Girl! In case you were wondering where the discounted luxury product party’s at, it’s at Costco, LOL!
I was aimlessly meandering around the vitamin and supplement and beauty product aisles when I spotted something “Oribe” on a shelf, which was crazy because I’ve only seen Oribe at salons.
But Costco is selling full-sized 3.4-oz. bottles of Côte d’Azur Hair and Body Oil for $29.97 — bottles that normally sell for $75 a pop.
That’s over half off, dude!
I wasn’t even there expecting to find a deal like that. I went because I’d heard that my favorite protein drinks were on sale for 20% off (public service announcement), but you know how it is… Costco. There’s those lines, and it’s almost impossible to go in and grab one thing and leave. It just feels totally wrong to me on so many levels. You gotta walk around, have some quinoa samples, check out the deals on extra large wedges of sharp cheddar cheese, read some book covers, and contemplate buying at least one 10-pack of underwear, or a leather recliner, or a lemon tree.
That’s just how it is when we’re talking about Costco. You need to take it aaall in and embrace the chaos, because sometimes that leads to epic discoveries and great beauty deals.
I was severely tempted, because you know how I feel about Oribe (and I’ve never tried the Côte d’Azur Hair and Body Oil before), but I passed on it this time because I still have almost a full bottle of Aveda Shampure hair and body oil to finish. But if it’s still there next time I go, I’m grabbing a bottle.
I do love the Côte d’Azur body scrub, which smells exactly like a first class ticket to Bora Bora with a two-week stay at the St. Regis to me.
There were also full-sized cans of Oribe Superfine Hair Spray for $19.97 each (regularly $36 everywhere else), which I was less excited about, but still… Sale!
My lizard brain wonders if these are legit Oribe products and not the knockoffs that have been known to end up at discount stores like TJ Maxx and Marshalls, but Costco’s a big company (I mean, dude, they sell diamond engagement rings!), so I’m assuming they aren’t fake.
So, yeah, next time you’re at Costco buying a 50-pound bag of kitty kibble, be sure to swing by the beauty section. Oh, and if you happen to ever see the $69 Oribe Gold Lust Pre-Shampoo Intensive Treatment on sale while you’re there, please let me know, because I would jump at the chance to grab a jar of that on discount.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

I’m not sure if the US’s Costco uses the same pricing, but in Canada if a price at Costco ends in $x.97, it means that it’s a clearance item. Consider stocking up!
Lexi says
Damn, I really need to renew my membership card now!
Jen says
I read that when there’s an “*” in the upper right-hand corner of the price label, it’s a seasonal product– so don’t wait too long!
Ruchita says
Haha, how random! Your description of the Côte d’Azur Polishing Body Scrub sounds amazing. I would buy that in a second if I saw it on sale at Costco!
Isabella says
we love Costco
was there this weekend
Karen says
Oh, cool! Did you find anything good?
Shin Ae says
WHAT.
I’m heading there posthaste.
Karen says
YES! Let me know if you see any other Oribe products. I’m hoping to find shampoo, conditioner and that hair mask I love so much, LOL!
Lisa says
My local Costco carries Glamglow products
Karen says
How cool! I saw Chanel moisturizer at mine over the holidays.
Kim says
I was just going to say “didn’t you find some Chanel the last time you were there?”. Your Costco is a goldmine. We have one about an hour away that I’ve never been to. Our local club is Sam’s but I haven’t seen any luxury items there. There are tons of diverters who sell salon products to non-professional retailers but packaging for, and making any money with, clubs is a challenge. I’m betting on it being authentic Oribe. 🙂
Van says
Costco.com had Oribe products as well as other luxury beauty (makeup and skincare) available at 30% or more off the retail price. Check every couple of weeks as the selection changes quite often. I’ve seen SKII, Chanel, Guerlain, Clarins, Shiseido and more brands online and have ordered many times. It’s the real deal!
