Ottawa shoppers looking to get a head start on holiday stocking stuffers have a reason to head to the airport area this week. The Estée Lauder Warehouse Sale is running October 1 to 4 at the Cohere Centre, Hall 1, located at 4899 Uplands Drive, with discounts of 50% off and more on a lineup of well-known beauty brands.
According to a post from local account @theottawainsider, shoppers can expect deals across MAC Cosmetics, Estée Lauder, Clinique, Too Faced, Tom Ford Beauty, Origins and other brands under the Estée Lauder umbrella. The post notes some lipsticks are marked down to as little as $10, which is a steep cut from retail pricing on those lines.
When and where
The sale runs over four days:
- Thursday, October 1: 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
- Friday, October 2: 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
- Saturday, October 3: 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
- Sunday, October 4: 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
It's taking place at the Cohere Centre, Hall 1, at 4899 Uplands Drive, near the Ottawa International Airport. Admission is free, so there's no cost to get in and browse before deciding what to buy.
Why it's worth a trip
Warehouse sales like this one tend to draw a crowd in Ottawa, especially heading into the fall and winter months when people start thinking about holiday gifts. With brands like Clinique and Tom Ford Beauty rarely discounted this heavily at retail counters, a sale offering 50% off or more is a notable opportunity for anyone who wears makeup or skincare from these lines, or who's shopping for someone who does.
Given the sale runs through Sunday, there's still time this week to plan a visit, whether that means popping in after work on a weekday evening or making a weekend trip out of it. Given the free admission and wide range of brands involved, it's the kind of event that's easy to work into an already busy week.
