Looks like I'll be travelling elsewhere then! Does anyone know which one is easiest to get to from the train station?

I've just come back from Portsmouth, huh, it was a long drive.
Bit over an hour each way. The CCO isn't as big as I hoped and it didn't have as much stuff as I hoped, but I did get quite a few things anyway. (Gunwharf Quays is pretty cool though, it has a lot of shops, well worth checking out.)
I got 6 pigments (OJ) which I'm very happy with esp as they had Antique Green which is coming out with Felines next month,
and I also got Vintage Gold which is probably similar to Old Gold, although I don't know for sure. I also got Lark About, Fuschia, Bell-Bottom Blue and Circa Plum. They had loads of the permanent ones, like Rose, Golden Lemon, Golden Olive (new jar), Melon (new jar), Kitchmas, Cornflower, quite a few reflects/glitter ones too. I'm sorry, I can't remember all of them.
I also got Moon's Reflection e/s in pot, they had quite a few eyeshadows, almost all of the Rose Romance ones (in fact they had pretty much everything from Rose Romance, even the two beauty powders - no lip stuff though), Style Warrior (the purple, yellow and brown ones), lots of Hello Kitty stuff (both palettes, nail polishes, both BP, Fun & games blush), lots of Dame Edna as well (I got Possum Nose Pink and Splendid l/g), 2 holiday mes, a holiday e/s palette, lots of holiday lip palettes and both face palettes, even the 2008 holiday e/s palettes (I got Devoted Poppy).
I also got a Monogram Lipstick (Flourish), Goldyrocks dazzleglass, Red Devil l/ and Foolishly Fab plushglass, plus a few bits and bobs from Bobbi Brown, Prescriptives and Clinique. Phew!
Unfortunately I couldn't get anything people asked me to CP, sorry.
There wasn't anything from recent collections at all, it was all last year's stuff or older. Hope this helps anyone interested in going there.

That's weird how it's all last years stuff... :S I think CCO's are becoming more popular/known.

congrats on teh pigments! you made great choices!
and vintage gold is nothing like old gold. vintage gold is much darker and less orangey
and of course doesn't have the green duo chrome that old gold does. vintage gold looks brilliant on the lid with carbon in the crease - a pretty smokey eye!

What I found surprising is the amount of stuff from Rose Romance, I thought that was a pretty popular collcetion. Well, I liked it anyway.

I think they all must be about the same size. I've been to Bicester and Swindon and they're approx the same. It seemed like there was more crammed in to Bicester though. The best thing with them all of them is to go at a quiet time.
Glad you managed to bag some goodies Anita!

I went to Cheshire Oaks the weekend just gone, still all the same stock that they had last time I visited. I think if I put a list up of everything I saw it would be almost identical to Anita's. They did have Florida cream blush though which was the only thing that was more recent. Wasn't really that exciting!

Hi!!!
I went to Bicester two weeks ago and they hadn't a lot of MAC but they had a lot of stuff from Bobbi Brown
A few pigments with the old packaging (spiritualize and a light blue one) and 2 or 3 glitters.
Some eyeshadows in the pot form:
bitter, moon's reflection, club, lotusland, a purple from emanuel ungaro collection and a lot more that I can't remember now
2 or 3 blushes in the pan form
Smoke & Mirrors palette from the holiday collection
Fafi eyes 2 quad, tempting quad, the green quad from make up art collection, in the gallery quad
Hot planet and earth to earth mineralized blushes
Some brushes: 274, 138, 134, 129, 222, 223, 212, 187
Some mineralized eyeshadow duos
A silver fluidline
That's all I can remember!
