This was the best COO visit!

Oh dear, I think I need to visit...my wallet doesn't think so though!

Oh lordy did I nearly die today! For those of you who have been there before, all the foundation stuff was out on a front end cap. Where the foundation stuff used to be is now home to approx. 40 eyeshadows. I kid you not, I nearly fell on the floor! They had such colors as vellum, nylon, shroom (which I was surprised about), gulfstream, naked lunch, swiss chocolate, Phloof! in Ungaro packaging and a couple others of that collection. They also had a bunch of palette collections, 2008 holiday with the gems on the top and one from Dame Edna- silver glitter with teal and another color.

A bunch of bright (ie. Neon) pigments, holiday 2008 pigment minis, two blushes from Dame Edna, two Nordstrom exclusive blushes, a Heatherette bronzer (not sure of the name), a bunch of brushes, not too much in the l/g or l/s department.

Does anyone know how far this outlet is from the nj turnpike exit? It'd be a nice place to stop on my tedious drive up the coast if it's not too far out of the way!

I've been looking desprately for the afterdusk blush from moonbathe ever since I sold mine and from the looks of the pic posted above, it's at this outlet and may be worth the hassle

It is a bit out of the way from the NJ turnpike. Not sure where exactly you are coming from, but there are a few ways to get there. Your best bet is to google directions to see how far out it would put you. You can always call them and ask if they have the product before you drive there too.

I'm driving all the way up to NYC from North Carolina so it really doesn't matter from what exit :p and I'll definitely call before I go just to check it's still there

Just got back from this CCO and the selection is unbelievable! They have alot of eyeshadows. I picked up cork, folie and solar white. I got the last redhead MSF!

For anyone who liked the Moonbathe collection, they had alot of Afterdusk and Otherworldly blush, plus a few of the lippies and glosses from that collection. They also had some eyeshadow and blush from Neo Sci Fi.

I didn't know that you could only buy 3 of a particular product (3 blushes, 3 eyeshadow). I wanted to get Strada but since I already got 3 Afterdusk (LOVE THIS) I couldn't. Maybe next trip.

BTW, they also had the tempting and purple quads from Cult of Cherry.

It pains me so, SO much that I'm going to spend 2 weeks in Philadelphia in August... and I won't have a car to get me to this CCO.

Philly has great short term transportation. You can use the zip car program or the Philly Car Share program. You can just rent/borrow a car for a few hours from them (or the day if you wish). Take a jaunt up there and then drive back down town. It take quite a few buses from Center City to get up to Franklin Mills. The train does not run directly there either.

Septa run from Center City to Frankford Terminal from there you can hop on bus Route 20, it'll take you to Franklin Mills.

Septa train from some direction (South, north, West Philly) need transit to free connection to the train to Frankford Terminal so basically you only pay one train ride and one bus ride
