This past Friday I made the trek to Markham to attend the Estée Lauder warehouse sale. It was my second time going and it was just as much fun this time around, especially since I got to meet up with some other makeup fanatics. As always, it’s by invitation only and if you don’t have a ticket, you cannot enter. I arrived before 10:30 am, and while there was a line up it moved quickly. There was even some entertainment as the police on duty (yep, they have popo patrolling the entire area) who reminded everyone to write their name on the ticket so as not to hold up the line. Repeatedly. LOL
After my last experience I felt much more comfortable moving around the space, and I felt like my browsing was more efficient. I knew roughly where the points of interest were, which helped me navigate through all the rooms relatively quickly. It so happened that what I was after was in fact there, the old style pigment jars.. yay! I’ve got a lot of pressing to do now. By far though, the lip products were a great deal.. they were all $10 each and buy one get one free! Good times I say, good times.
Warehouse Haulage
I also managed to pick up the free gift and charity bag. The charity bags are fantastic, they cost $5 and the full proceeds to to charity. My bag contained a pearlglide eye liner, an eye shadow, a lipstick and a blush.. for $5! The free gift was a Mineralized Skin Finish in Perfect Topping, a limited edition item from last year’s Sugarsweet collection.
If you have any questions about the sale or any of the products, just let me know. Enjoy the photos. :]

Wow, what a great haul! I got some of the same lashes as you, but I couldn’t figure out what numbers they were! Never bought lashes before so maybe I’m just totally missing it or you just know the numbers and it really isn’t on the package anywhere. You’re lucky you got that Pink Swoon blush, by the time I went in line for it, they told me it was sold out. Lots of great stuff! I might make a more detailed post about my haul, lots of people were asking for it. Enjoy all your stuff!
Thanks. :]
The numbers for the lashes are on the side of the package, they’re quite small.. but they were on all of mine. I’d love to see a detailed post!
love the collection!
Thanks!
hi i just wanted to know wht r the prices for the lipsticks and perfumes.r the prices for lipstick under or 5 and the price of perfumes
thanks
Hi. :]
The lip products were $10, but it was buy one get one free.. so in the end they ended up being $5 each. The perfume I picked up was $12.
Now THAT’S what I call haulage!! Just out of interest, HOW do you get invited and approx how many people show up?
All Lauder employees are given invitations and they are also given out to various companies that do business with them. The number that go out is pretty high, but in my experience most permanent employees don’t seem to go, I suppose because of the gratis. As far as getting them, it’s about who you know.. or who you’re willing to ask. Some local sites post them for sale and I’ve seen them sell anywhere from $20 to $50.. which is insane.
Thats one SERIOUS HAUL…amazing!!!
I was counting down the days.. LOL
Thanks for stopping by. :]
girl you got yourself some amazing stuff! Enjoy them all
I really couldn’t make it this time eventhough I had a ticket but for sure I’ll go to the next one. Do you know when the next one is?
I will, thank you! :]
I imagine it will be some time in June, although I couldn’t say when exactly.
Wow!! What an awesome haul!! I want to attend one of these sales. Take me with you next time. LOL btw those little fix + are so cute
They’re definitely an experience. There is something almost decadent about heavily discounted makeup.. it’s a joy. LOL

Wow. Great haul and pics. I need to find my way to one of these sales one day! The Estee lauder long island sale doesn’t compare.
Really? I always assumed it’d be the same or better at the Long Island sale. Maybe it has to do with lots of things being sent to CCO’s.. which we don’t have here?
And thanks for dropping by! :]
*Thud* Drooling over your haul.
I can’t afford to go often, but when I do.. I go big. LOL ;]
I’m impressed! It’s nice to see someone very passionate about what they do. Trust all your future posts turn out as well. Thanks!
Wow ! That’s an amazing HUGE haul !!! I went in March too and for sure I didn’t get that many !!! i am jealous hahaha. How much did you spend ?
Thanks for following my blog ! by the way, I really love how your blog is organized. It looks amazing and neat.
Thank you, I’m still getting used to the new layout. :]
LOL ..yea, it was definitely a big haul. Shortly afterward I went into ‘no-buy’ mode.. I think it ended up somewhere around $500.

Thanks Ashley, I’m glad to hear that you enjoy the blog. :]
