A mini Cosmetics Company Store Haul

This past Saturday I made my first ever visit to our State’s Cosmetics Company Store and it was a very nice experience. I was helped the entire time by a salesperson named Amy and she was super helpful, nice, funny and answered every questions I had. The manager (I didn’t ask for his name) was nice too. and was very pleasant. Here are my pictures of my first EVER visit to the CCO here in New Jersey!

Now I’m going to tell you what MAC products were there. There were lots of Heatherette compacts and eye shadow trios. There were also a lof of Dame Edna compacts and eyeshadow trios. I saw a lot of Tempting quads too. I didn’t see too many lipglasses. They had a lot of Ungaro compacts. They didn’t have the Style Warrior compacts, but they did thave lot of Scatterays Solar Bits. Let me tell you all about what I didn’t know. I didn’t know that there is a limit of three eyeshadows per purchase. Yikes! There were lots of eyeshadows to choose from too – they didn’t have any of the colors I had on my list but that was OK. There were also lots of MSFs to choose from as well – no naturals – lots of shimmery ones and duos. All of the Fafi dolls were there, but I got the last brown one (had to have it). There was also a Fafi shopping bag for sale too. No MAC brushes for sale except for the short travel ones and I believe those were from the Christmas collection ???. Pigments were in abundance as well. Lots of MAC stuff, just not the stuff I really wanted like the foundation in my shade and there were no concealers.

My hubby spotted a Bobbi Brown makeup case that was gorgeous, but I didn’t get it. Maybe next time. It retailed at $225, but it was stunning. The name of the outlet center I went to is called The Jersey Shore Premium Outlets located in Tinton Fall, New Jersey and it is the only NJ outlet center that has a CCO. **OT (off topic) – there is no Coach store here! What the…? I will go back to the Jersey Shore CCO, but next time I’m going to visit the CCO out in Long Island to see what they have and they are called The Tanger Outlet of Riverhead New York.

Anyway, here are my CCO pictures!

I sent my husband to look for the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel so I’m thinking he was only able to locate the lotion version of it so I went with that. I’m all out of Neutrogena Moisturizing Lotion so I thought I’d give Clinique a try. So far, so good…review coming up for it soon!

Oh, I almost forgot something! I also hit the Fragrance Discount Store at my outlet center which had a big NYX Makeup display so I mini hauled there too. I spotted the display from afar, across the courtyard actually. LOL! I bought four nail polishes and two shade sticks…one in brown and the other in black.  What I forgot to add to the picture was the Ice Princess Lipgloss I also purchased – am I liking NYX lipglosses? I’ll tell you what I think about it later.

Before I end this post I just wanted to say, again, that I had a very pleasant CCO shopping experience.  What I was most excited about seeing was the Heatherette Beauty Powder compacts.  I really wanted one of those and didn’t want to have to go through Ebay to get one.  If any of you want to know how much I spent on these items shoot me an email and I’ll get back to you.

Thanks for reading…adios!!!
