CVS Deal on Revlon Nail Appliques This Week

August 7, 2013

I thought I would put up this quick post about this deal at CVS. These Revlon Nail Appliques retail for $10.49 each. This week at CVS any Revlon Nail Color is $4.99 and you get $3 Extra Bucks back. I bought two so I saved $11.00 on both and got $6 in Extra Bucks. So after the savings and the Extra Bucks for my next purchase, it's like I got both Nail Appliques for $3.98. AND! I had a $3 off Revlon Coupon so I ended up paying $.98 before tax. 

I will show and review the two Nail Appliques I got in a future post. Just wanted to share! :)
