Back when I was in high school about a billion years ago, one of the things I loved to do after school was hit up the drugstore with my friends to grab an ice cream cone and to check out the beauty aisle.

This afternoon, I thought it might be fun if we all did something similar together (without the ice cream, unfortch), by holding a virtual drugstore makeup party from our respective corners of the world.

And instead of ice cream, the tasty treat will be a giveaway with a chance to win some makeup from Covergirl!

The prize

One lucky lady will win a prize package containing four items from the Covergirl makeup line:

covergirl-blazing-blues

covergirl-firecracker

covergirl-golden-sunrise

covergirl-tru-blend-brush

  2. COTTON CANDY!

    They never sold Ice Cream at the drugstores in my town but we have this ice cream/refreshments drive up by the beach that has so many flavours! Every time I go, it’s cotton candy all the way – you can get your cotton candy fix without going to the fair!

  5. Edy’s French Vanilla. I loooooooove the French Vanilla. I eat it out of the jar.

    Ironically, I got two out of the four items on my previous visit to the grocery store. Firecracker’s green and pink are no where near as pigmented as I like when using my brushes but they’re okay if you use the spongey applicator thingers that come with them but hate blending. The other one I’ve used only one of the colors but are much more pigmented. I’ve been spoiled by HiP. >.<

    But, who can say “no” to free make-up? Not me!

  6. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this post was the pistachio ice cream from Thrifty’s – it was the first ice cream I ever had from my first visit to California (visiting family in LA) and I’ve always loved their ice cream ever since! I didn’t get to go to a Thrifty’s on my last few visits, though, but I have fond memories of that pistachio ice cream.

    Current favorite ice cream flavors: Chunky Monkey and Rocky Road.

    meimei´s last blog post..Foot Candy for Spring

  12. Ben & Jerry’s Oatmeal cookie! It’s cinnamon ice cream with an oatmeal cookie swirl and chocolate chips, and it’s HEAVEN!

  13. i’d get a pint of chubby hubby from the freezer aisle. i’d also say i’d only eat a quarter of it, but i’d eat the whole thing. 🙂

  16. I remember when Rite Aid used to be Thrifty. My favorite drug-store flavors are strawberry and rocky road. Mmmm. It makes me salivate thinking about it. High end ice cream stores can’t beat RA’s $1 double scoop! 🙂

  32. Good old chocolate. So good and yet so bad.

    I love the CG Chocolate Truffles palette! Too bad I can’t seem to find it anywhere. 🙁

  35. i love Ben & Jerry’s Coffee Buzz ( :
    a local drugstore in Hong Kong just introduced a new range of cosmetics by Gosh Cosmetics (Denmark). it was love at first sight for me and i was particularly impressed by their huge range of colors for their pencil liners !!

  40. I actually haven’t had ice cream in months. The flavor that I use to get nearly every time was Tiger Tiger though. That stuff was addicting.

    Reply

  41. Moose tracks! I have trouble finding it at my grocery store all of the time, but when I do.. 🙂 Delicious vanilla with fudge swirls and mini peanut butter cups. When I was younger, my friend and I used to fight over who got the last fudge piece and would sneak into each other’s freezer to have a few bites. Haha!

  43. our drugstore doesn’t sell ice cream but my favourite supermarket one has to be meiji brand red bean with condensed milk and white chocolate. too good to be true.

    Reply

  45. rocky road sounds lovely…also some of those ben and jerrys flavors!! but strangely enough i like some good old soft serve froyo the best

    Reply

  46. I don’t think they ever sold ice cream cones at the drugstores I went to, but they did have those prewrapped ones… my favourite was always the Haagen Dazs ice cream bar, vanilla with the crunchy chocolate (I don’t remember what they put in it to make it crunchy).

    Reply

  48. MINT CHOCOCHIP!! that sounds soo good right now as i sit at the library studying : ((((( *hungry

    😀

    thanks for this giveaway!

  56. I love Haagen-Daz pralines and cream…. I usually eat the last of it in the mornings, after the boyfriend goes to work. He loves it too!

    Reply

  66. this is haaaard. it’s between rocky road, ben and jerry’s phish food, and chocolate extreme. at least im pregnant and the baby likes ice cream.. lol

  72. yUmm!! everyones making me HUNGRY!!!
    hehehehe…

    I always love the Sherbert,
    but when i was little i
    called it “RAINBOW ICE CREAM”,

    Good Luck!!! =)…….

  73. Oh!!! My favourite is Ben and Jerry’s Pistachio! It’s so light and nutty, not too dense or sweet on the palate … I love its soft green and the frozen pistachios embedded in the ice cream. The weather here is hideous, it’s like 95 degrees, and I can’t find this flavour here at all .. 🙁

    Reply

  74. Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia, is one of my all time favorite ice creams!! If they didn’t have that I would have to go with Ben and Jerry’s Mint Chocolate Cookie!! It is awesome, my all time favorite Cookies N Cream with Mint. It can;t get better than those 2!!! 🙂

    Reply

  76. All time favorite hasss to be Butter Pecan! I lovvvvve this stuff. I think this is what made my day on Fridays when my mom would take me to get ice cream!!!

    Reply

  83. I’m not sure if there’s a technical term for it, but my favourite is Haagen Daz or Ben and Jerry’s vanilla with crunchie bars smushed up into it. Highly childish but very tasty!

    Reply

  86. I’m allergic to chocolate, strawberries, and I’m lactose! So I would have to say a coconut fruit bar! Those are so yummy!!!!! 🙂

    Reply

  92. Mint chocolate chip please!

    Lycka till? “Lycka” your ice cream, more like it! LOL 😀 Eeps sorry for that bad pun. heh he

    Reply

  94. My favorite was a sugar cone with two scoops of ice cream : one scoop of chocolate almond and one scoop of chocolate chip.

    I think that now I’ll have to get some ice cream (and makeup) after work!

    Reply

  95. cookies & cream in a sugar cone! tho back in the day (waaaaay back in the day) when you could buy ice cream at the thrifty’s drug store, i was a sherbert girl all the way.

    Reply

  96. I’ll take Ben & Jerry’s cookie dough in a warm waffle cone, and I’ll even share! I was there when they first opened in a former gas station in Burlington, and I was there for the ground-breaking ceremony for the first factory (in Waterbury). So how could I ever eat anything else?

    Reply

  99. I’ve totally been craving Peppermint ice cream… a few weeks ago the coffee shop near my dorm had some, and I forgot to stop back, so I didn’t get any. :/ Mint Chocolate Chip just isn’t the same!

    Reply

  103. I LOVE Thrify’s Chocolate Malted Crunch in the old school cone. So good, and so inexpensive. I always gasp when I see the teeny ice cream pints for $3+ Dang!

    Reply

  105. They never sold ice cream at my drugstore either but I LOVE Talenti’s Toasted Almond Gelato. But I’ve been on tart tangy frozen yogurt kick – green tea and original twist with blueberries and strawberries 😀

    Reply

  110. My favorite ice cream to get from a drugstore would have to be the strawberry shortcake with the strawberry ice cream inside the vanilla ice cream all covered in sweet cookie crumbs! Oh… It is sooo good!!!

    Reply

  112. I am an ice cream addict. Yum yum yum, my favorite is cake batter! It seems funny that my favorite ice cream is flavored after a food that I normally do not like or eat.

    Reply

  116. my favorite ice cream would definately be the mix of vanilla,strawberry,and chocolate icecream sandwich..it is moi delicioso !! =) I also add sprinkles inside of it.

  118. I absolutely looooove Green Tea Ice Cream… MMMMMMM xD If that’s not available, then maybe Ube or Coconut flavour or good ol’ Strawberry! 🙂

    I’m totally Asian with my choice of ice cream flavours 😉

    Hope you’re having a great day!!

    Reply

  127. oh my, I’d say pistachio but it’s so hard to find here :\ (and when you do it’s not necessarily good in quality and taste)

    Reply

  130. Hi Karen, love this idea. After shopping we can go to the ice cream parlor and have an ice cream. I would like to have Breyer’s Butter Almond ice cream. Love it and I’ll have two scoops!

    Reply

  135. Mmm yum, Ice cream at the drug store, me and my hubby would be there all the time! In my dream drug store they would have Haagen-Daaz chocolate chocolate chip! I want some now!

    When it’s hot outside Ice Cream is the cure!!!

  143. Absolutely, gotta have a bowl of double chocolate chunk ice cream on a summer day. Its chocolate ice cream with HUGE chunks of dark chocolate in it. Can’t get enough chocolate in my life!

    Reply

  144. Allergic to milk! And so is my boyfriend, so we get that “Soy Delicious” stuff in chocolate and put Cool Whip and chocolate syrup on top. I’m surprised we don’t have diabetes yet, that stuff is addicting….

    Reply

  150. mint and chip from thrifty’s! or i guess it’s called rite aid now- but the ice cream is still just as good! i could go for some right now….

    Reply

  151. My favorite of all time is Flamingo ice cream ( strawberry and licorice ) on a waffle cone!!! Oh I miss the States…. the ice cream here can’t compare!

    Reply

  156. I have to agree with you girl and go with the rocky road. My dad got me hooked when I was little and I have loved it ever since.

    Reply

  157. Back when I was in HK, there was this blueberry cheesecake flavor and it was my absolute favorite! Now that I’m in Canada, Strawberry cheesecake @ Baskin Robbins! I got two of that on their 31 Cent Scoop Day! lol

    Reply

  164. I usually make my own ice cream, my fave ever is just plane chocolate. So I bring it home and add a little hot fudge on top with whipped cream and cocoa puffs, is that weird?
