Just the other day, I was lucky enough to attend the L’Oréal 2014 warehouse Spring sale here in Montréal. It was my first time going to this event, and although I ended up having to go alone, I had a great time!
I went in not knowing what to expect. Anyone that is close to me knows that I’m not the really into makeup and fashion. Sure, I like to dress nice and every once in a while I will put on some makeup (all the while praying I don’t end up looking like a clown). But will I ever become one of those fashion/beauty gurus? No! And I’m perfectly fine with that because I know how to make Crème brûlée! 😉
The L’Oréal warehouse spring sale is a huge inventory sale of beauty related products at pretty amazing discounts. The tickets are usually given out to businesses and them, in turn, give them out to their employees. I was lucky enough to get one from my 9-5.
Each ticket are good for two visits, and you can bring a guest. Below is a list of some of the beauty brands that were available for purchase:
- L’Oréal Paris
- Garnier
- Lancôme
- Ralph Lauren
- Yves Saint-Laurent
- La Roche-Posay
- Essie
- Giorgio Armani
- Maybelline New York
- Biotherm
- Vichy
The item that caught my attention was the Essie nail polish at 4.94* (5$) If you are a nail polish hoarder like myself, then you know that it is a pretty sweet deal. Essie’s nail polish usually goes for 9$ at the local drug store (crazy!).
I stock up on shampoo for the little man and his papa. I was unable to get any makeup for my complexion type, but I did get some perfume (not picture) and a few other items.
A lot of the items pictured above ranged anywhere from 2$-5$
The 2014 warehouse sale is running until the 25th of May, and they have it every year!
I didn’t take a lot of pictures because I was having too much fun!
I would say this, though, if you are in the habit of buying these beauty products, then you would benefit from this event. On the other hand, if you have a shopping problem (guilty!) you are better off staying away.
In the next few weeks, I will be trying some of these items, and I may do an update on the ones that I like best so be sure to come back to read all about it! =)

I honestly had no idea there was something like this sale out there! I don’t wear a lot of makeup myself either but I do enjoy dolling up every now and again. I’m also FAR from a beauty/fashion enthusiast. LOL

I love make up and fashion I am on a tight budget being adult now can not splurge as often but this is an event I’d love to go to. Being Canadian I grew up going to shoppers drugmart in Toronto I took part in assisting 9 hair stylist at the Toronto fashionshow and I loved it. I love makeup when I moved I pared down my make up haul stash and now have room for fresh new products. those prices are clearance items that is great. too bad there wasn’t much to match your skin complexion which im shocked because all those brands make some amazing tanners, bronsers and would look so pretty with your skin tone.
you made some great purchases and yes id love to see how it looks on you.
Franc Ramon says

Looks like you had a great time. You can never have too much makeup right.? I heard that L’Oreal is really Lancome so if you cant’ afford the prices in the mall go to the local drug store its cheaper and made by the same manufacturer. Looks like you got a tone of deals.

The Chef's Wife | Anne @TheSatEvePot says
Very cool! I rarely leave the house without a little bit of makeup and my favorite is eye makeup but I’ll never be a fashion/makeup guru either!! I’m more into makeup than style too. I always say I”ll choose comfort over style any day. I’m not a slob either but if it’s being “in style” or being comfortable, I’m going with comfortable which is why I don’t wear heels anymore even though I’m super petite. 🙂
