Last January, I went to Mitsui Outlet near KLIA, Sepang to buy some travelling stuff and I thought of checking out The Cosmetic Company Store (CCS), located at the ground floor. I was definitely curious to see what they had since I haven't been there for ages. CCS is a discounted store for brands owned by Estee Lauder like MAC, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Lab Series, and Origins. They have another store in Johor Premium Outlet (Read my post on JPO here) but that's going to take me at least 3-4 hours driving from Melaka to Kulai, Johor. Sepang is definitely much nearer to me.
As you can tell from the picture above, I focused mainly on lipsticks because I do not own a lot of them, especially from the higher end brands. I ended up walking away with Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Shine in 470 Sakura Blossom, Estee Lauder Signature Hydra Lustre Lipstick in 13 Cocoa Rose and also a MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick in the shade Impressive.
2 lipsticks are from Estee Lauder! I should mention that I did not own any Estee Lauder items before, so I know pretty much nothing about the brand. By the time I was at Mitsui earlier of this year, they offered quite a decent amount of EL lipsticks with different shades. Of course, I went for something more or less the same as my natural lip colour.
The shade SIG 13 Cocoa Rose from their signature line caught me at first. The colour is beautiful. I think it's currently available in Malaysia for RM90+ but I paid RM67 at CCS. I don't think that was too bad of a deal. Same goes to the Pure Color Envy Shine Lipstick which retails at RM103 but I got it for RM77. None of these lipsticks I bought passed the 2 years manufacturing date and I'm quite surprised at how new my MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick is! July 2015- that's like less than a year. The lipstick is marked down to RM57 each from originally RM76.
To be honest, although it's been almost 3 months already, I haven't tried any of these lipsticks on my lips, but I think I'm very happy and satisfied with my purchases. I literally just swatched Cocoa Rose yesterday for the blog's picture, okay? lol.
Please let me know if you would like a full review on anything I mentioned, though it might take a while since I need to wear them often before voicing out my solid opinions. I loved my experience shopping at the CCS Mitsui (or also known as CCO, the 'O' stands for Outlet), I wish it was closer than an hour from where I'm currently living haha.
Mitsui Outlet Park is located just 6km away from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and KLIA2, Sepang. Open daily from 10:00am to 10:00pm. You can find The Cosmetic Company Store at the ground floor, Lot No: G42, next to Isetan Outlet Store.

Hahahahah yup, just started using Cocoa Rose yesterday. It's my favourite shade among those 3.
Thanks Amy! They are very gorgeous indeed! （´・｀ ）♡
I know right? That's one of the reasons why I bought it. (´∀｀)♡
Hi Mitch, Sakura Blossom actually reminds me of the Innisfree Creammellow Lipstick (Latte Brown) but a shade lighter. :D
They all look gorgeous especially the shades!
They truly are, Resh! Have you tried any of them? :)
