Prince William, VA CCO (Potomac Mills)
Hi.
Has anyone made a recent or not-so-recent trip to this outlet? I'm thinking of going but don't want to waste the gas unless I'm pretty sure there's a good selection of MAC.
thanks!

Re: Potomac Mills CCO?
My friend goes there all the time, and we get stuff. However, it seems it's not updated a lot.

Re: Potomac Mills CCO?
Since I'm fairly new, the lack of update wouldn't bother me too much. Appreciate your reply! : )

Re: Potomac Mills CCO?
Sure thing! =]
They also had a stick foundation and the bronzing plastic bottles of foundationm, some of the older lip-mixes, lipglass tasties, and sheer color extracts I believe. Hope this helps!

Re: Prince William, VA CCO (Potomac Mills)
I was just here today and they seemed to have a good bit of stuff. Here is what I remember:
Petit-glosses from Sweetie Cakes
Tons of stuff from the Holiday Collection: intense eye palette, cool eye palette, 2 lip palettes, four lip sets (pink, tan, peach, red), basic brush set, shadestick set, both lipglass sets.
Patternmaker cool eye palette, tan lip palette and basic brush set.
About 10 different fluidlines and 20 different eyeshadows including delphic f/l, nightfish f/l, aquavert e/s and black tied e/s from lure.
That's about all I can remember. My hubby said I had exactly 10 minutes to shop, so I couldn't just stand there and take it all in. I just grabbed the two lipglass sets and left. Good luck!

10 minutes? You did pretty well to remember all that then.
Thanks!

Re: Prince William, VA CCO (Potomac Mills)
I just went yesterday. Seriously, it was a waste of 10 minutes.
They had concealer tubes/pots (maybe 4 different shades to choose from), foundations, lip gelees/glasses/lipsticks, a whole bunch of eyeshadows that even I have never heard of, maybe 4 pigments (blue, and more that i've never heard of), and everything looked used except for the shadows. (my sister said that they had the new stuff behind the counter, but i don't understand why all the gross stuff that looked used had price tags on them)
it was just a waste of time. i wanted to leave at least with an eyeshadow, and none of them were even worth me buying.
maybe i expected too much out of the store...or maybe they need to get a shipment in.

Re: Prince William, VA CCO (Potomac Mills)
I had a great experience at this outlet, unlike my Leesburg experience.
They had a ton of stuff plus their customer service was very nice! I'm actually planning to go back tomorrow.
Products I could remember:
Foundation
-Studio Mist
-Studio Stick
-Studio Fix (some)
Concealer
-Palettes
-Studio Finish Pots
Blush
-Gingerly
-Some other color I can't remember, it looked a little bit like Emote.
Pigments
-Aire-De-Blu
-Blue
-Entremauve
-Frost (out of stock)
-Kitschmas
-Nightlight (i think)
-Pastorale
Shadesticks
-Gentle Lentil
-Sea Me
-Sharkskin
-Shimmermint
-Taupographic
-Overcast
Shadows:
-Fountainbleu
-Lavender Sky
-Light Ray
-Magic Dust
-Pink Source
-Rite of Spring
-Few others I can't recall
Other MAC items:
-A lot of glasses, lipsticks, studio mist (not the foundation), couple of paints, removers, lotions, bags, cases, polishes, lip palettes, etc.
They also had a ton of nice Clinique, Stila, Prescriptives, Bobbi Brown, Estee Lauder, perfumes, etc. I know those brands are expected but after my Leesburg experience I was really impressed!
I think it's all about when you go, if you're lucky enough to go after they have a shipment you can probably find a lot of fun stuff! :nod:
I ended up getting the concealer palette, two shadesticks, five pigments, and six shadows for just under $171.00, that includes tax! :cartwheel:
