They also had the sculpt and shape duo pan powder in all the shades.. (bone beige/emphasize, lightsweep/shadester, accentuate/sculpt).. I think those were around $15.

Quick Question: Are the prices posted or somehow visibly obvious or do you have to ask the sellers?.... I want to go check it out this weekend but based on people's comments that workers there are hella rude...

(I'm assuming just like that hehe) would at least give me heads up on whether I will actually have to talk to them to ask 4 prices. Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

They have visible prices. They have small price signs stuck on the various displays. The SAs are HELLA RUDE. I say only ask them things as your LAST resort haha.

Yea, the girls are not very nice... and sometimes they watch you as if u're going to take something. They have testers for most of the products on shelves... I think the MAC stuff has two shelves. If you want to look at the brushes, you have to ask the girl that works there-- the samples of the brushes are behind the counter. There are also some other palettes and brush sets in a display right by the cash register. If you want to see those, you will have to ask the girls that work there.

They also have a bunch of Bobbi Brown stuff (eyeshadows and blushes). I think it's because Bobbi Brown is switching their round packaging to square pans that can be put into palettes.

Happy shopping!

[AlysonWithaY]

did you happen to notice any eyeliners or shadesticks?

 

[AlysonWithaY]

Ok I went today...here's my report:

They had...

paint pots - delft (lemming = dead), constructivist, indianwood, fresco rose, greenstroke, electro sky, otherworldly, pharao

eyeshadow - floral fantasy, lavander shower, clair de lune, another one in white packaging I forget, typographic, velvet moss, nile, pharao, and maybe a couple others??

fluidline - jadeye, haunting

blush - emote, harmony

lipstick - a SLEW of mattenes incl immodest, orange dare, and some ugly brown ones (lol), slimshines funshine, pink d'lush, and an ugly brown one, and a ton of lipsticks. some were LE (Strange Hybrid, Flowerplay, Overrich, Rozz Revival, Twig Twig, Her Fancy, and 3N off the top of my head. Others I'm not sure are LE or not, Blast O Blue, Faux, and some icky looking brown/bronze/gold shades.

shade sticks - blurberry, corn, overcast (ick I thought I wanted it-- not!), silverbleu, shimmermint, and one reddish looking one, crimsonaire??)

they also had green gel cleanser, fix+, and a bunch of other skincare stuff in old packaging. Some CCBs (like 3?), a bunch of TLCs and Tendertones (old ones), a couple shades of brow shader, zoom lash, a SLEW of lipglasses, plushglass, 3d glass, and lustreglass (including some mcqueen gloss), and some pigments but I don't remember which ones. All 3 shades of solar bits were there too but I'm not into loose stuff.

There was a bunch of the spray-color stuff, the spray-blush and spray-foundation...idk why they made that stuff, they can't even get rid of it @ the CCO, haha.

Also worth noting....Bobbi Brown explosion! I tested some stuff. I may actually have to get into BB. The e/s are so nice.

They may have had brushes, but I didn't ask. They usually keep those behind the counter.

Just building more specifics into what was reported right before me

//updated
Hello!!

I don't know where my post went..but I guess i'll type it again

The person's post above mine is correct too
I'm just adding a few things

MAC
Eyeshadows: Cosmic, 7th sin, and the blue one like 7th sin, Earthly Riches, Silversmith

Sculpt & Shape, Paints, Creme e/s, lots of lipsticks and slimshines, lipgelees, Studio Tech and Studio Moistureblend

They had the 187 and 188 tucked all the way in the back behind all the weird brushes.

Also, the people working there are really old, and they're really mean. They didn't say a word to me while I was there, even when I paid!

 

[mustardgirl]

That's really weird about the rudeness thing - I haven't noticed it the times when I go in (although I do notice that they keep a watch on me but that's to be expected and doesn't bother me since I'm obviously doing nothing wrong using testers) but most of the time I keep to myself anyway and never ask anything except when I want to purchase something or look at the brushes.

If anybody has an update on their stock since the last poster, please post it! I may try to check it out on Sunday but I'm not sure if I will have time or not.

 

[skittishkitty]

hi. I was wondering if you ladies who go there often would help me looking for something, please PM me if its okay. I may want to get some brushes also e/s. I can give you my cell. Thank you!!

 

[hhunt2]

I came in this past Saturday b/c I was in town.
The gal that helped me was nice compaired to other ladies that work there (as stated by other Specktra gals). Her name is Larissa (brunette in her early 20's). She was telling me that they had the 217 brush for about $14! Holy Crap! We were talking a little bit about CCO's in Nor Cal compaired to So Cal CCO's. But anyways, this is what they had...

Bunch of brushes- 187, 188, 222, etc.
3 brush sets
5-6 PaintPots (Fresco Rose, Otherwordly, Delft, Indianwood, Greenstroke, etc.)
6-7 e/s (Cosmic, 2 e/s from McQueen- the purple & blue, Typographic, etc.)
1 piggie (lame!)- green color (sorry, I can't remember name).
2-3 Sculpt & Shape Powder: Accentuate & Sculpt, etc.
3 Cream Color Base- Hush & 2 other darker colors.
2 Blushes- Emote & a similar shade.
3 Cream Blushes- Uncommon & 2 similar shades.
1 l/s set from Novel Twist
4 loose beauty powders- Tenderdusk, Drizzlegold, nude color and I forget the other.
5-6 glitter liners.
6-7 Nail polishes.
5 paints (but I didn't really look at the colors).
MES in Earthly Riches & the silver one.
4 Tendertones- Warm Smile, the lime/green one, etc.
Bunch of l/s, l/g, lipliners & eyelashes.
Bunch of face products- Fix+, Strobe Liquid, packages of face wipes, etc. Also a bunch of foundation, studio fix powders and others in different shades.

This is what is scored: Cosmic e/s, Warm Smile Tendertone, Beauty Loose Powder in Drizzlegold, 188 brush, Twig-Twig & Faux l/s.

**7/30/08 update:
Omg, how could I forget to add Solar Bits to the list!
I was never impressed by solar bits b/c of the chunks and fall out, so I guess thats why I forgot.
They had all 3 colors. I know they diffently had Black Ore. The other 2 are a hazed memory... Sunpower or Scatterays and Bronzescape

 

[eye_pr0mise]

[midori]

[eye_pr0mise]

i went today. couldn't really check out all of the products they had. i had a sales associated breathing down my neck while i was looking at stuff. and i cant shop like that lOl.
but i couldn't find the emote blush. is it behind the counter? like do i have to ask for it or is it on display?

 

[MonBlanCesS]

So I went on Saturday (08/09/08) and they pretty much had almost everything the girls above posted up(midori and hhunt2). Except for...


No solar bits
No Typograpic e/s (Thats the one I wanted)

No pigments at all (unless I overlooked)
No Emote blush ( they only had a matte light brown color I think Honour?)
No mineralized eyeshadows

The only difference to add to the list is they had 4 shadesticks in Corn, Overcast, a red-orange one and I cant remember the other color. A lot of face products in old packaging though.

Hope this helps

 

[mkay224]

aww i am heading out there this saturday! i hope they get some more stuff... i really wanted the emote blush though. hopefully they don't run out of the sculpt and shape duo (accentuate/sculpt) before i get there. it seems like a lot of CCOs have these in stock! anyway, i will definitely try to update on inventory when i get back!!

 

[mkay224]

I finally got a chance to check out the store this past weekend and here are some things that I noticed (I didn't have too much time so I'm sorry if I didn't get to see some exact colors of some items).

5 Basic Brushes set from Novel Twist
Novel Twist 181SE and sheer pearlizer pigment set
Brow finishers (Wheat, Blonde)
Harmony blush
Sculpt and Shape duos (Accentuate/Sculpt, Lightsweep/Shader)
Alexander McQueen eyeshadow in Haunting
1 Pigment (maybe Lark About?)
Studio Mist foundation (4 of the darker colors)
5 Paint pots (sorry don't remember the colors)
4 Shadesticks (probably same colors as mentioned before)
Select Sheer loose powder
Pressed Studio Fix
Couple of blushcremes
Zoom lash
Good amount of lip products but I didn't check them out
Skincare with re-packaging (Fix+, Strobe cream, etc.)
I didn't ask to see the brushes because they were so far behind the counter but I did notice the 188 is still there

There are probably a bunch of things that I missed but hope this helps!
