Hi ladies

I've never been to a CCO before (that's soon to be rectified though!). The one at Bicester Village is the closest to me - has anyone been? So I know how much money to take

how do the prices work out? I know it's all very hit and miss with what they have to sell but I'm really keen to check it out and get spending.

Cheers

Julie

There's one in Canary Wharf - near the lift bank in the Canary Wharf tower.
My Canary Wharf > Stores A – Z > The Company Store

Only problem... you have to be an employee to be able to purchase anything from there!!

Hi there Julie - the Bicester Village one is about a 25mins drive from me so I was thinking I'll maybe go there this weekend and take a look (since it's pay day tomorrow and all....) so I will try to remember everything and post here to let you know

Yes please Lissa!! - Then I'll see if my poor hubby is going to need CPR after I've been on a spree

Cheers

THAT SUCKS!!! I live 15 minutes from Canary Wharf. That would have been ideal. I WISH i knew somebody that worked down there.

IT ISN'T FAIR!!!

Just posted in the Bicester Village thread too, but here is what I saw today:

Pigments £10.50:
Provence
Smoke Signal
Quick Frost
Helium
Violet
Viz a Violet

Quads £20.50:
Amazon eyes
Pandamonium

Eyeshadows £7.00:
Cloudbound
Seedling
Blue Storm

Blushes £9.00(?):
Coygirl
Ablaze

Lipsticks £8.59 (?):
Festivity
Mellow Flame
eh, a couple of others.....damn I forgot

A load of chromeglasses, a ton of lipglosses, a couple of the 3D glasses...I think they had Moonbathe l/g, and so many others that I can't remember their names - £7.50

Hullabaloo High Light powder - £11.00

Some liquidlasts - Coco Bar, Powerplum, Dress Khaki - around £9.00 I think

Abstract Nail polish - £5.75

Tendertones - Purring, Hush Hush, and the green one - £10ish

Royal Assets, both Warm Eyes and Cool Eyes palettes: £21.00

Curiositease Softsparkle pencil sets: £18.00

The Curiositease lipglass and plushglass sets: around £18?

Trip set (168SE, 190SE, 194SE, 212SE, 252SE plus bag) £25.25

The Royal Assets lip palettes - £14.00

Novel Twist palettes - around £18-20

The usual lipliners, eyeliners (I noticed Out to Sea), I think there was a Boot Black liquid liner, a Mac bag which is like an over the shoulder satchel thing (couldn't see the price), brushes like the 187 and 150 (not much less than retail), a couple of Brow Sets and Brow Shaders, some darker shades of foundations and concealors (although not much choice in either) and a Studio Mist blush.

Also the brush set with the bag - is it Heirlooms? And the similar set with a pigment vial in it, blusher etc.

Oh and the suedette Intense Eyes Palette - just found the description with the shadow names: Smut (muted black flecked with red shimmer), Phloof! (frosted off white), Gallant (deep grape with pearl), Nightbird (rich aqua with green pearl), With A Twist (bright light green with gold), and Till Daybreak (dirty rosy pink). - must have been £21.00 like the Royal Assets ones.

Mini barbie bag - about £9

Strobe Cream around £14.75

Blue Peep fluidline

They had a few more things but it was packed in there so I couldn't get too close to it all. I had a quick look at Bobbi Brown too and they had the Sandstone shimmer brick for £19, some lip and eye palettes, Black Pearl cream shadow, some mini brush sets with bags.

Hmm what else...they also have Prescriptives, Stila, and the usual like Estee Lauder, Clinique etc.

If you plan on going at the weekend I recommend getting there for around 10am as after that it becomes very difficult to park and there is an enormous queue out to the main road just to get in.

Hope this helps

I reckon in a few weeks they might have some N-collection or Fafi fingers crossed....it is not far from me so will update if they do!

Ooh might have to pay a visit for the Holiday sets

actually the McArthur outlets dont have the cosmetics company store. I know for definite the Kent-Ashfortd outlet doesn't. The closest CCO to me is the Bicester village one and i asked where all their other branches are - these are shown at the begining of this thread!!

Just to avoid disappointment =(

 

[Luceuk]

I think I may go to the York one soon, curiosity is getting the better of me

it's just straight down the A19. I wish we had one in the North East. They could open one at Dalton Park or The Royals Quays they're both designer outlet places, they're both really close to where I live. I'm in the middle of the two, I hope they so eventually.
