Try’em out Tuesday (or Wednesday) – Costco edition..

Costco is literally one of the happiest places on earth! For those of you who don’t regularly experience this wonderland..well your missing out! I can honestly say that even amidst all the crowds of fellow costcoers, trying to weave the massive carts through all the crazy bulk buying consumers, when I enter Costco I feel a surge of energy I can’t explain. Maybe it’s the free food you get to indulge in while shopping or the crazy amounts of toilet paper you can buy at one time..whatever it is I can’t stay away!

As a child I loved going to this huge warehouse place full of tons and tons of treasures…with hugely tall shelves (hey I was under 5ft everything was huge)! As I got older and was able to drive I soon became the official costco runner of the family! you want to know the best part of that gig…well i’ll tell you..I could buy all this cool stuff with my parents money (cha ching)!

When I got married I didn’t feel like a complete adult until I got my first costco membership with the hubs (thanks to the generous giving of my Gram)! One of the things I really enjoy about Costco is the fact that although they each one is a little different, when inside it is hard to tell the difference between the Bakersfield, CA costco and the Mt. Laurel, NJ costco. It makes me feel closer to home (except that now i’m pay for the fun treasures..but hey at least I get free food)!

Along with having a lot of good priced bulk deals, costco also carries it’s own line of products called Kirkland. I have used a lot of the Kirkland brand it have been very pleased. Now I would like to introduce to all you lovely bloggers heck of a deal produced by Kirkland…

That’s right ladies, i’m talking makeup here! This Natural beauty mineral color collection comes complete with a loose powder foundation and foundation brush, bronzer and bronzer brush, three loose eye powders, eyeliner, eye shadow base, and two eye shadow brushes. Oh and don’t let me forget the best part .. in the store it retails for about $25.00! Now where else can you get all that makeup for that price?!

So I know what you are all thinking…yeah that’s a good price but how well does it work?

I have the answer to that too! After using numerous loose powder eye shadows and powders such as bare minerals and benefit, I can honestly say that this performs right up there with them (for a fraction of the cost)! It comes in light and medium, I use the light and with a very fair complexion it matches just right. The  loose powder blends really well and it has lasted me for over two months so far. I give this product an A!

Costco once again you prove why I love you! Go check it out ladies and for gosh sake go eat some free samples!

Have a great tuesday/wednesday!

  1. I love finding great deals at wholesale stores! I'm more of a Sam's Club girl, and I have recently spotted an amazing trenchcoat by London Fog for 25 dollars! I really need to go back and pick it up!

  3. Thank you for once again reading my mind!! I saw it the other day when I was there (and yes, there is just something fun about Costco, I agree! :) and I wanted to try it, but was a little reserved about it. But my co-worker wears it too and she likes it so I think I'm gonna check it out next time I need to buy powder!

  6. I miss Costco! The ability to buy the necessities in bulk and at a discount is one of the most under rated benefits of living in N.America.

  7. Ahh, I'm in love with Costco. Makes me sad that there's none around here--only a Sam's Club. Inferior. Pff. :(
