The Estee Lauder biannual bazaar has been a fun habit to me for the last 2 years.
I always stay away the first 3 days because although I do enjoy makeup and cosmetics I cannot stand the mayhem and I don't appreciate being run over or shoving and pushing.
On the other hand, going "late" means that there is space and time to look around and take my time but a lot of things are gone. Not that much though because the stuff works relentlessly to serve and restock the shelves, so there's always a bargain or two to find!
By saying bargain I mean ridiculous prices that make me wonder on the money we spend when we buy something for full price, but that's another story.
So, about 15:30 today I was there and there was no crowd, no waiting, no long lines to the cashiers.
There was something for everyone, in various price ranges.
As for the main brands I saw Estee Lauder, Mac, Clinique, Bobby Brown, Jo Malone, Origins, Puppa, La Prairie, lots of fragrances etc.
Here's what I got!
- Mac To the Beach body oil at 5€. I'm not sure if this is permanent or LE but it's a very pretty shimmery body oil, perfect for my light skin tone, there was also a deeper one but it was too dark for me.
- Mac Betty pigments grom the Archie's collection 4€ each, retail price 19€-20€. I was thrilled to see these, when the collection launched here I was debating whether I should get them but the price was too steep for me.
- Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Complex 29€ retail price 90€ (I asked the SA out of pure curiosity!). I 've never used it before but anything anti stress/aging/dehydration is useful, more so when it has such a strong reputation. We 'll see though.
I also got the little heart coin purse from the Mac Archie's collection for 5€ retail price 25€, no picture because it's all wrapped up and I can't find mine!
Big bummer thought I didn't find my beloved Make a Difference toner by Origins, I got it last time for 9€, if I knew I would like it that much I would have bought 3-4 bottles!
Would I go again next time? Definitely!
Do I think you should go if you are nearby? What are you waiting for?
It is open until Wednesday, working hours 11:00 - 20:00.
Here are some more photos.
Here are my previous visits:

That's all for now, I hope you are all well and thriving!
