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.

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. 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.
