As I approached the building I could already see the swarm of cars and as I got close the "LOT FULL" sign made me actually say "whomp whomp" out loud in disappointment. So off I went to the over flow parking lot down the street in disbelief.
Once I got to the entrance there was no line thank god so I waltzed right in, grabbed my big mesh shopping bag and wandered the aisles. I went over the the nail/body care section first where they had everything from cuticle scissors ($1.99) to all types of polishes ($2.49 for the most part). I picked up one of each scissors for my kit (to cut lashes) and Revlon Nail Art "Break Up" polish in Killer (orange) and Instincts (Bronze) for myself. I also grabbed a St.Ives 750ml body wash ($3.99) and a Sally Hansen spray on hair remover and pedicure in a minute combo because it was only $1.99!
I found my way to the makeup section where all Annabelle cosmetics were only $1.99 and Marcelle products were seriously marked down. I didn't find anything I needed so I moved on to the Smashbox section where I was on the hunt for their primer. I was told I was too late they had them but they sold out...boo.
Next I went to the massive perfume section and picked up my absolute favourite scent Pink Sugar by Aqualina 100ml for $35 and Caroline Herrera's 212 for men for the hubs at $55 for the 100ml. I also picked up a few essentials for him, 2 pairs of MEXX dress socks ($2.99ea), 2 leather belts (2 or $10), 6 pack of Schick razors ($4.99).
Also Since mother's day is this coming weekend I also picked up a few items I thought our mothers would love which has to remain hush hush because they could read this :) (HI moms!).
All said I done I spent just over $200 but it was well worth it because retail all these items probably would have cost closer to $500!
The sale happens twice a year and usually last for 2-3 weekends at a time. If you missed it this weekend you still have next weekend but if you miss that you will have to wait until November I believe for it to come back.

Thanks for the write up Farah! I've heard about this but never been. With Mother's Day coming up, I'd definitely hoping to find some time to go. :)

Good luck and keep me posted on your haul ;)
There's one next weekend, too!
I didn't make it to go this past weekend, but really I have SO many things- nothing I buy would be a "necessity", I'd be splurging for nothing! lol
Make up sales always make me nervous for safety concerns...
