Navigating Chemist Warehouse is equally as thrilling as it is chaotic. Neon labels, narrow aisles and crowds of shoppers are overwhelming, there’s no doubt about it. Now imagine that, but everything is half price. Pure mayhem. Truthfully, if it were anything other than makeup (or skin care, hair care and fragrance) we’d advise you to stay home and protect your personal space. But, there’s 50 per cent off cosmetics (right now!) and all the big names like Maybelline, essie, Revlon and Rimmel are involved.
How long have we got to shop our favourite makeup items at half price?
Hours, days, weeks? The exact end date remains a mystery. Our best advice? Move quickly.
So, if you’re looking for a new mascara or think it’s time to test out a fresh foundation, here are nine products we’ll be shopping in the sale.
Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
This drugstore mascara went viral on TikTok for its flexible brush which separated and curved each individual lash in just one coat. As for the formula, bamboo extract and fibres allow for an extension-like finish without weighing down the lashes.
“I got this as a recommendation from a friend, and it is now one of my favourite mascaras! I bought a very black tube, and it was pretty cheap. The wand is long and the bristles are not too long making it easier to use. I really like this mascara because it colours my lashes and does not clump at all.” – Zoeee

Nude by Nature Travel Brush
There’s no beauty kit that wouldn’t benefit from this multi-use, retractable makeup brush. Whether you’re travelling or just want something that won’t take up prime real estate in your handbag, this is not an item to sleep on.
“The brush is encased in a strong sturdy steel like material. Looks very sleek and minimalist. Easy to clean with a gentle foaming detergent. Just ensure it is thoroughly dried before closing and using again. This is a great brush and it has lived in my handbag for a couple of years.” – Beauty Obsession

Nude By Nature Hydra Serum Tinted Skin Perfector
Boy oh boy, don’t we love a tinted serum, and even more so when they’re under $20. Enriched with jojoba seed oil and vitamin E, Nude By Nature’s lightweight formula creates a dewy, skin-like finish.
“I chose the shade Porcelain as my skin is fair with pink undertones. I found the shade to match well, once applied to the skin (using fingers) it blended in quite well and did not look streaky or mask-like, the coverage is very light and sheer.” – Amazeballs16

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in ‘Coffee Shimmer’
If you’re not already familiar with the drugstore lipstick selections, here’s an amazing place to start. Rimmel London’s Lasting Finish Lipstick offers colour, coverage, shine and comfort thanks to its glide-on formula and unique Colour Protect Technology. Though it’s available in seven stunning shades, our favourite to pick up during this scale is ‘Coffee Shimmer’.
“Even though I usually prefer to use a lip gloss rather than a lip stick, I have been using this lipstick in a nude shade a lot lately, because it makes your lips stand out enough for when your going out, but is also good for day time because it comes in some nice subtle shades. Great lipstick at a great price!” – Ray

Maybelline New York FIT me! Liquid Foundation
This is a drugstore foundation that has earned itself a stellar rep for covering without caking. The breathable formula leaves the skin looking natural and feeling comfortable, while the micro-fine pigments blend to match each skin tone accordingly.
“As a dry skin gal, I’ve been through numerous ‘dewy’ foundations before I gave up and went to a BB cream. Then Fit Me came into my life and I haven’t looked back!” – Hoots

Revlon Beauty Tool Volcanic Stone Facial Roller
As a result of TikTok virality, this oil-absorbing beauty tool sold out in the US, which led to its Australian release date being brought forward. So not only do we have the option of buying this reusable, mattifying and dare we say magic tool on the other side of the world, but we are also able to snap it up at half price.

Revlon Colorstay Creme Eye Shadow in ‘Honey’
If you choose to hit ‘add to cart’ on this Revlon ColorStay™ Crème Eye Shadow, let’s have a look at what you’ll be getting. First up, a waterproof, blendable and 24-hour wear cream shade. Plus, a built-in brush specifically designed to transfer the exact amount of product to your lids each time. With 12 deliciously named shades to choose from like Praline and Creme Brulee, we’re spending our $7 on the pale gold ‘Honey’.
“It dries down to a powder and it has a metallic finish that is just so flattering. I would highly recommend giving this a go, even if you have never used cream shadows before because it doesn’t apply like a normal cream shadow. I just love it so much.” – JMenz

Essie Nail Polish in ‘Ballet Slippers’
For a nail polish shade that needs no introduction, essie’s Ballet Slippers is a no-brainer to stock up on. As far as neutral polishes go, this sheer pink hue secured its place as our go-to for just about any occasion. Oh, it was also Meghan Markle’s wedding polish. Need we say more?
“It’s beautiful and super easy to apply it on, and the actual nail polish liquid lasts so many years and doesn’t go off at all and doesn’t start looking weird. it’s very much worth giving Essie Nail Polish a go.” – Duaa2202

Same! I still have so much makeup to go through =D
Yes always pretty tempting.
Me too, love CW, I buy a lot from there online as I can never find everything I want when I go into a store. So much stock.
That’s a very good discount. I need a new nail polish.
I love Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara. A visit to Chemist Warehouse is a must
Love this lipstick. Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in ‘Coffee Shimmer’ the colour is exactly what I like

Chemist warehouse have great sales, sadly my nearest one is an hour away, so I don’t get there very often.
Love a good sale but I’m not enamoured with CW.
Their online shopping is easy. Only thing is sometimes you get sent multiple packages from one order. I order everything from CW online eventhough I could go to a store.
I love CW 50% sale. I usually stockpile the products of toiletries and skin care in the sale
Some great deals there.
Atm need nothing. Love cw sales
Great news! Thankyou bh! 🙂

Like a good CW sale but trying to navigate the stores does my head in
Chemist Warehouse have lots of great deals on beauty products, was excited to still see these products half price when I went to the website.
My fave buy there was always mascara 1/2 price. And they all worked better than a few high end I received to try.
Have heard all great things about revlon’s matte liquid non drying lip goodies, that stay all day put, like crazy! Want to try, but have 10ish lippies to use up first. Neverending project
I’ve been wearing less makeup while at home… but this is very tempting.
I have put my order in and can’t wait to receive the Revlon eyeshadows and the Rimmel lipstick in Coffee Shimmer! 🙂
I usually wait for 40-50% off sales to buy anything, so I’ll be checking this out.
Ooh, I ust resist this sale!
The Revlon Beauty Tool Volcanic Stone Facial Roller is such a godsend for oily skinned gals! I love it. The Nude by Nature travel brush also looks so nice.
I’m going to have to race in before this ends!
I always stock up on mascara- either Maybelline or L’oreal.
Have most of these but good idea to have backups
Coffee shimmer lipstick nice colour.
I would love some more color tattoos which I use all the time. I think they are awesome.
I do not need any make up or skin care. Lots of items here to use.
I’m so stoked with the coffee shimmer lippy – it’s so gorgeous on! Looks great off too – beautiful colour. Love the price and I caved for three of the Revlon creme eyeshadows too.
Some great bargains here. I love the NBN brushes 🙂
Love Essie nail polish
