In a perfect world I'd go weekly just to check out new stuff, but that's a lot of gas.. I wonder how irritating it would be if I called ever week? ;P I'll be heading up there soon... I have a new goal of only going to CCO once a month... but I went to one in Vegas on the 1st and I'm going so crazy not having visited recently!!

No, sorry but Emote was gone. I picked up one of the Accentuate and Sculpts last fall at the Wisconsin Dells CCO if you ever make it that direction.

Yup, the duos were there, but I was there a month ago so they may be gone by now...

Could you tell me where the Vegas CCO is located? I'm going there in 6 days, I can't wait!

I have never been to albertville but will go now, what is CCO?

Technically we have Cosmetics Company Store.

The "Company" is Estee Lauder--We get shipments each month of Estee Lauder Company brands (Origins, Clinique, MAC, Bobbi Brown, etc) and they're sold at around 30% off retail.

Thanks, I felt dumb for asking but when it comes to sales there are no stupid questions I guess

There are two. One is in Primm, NV, the other is in Vegas. The Pro Store is on... I want to say the second level of the Forum Shops, but I can't remember. D:

note: there are more than i mention, i'm just posting what i remember specifically

paints: chartru, flammable
paint pots: rollickin', girl friendly, mossscape
eyeshadows: (there weren't many) surreal, fertile
glitter liner: peacocky, and two other green ones i don't recall
shadestick: mangomix, corn, silverbleu, penny
pigments: helium, landscape green, steel blue, blackened red, jardin aires (i think), melon
a bunch of lipsticks, including the two fafi colors
i'd say all of the pro longwear lip colors
mascara and brow sets
msf: light flush
msf natural with shimmer all 3 shades (duos - ps, imo, these are really not worth it...)
both fafi quads, 1 heatherette quad, a bunch of the 08 holiday quads, a few nordstrom special quads, two itsy bitsy travel brush sets, 2 pigment and lipglass sets

Thanks! I don't know if I'll make it to the CCO, but I've been planning on the Pro Store for months now. I'm so excited! Any recommendations of pro products I should pick up?

Ooooh the sculpting powder for sure! They were out of Sculpt pans when I was there... so I settled for Bone Beige, which ended up being too light.

I'd also definitely check out the fun colors that you can only find at Pro stores... like blushes in Cantaloupe and Salsarose and shadows in Canary Yellow, Kelly, etc.

 

[azmaei]

Hey ladies, I called today and they just got their June shipment in! She said they didn't receive a lot of MAC, but there are some new products. I haven't gone yet, so I don't know the specifics, but I do know that there's nothing from HK.

When I go, I'll post what's new

 

[chickatthegym]

Thanks! Keep us posted on what you find there... I'm specificially looking for brushes and MSF's... and blushes

[iShadow]

Oh I'm soooooooo in trouble. I've fallen in love with Steel Blue, and I've also been lemming Prep + Prime with SPF for aaaaaages...

Yeah

 

[Juxtapose]

That's awesome you work there! I've been dying to check it out for months now, but I just haven't felt like venturing out there all by myself yet. I will soon though! I have to! I'd like to try a pigment and find some more shadesticks or paint pots!

 

[chickatthegym]

I was in the other day and of course spent WAY too much LOL.. This is by far the best CCO I have been to anywhere in the country and I travel a lot. Lots of blushes, eyeshadows, pigments, l/s, l/g, etc. They had some stuff from the BBR collection

I got the 116 brush too which I have been wanting forever so that was awesome! They also had the 181 SE brush in a cute little bag that was from the Novel Twish collection. Oh and the MSF's in Light Flush, Soft and Gentle and Petticoat... LOOOOVE Petticoat!

I'm thinking of making my 1st trip ever either tomorrow or in the next week or two. Is now a good time to go? Have there been any recent shipments?
