Any good beauty finds at Costco ??

Funloving — Sun, 13 Jul 2014 01:43:44 GMT

I remember a while back reading that Costco had some high-end beauty products from time to time.

I was always envious because our big box store is Sam's. We have about 6 in the metro and they never really have anything like what I read about from Costco. But maybe that's a thing of the past? Sam's has more home goods, clothing and that type of thing.

I know inventory changes regularly- same as Sam's. We had some Ripka, which didn't interest me, lots of deals on electronics.. but nothing good in the way of beauty. I'm not there that often but when I am it's to stock up on office supplies and I DO look around.

The reason I ask is because we're finally getting a Costco here.

Has anyone purchased a good beauty find.. and if so, what was it?

I got the Costco circular this week.

There are some mini nail polish kits. What got my interest is the new moisturizers from Olay Regenerist. It's a two pack at $8 off.

Wow.. nice discount, HonnyBrown. I wonder the price of the 2-pack. Are these their retinol products, do you know?

Hi Fun I don't have a Costco and it's been awhile, but I have ordered some beauty items from Costco online. A set of brushes I think....and something else

Anyway, good product, good price, good service.

I'm little jealous that you are getting one, LOL

Fun,

If I remember correctly, the final price is $15 a jar. The normal (Target) price is $24.

The Regenerist line is for 40s skin. I haven't researched the retinol line, but I think it's Pro-X. I'm a decade away from that one.

Check their website and look under "Health and Beauty." I just went to look for the Olay price and I didn't have to log on. They didn't have the Olay product I was referring to. They have a lot of beauty products and the prices.

Every February, Costco has a sale on Cetaphil products. I stock up on their moisture cream then. I have not tried any of their high end products yet.

I was going to mention the Olay Luminous too. I bought it last week at Ulta and it does seem to be working to fade brown spots on my hand...they say give it eight weeks but i see some progress. The Costco online price for two was $30 plus $2.99 shipping. At Ulta with a coupon and $3 off in my account I paid $20 for one. Amazon also has coupon on this product.

I belong to both Sam's and Costco. And it seems both stores carry many of the same beauty items. I have 3 Sam's Clubs near me. And they all have different selections. I only have 1 Costco near me. And pickings there are slim.

I kept reading about the great hauls people were raving about and knew they did not shop at my Costco.

I recently purchased Burberry Body Milk for $25.00, it goes for $50 at Saks and Nordstroms. And if you go to Costco website you can find Sisley Paris products at amazing prices. At the beginning of summer I buy multiple packs of Neutrogena spf55 sunscreen and they always carry those EOS lip balms, the ones that look like colorful eggs.

Can't go wrong with toothbrushes, pastes and floss - best beauty product there is!

I went to Costco yesterday.

There wasn't much there, but I did purchase the Jenna Hipp mini nail polish kit. They were selling two sets -- One was "the moderns" (my purchase) and the other one consisted of much brighter colors. Of course my 3 year old wanted the brighter ones, but we settled for the other set.

I think it was $8.99, but I can't remember. Either way, they were extremely affordable.

There are 3 Costcos within 10 miles of us. We shop at 2 and 1 of them is pretty pathetic.

DH went to the bad one yesterday to get a deep dish pizza, and was so frustrated, he left.

Our Costco sells a couple of the Strivectin sets. I have family that works there and it's a very "good" one, doing a great business supposedly Lancaster, PA. I know it's usually crazy busy but checkout moves very fast.

There was a new miracle worker cream I was tempted to buy.

My beauty purchases have been pretty successful at Costco recently, some of my fav's -

Dr Jessica Wu Vitamin C Serum, I've seen nice results and her products get good reviews online. They come in 4 vials - one for each week (mine seem to last a bit longer than that).

Whish Lavender Body Wash ...luv it! (on sale for $9.99 currently) fragrance is great and not overwhelming and leaves my skin feeling soft...I may have to get the Whish body butter that is online now as my local Costco's are out of it....

and Patti Dubroff Aqua Tint Lip (on clearance for $6.97 for 4 in pkg). These aren't my fav's and the gloss is not glossy in finish, but they don't dry my lips out and I simply put a clear gloss over them. There are two colors I like and the others work for my DD..for less than $2.00 each now, they are a buy if you like the light consistency of the Aqua Tints).

I am thinking about getting the Patti Dubroff 4 interchangeable color palettes on clearance for $9.97....great buy even if only one or two items are winners in each color palette.
