Are there any CCO's in Canada, specifically Ontario ???

[FemmeNoir]

Does anyone know if a CCO will ship out products if I call to order?

Thanks!

[martygreene]

CCO/CCS do not do mail/phone orders. They are a walk-in store only.

I just want to make sure I understand... if I buy 3 blushes, same brand same color and 3 more blushes different color but still the same brand, is that okay?

I dont think I'd be much of a hoarder... but its good to know.. and how are the stores organized? Are all the brands in one section or just all over the place?

[♥MiCHiE♥]

The displays are grouped by brand then by product. And, you can get as many products as you would like, but not 3 of the same.

I wend to a CCO today!! i like it, didn't have that much, MAC prices were pretty good, like i got a pigment for 13.50 instead of 19.50 but, they didn't have a variety of colors...still imma go back soon, want to go back and get some of the sets!!

[bubbas454]

[kuuipo1207]

Well this just made my day!! First I find out about the crown brushes and how cheap they are, and now there's an outlet that's only about an hour from me!! YAAAAAAAAAYY!!! Thank you so much for posting this!! My husband will be happy! He as ecstactic when I told him about the brushes, lol!

The CCO i go to is not on the list, so I'll add it.

Its in the Harborside Financial Center in Jersey City. Take the subway to the WTC and take the Path train one stop. The CCO is inside the little mall just outside the PATH station. Worth the trip for anyone living in NYC

They will ask you for the name of the company you work for, to make sure they participate & also a company ID as proof. They never bothered me about limits.

Plenty of Bobbi Brown, some Aveda, Bumble & Bumble ... and naturally MAC, Clinique, Prescriptives

[BloodMittens]

I just randomly found one of these stores in Chicago. I can't wait till I get money to go

Hey sorry, quick question- I live by Jersey City--to get some makeup from this store, you need to be affiliated with a participating company??? Like something in the makeup business? Or can anyone get stuff here? thanks.

These stores are open to the public.
