Great prices on dubious, off-the-truck, mismatched, discontinued, low and high end cosmetic supplies and toiletries. Its like the Marshalls or TJ Maxx for makeup. If you search for half an hour, you might have a decent or amazing find. Or you leave with nothing. Some of the items are wrapped in larger containers, wrapped in packing tape or didnt have a box at all. Its great when you think of the savings (30-50%!) And sad when you look at the beautiful items sold without their luster. Similar to being sold MAC on the streets of Washington heights from a fold out table. I found Estee Lauder and Lancome creams, Tresemme shampoos, Burt Bee tinted chapstick, Burt Bee acne treatment and dead sea wipes and facial masks. I was skeptical of the creams. I care about my face and didnt want a dubious facial cream leaving a mark. Be careful when you buy and check the expiration date! So I bought the Tresemme shampoo and the tinted lip balm (for $3.99 instead of $6.69). The feeling of the place is off too. The cashiers arent friendly, they are just doing their job. The items are stocked haphazardly, as if a kid ran through the aisles knocking products over. Weird. I might come back for the thrill of finding a bargain.

This is a place where you enter, you browse the individual aisles, and if you like what you see, you pick it up, pay for it, and be on your merry way. This isnt a place for customer service (expect for when you need one of the guys in the back to reach for something thats too high). You see something, get it because it may not be there when you return. Dont ask if they have something in the back. This isnt the store for it. The cashiers in the front let you shop in peace. Thank goodness. If you need hand-holding, if you have to ask a lot of questions, there are other stores for that. This isnt it. This is for people who know a good deal when they see one. This place has great products (lots that have been discontinued or market packaging has been updated) at really great prices. What more do you need? The aisles are narrow because the store tries to carry as much as possible in a small space. If someone is in your way, just politely say excuse me and move on through. Designer brands, stuff for kids, cookbooks, small kitchenware, and of course cosmetics. This is a NY treasure.

Some of the comments here are ridiculous. I shop here all the time and have no bad experiences, and also find brands that are 2 to 3 times as much in Lord and Taylor and other department stores. BIG CORRECTION: I had previously found the service here excellent, but today May 16, 2016, I found four new service people, all women, in the store, and all were impossibly rude and unhelpful. The woman who usually is in the aisles to help (a blondish, short woman of Latin origin) is gone and the one today was kneeling down each time I passed (three times) on her cell phone and when I asked for help just waved her arms. I went to the desk where everyone was rude, pointing instead of showing. When I said I cant find what Im looking for please show me, one did but with great reluctance and rudeness. Not sure Ill go back here again. Owner, please take note, your current employees will chase people away rather than bring them back. Horrible, horrible service.

You can get lots of stuff here for pretty decent prices AND try most of the makeup on. Though there are some name brands like Stila, I mostly saw Maybelline and other popular drug store brands here. The great thing about that is you can finally try on all that stuff cause you can never tell what the actual color is in the store. I really like the hair section and can find some of my favorite conditioners here on the cheap (I have natural hair so I go through A LOT of this stuff). Theres a childrens section with out of the ordinary items that make great inexpensive gifts (the kind you keep around the office in case the boss daughter comes in). Also nice deals on perfumes and theres even some cakes and candy in the back on the right side. Its a little out of the way for me and closes a little early but whenever Im in the area I cant help but stop by.

Fui há 2 anos, e foi uma das melhores experiências de compras em NY. São cosméticos descontinuados, mas achei muita coisa que é vendida normalmente nas farmácias, só que com preços maravilhosos. Recomendo para quem é fã de maquiagem mesmo, apesar de na loja haver outros tipos de produtos. Bom para comprar souvenirs, como garrafinhas térmicas, cobertores, e outras utilidades.

I been here a couple of times since I work fairly close. The shelves are usually always stocked, organized and clean. A bit before closing time, you see an employee walking down the aisle cleaning. Although, be sure to go before closing time, cause the employees tend to have a bit of an attitude (more so one hour before closing time). The stock is constantly changing which is why if you see something you like, get it --- otherwise it might not be around the next time. They stock high end / drugstore brand makeup, nail polish, toys, random snacks, fragrances, home goods and random things you might only find at discount store.

"Muito barulho para pouca noz", vi várias dicas de blogueirinhas, e fato, sempre dicas furadas. Confie em sites sérios e responsáveis sobre viagem. Achei tudo que queria na drogaria da esquina (e tinha pela metade do preço no Walmart).

Много всякой дешевой косметики. И что порадовало так это сладости ! Цены дешевле чем в других магазинах, со сроком годности всё в порядке. Есть товары для детей и для дома. Фото купленных вкусеяшек)

The employees were very rude. They were eating behind to counter and not paying any attention to the customers. It smelled terrible from the food. They refused to get me a basket when my hands were full and when my grandmother asked a question they answered with a nasty attitude. They are of no help at all, Id rather pay the full price then have these people be rude.

Yes, rude employees. Some good deals, a lot of junk to sort through. Selling samples and really old stuff, kinda like a garage sale. The owner/manager was showing an employee how to make boxes perfectly straight on a shelf, he would double his business if he taught them to smile and say hello and get off their phones.

my friend went to the counter to pay received terrible service and left without her goods. I went to the counter unaware of this, received terrible service and left without the goods. We met outside to realise wed both been treated rudely. prices are amazing though.

Very rude staff, and bad first impression. If it were the manager that I interacted with that day he sets a poor example for his staff. I was completely turned off, and no longer bothered to spend my money when I can go to Ulta that has superior customer service.

One of favorite finds. I go here at least 3 or 4 times a year, if not more. Helps me stretch a dollar and stay looking great. Nice gift ideas. Coffee and chocolate and other specialty items in the back. A simple treasure trove of discount items of quality.
