Who doesn't love a great sale? And a great beauty sale..well even better! But how does a sale impact our behaviour and are we more likely to buy a heap of stuff just because it's on a sale table rather than because it's what we really need?
Actually that said, I'm not a great sale girl, mostly becaues I really dislike queuing, and combine that with the King of BR's passionate hate for crowds, and you can back it in that we're never going to be spending our holidays at the Harrods Christmas sale! But what about you? What are your sale behaviour and habits?
- Are you a "first inner?" One of those people you see on the telly camping outside the store in your sleeping bag the night before?
- Or maybe you're an "in and outer?" Dive in, grab the one thing you covert and then leave.
- Hands if your'e an overspender! It's cheap so you need 12 different mascara's right? And you've always wanted to try the VJazzler..you've just been waiting for it to come on sale.
- How about a squeezer? That's right - you shoehorn your self into shoes and clothes that really you'd be better leaving for someone else..just because they've got $10 on them.
As usual there is a reason for introducing this subject.
CS Company, one of our most fabulous clients, is having their annual warehouse sale - a huge cosmetic and fragrance sale, NEXT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY 5TH & 6TH of December.
It's not to be missed, there's going to be huge discounts on:
Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, Gucci. Bulgari, Dolce & Gabbana, Joico, Vera Wang, Marc Jacobs, Joop, Lacoste, Playboy, Max Factor, Rimmel, Natio, Covergirl, Sally Hansen, St Tropez, FUDGE, Adidas and many MORE.
And what's more, you need to stay close next week as given i'm the patron saint of the "hate of queuing" i've talked the lovely Amanda from CS Company, into giving us 10 "go straight to the head of the queue" passes. I that is not enough to make your head spin, one lucky BR'er will also win $200.00 to spend on the day. We will advise the details of how to be into win next week.
For more details on the sale location you can go to their FB page here:
It is being held in Auckland, but maybe if you don't live in Auckland, you can pass it on to someone you know who does, with the pay off being they need to get something for you!
So while we excitedly wait for next weekend to roll around, tell us what your sale shopping habits are below
I do love sales, but I think that I can resist (a little anyway). In order to slow down my purchases, I always walk away once and give myself time to reconsider.
