privot house and cos bar

I'm excited there's tons of these items on 30% clearance...I'm hoping to snatch them up when the price drops again...but they don't seem to be following the normal weekly clearance schedule. I asked one cashier about their markdown schedule and she was like "we don't have a markdown schedule, it's only when the system resets itself'....yea ok! anyone have any insights into these products?

I only tried a few things in the Cos Bar line. All the body products I got were Blueberry and White Tea scent.

The wipes are not great. They are big in size, and smell good, but they are tissue-thin and don't really do much but make your face feel damp.

The nail polish chips quick, but I still love the root beer color of the one I got.

The body wash was pretty good. Usually the novelty washes don't lather very well, but this one did and it smells really nice!

The body butter works well and really smells great on its own or paired with the body wash. It absorbs well and didn't feel sticky.

I would buy these on clearance, but I would not pay full price for them again. It was cool to try, but I didn't really feel like they were worth the price even though the prices were low. I didn't really see the connection between Cos Bar and the products other than the package print. The store is here in CO, and it's upscale spendy stuff- this Target stuff would be laughed off the shelves. Disappointed in the combining of these two!

Thanks for all the info! I got a couple things myself and thought they were ok, but I wasn't going to buy a ton. But if it gets reduced to 50% (hopefully soon) ill prob buy a couple more! I'm a sucker for the cute print but agree its not incredibly high quality so not even worth the full price.

The real cos bar sounds wonderful I wish I could go! I buy most things at sephora so I imagine it'd be something like that.

It's funny that the real cos bar is so much better because I'm in ct and that's where privot house is and it's the same way. I guess they tried to mimic both in an affordable way but failed because they were just released a few months ago and they're already trying to get rid of the stuff! I can appreciate the effort to make expensive stuff affordable and accessible to everyone but come on! Did you see the privot candles? I thought they were adorable but they were soooo horribly made ....just a typical cheap non fragrant candle with the outside covered with a paper/plastic type material that wasn't even put on right because every candle had large bubble gaps.

I didn't see them! That sounds really bad and tacky! The funny thing is that when I saw in O Mag that this line was coming out, I was obsessive about not forgetting. (I put a reminder in my phone too... ) I even went to the store at 8AM the day it was released because I thought the stuff would be snatched up for sure! Cut to a week after it came out, and I am back at Target noticing that the Cos Bar stuff had NOTHING gone but what I got that first day. And then I watched as it slowly started going on clearance. This week we were out of town, and I stopped into the Target there and even they had all the stuff on clearance. I agree with you on this marriage- HUGE failure. I hope this doesn't start a trend of bad cross-branding. Usually they are good at this!

Privot is down to 50% so I'm guessing cos bar will be too soon
