The only reason I love the Designer Outlet so much is for the Cosmetic Company Outlet! If you don't know what it is, its owned by the Estee Lauder company so sells brands by them for discounted prices i.e Mac, Clinique and Origins... I think there is only three of these shops floating around the UK. So i definitely wasn't planning on missing out on shopping in one!
They can be very hit and miss as they never know what stock they're going to get, normally with the MAC its older limited edition stock with random lipsticks and eye-shadows, so i was happy with what i could find. I ended up picking up 3 things, paramount lipstick, 217 eye-shadow brush and Goldbit eye-shadow, Price wise I saved about £12.50 compared to RRT value and both the lipstick and brush I'd actually wanted for a while so I was very happy when i saw them!
The rest of the stuff i picked up from the Outlet was actually skincare, recently my skin has changed quite a bit so all the products i owned weren't working for me anymore! I've been wanting to try Origins Skincare for quite some time so I saved my pennies knowing i could get it cheaper in the outlet. I ended up with the Out of Trouble Mask, Make A Difference Cleanser and GinZing moisturisers. So far I'm actually struggling with some of them, I seem to have had a reaction to one of them and my skin is now super dry and bumpy, I'm still trying to figure out which it is. I might pop up a review once I've tested them all more!
I actually ended up nipping around the corner to Debenhams after the Outlet and managed to find the Gwen for Urban Decay Lipstick in the shade Ex Girlfriend, on sale for £11 instead of £16 so i thought I'd include it in this haul as it was discounted like the other items! I think i must of been having a very lucky shopping day!
Overall I'm quite happy with my little CCO Haul and can't wait until I have the chance to visit another store as its a beauty lovers paradise! x
