I arrived here at 8:45am and there were about 250 people in front of me, allowing me to get in around 10am. Not bad, but there were so many people that got off the line before me because they were going to be late for work. I feel that attending sample sales on the days that you work are such bad ideas because you have no clue when you will be in the doors. If you made it in, you really did survived lol.
I missed the first annual Peach and Lily sample sale last year so I attended this year at the much larger rented warehouse ground floor space at Stollway at 250 W 39th St. The hours were from 8 am - 10 pm or until supplies last today. I heard that the first girl was here about 6:30am - that's dedication! No point in RSVP-ing because everyone was getting on the line and going in at an ordering fashion. Once in, there was a mandatory bag check on the right. I didn't bring any bags so I just grab a Peach and Lily tote and bypassed that line and started shopping.
The staff was organized and restocking and maintaining order allowing people to shop for 20 minutes. To be honest, that was more than enough time to look at the products. The products were all priced with colored stickers so you knew the prices without having to waste time asking the staff! The prices were straight forwarded-$3, $6, $10, $15, $22, $35. I wasn't as lucky to get some of the $35 products that I was hoping for, but that's ok. There were more than plenty other options to choose from.
- Lagom Cellus Deep Moisture Cream - $29 retail - perfect for winter time
- MayCoop Mini Raw Sauce - retail $14 - wasn't happy that they didn't have the full-sized product.
- MayCoop Raw Moisturizer $40 retail - 80ml - good for all skin (perfect for summer)
- Be the skin - Botanical Nutrition Power Toner - $29 retail 150ml- perfect for dry skin

- The Lotus Leaf and Aloe Calming Serum $52 retail 70ml - best for this summer's bad sun rays
- Shangpree S-energy long lasting concentrated serum $120 retail 30ml - good for sensitive and aging skin
- Tosowoong TimeShift First Essence AP Therapy - 150ml I didn't see this on their website, but the packaging looks like a dupe for the SK-II
- Primera Massage Cream - I think I got the last one. I'm a fan of this brand but I was surprised to see it here. I will use this as a body cream for this upcoming winter.
I think I purchased enough skincare for this upcoming winter and summer seasons to come!
Happy Shopping!
