I've been to this one when we vacation in San Diego. All the CCO's in my opinion are hit and miss. Call them before you go and ask what they have. Once a shipment comes in the good stuff flies out the door.

YAY! Thats why I love her. Except i really wished i could have gone, she said they had a ton of stuff. She mentioned tons of lipsticks, Ingenue Blue, Rummy, Rio de Rosa, Ricepaper, Living Pink, Blue pigment, and lots of nail polishes.

I was there last week, and the girl working asked me to come back for their next shipment, which was sometime this week....I'm gonna try to get out there tomorrow, since it's quite a drive for me...I think I heard 'em saying something like towards the beginning of the month...

Don't know then, hon... The girl was super nice cause I was talking to a bunch of them about the 187 brush, which they had, and talking about all the other products with them...and she told me to try to get there this week cause they were getting another one...Maybe she was mistaken as to when exactly they were getting one.. :\ Wouldn't surprise me since I work retail, and sometimes we're told something will be coming in, then something will happen, and it doesn't..

Maybe I'll save my trip then and go in a couple of weeks then..

cco's normally give you about 20 - 30% discount off of retail .. so I'd probley guess about $30 something,
they had the 136 for $40
and the 174 (pro) for $40 something as well

Yeah, when I went it was 29 and some change...one girl on another site just said that they were going to be discontinuing the 187 at CCO's though...BLAH..I knew I should have got an additional one while I was there..

Update on CCO Carlsbad

Hi Ladies,

I don't post much on Specktra, but noticed this thread. I live and work in Carlsbad, so, I go there every month after shipment to check it out. They don't get new MAC stuff every month, but, they did in Mid July. They had about 2 weeks ago, after the shipment:

1) Pigments in Blue, Pink Opal, Provence, Kitchimas, Gold Dusk (sold out there now), and Softwash Grey (also sold out there)
2) Blotting powders
3) Silver Dusk and Golden Bronze Irridescent Powder
4) Several veluxe pearl e/s like Dazzlelight, Expensive Pink, Flashtrack, Star Violet, and others that are not LE
5) A few LE e/s but nothing that stood out to me, I think Silly Goose, Rio de Rosa, and Wonderfull
6) Lots of new lipglass and some new lipsticks
7) A few of those pleather cased holiday palettes, but, not many left
8) Square perfume bottles
9) Makeup remover, cleanser, etc.
10) A ton of nail polish

That's all I can remember. I'm going to go there to do a CP for someone either today or next week, so, I can let you guys know if I see anything else.

Good finds there in the past

I just wanted to add that there have a been a few good things I got from this CCO in the past 6 months.

Moth Brown - I got the last one!
Inventive Quad

I missed out on a whole year of going there though before that being on bedrest for a complicated pregnacy (which turned out fine in the end!).

August Carlsbad CCO Update

Hello all,

Well, I went there on my way home from work last night and saw they got their MAC shipment in. They had a ton of new STILA though, so, if you are into Stila, you should definately go there. I don't really know Stila that well, but, I saw a bunch of palettes and sets that looked nicer than your average -- ones with clutches and brushes and boxes, etc.

As for the MAC stuff, I was pretty disappointed because I'm really only into their MSF, pigments, e/s, and fluidlines, but this is what I saw:

MSF - None..
Pigments - Pink Opal, Rebel Rock Blue
Eyeshadow - Felt Blue (and nothing else!!)
Fluidlines - Iris Eyes, Nonconformist, Royal Wink
Lipsticks and Lipglass - tons!!
Creme color base - tons!! like 10 or 15!
Blush - tons!! like 10 or so
Shadesticks - lots of these too, maybe 8
Eyeliners - around 5 of them
Paints - lots of these as well, maybe 10
Studio Fix, Blot Powders, Bronzing Powder

So, they had alot of stuff I don't really use...I probably won't be going back there anytime soon unless someone really wants something from there that is listed.

Hope that helps!

thanks so much... i probably wont be stopping by now b/c i wont end up getting anything...

Hello All,

Well, I went to CCO to check out the inventory for September and they did not get any new MAC stuff in. They did have a BB Pink Shimmer Brick though, but I don't remember what the price was. Didn't look like they had any new Stila in either, but, don't know Stila stuff as well.

In MAC, what was left was:

Pigments in Blue and Pink Opal
Fluidline in Iris Eyes, Non-Conformist, Waveline, Royal Wink
E/S in Wonderful, Rio de Rosa, Dazzlelight, and Ingenue Blue
Several lipstick, lipglass
Paints in Architecture, and 3 others
Some cream color bases and cream blushes
The usual makeup remover, creams, random studio fix and concealers
Some brushes (no 187 though)
Two of the holiday 2005 palettes and a lip x6 palette
No MSFs

Hopefully they will have more stuff in October!
post #29 of 136
they had the chrome glass stuff and not too much else...oh and a pearlizer.....and some decent brushes if you need a discount on brushes.
