I don't particularly like doing haul posts, because I don't want to seem all "Look what I bought!". I try to make my posts as helpful and informative as possible so when I do hauls I figure it's no use to post them since I'll review each product eventually anyway. But I did want to show you what I was able to snag at the 2 CCO's near me to give you an idea about what may be at your CCO.
For those of you who may not be familiar with CCO's: CCO stands for Cosmetic Company Outlet which are located in various outlet locations around the country. They sell Estee Lauder and other brands that they own (MAC, Clinique, Origins, and Bobbi Brown to name just a few) at around 30% off the original price. The discount is great, but what I really like is that in addition to some current products, they also carry a lot of products that have been discontinued and you can't get anymore at normal stores. This is really helpful when it comes to MAC since they're constantly coming out with limited edition collections that can sell out quickly.
So if you're interested, continue reading for more information and a list of products I bought and/or saw for sale :)
The Beauty Clearance Sale at CVS is upon us again, so I rushed to the stores near me (there are only 3 in the entire state of Delaware and I'm lucky enough to live near 2 of them) to take advantage. Sadly, however, I saw no clearance stickers. But I never take no for an answer so I took some products to the coupon/price scanner and sure enough they had the clearance price. That's when I grabbed a basket and loaded it up. All the products you see in the above photo were 75% off! And believe me, I'm not finished. I'm going back as soon as an acceptable amount of time has passed that the store employees don't think I'm stalking the store :) Anyways...here's what I hauled so far after the jump!
Ok, so technically this wasn't really my first trip to Big Lots. I went there a few times when I was a kid with my mom, but this was my first trip there when I was the one shopping. I know one of the only ones who have been sleeping on this awesome bargain shop, but it never even came into my mind to go in there for beauty deals. So I randomly popped in one day last week and got myself a pretty decent mini-haul for EIGHT DOLLARS! I couldn't believe the discounts on brand name stuff. Here's what I snagged:
Bumpits.......................................................$1.00
Epielle Aloe Vera Cleansing Tissues 60-ct................$2.00
Smooth Away................................................$2.50
Pack of 2 Fashion Tweezers...............................$1.00
Bio true Contact Solution Travel Size....................$1.50
Total..........................................................$8.00 :)
What's the best deal you've ever found at Big Lots?
Stila had a killer Warehouse Sale last week with up to 80% discounts so I picked up a few goodies. It was the first of my Cyber Monday purchases to arrive at my door and it certainly set a good tone for the rest of my packages. I loved everything I got from Stila and I can't wait to share the swatches with you :) Check it out after the jump!
I'm not even going to keep you guys in suspense with this....I love this stuff. I'm haven't been too keen on some of the nail trends that have been popping up - and by that I mean crackle polish. I don't know why but I just couldn't get down with that stuff. However, I stand completely behind these magnetic polishes. With only 3 steps you've manicured an optical illusion right on your nails. Full review of this and Nails Inc.'s Kensington Caviar Top Coat after the jump!
