Looking for the perfect drugstore foundation...

Is there even such a thing as the perfect drugstore foundation? I need something that is good for my dry skin, won't get cakey on me, and moisturizing throughout the day... When I went to Walgreens today, I saw that they had several foundations on "last chance" clearance, and decided to pick up a few. "Last chance clearance" must be the last mark down, because you will see the original price, a sale price, and then the last chance price. Here's what I picked up -

Revlon ColorStay Mineral Mousse in Medium Deep $3.59
Revlon ColorStay Mineral Foundation in Medium $1.80 [because they had Revlon on BOGO 50%]
Covergirl TRUblend Microminerals Foundation in Beige Natural 440 $2.89
Rimmel London Renew & Lift Foundation in Classic Beige 201 $2.49
L'Oreal Bare Naturale lip conditioner in Mauve $2.59

That came up to $14.26 [w/ taxes], and it came with a $5 jingle cash good for my next purchase. Of course, I couldn't help myself but to look around some more. I'm not even sure how I got this $5 jingle cash, I even asked the cashier but he didn't know :/

I saw this Maybelline Pulse Perfection by Define-A-Lash vibrating mascara in Very Black and decided to pick that up too. It was on clearance for $7.59 minus the $5 jingle cash = $3.05 w/ taxes.

Make sure to stop by your Walgreens and check out those last chance clearance items this week! They also work with the BOGO 50% off sales [see drugstore sales this week here].

Also stopped at CVS to pick up the new Covergirl NatureLuxe stuff. I gotta be honest with you, one of the main reasons I want to try it is because Taylor Swift is their new girl for this campaign... I know, silly right? Well, I picked up the liquid silk foundation in Honeywood 345 as well as two gloss balms in Clay Argile 260 and Hibiscus Hibiscus 215. If you want to try it, it's a good time to get it this week because CVS has the buy $15, get $5 extra bucks on this new line.

This  means I now have 5 drugstore brands of foundations to try out, do you think I will find the perfect one for me?

Some other random beauty stuff I picked up at Walmart the day after Christmas. I tried to go back today to buy more but they were COMPLETELY out! This Maybelline smokey eye set was only $5, it came with the Falsies mascara, eyeliner, and eyeshadow quad. I knew I should have picked up more! I heard you could find it at Target on sale as well.

Also picked up this Hard Candy set for $2.50. It comes with an eyeshadow primer, 3 eyeshadows & applicator, and a blush/bronzer & brush.

Did you gals pick up any good deals on beauty buys this week?

Other after Christmas/before New Years beauty sales. If you spot anymore, let me know and I'll post it here too :]
