I could pinch myself that I missed this collection when it first launched. I just saw a few things at 2 CCO's in my area and got Heartless, Dark Deed, Strange Potion, Sinister and Cajun powder. I think I'm going to have to do what you and my sister did and take some mini vacays and visit local CCO's to get a few more things.

I'm game - hehehe - I posted my VV stash a few pages back. Of all the recent MAC LE launches I believe I hauled the most from this one.

This was and still is one of the best collaboration collections that MAC has ever came out with. Hard to beat this collection.

I agree!

This one, Style Black and several of the mineralize and summer ones were my absolute favorites.

For me I think Style Black is #1 and VV is #1A!

I use Briar Rose beauty powder as a blush. It's gorgeous.
That's what I do! I'm way too pale to use it all over. It is a lovely blush on me, though.

On my latest vacation a few weeks ago, I visited 4 different CCOs and picked up a few more things.

I saw all the lipsticks except Violetta and Innocence, Beware, and all the lipglasses except for Revenge is Sweet (naturally, but that's okay since it's being repromoted soon). Saw all the BPs, all the regular eyeshadows, and both MCLPs. Didn't see the blushes, the MES, the lip gelee, or the mirror.

The update to my list:
Toxic Tale LS (BU)
Oh So Fair BP (BU)
Briar Rose BP (BU)
Truth & Light MCLP (BU, but my first container of it in the Villains packaging

)

I kind of wish I had BUed Dark Deed and Sinister, but I am not a big fan of Sinister on me, and I haven't even tried Dark Deed yet.

I need MAC to do another Disney collaboration! Otherwise I can never see myself loving another MAC release as much as this one.

I will be putting up a sale thread soon in the clearance bin. I have many MAC and other brands to sell. Including a BN Strange Potion and Devilishly Stylish l/g in their packaging for $15/each. Message me if you want as I haven't made my sale thread yet. Just thought I mention it here since some of you are looking for it. =)

Ahhhh it feels good to be back! Hey all!

Can you wait until I make it in there?

Which one is this? You think they would do phone orders?
TIA!
What's a CCO? Like an outlet store?
A CCO is the Cosmetics Company Store. It's an Estee Lauder outlet, and is found in a lot of outlet malls. The MAC products are 30% off; not sure about the other lines, I assume the same discount or close to it.

A far as I know, this chain of stores doesn't do phone orders.

Thank you so much for the information!

I've been to a lot of CCO's, but I never ever saw BoaA in any of them - probably because it was such a hot commodity when VV was released.
I have as well (8 in 5 different states), and I found it at one of the Myrtle Beach, SC CCOs last October.

Between those 2 locations last year, they had basically every product in the LE packaging from that line, except for the mirror, My Dark Magic MES, and Resort Life lipgelee (which I found in another state, also last year). Those CCOs are where a lot of my collection came from.

I was very excited... that was the product I wanted more than anything but had missed out on. Wish I had bought two of them, though.

When I went back this year, it was gone, but the beauty powders, 5 of the glosses, the MCLPs, some of the lipsticks, regular eyeshadows, etc. were still numerous.

I only got three lippies, both mineralize duos (god knows why, as I don't care for mineralize E/S one bit) and a nail polish from the VV collection. That was back when I didn't know how awesome beauty powders were. I now have serious skipper's remorse for BR. If only we had CCOs here in NL...

*sigh*

I've seen the mirror in almost every CCO, but they are usually behind the glass cabinets. Make sure to check there as well if you are after one. :)

They had Briar Rose at my CCO, it is the one in Castlerock, CO. I could call for you and see if they ship? Not sure when I will head down that way again, but if want one, I can make an attempt. They also have the deep purple lipgloss (which I was tempted to buy, but skipped--I am on a gloss no buy!)

You know, I bought BR, then sold it because I didn't think it worked on me. But now I'm ready to give it a second shot. I'm gonna hit up the Las Vegas CCO around Thanksgiving, so maybe I'll see what I can find. V V was one of my favorite collections, and I lucked out finding Style Black stuff there last year.

Thank you for the offer, I really appreciate it. But do CCOs ship overseas? I certainly wouldn't mind paying for shipping as long as they don't charge insane amounts for that :)

re: Deep purple L/G - Was that Revenge Is Sweet? I didn't pay much attention to the glosses at the time but I remember there being some interesting shades. The only one I seriously considered was Wrong Spell but my dark lips quota was already filled by Dark Deed L/S.

I think Wrong Spell is the gloss they have. If the CCO doesn't ship overseas, maybe they could ship to me and I could ship to you? They also have other BP, the stupid mirror, and several of the eyeshadows if anyone is interested. I can call them tomorrow and see if they ship...
