Hi guys! I'm so excited because I just logged into Costco.com and looked in the beauty section and they have so much good stuff I can't wait to get my hands on it all!

So the first new thing I saw was the Kevyn Aucoin The Legacy Palette


Kevyn Aucoin The Legacy Eye Palette
At Barneys.com it costs $165 dollars (ouch)
At Costco however, $99 dollars!
That's a savings of 40 percent, although it is still expensive, if it was on your buy list, definitely buy it from Costco

The next new thing I saw was the Dolce and Gabbana Cream lipsticks in the shades

Coral
Fire
Black Magic
Mandorla
Bonbon
Tease
Shocking
Lady
Traviata

The price at Nordstrom is 34.50 
At Costco 24.99 in the shades

The next one is the YSL Rouge Pur Coture lipsticks, I've heard incredible things about these and they are an iconic beauty staple
They come in the shades:

#01 Le Rouge
#04 Rouge Vermillon
#05 Beige Etrusque
#14 Rouge Feu
#17 Rose Dahlia
#50 Rouge Neon
#51 Corail Urbain
#54 Prune Avenue
#55 Orange Indie
#56 Rouge Anonyme
#57 Pink Rhapsody
At Nordstrom they are $37 dollars
At Costco, 26.99, around 10 dollars off!
These are just some of my favorite deals going on right now at Costco, let me know if there are any deals that you think should have made this list!

(Also, NOT NOT NOT sponsored by Costco, just a strong and loyal customer)
If you don't have a Costco membership, get one now! Besides having a fantastic bakery, cheap gas and a great return policy, I recently discovered their beauty section. As soon as I saw it I thought, where has this been all my life? For all of you who may not have Costco in you country/area or just don't know what it is: Costco is a warehouse style store where you pay 50 dollars each year to be able to shop there and they sell everything, from food to printer paper to Hunter rain boots, all at warehouse prices & bulk sizes. Now, it sounds like it would be terrible quality, how else could they afford to sell their items for so cheap, but everything they sell is great.
Now let me stop rambling. So I was at Costco the other day and I was grabbing some moisturizer in bulk in the beauty aisle, and I noticed that they had makeup. I was so confused, Costco, selling makeup? What? So I looked online to see what this was about and boy, had I been missing out!
Costco sells all sorts of beauty products at incredible discounts, from mid range to high end. So today I thought I would show you some of the incredible products and deals I found on Costco.com as compared to the prices of said products at Nordstrom (They price match, so it should have the cheapest prices).

So I picked my favorite products to show you guys and first up is the Guerlain d'Enfer mascara. Now Guerlain is an incredibly luxurious brand like the high end of the high end so it was to my surprise to find their products at Costco of all places. I went to a Guerlain spa in NYC and I got to try some of their products and I must say they perform incredibly.
The mascara is available in Costco in the shade noir.
At Nordstrom it is: 30.00
At Costco it is: 23.99
So that makes the total discount around 20%, and for a brand that never goes on sale, that's a fantastic price!

Next up is the bareminerals complexion rescue tinted hydrating gel cream. This is a lightweight almost bb cream foundation that I've heard good things about.
At Nordstrom it is: 29.00
At Costco it is 19.99
That makes the total discount around 32%, again a stellar deal!

Next up is a cult favorite, the Bobbi Brown shimmer brick and it even comes with a brush
At Nordstrom it's: 46.00
At Costco however, it's: 32.99
Total discount: Around 29%

Another cult favorite and one that I would say is the best deal of all, This trio of full size Bobbi Brown lipsticks. 
It includes 3 full size lipsticks. The shades are sandwash pink, pink and salmon. 
At Nordstrom, the price for these three lipsticks combined is: 81.00
At Costco though: 36.99!!!
That makes the discount: Around 51%

Actually, the best deal that's not makeup is on fragrance. All of their fragrances are 49.99 regardless of fluid ounces which can make fantastic deals on an item that rarely goes on sale. 
Guerlain Shalimar 3 oz
Nordstrom: 109.00
Costco: 49.99
Discount: Around 55%
Lancome Tresor eau de toilette 3.4 oz
Nordstrom: 102.00
Costco: 49.99
Discount: 51%
Chloe eau de parfum 1.7 oz
Nordstrom: 105.00
Costco: 49.99
Discount: Around 53%


Also all of their shipping is around 2 dollars regardless of what you purchase. Now do you see why I love Costco for beauty purchases? I don't know how I would have functioned before that!
Do any of you buy beauty products from Costco?

This week when I stopped by Target, this little product caught my eye. What is it you ask? Maybelline Baby Lips Electra Lip Balm. I ended up buying two because, well, why not? I got one in a bright pink and a bright orange color. The line is concentrated on neon colors mixed with the Baby Lips formula. Which makes a beauty addicts dream. 
(Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm in the shade Oh!Orange)
The packaging is sleek with a black tube and a plastic cap. It reminds me of very beginner makeup that you would get in a barbie makeover kit because of the clear plastic cap, but that might just be my opinion.

 This product gives a very sheer orange tint that actually isn't that noticeable on the lips. However, It provides extreme moisture, like that puppy is just like vaseline. The pink shade however, is color up in your buisness. The pink is not for someone who is shy to color. I wouldn't call it a lipstick but more of a pigmented lip gloss finish. 

I feel that this product is worth the money (retails for around 5 dollars USD) because of the moisture but I wouldn't buy this expecting actual color payoff. 

Have you tried this product yet? If so, leave me a comment below letting me know what you thought of it.

In my weekly rounds to Clinique, I recently purchased one of their "Chubby Sticks" 
(Shade: Graped-Up)
Besides the hilarious names, I mean come on, Graped-Up, who else names their makeup so whimsically! It is advertised as a lip balm with a little color and that's exactly what it is. It provides a sheer wash of color, so you can really try any color without going too overboard. 
(Swatch on paper)
Graped-Up is a really beautiful mauve color with a natural finish on the lips. It doesn't become super glossy but it definitely isn't matte. The one bad thing is, this lip balm doesn't last at all and I find reapplying it every hour because it comes off so easily. It doesn't flake like I find the other similar ones do and it definitely does moisturize (intensely). 

(Shade: Graped-Up)
The packaging is pretty nice with a tube that actually shows the color of the product making it much easier to distinguish in-stores or in a drawer. It has metallic caps and writing but they're not reflective which is a let down. The retail value of this product is $17 USD. Overall, I think this product is absolutely worth the money.
