Did both of these transactions and actually the Almay one coat mascara is better than free- I got $1.01 overage! The coupon in the November booklet doesn’t adjust down to the purchase price when they scan it! (YES!) So be sure to add a filler! Oh, I love it!!!
laurie
PS, another commenter (Jamie) posted she didn’t get the 2nd coupon to ring b/c she DIDN’T have a filler. So, the cashier scanned the coupon, but only $4 came off, not $8… so make SURE you have at least $1.01 filler or you won’t have free mascara!

I went at 11pm Sunday after reading the post that they were ringing up as a BOGO Free. Sorry to say it DID NOT WORK for me here in Iowa. It did ring up the 50% off though. Whether you buy the free-after-RR foundation with the mascara or the eye shadow…you still get it all for free. The eye shadow makes $1.25 profit but you have to pay upfront for it…whereas if you buy the mascara at half price of $3.49 and use the $4 Q it’s automatically free at purchase + you get .51c overage

I’m in IA, Davenport to be exact. Worked at the 2 locations I went to last night about 10-11PM.
Saving Money Plan
I got the money-maker on the mascara 3 times. But is the Almay makeup and eye shadow working for everyone? i.e. – Is everyone getting register rewards?
Thanks!
Julie
Im not sure if I understand how to do this deal. I want to buy the foundation and mascara. So cant you explain what the deal are? Is it buy one almay product get one free? Is the coupon that is in the walgreens book for $4 off almay products and it will take off for both of them?
Lori
I went this morning and tried to get 2 mascaras (6.99 each)…they rang up BOGO 50% off…and the coupon only took $4 off, not $8…am I doing it wrong?
AC
I figured after so many people caught onto the glitch that corporate got it fixed by the end of the day. If anyone else gets it throughout the week let us know. I don’t see why it would work in some areas and not in others. It’s not like each store sets their own computer systems. I would think if you got it Laurie that I would have too being that we’re so close.
Amanda C
Lori the same thing happened to me. I got two mascara’s for #3.11. Still not a bad deal.

Went to Walgreens in Plant City, FL. I bought 1 Almay pure blends foundation and reg. 1 eyeshadow. The eye shadow rang up free! I received $10.00 RR. Darn wish I had read this before leaving out this morning…but on the good side. I rolled my RR and bought the 2010 Entertainment book. It is selling right now for $35.00 but I only paid $15.00 after using their $10.00 off coupon in the circular too.
Linda
I am in the Detroit area. I bought 2 one coat mascaras this morning along with a few other items and they rang up BOGO. I was only able to use one $4 coupon. I passed another Walgreens this afternoon and bought 1 pure blends foundation and 1 pure blends mascara. The mascara rang up at 50% off and the $10 AND $5 RR printed.
Sarah Anderson
Thank you! Free makeup makes my Monday! I just went this afternoon to the downtown St. Paul store and it rang up B1G1 on the foundation and lipgloss and I got the $15RR, yay!
Angela
AC – Did you buy the One Coat mascara or the Pure Blends mascara? Because the $5 RR is only printing for the Pure Blends line.
I went last night at around 12 am and it worked for me. I am hoping it still works so I can roll more RR! I have a bunch expiring on 11/7.
PolishMom
Just wanted to say thanks! Went over to Walgreens over my lunch hour today and both Almay scenarios (and the Lubriderm) worked perfectly! Still ringing up Buy one, get one free in NE WI about an hour ago.
Melanie
Just did this deal again and it worked perfectly! Still ringing up BOGO on all Almay too!
Tonya
This deal is awesome! I used the $10RR to buy more make up so I ended up with about $80 worth for $26 OOP and had $25 RR left over! The mascara coupon didn’t double for me, but that’s still really cheap! And I got packages with free eyeliners in them!! :) Great Monday!
AC
Angela, I bought the One Coat because that’s what the wags Q was for…I didn’t know if they would take it for the other kind. Because I live in a small town, they don’t make a fuss over a few transactions so I was able to buy 4 of the foundations and for 3 of them I paired it with the P.B. eyeshadow which gave me the $5RR. Those however also only rang up at 50% instead of free like all you lucky gals. :(
laurie
Do both deals together in the same transaction to decrease your oop and cover the overage issue. So buy 1 Pure Blends Almay foundation @ $9.99, and either a Pure Blends lipgloss or eyeshadow, which will be FREE, then grab 2 of the One-Coat Almay mascara and use the $4 coupon to get them FREE + overage. Should be $8.98 + tax and get $15RR. HTH those who aren’t getting it to work/ not understanding.
beth
I just went to a South Florida Walgreens and the Almay is NOT BOGO. I purchased a Pure Blends foundationa and Intense color Eyeshadow and only received a $10 RR. Did I do something wrong?I can’t find a printed list of Monthly Register Rewards to take with me to Walgreens to try to get the $5 RR for the eyeshadow. Am I missing something?
Tara Kuczykowski
Beth, the RR is only for the Pure Blends line, and it sounds like you bought the eye shadow from a different line.
sarah
Deal did not work in Lincoln, NE – rang up buy one get one 50%
Amy
i just went and got 16 mascaras! plus got the foundation and lip gloss. paid $10 OOP ($6 was NY sales tax ugh) and got back $15 RR
Michelle
I just got back from Wags and did as Laurie suggested above and it worked like a charm no problems.
Amanda
Sorry to report that using the Unilever $7RR from the Vaseline deal from October will, for some reason, prevent the Almay RR from printing.
Dang, my first Walreens return. :(
Olga
Amanda, i just used 7$ Unilever RR with this deal and Almay RR printed just fine… Must be something esle.
Pamela
This deal worked for me and check out the Burberry Brit for Women 50% off deal and get this for possibly 10.99. I did tonight at 7:30 p.m. and it worked like a charm…WooooHOOOO!!
Kim
I also used my Unilever RR and it worked great for me!
Thanks Tara for finding & reporting this deal.. Almay is the only mascara I can use (besides Avon) and I love it.. Also use the foundation since its light.. and Im running low on both..
I got 4 mascara (and I thought that was extreme!) and 2 foundation and Im set for the year.. YIPEE!! :D
I think any more than that & it’d just go bad..and what a waste that’d be. Anyone know what the shelf life of mascara is?
Deanna Dill
I bought the foundation today and i didn’t get an rr and it wasn’t advertised so i had to just return it. Where does it say you get rr’s for these products? Thanks
brittany
This worked at one of my Walgreens…but not at another…I thought that was weird!
Sarah J
Did the this: Bought the foundation for 9.99, picked up a pure blends eye shadow, Also 2 one coat mascaras. Everything rang up. Used the almay coupon and got 15.00 in RR this evening in Wisconsin. The eye shadow did ring up as BOGO for me as well so it turned out to be a money maker for sure! I also took the Lubriderm deal and bought 3 of those and used only the diabetics coupon book in the pharmacy. I ended up paying a small amount per bottle but so worth it! Would have been a much better deal had my printer been working!
