[heyheymac1]

Anyone been to the CCO in Aurora Illinois? What kind of things to they have there? Do they have any pigments or brush sets?

[Holstrom4]

It constantly changes! I have been there 2 times. Once they had alot, other time, I left with only 1 or 2 items. You could try calling to see when they get their shipments and plan your trip then!

omg, i went to the aurora outlet last month and just bought clothes & shoes!!! i just found out about cco 2 weeks ago! this is such a bummer, i missed out on the teal mineralize e/s and have been looking for it...

I was just there on Sunday, and they had tons of eyeshadows (Zoik Blue, Mystical Mist, Rio de Rosa, Fineshine, Malt, Sunday's Best, and a ton more I can't remember), several pigments (Lily White, Blue, and various other pinks and such), a few of the Tint Toons and a couple other lip conditioner pots, tons of lipglasses (sweetie cake is all I can remember), five to six chromeglasses, a few lustreglasses, and about 20 lipsticks. I didn't get a good look at liners, but they had four fluidliners (silverstroke, some blue one, and two purpley ones), four shadesticks (crimsonaire, the purple one, beiging, and a blue one I believe).

Anyway, they were stocked full of everything. They even had tons of blushes and blushcremes, which they never have. If you're near them, I say check it out because there was sooooo much (and that's a store that hardly ever has a good MAC selection).

I just went there today. they didn't have a lot of the stuff you mentioned they ALWAYS have stupid rio de rosa... they have had that for like 2 years. they have belle azure and felt blue and moon's reflection. they have a ton of the lip palettes from holiday collections past. i almost bought of those cute body jewel things they had for my halloweenie costume (slutty rainbow brite FUN!), but it was $24, and i thought that was a rip. they also have a train case with a few products in it for 100 bucks, which i actually thought was a pretty good deal.

they didn't have ANY fluidlines, only two pigments, and the usual foundations. they did, however, have loose powder, which they don't usually have. they also had a face powder from the catherine deneuve collection.

[Holstrom4]

Ooo! I was there today too! You must have missed the fluidlines, there were 4 or 5 of them I believe unless they just had the tester out and no product in back. I have to admit, there was nothing that I was thinking 'Oh Wow' to.

[dirtygirl]

really? crap. i wonder how i missed it... ohz wellz.

[eastsidesunset]

Anyone been here recently? I'm lemming!

[jpohrer]

My friend was there right after Xmas. She got me Shimmermint, Sweet William, 217, and 239. THTS!

[XoXo]

I went right before the holidays...and they had nothing. It was probably because it was right before xmas though..around December 18 or so..

From what I remember..they had..
Kitschmas Pigment, Felt Blue eyeshadow (that was the only e/s they had, and they only had one), same old holiday palettes, they did have a patternmaker cool eyes palette though..very few lipsticks and glosses, and some pearlizers. The only thing I got was Good as gold pearlizer, which was the last one. Theyve probably gotten more stuff since I went though..the first time I went it was realllllly good. HTH

[Marci]

hmmm...I'm off tomorrow so I may have to go over and check it out!! I should of stopped tonight after work! grrr (I work at Mercy so it's a hop skip and a jump)...it's just soooo freakingly busy on the weekends there!

If you end up going, could you please post what they have? I'd like to go soon, but it's gotta be worth the hour drive, haha. I've called to ask, and the women that work there are most unhelpful!

[Wontpayretail23]

I have not seen an update on this place in some time. I live quite a ways. Anyone know?

[heyheymac1]

Has anyone been to the Aurora Illinois CCo in the past week? What kinds of mac stuff do they have? Pigments? and brush sets>?

[lilviolingrrl]

I'm no help, but thanks for posting this! I'm planning on going this Friday (03/09/07) and was wondering the same thing. The last time I was there was in November, I believe. They had some pretty good stuff (lots of lip products, lots of brushes, a lot of odds and ends).

Hopefully someone will be able to help us out!

[heyheymac1]

for sure!!! where are you from?

[lilviolingrrl]

I'm from Des Plaines! How about you???

When I go on Friday, I'll let you know what's there! Hopefully someone can fill us in before then, but if not, I've got your back! My mom and I are going to have a "Mama Daughter Day", and we're going to go bright and early! Hopefully they'll have good stuff, I'm especially looking for brushes because my brush collection needs some serious beefing up, haha. The last time I was there, they had a lot of brushes, especially the face ones, and I only ended up getting a 228 (which is one of my FAVORITE brushes of the few I have!) because I spent a bunch on lipglasses, lipsticks, blushes, and eyeshadows! :P

Anything in particular you are looking for?

[Holstrom4]

Just a reminder... any CP requests/sales/swaps need to be posted within the Clearance Bin. Thanks!

[heyheymac1]

woa crazy!! I'm from Schauburg area! That sounds like fun!! How old is your daughter? I usually just buy pigments and eye shadow and if they have eye shadow palettes or any brush sets (not the individual brushes but the mini brush sets)...whenever I go they usually have lots of individual brushes so you should have no problem there!! Also, one time I saw a train case, and I really need a new one because mine is getting waaaay to small! So let me know if you see that too!! But I guess mostly just let me know what color pigments they have, and if they have any brush sets!! Thanks!! What kind of stuff do you do for fun?! maybe we could meet up and shop sometime since were close!!

[lilviolingrrl]

Oh nice! I'm sure you're VERY familiar with the bank account ruiner that is Woodfield Mall then, haha. :P I actually used to work at the Borders across the street from the mail...my Boyfriend of a year and a half and I actually met there! (He still works there on a VERY part time basis and I don't work there anymore.)

I don't have a daughter, hehe. *I'm* the daughter and I'm going with my mom. I'm REALLY excited...so excited, in fact, that I'm avoiding studying for my massive Nutrition exam that is tomorrow (errr...technically TODAY! Yikes!!!)

The last time I was there, I totally spent over $100, haha. I got lots of lipsticks, lipglasses, blushes, eyeshadows, and a brush. I think this time I'm going to work on my brush collection...it's hard to say no to 30% off brushes, especially since paying full price SUCKS...it's hard walking into MAC, dropping $50, and only walking away with one thing!!!

Oooo traincases! How much were they??? I need one!

I'll bring some paper and pens and write down what I see...I'm also pretty active in the LiveJournal community mac_cosmetics, so I'll be posting my "finds" there as well. (I'm lilviolingrrl there too.)

Sure, I'd love a shopping buddy! Just let me know when you're free!
