Who here doesn't like smelling good and saving money? (Rhetorical question :))…read more Perfumania is the place to do both. They carry both men and women's fragrances at fantastic prices that will save you money. The prices here are so much better than at the department stores. If they don't carry the fragrance you're looking for then go right next door to The Fragrance Outlet to see if they have it and/or compare prices. Very convenient! ****An added way to save is to ask if they have testers for sale. Not the used ones! They have unopened testers on the shelves on select fragrances. They're like the regular bottles in every way (including the spray tops) except that they don't have covers. I save the caps from my old bottles and use it on the new bottles that I buy.

The Cosmetics Company Store

The Cosmetics Company Store - Where Makeup Lovers Time Travel…read moreThis little shop at Waikele is a total gem. It's definitely not your giant beauty warehouse, but that's the charm--you walk in and instantly feel like you're on a treasure hunt. They've got MAC, Clinique, Estée Lauder, Too Faced, and other big names, but here's the fun part: a lot of it is from last season or limited runs. Think of it as a beauty time machine--you might spot that palette you missed when it first launched or a lipstick shade you thought was gone forever. The store itself is small, bright, and super clean. The staff? Friendly and helpful without hovering. The vibe is relaxed--no chaotic aisles or pushy upsells--just shelves waiting for you to dig in. Parking is a breeze (thank you, Waikele), so you can take your time and explore. If you're a makeup or skincare lover, this is like finding the VIP section of a sale rack--less "what's trending" and more "hidden gems worth bragging about." You never quite know what you'll leave with, but you'll feel like you scored.

Never really gave The Cosmetics Company Store much thought as I don't wear much make up with such sensitive skin and have all the work go to waste once I start sweat and work makes it for an interesting effect as it starts to smear. With sensitive skin I'm always on the look for cleanser and skin care as it can be costly though doesn't have to be and with places like this makes it a possible experience. It seems like the carry brands like Clinique, Mac, Origin, Estēe Lauder which I don't really use but did get a bit curious to the selections they have. Walking in there is a fun section #beautihaul a fun hashtag that's so true where you pick a bag of your choice and select 6 samples all for $15! So great for yourself...travel...or that extra something for a gift. Delightful staff that greets you though I had no questions they didn't follow or bother me as I browsed. Will keep this place in mind for future beauty items. Thank you!

If you're interested in looking to DEALAGES, just head on down to the Westside (in the Waipahu area) because the Waikele Premium Outlet stores is there! There are so many stores here, so when you do visit the Waikele Premium Outlet, hopefully you'll find a store that will appeal for you. As for me, a few of my favorite stores I like to visit is - the Lowe's hardware store, Reyn Spooner, & the Van's shoe store. Beside shopping, the outlet mall also has restaurants, a small food court, & numerous food trucks in the parking lot so finding something yummy to eat shouldn't be too hard. Parking here is a breeze, as the outlet mall has ample parking. If you don't have a car, I noticed a lot of tourist would catch a shuttle to this outlet mall. I guess you just gotta do your homework to see the transportation options before coming down here. Here's a link of the Waikele Outlet Mall - https://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlet/waikele/stores

So disappointing to have such beautiful, high quality products followed by such trash Employees…read more Both times I've gone in I'm greeted with stares and mute Staff. I could even be standing next to a Worker and met with nothing. They definitely are more enthusiastic with Tourist that are trying to bargain down the price like we're at the Swap Meet. Even the Ala Moana workers have a better demeaner towards Locals, I almost had to verbally remind them they work at the damn Outlet so please get off of whatever High Horse you think you're on/ Didn't feel like entertaining the sloppy and incompetent waste-of-space Employees, so decided to just go elsewhere for Christmas gifts.

Bargains with a Side of "Can I Help You?"…read more If you're a fan of Tory Burch, this outlet is where you can score shoes, bags, earrings, and clothes at prices that are still a splurge--but definitely kinder than the full retail store. The place is bright, spotless, and the mall has plenty of parking, so no stress there. Now, the sales team... let's just say they're enthusiastic. Very enthusiastic. I get it--maybe it's commission, maybe it's quotas--but every few steps someone is ready to "help" you find your perfect bag. For some, that's luxury service; for me, it's a sign to speed-shop and get out. Too bad because I would have like to take my time and shop. Because there was more sales associate then clients in the store I decided to leave before I got "helped again" so I left without purchasing anything.

The clothes themselves seem to be made of high quality materials. The appearance of the clothing items there seems nice as well, and the sale prices are incredibly low, so low that it makes you feel a little guilty for buying such nice items for so little money. Please share my review with your workers at the store, so that they can know that their kindness means more to some people than they probably thought.

Not only do they have a wide selection of clothing from men's, women's, and children, their price is also affordable. Every time I visit, the store is 40% off. Can't beat that! Their customer service is always excellent and consistent. The cashiers always greet you as you enter the store even though they're ringing up someone. Fitting room employees are always friendly and helpful. Gap is one of the store you won't see employees gossiping. They're always on the go and busy working. Way to go! It's all about professionalism. I appreciate that when I see it. I also love their clothing line. It's simple and easy as I like it. I don't need nothing glamorous or fancy. Their merchandises are always neatly displayed and the store is clean too.

Picking up prescriptions in Waipahu, Oahu, Hawaii…read more.. My cousin had his medication refilled at a different pharmacy which was really busy; had a crowded parking lot; and had long lines most of the time. The care home operator suggested that cousin switch to Walgreens. Ok... let's try it. We brought a handwritten prescription from cousin's PCP (primary care provider), and gave it to the pharmacist. I was afraid he wouldn't be able to read the doctor's writing, but the pharmacist knew this doctor and could interpret the scribbles. Yay! We had the current labels on the bottles of medication... just in case. After about 15 minutes, the cheerful, efficient pharmacist told us that only 1 of the 3 medications could refilled. Next time, it will be a breeze going to Walgreens instead of the other pharmacy! Thank you!

To make matters worse, the pharmacy worker did not want to help me get my covid booster. The pharmacist stepped in and told her to add me as a walk-in. She started grudgingly adding in my info and kept asking me my birthdate 6 times, if I was allergic to latex 6 times and my phone number 5 times. My husband was witness to it. I finally received my booster. I was going to give Waipahu Walgreens 2 stars but the main store cashier was so quick and courteous that I rated the store a 3. Later on I noticed that the pharmacy worker misspelled the street and wrote the wrong city and zip code on my covid card. She had my drivers license to look at. So Walgreens should have a more competent worker at the pharmacy because accuracy of spelling and copying info is important. Also a board on the exterior of the store looks like it is popping off the building.

My pick ups!

Since it is an outlet store, their selection can be limited at times, but they have a range of prices. I do enjoy their fun lines that have painted things on them. I personally like the quality of Coach compared to some of the other purses I've bought that were sometimes much more. I tend to look for the ones with no lining because lining tends to catch on my nails and rip.
