They still had Gold Stroke, and they have a 3 item limit per item just like every other CCO.

I was there a few weeks ago and bought about 5 or 6 pigments without any problem. I've never experienced a 3 item limit!

The rule is 3 of the same color. So, for example, you wouldn't be able to purchase 5 Violet pigments in one transaction. The limit would be 3 Violet Pigments. Make sense?

oooo understood. I thought it was 3 items in the same category (i.e. 3 eyeshadows)

Oh Thanks for clarifying this! I thought I might have to take someone with me so I could get all my pigments. I'm planning to go tomorrow morning.

Let us know if they have any Style Black stuff. I read somewhere that some of that is hitting CCOs now. I loved that collection!!

jfmuni - Thank you so so much for posting all the goodies at this outlet. I don't know how you got all of that down. I don't think I would have been able to do it.

I went yesterday. Although from jfmuni's posting I knew there was a lot here, I still couldn't believe my eyes. I have never seen so much at a CCO before. I usually go to Woodbury Commons, NY.

I bought tons! Last time I went, I wanted Gold Stroke pigment but I couldn't remember the name of it. I was so tired from already shopping that I decided to not get anything because I didn't want to duplicate products. I went to Woodbury about a month later and decided to get a pigment and hope it was the right one. Well, I ended up with 2 Gold Modes! Yikes. This time I decided to come with a list so I printed jfmuni list and doubled checked what I didn't have before I went.

The list had "Sheena" on it. I just thought it must have been a misprint but it wasn't! They had Sheena and Poco Pink! I couldn't believe it. 2 of my old time faves. Any old timers remember these two? I still have a lot left so I didn't pick up back ups. Maybe next trip.

I did see both Graphic Gardens eye palettes so they must have restocked. I picked up the palette I didn't have. I also saw Lollipop Loving lipstick. I hear so much about this color that I had to try it but it looked a little too light on my hand. If they have it when I go back I will try it on my lips to see it better.

Oh and I'm pretty sure I saw Sea & Sky MES so that must have been restocked as well.

Sorry, I didn't see any Style Black. I would have snatched that up! Well the MES anyway.

I've been debating taking this trip for awhile. I've been so tired lately that I was worried about driving there. I was considering taking the train up there but I kept putting it off. Last weekend, I went to visit my brother who lives in CT so I planned to get to the CCO but I got a late start and thought better of it. I decided to just drive up yesterday. I'm on vacation and I don't really have anything better to do so I thought, "why not"? It was a nice drive. A bit of traffic though, maybe Friday isn't the best day for this but still not bad. They had so much stuff, it was totally worth the trip! They did not have nearly this much the last time I went there and for each color they seemed to have tons in stock. The shelves were overflowing! I think I may have to go back sometime this summer.

not a problem! i usually spend hours there just looking at stuff so i figured i'd start typing everything in my cell phone or writing it on random pieces of paper.

thanks for the update, though! i'm going to have to stop by and see what the fuss is about with lollipop lovin'

We live in Illinois but my husbands family lives in CT and we stay in Clinton and we didn't make it out this year but I love that CCO. I always stock up on my Mac when we go...So sad now that we didn't make it this year....

Hi ladies! Just curious if any of you are going to this CCO soon or if you were there recently and happened to notice if they had the EL Bronze Goddess Sand & Sea (or Sea & Sand?) e/s palette. It has about 5 or 6 colors, 2 of which are gorgeous blues Thanks!

Can you try the bus? Maybe you can convince someone to drive you. Its a small shopping center but they do have some nice stores that might interest someone.

I think id have to take a greyhound then figure out Clinton city buses-if any go that way- all while bringing my two young kids. I am a single mom so it really is easier said than done otherwise I would have by now I don't mind the bus I take it everyday. As for getting someone to take me I don't have friends and any "family " I do have wouldn't go out that way for me Thanks anyways for the suggestion Ill get there eventually just don't know when.
