Like 8 different paint pots (indianwood, constructivist, delft, moss scape, otherworldly, electro sky, artifact ---- no barestudy, blackground, or fresco rose though)
Like 4 Blushes - Loverush, Emote, Breath of Plum, Breezy

Plushlash and Zoom lash mascaras
Brow Powder sets
Mineralize SatinFinish Liquid Foundations
Belightful IPP
All 3 of the Sculpt & Shape duos
Brushes: 222, 134, 227, not a good variety of brushes
Shadesticks - beige-zing, corn, penny, royal hue, taupographic, there were more
They had 3 of the 2007 tendertones in a drawer if you ask to see them
(warm smile, take a hint, and the purple one (name??) - IMHO the '08 versions are infinitely better
They have like 12 slimshines
They have like 10 mattenes
12 liquid last liners
TONS of Earthy Riches mineralized eyeshadows - like 20, seriously,
they also had Family Silver and something else, can't remember

Skincare: cleanse off oil, charged waters,
old pkg: - moisturelush, cremewash, green cleanser, microfinish, wipes,
some concealer sticks, foundation sticks, lipliners,
and of course a laundry list of lipsticks and glosses, some bags, some antiqutease lip sets in the glass case,

they also have the old pkg Bobbi Brown eyeshadows and blushes,

I picked up: Emote, Loverush, Orpheus liner, Plum Mate Lipglass liner, 2 spf50 p&p's, plushlash mascara, and a 222 brush - yay!!

Softnote! And yayyyy I'm going tomorrow to get it. That's where I got my first Softnote and it's getting low so I need a backup.

Thanks!

Passed by really quickly and noticed that they have violet pro pig and two reflects the very pink reflects and another light colored reflects (could have been transparent teal or pearl i was in a hurry so i didnt note it and couldnt even buy it (both items are also pro)

they also have the skin finishes from the N collection in dark medium and light

Does anyone know how much the lipglass and lipglosses cost? I actually found a store closer to my area that was like CCO, but they had brands that aren't from Estee Lauder. Their stock was AMAZING, too. I saw a lot of the Tokidoki things from Smashbox! I just wanted to compare to see if I would rather make a stop at the CCO or not. ;]

oooh, sounds interesting! where is it?

and i beleive the lipglosses are $10.

It's around the San Gabriel Valley, in a town called Alhambra. It's near Downtown L.A. I guess the prices are the same, hehe. I actually went to both today.

At the CCO there was quite a few things, nothing I was interested in, though. I didn't get the names, but ehh.
Tons of neutral colored paint pots, MSFs natural in light colors, Fix+, Charged Water, Gold Stroke, Smoke Signals, and that's all I can remember.

went there today.
picked up fix+ and golden olive pigment.

alot of studio fix liquid foundation.
spf liquid foundation
flashtrack e/s , pagan, clair de luna, some brown matte one, clarity
pigments the only addition i found in it is prolly some pink pigment and golden olive
2 shades of sculpt and shape duo
strobe cream
brushes are the same like always

thats all i could remember right now

Where in Alhambra, what store?

I'm kinda near Alhambra! Where is this store?

Is it this one:Melody's Makeup Outlet - Alhambra - Alhambra, CA 91801
The review says they have MAC, Shu!!!, Smashbox..etc. Wow...I wonder if the items here are real! How exciting.

I found a video on YouTube about the store:
and a blog post: Nessasarymakeup.com: Melody's Makeup Outlet Partay!

I hope they have real stuff! I'm gonna check it out ASAP.

It's on Second Street, right next Alhambra High. The address is 11 South Second Street. Everything there is legit. ;] I swatched one of the lipsticks they had and compared it to the one I had with me and they were identical. Same texture and everything.

Melody's is MUCH closer to me than the Ontario CCO... thanks for the heads up ladies... I might have to go shopping tomorrow.

Thanks everyone!
