Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

I was just there last Wednesday. I found it to have had a lot of stuff. They still had a few McQueen paint pots and shadows. Tons of lipsticks/glosses and matte2 shadows. Some shadesticks and tendertones.

I was just there this weekend and was so impressed by the selections. Here are what I could remember:

- 50+ e/s singles (including Matte2, Moonbathe, McQueen)
- All 2007 Holiday collection (brush sets, eye palettes, lip palettes, p/m sets, l/g sets)
- ~4 other brush sets from previous collections
- 4 e/s quads (Pandamonium, Sweetie Cakes, Well Plumed, can't remember the 4th)
- Several paintpots and fluidlines
- Several tendertones
- Tons of lippies
- 2 MSFs (Glissade and Gold Spill) - this was really disappointing for me
- A ton of blushes (including a whole row of Emote)
- All Sculpt and Shape powders
- Scatterrays Solar Bits
- MES and MetalX cream e/s
- Fix+
- Charged Water
- A whole wall of foundations
- MAC 187 brush for $30

The only thing is this branch is really strict with what you can purchase. You can only purchase 3 of the same type of items, like only 3 e/s singles even though they're different shades. I had to ask my mom to buy some e/s for me as I already exceeded the limit. Then later in the day when we passed by the store again and saw a different SA, I bought some more. LOL.

I find this is one of the BEST cco's in the area. I'm about 40 min away but refuse to take the trip b/c everytime i've gone the staff has been EXTREMELY rude and the manager/assistant I think she is are both extremely unprofessional!! I'd rather pay full price then be harassed!!

  • A lot of pigments (Mauvement from Overrich)
  • Tons of eye shadows (McQueen)
  • About 12 different paint pots (Blacktrak, Soft Ocre, etc. - some of the ones needed to complete Fafi faces)
  • Burgendy, cobalt and a funky cornflower mascaras, plus 2 shades of zoom lash
  • About 6 or 8 different quads (Danse was the only one I recognized)
  • 3 of the soon to be discontinued eyebrow shaders
  • Looked like they had all of the tinted lip conditioners in those white tubes
  • Tons of lippies (McQueen, chromeglass, rose de sheer, and the cases that have the pearls on them)
  • 5 differrent Dazzleglasses (Comet Blue and pinks)
  • Brushes - 134 or 136, 188, 116 and eye brushes I can't find on MAC's website
  • Spray blushes
  • About 15, at least, powder blushes (no pink swoon - wah)
  • Both of the sheer cheek stain like blushes that were in those oval containers with the sponge and you squeeze (some time as Rose de Sheer)
  • only 2 MSFs - medium dark colors
  • 2 full coverage foundation compacts - medium dark colors
  • 2 studio tech foundation compacts - medium dark colors
  • nice variety of loose powders, foundations, etc.
  • Dark concealer palette (3 shades)
  • I swear they had every single lip palette from last Christmas, cools, warms, and Vivaglam
  • At the counter behind the glass, they have aobut 6 different bags with mini brush sets (both sets from last Christmas)
  • Also behind the glass about 8 different perfumes including the pink rose smelling one (my fave), I also noticed gold, silver, and I think green
  • Lots and lots of eyelashes (including Heatherette)
  • Nail polishes (including $$$$$ Yes)
  • Basic or prep items...
    • strobe
    • fix +
    • charged water
    • everyday moisturizers
    • cleanse off oil
    • brush cleaner
There was a lot more stuff, but I didn't have that much time.

And hey, if there is something you want from there, just send me a list of what you're looking for and I'd be happy to double check and pick it up for you (just add a buck or something towards gas and then pay for your shipping). No big woo.

The one guy always used to be nice to me but last time I went it was him, the manager (african american lady/ponytail always in her hair) and Ashley (I believe shes the assistant) and all three were just insanely rude nasty! I used a paypal debit card in there one day (b/c at the time I had no other cc's and used it just sorta as a pre-paid debit card) and the manager accused me of being a ebay reseller.. despite the fact that I had never sold mac on ebay before at that time. LOL

They told me theres a $300 per 3 month time period limit and since I spent $300 that day I couldn't come back for 3 months. I called corporate and everything and they pretty much told me they have no control over the CCO's and that each store can basically make up their own rules which I think its complete and utter BS!!!

Ever since then (that was about 2 yrs ago) I don't even bother wasting my money on the tolls/gas to go there since I have a freestanding store only a 1/2 hour away now and the ma's there are insanely nice.. its worth the extra money of paying full price!! :/

oh man that sucks the sales people at my store can be a pain sometimes but i wave my debit card/credit card and they seem like they are happy at the last minute to make a sale thinking they might just get paid on commission only. one time a lady asked me if i was stealing a tester lipstick she was a sales lady i said no i said im going to buy it and i gave her this dirty dirty look like she was a complete idiot and ever since then when i go into the store and see her she is nice to me.
my store has a 3 limit of the same item rule but they never told me a certain amount and cant come back for 3 months if they did i probley would raise some problems
