Designer perfume and the Shark CryoGlow mask are two of the best things I bought at Costco this year.

I've worked at Costco for 20 years, and always love browsing the aisles for the best new items.
One of the best things I bought there this year was the Odessa lift-top vanity.
I'm glad I bought the Shark CryoGlow mask, designer fragrances, and Oikos vanilla protein shakes.
As a Costco employee of 20 years, I love shopping the aisles for the best new items each month. Throughout the year, I turn to the store for great food, home, and personal care items.
This year, I bought a lot of great things from Costco, from skincare products to a new watercooler. Here are eight of the best purchases I made.
I use the Shark CryoGlow mask every day.

The Shark CryoGlow is a skincare device that combines LED light therapy with under-eye cooling to address multiple skin concerns. Since buying it this year, I've used it every single day.
The bundle also includes a charging stand, a storage bag, a remote, a pillowcase, and clip-on under-eye pads.
This year, I purchased three designer fragrances at Costco.
Authentic and sourced from authorized distributors, you can typically choose from designers like Gucci, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, and more.
This year, I purchased three fragrances: "Her" by Burberry, "Flowerbomb" by Viktor & Rolf, and "Daisy" by Marc Jacobs.
The Oikos vanilla protein shakes make great after-workout snacks.

The Oikos vanilla protein shakes are always on my weekly shopping list. They make great on-the-go snacks after a workout, and supply 30 grams of protein per serving. Each box contains 18 drinks.
Krusteaz pancakes are so easy to make.
Veronica Thatcher
My family loves having pancakes on Saturday mornings, so having a big bag of Krusteaz mix comes in handy.
All I have to do to get light and fluffy pancakes is add cold water. This mix is a quick and easy way to enjoy breakfast with my family.
The Odessa lift-top vanity was my favorite purchase of the year.
Veronica Thatcher
The Odessa vanity was definitely my favorite purchase of the year.
This space-saving vanity is compact and doesn't take up too much space in my room. The sleek stool even tucks underneath the table and disguises itself as a set of drawers. It also has a lift-top LED mirror with six different settings, including three warm and three cool tones.
My favorite part is that it has a mix of standard plugs and USB ports, so I can charge my phone while getting ready.
I'm a big fan of the Suja Organic Immunity shots.
Veronica Thatcher
I love the Suja Organic Immunity shots because they're a convenient way to get my probiotics and vitamins in with one drink. I especially love stocking up on these during cold and flu season.
These wellness shots are organic, non-GMO, vegan, kosher, and gluten-free.
I'm glad I got to try the Stagg bourbon.
Veronica Thatcher
This year, I was excited to get my hands on a bottle of Stagg bourbon, which is typically hard to find at my store.
The whiskey is uncut and unfiltered, and comes straight from the barrel. It has smoky notes of dark chocolate, brown sugar, cherries, vanilla, and oak.
I love my Brio bottom-load watercooler.
Veronica Thatcher
Whenever we get watercoolers at my store, they tend to sell out very quickly.
I'm glad I purchased the Brio 740 series bottom-load watercooler, because I drink about a gallon of water a day, and it saves me a lot of money.
It can dispense hot, cold, or room-temperature water, and doesn't take up too much space in my kitchen.
