CCO & MAC Haul With My Best Friend!
My best friend Lisa dragged me (oh yeah I was really kicking and screaming LOL) to my CCO because 1. she wanted quality makeup and 2. she had never been before so we had to go last Wednesday night.
We arrived at Jersey Shore Outlets around 6pm and we literally stayed there for close to two hours swatching and looking through everything. The people at my CCO are wonderful always! I’ve only been twice and both times the customer service was phenomenal. Everyone was eager to help us out there despite our being loud and going back and forth throughout the store.
Earlier in the day we had called down to the CCO just to make sure that the Fascinating palette from the 2008 Christmas collection. I have it and Lisa wanted one too so we got it. She really adores the smokey look so why not just get it all in one palette and save than to spend lots on pans at the MAC store? So, that was a go.
We get into the store and locate the Fascinating palette. An employee told me on the phone earlier that they had So Ceylon MSF in so I went and grabbed that and she grabbed one as well. My best friend and I were talking about Gorgeous Gold eyeshadow some time ago because we saw it at a counter in Macy’s and it was a color we wanted so we picked that up at the CCO. We made our way over to the brushes because finally they were all back in stock so we picked up our first MAC brush ever which is the 217 and I truly adore it!
Over where the brush display is I noticed that they had Hello Kitty stuff plastered down too. EEEEEEEEEEEK! The last time I was at the CCO an employee told me they were all sold out of Hello Kitty so when we saw it we went for Pink Fish immediately. I was kind of bummed because two weeks before I hunted down a Hello Kitty Lip Conditioner in Popster at Bloomingdales and bought that. Had I gone to the CCO I would have gotten both Popster and Pink Fish at the discounted price, but how could I know? *shrugs*
My CCO also had one of the Hello Kitty quads and my best friend picked that up. Both beauty powders were available as well, but I passed because the compact is not big like the Heatherette one so I didn’t like it and I love my Smooth Harmony so I may just go back and get another one. They also had the Hello Kitty mystery powder, you know the one with the Swarovski crystals in the compact? Yes, that. They only had two available at $68 bucks and I didn’t have the money for it so I passed on that. It was a very good deal though. There are were no Dazzleglasses unfortunately or we would have gotten a few.
My best friend bought two of of the Christmas collection lipglasses – I forget what they are called. So she got 6 lip glosses (all neutral colors) and 6 dazzelglasses for $28 bucks. The sizes of the lipglasses were half the size of a regular lipglass. Still a good deal because these will last her for a long while. She also got a compact of 3 lipsticks and another compact with 6 eyeshadows in it from the Christmas collection as well.
We hit up the MAC store in Shrewsbury, NJ at the Shrewsbury Mall because she wanted the 226 brush. We also picked up a 239 brush as well. I didn’t get a contractable lip brush, but she did so she ended up with four MAC brushes. Sweet!
To make things even better, everything I got that evening my best friend paid for as a gift to me. She said that I’m always helping her out and stuff and that I deserved my goodies. Because of her I was able to get my first MAC brushes. Yay! I’ve been giving my Essence of Beauty brushes the evil eye for a while now because I hate them despite all of the rave reviews. I do LOVE LOVE LOVE MY ECO-TOOLS POWDER BRUSH THOUGH – so go figure!

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!!!
