Just google Cosmetic Company Outlet. If you have outlet malls near you, there is a good chance that one of them has a CCO.

They can be hidden inside Saks outlets as well. It took me a year to find the CCO that was near me, because I didn't go into the Saks outlet!

I hadn't seen it yet; thanks!
A couple of those lipsticks look reeeeeeeally good, AS IF I need more lipstick!
How cool that they're already re-promoting Runaway Red!
I already have it, but I may grab one for a friend's Christmas present. No harm in getting started early!

Thanks for the feedback liba!!!
i find when I get loose hairs I sweep a mascara wand over them and it works really well you should try that :) I looked on eBay for a 190 but I'm not paying those rates to run the risk of a fake!!!

Im sad now because i really want a 190 :-(

If I have MAC Red and Port Red, do I really need Runway Red? All the hype as got me curious, but I wear straight red about once in a blue moon. I tend to go for more muted or brick reds like Party Line or Media.

wait, the 190 is still on the US site (not in the Goodbyes section) - is this another one that's getting disco'ed under the radar or are we getting this all mixed up with the 192?

(this isn't a brush I'd want to do without, but i don't need a backup atm unless it's in danger of going poof)

I believe she meant the 192 rather than the 190. I don't think the 190 is going anywhere as it is a stable foundation brush.

If you don't wear red a lot and find you look better in brick reds and neutral reds, Runaway Red is probably going to look more like a vampy color on you than a straight red, since it's so bluish and pretty dark. Personally it's the first perfect HG blue red I've found for me in years and has looked good on me all year since the end of the summer when /I had quite a tan, to now at my palest.

It's one that's best to test out first, I'd say. At least you ought to find lots of pictures of it on different skin tones by now.

130 is like a short, dense version of a 188, which is a smaller, more compact version of the 187 - 187's for dusting MSFs and other powders over large areas or for gals who like a large brush for the cheeks. 188 is more just for blushes, since it's not as wide as that 187. 130, being small, short and dense, is really loved by some for applying foundation and cream products for that smooth stippled effect, but personally I prefer a 190 for both, because I find it easier to control (being stiffer and the flat edge is good for nooks and crannies and contoured lines), and i just like the patting and sweeping motion you can do with it - stippling does nothing special for my skin texture anyhow

I know some folks think the 190 is "old-fashioned", but it works for me! It'll leave the very occasional hair, but I just take a tweezer and lift it out if it does.
Exactly this about the 130. No shed hairs at all! The only MAC brush that sheds is the 109.

MAC Red is probaly the bluest of the MAC perm reds and I think you are good with that. Runaway Red is bluer than that! It really has the vibrancy of a true red. I love that it's not vampy and doesn't pull brown.

190 was my first MAC brush and currently I use it for moisturizer and primer

i'll tell you this, i NEVER reach for red lipsticks because i believe with reds, you either got it or you don't...BUT...I got Runaway Red and ended up loving it, because it isn't a bright, in your face red, it's more vampy (at least for me). I'd say you should definitely grab Runaway Red, i'm backing it up.
