Come Take a Tour Of The Cosmetic Market With Me!

So if you are a long time reader of my blog, these images might look slightly familiar to you. Because I have certainly blogged about the Cosmetic Market before. Its one of my favourite places in NYC. And it never ceases to amaze me that people still don't know this store exists!

Now last time I blogged about it, I showed pictures of the store, similar to these ones:

But I realize this really doesn't show off just how much fun this store is. So this time instead of just taking some photos as seen above, I decided to vlog the trip!

So if you want to really get a feel for the store, here you go!!

Cosmetic Market - A Hidden Gem In NYC

It does not cease to amaze and shock me that so many people do not know that the Cosmetic Market exists! REALLY??? Picture a store with the concept of TJ Maxx, Winners or Marshalls but only for cosmetics! I was walking through Sephora Times Square right after shopping and was carrying a Cosmetic Market bag when two different employees from Sephora stopped me to ask me where the store was and what kind of store it was.

Now lets get real. Just like at Marshalls or Winners, sometimes you find tons, sometimes not so much. I always find SOMETHING. But after years of going there, some trips are better than others. And the testers are not so cared for and sometimes kind of scary. A totally acceptable trade off for amazing deals! Essie polishes at 3.99! Stila shadows for 3.99!! YES PLEASE!!!

The slogan THE BEST FOR LESS along with word Cosmetic caught their attention. They rooted through my bag and got squealed the entire time! And it took all I had not to scream at them HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS STORE EXISTS!!!!!?????

I had to take some photos for you all!
