Attention Make-Up Lovers: Designer Fragrance & Cosmetic Co.

If you live near an outlet, chances are that you live near a DF&CCO store.  If you live in NYC, there are several DF&CCO stores near you.  DF&CCO stores are basically Lancome outlets.  For me, that means discount Kiehl's and discount Shu Uemura because Lancome owns them both.  While I don't wear a huge amount of make-up, the deals are really hard to pass.  Think $3 bins.  Or $10-for-4-items deals.  My best purchase was this gunmetal Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler for $10.  Usually, it retails for $19.  I use this eyelash curler daily.  (And yes, I ended up stocking up so I now I have four of them.)

Plus, DF&CCO is always running some sort of sale or promotion.  Here are the three NYC locations:

• Midtown:  575 Fifth Ave (near 47th St), New York, NY 10017
• (212) 984-4682
• Downtown:  111 Broadway (near Thames St), New York, NY 10006
• (212) 267-2825
• Midtown: 1285 Sixth Ave (near 51st St) , New York, 10019
• (212) 262-0523

Note:  If you're going to Century 21 that means you in the mood for bargain hunting.  You might as well mosey on to the DF&CCO nearby at 111 Broadway for some more bargain hunting.
