is awesome!
You look Great!!!! I love how fast the Allegra works.
Great info! And a makeover — how fun!
Your CVS is so FANCY! How cool!
Love your CVS…super jealous right now 🙂 I definitely need to look into Allegra…I’m about at my wits end between myself and my kiddos. The prices look great and I’m sure I can find some coupons somewhere to maximize my savings even more. Thanks for the insight and the fantastic pictures!
I love that CVS offered the makeup consultation.
Your makeover was lovely! I never knew CVS provided makeup consultations. That’s fabulous!
Holy moly- what a difference! You look fantastic. I am going to run to CVS!!! Thanks for the great post!
That’s so awesome that your CVS folks offered to do a makeover like that! Ours doesn’t offer anything similar; I had no idea they did it at all. You look great, too, by the way. You’d never guess you had allergies!
What’s the name of the Vichy product? I didn’t know anyone else made something like that besides Skindinavia…
