I wished I live close to a CCO. I'm planning a trip to one next year, but knowing my luck I'll choose a time where there is nothing exciting there! I'm hoping to go when the holiday collection rolls in but who knows when they might be...

It really varies a lot.. LE collections seem to come fairly quickly, like I mentioned, the last time I went they had a lot of Style Warriors there, and I remember they got it in pretty much straight after the collection had finished being promoted, because I remember being surprised when they first got it in. They also had Hello Kitty in only a couple months after the collection ended. Other times I see random things pop up there from the perm line that have been dc'd for months and months - sometimes they have foreign labelling on them (e.g. Polish) so I wonder if they are shipped from other European countries that do not have CCOs and thus take a lot more time to filter through?
Hope you have fun, wave at me when you drive through Oxford

They had loads of eyeshadows, sorry I cant remember which ones, most of them from the Permanent line, I remember two from Style Warriors.
I always forget to look at brushes! The only one i noticed was the big kabuki body brush!
Has anyone seen the HOLIDAY 08 Smokey palette in Cheshire/bicester/portsmouth??

Hm I have only just found out we have CCOs in the UK! But i'm fairly new to this forum.
I think my closest one in Bicester, and I am very interested to see what they have there. I might even take requests for things for people, although I dont think I know many people here.
Am I right in thinking htere are only three here in the UK?

Any updates on the CCO's? I'm going to the Portsmouth one on Saturday and I can't wait
I've never been to a CCO in the UK and i've only been once in the States.
I'll go to the MAC store in SoHo on Friday but I really wish it could be the other way round, that I could hit up the CCO first since I don't really know what it'll have of products. And there's the MAC store at Gatwick airport, really wish I knew what the had, but i'll get there last so chances are i will have spent all my money at the previous two

I went to COO in Cheshire Oaks last Monday and it was very disappointing, There was about 5 pigments, all colours were there since last year. A few eyeshadows, basic and boring colour. Some quads, again I have seen them in COO for many times now, including the brown/yellow one from the Cult of Cherry collection. Nothing new or from recent collection. It was the first trip that I didn't get anything

I went to Cheshire Oaks a couple of weeks ago and there was loads of MAC!
There were literally about 30 eyeshadows and oddly enough a lot of them were perm line. I only got Phloof but there was also Gesso, Jest, Gorgeous Gold, Girlie, Rule, All That Glitters, Amber Lights, Paradisco, Woodwinked, Beautiful Iris, Trax, Handwritten, Fig 1, Typographic, Pen n Pink and Embark. I think the LE shades were mostly from Warm Chill and Naughty Nauticals - I definitely saw Submarine atleast.
There was also a good selection of pigments and Reflects Very Pink was there too.
They had a Dame Edna eyeshadow palette aswell as a Hello Kitty one, they also had the Hello Kitty Tahitian Sand powder.
Foundations there was a lot of and they even had the lighter shades such as NC15 in the Mineralize finish which they usually don't. Brushes there were a lot of, I got the 227 and the 249.
Everything else was a little thin on the ground, not many blushes of interest same for the lip products and everything else was skincare related or a charged water. The trip was more than worth it though for all the eyeshadows!
