Re: Long Island Estee Lauder warehouse sale
Just got back from the warehouse sale a little while ago, and I'm still organizing what I bought. There was a nice amount of MAC there, quite a bit from the Couture collection (I picked up a 182 face brush, a highlighter, a lipglass for $6.50 and a mystery pressed powder WITH refill that was $15 but there were many others) some Hello Kitty things (brush holder with brushes, makeup bag, doll), a few Fafi things (figurine, t-shirt, scarf) and a few carrying bags I'd never seen before, 3 of which I picked up.
But the highlight had to be the bin with the 3 packs of shadows ... randomly pre-selected, each pack of 3 was $10 ... yes, a mere 10 bucks for 3 shadows. Needless to say I was handing packs to the people I went with, since there was a limit of 3. And of course, most of the packs came with a color I had already, so I'm considering selling some of the duplicates on here (Clarity, Stormwatch, and Bang on Blue).
I also picked up a package of 14 Estee Lauder makeup brushes and a sponge for powder for $15 ... the brushes, all marked, include lip, concealer, blush, eyeliner, large eyeshadow, small eyeshadow, finishing (fan), face and body (kabuki), brow, bronzer, eyeshadow blending, base/contour, powder, and foundation. I almost had a heart attack when I saw the price sticker!
After the warehouse sale, I went to the Company Store, which was just a CCO I'd never known about before ... there wasn't a large MAC selection like the CCOs in Riverhead and Deer Park, but I was able to pick up JewelMarine glitter, a few shadesticks, some shadows and a fluidline. If I have the energy to post the pics, I put it all up in the haul forum.
Definitely worth the trip out there. Can't wait until my company gets tickets again!!
UPDATE: I just priced the Estee Lauder brushes ... 9 were on the official website, 5 I got average prices on ... the total cost of the $15 package I bought is approximately $388 ... I am floored.
