Definitely no contouring duos that I saw :(
Thanks it's a staple for my Mom dam me for getting my Mom hocked on an LE product.

I guess I can go to the prostore and get her the pots I know she liked the combo cause it just made things easy.

From now on I have to stick to Fridays, because we got stiffed on charity bags again :( I checked out around noon today, and the bags were just one type, containing Launch Away blush and What Comes Naturally lip pencil. I guess it could've been worse, but it's still disappointing compared to the Friday bags. I don't really get why they don't try to equalize the charity bags over all three days. I've stopped going on Sundays long ago just because of that. The free gift was bronzer, that's pretty good.

Otherwise, the sale was really good this time. Here's my haul

167SH brush $20 (OMG I almost died when I saw this)
Face & Body fdn, large 120 mL size $20
Lip conditioner and Lickable lipstick $10 ea
Daylight MES $15
MAC Cleanse off oil $15
MAC Pro eye makeup remover $12

I originally had a few more things, but I was really good and put a bunch back. I'm a bit sad that I returned Aurora pigment, I really want it now. I also returned an MES, a nailpolis (Vagabondage), concealer pot, Opulash mascara, and B&B conditioner and Clinique m/u remover from the $4 table.

Some things I noticed - good selection of foundation shades, but all the MSFN's were sold out already. This is the first time I saw lip conditioner, and I was just about to buy a new one at full price, so this is perfect. Lots of cleanse-off oil, which is rare too. The mini Fix+ and mini oil are no longer at the $4 table, they're now $8 in the first room, disappointing. Azalea Blossom was sold out too, but Vintage Grape was there. Good selection of paint pots, fluidlines, nail polishes, concealers and mascaras, too. Oh, and they had Guacamole eyeshadow, I almost got one.

Anyway, if anyone wants to trade charity bags, I have one or two extras.

I just joined Specktra thanks to this thread. Super excited about the December warehouse sale!

I missed the September one, but I'm definitely not going to let this one go. I'm a bit afraid of frauds on kijiji, that that's the risk I'll have to take :)

I'm planning on getting some skincare stuff from Clinique.

Charity bags and gift sounds great over all how would you compare this to some of the other sales you have been to? Was there any msfn in medium plus or any fix plus? LOL I know last question is supper specific either of those would make it worth my while to drive there and or hunt for a ticket.
 
Sorry, I can't really help you - I didn't look for those two items, though I did see they had several different MAC waters, so it could've been there but not sure!

I went on a Friday at around 2pm and it was surprisingly not busy at all. Alot of their items are already packaged into bags this year so they have less employees on the floor.
I think I remember seeing a Fix+ mixed in a box of their random Skincare. I didn't see any MSF or MSFNs at all.

This year seemed to mainly have Gift Sets, probably since its Christmas/Holiday Time.
I got the same Charity bag and Free Gift above at 3pm. Except I got a Nail Polish instead of the Lipglass.

For some reason even though it wasn't busy on the floor, the lines for the Cashiers took FOREVER and long. I was in line for a good half an hour.

Just came back from my first ever warehouse sale. We (mom and I) got there around 9:30 on Sunday. Thanks to the info from this thread, we knew what to expect and moved at our own pace since all the good stuff are all gone on Sunday. It was pretty relaxing for the most part, mom and I treated this as a "girls-day-out."

Here's the Haul:

1 x Estée Lauder Pleasure To Go gift set $60 each
1 x Estée Lauder Pleasure To Go gift set $30 each
3 x Estée Lauder Fresh Liens gift set $30 each

Although this wasn't useful for either of us, it was a great opportunity to buy gifts for family friends :)

3 x cases/small bag from Mac Tartan, $4 each

And as we wondered into the 3rd room, I caught a sight of a sign that said "Advanced Night Repair" and went absolutely ape-sh*t. I have been trolling the Eaton Centre almost every day for 4 months looking for a deal on the infamous serum for my mom, but never had any luck. I wasn't going to let this slip through my hands.

2 x Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair synchronized Recovery Complex (THE SERUM!!!) $55 each
1 x Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv Intensive Lifting Creme $120
1x Estée Lauder Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator (another serum) $80

Funny enough, since the Estée Lauder stuff is so expensive, there is a separate purchase process. You have to ask for your items, they'll bag it and send it straight to a special cashier. You have to go pay for your items right away. In other words, at no point can you walk around the sale with these items unpurchased. This caused some traffic problems but it makes sense, I looked up the price online/the bay and these items were at least 50% off. MA MA IS GONNA GET GREEEEAT SKIN :))))

Free gift: Mac Shy Girl lip stick
Charity Ball: Clinique Turnaround concentrate (another anti aging serum) or a perfume. I got two serums for mom.

---
Total Damage: $350.31@for the Estee Lauder skincare stuff $211.12 regular sale stuff +$10 charity

Again, I want to thank everyone on here for posting their experiences. It really helped me out since I've never been to something like this and I have hardly traveled north of Steeles avenue. I had a blast!!!
