Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills) - Page 3

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

I was just there last Wednesday. I found it to have had a lot of stuff. They still had a few McQueen paint pots and shadows. Tons of lipsticks/glosses and matte2 shadows. Some shadesticks and tendertones.

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

I was just there this weekend and was so impressed by the selections. Here are what I could remember:

- 50+ e/s singles (including Matte2, Moonbathe, McQueen)
- All 2007 Holiday collection (brush sets, eye palettes, lip palettes, p/m sets, l/g sets)
- ~4 other brush sets from previous collections
- 4 e/s quads (Pandamonium, Sweetie Cakes, Well Plumed, can't remember the 4th)
- Several paintpots and fluidlines
- Several tendertones
- Tons of lippies
- 2 MSFs (Glissade and Gold Spill) - this was really disappointing for me
- A ton of blushes (including a whole row of Emote)
- All Sculpt and Shape powders
- Scatterrays Solar Bits
- MES and MetalX cream e/s
- Fix+
- Charged Water
- A whole wall of foundations
- MAC 187 brush for $30

The only thing is this branch is really strict with what you can purchase. You can only purchase 3 of the same type of items, like only 3 e/s singles even though they're different shades. I had to ask my mom to buy some e/s for me as I already exceeded the limit. Then later in the day when we passed by the store again and saw a different SA, I bought some more. LOL.

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

I'm heading up there tomorrow...does anyone know if the selection is still the same???Thanks

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

I'm going tomorrow. I am excited, I hope they have some good stuff!

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

I was just there yesterday. The selection is pretty much the same but they also had Light Flush and strobe lotion. Also some Bobbi Brown shimmberbricks.

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

I find this is one of the BEST cco's in the area. I'm about 40 min away but refuse to take the trip b/c everytime i've gone the staff has been EXTREMELY rude and the manager/assistant I think she is are both extremely unprofessional!! I'd rather pay full price then be harassed!!

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

I KNOW! I hate goin in that store. They are all stank and act like bitches. I cant stand the ppl that work there. It sucks cause that store is nice and the only one around. If it happens again I will be going to corporate. Its ridiculous.

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

Wow you guys are so lucky, the closest CCO to me is located in the small corner of a store and they do not carry many items....Oh well

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

wow really? which SA are you talking about? i thought the guy who works there is pretty nice. but there's a girl (she has a huge mole on her face) that's kind of b*tchy imo...

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

I was just there yesterday. They pretty much had the same stuff they've had for a while, with a few exceptions. Some of the stuff they had:

- Lots of eyeshadows- Matte2, all 3 McQueen, Mancatcher, Aquavert, Shore Leave, Seedy Pearl, Sushi Flower, Tilt, Jewel Blue, Bang on Blue, Fab & Flashy, Inuendo, Slip Pink
- 3 or 4 quads

- 2007 lip holiday palettes
- Paintpots (Blackground and Fresco Rose were 2 i remember)
- Fluidlines/Liquid Liners
- All the dual edge liners from Heatherette
- 5 shadesticks
- 6 or 7 Tendertones
- Tons of lip stuff- Bonus Beat L/G, Hollywood Nights L/S, slimshines
- Glimmershimmer
- 3 MSFs
- Lots of blushes
- The usual pigments- Bell Bottom Blue was there
- The blue MetalX cream e/s
- Fix+
- Charged Water
- Strobe Lotion

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

I believe it was Glissade, Light Flush and I can't remember the third.

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

Was there on Saturday 09/13/08...

• A lot of pigments (Mauvement from Overrich)
• Tons of eye shadows (McQueen)
• About 12 different paint pots (Blacktrak, Soft Ocre, etc. - some of the ones needed to complete Fafi faces)
• Burgendy, cobalt and a funky cornflower mascaras, plus 2 shades of zoom lash
• About 6 or 8 different quads (Danse was the only one I recognized)
• 3 of the soon to be discontinued eyebrow shaders
• Looked like they had all of the tinted lip conditioners in those white tubes
• Tons of lippies (McQueen, chromeglass, rose de sheer, and the cases that have the pearls on them)
• 5 differrent Dazzleglasses (Comet Blue and pinks)
• Brushes - 134 or 136, 188, 116 and eye brushes I can't find on MAC's website
• Spray blushes
• About 15, at least, powder blushes (no pink swoon - wah)
• Both of the sheer cheek stain like blushes that were in those oval containers with the sponge and you squeeze (some time as Rose de Sheer)
• only 2 MSFs - medium dark colors
• 2 full coverage foundation compacts - medium dark colors
• 2 studio tech foundation compacts - medium dark colors
• nice variety of loose powders, foundations, etc.
• Dark concealer palette (3 shades)
• I swear they had every single lip palette from last Christmas, cools, warms, and Vivaglam
• At the counter behind the glass, they have aobut 6 different bags with mini brush sets (both sets from last Christmas)
• Also behind the glass about 8 different perfumes including the pink rose smelling one (my fave), I also noticed gold, silver, and I think green
• Lots and lots of eyelashes (including Heatherette)
• Nail polishes (including $$$$$ Yes)
• Basic or prep items...
  • strobe
  • fix +
  • charged water
  • everyday moisturizers
  • cleanse off oil
  • brush cleaner

There was a lot more stuff, but I didn't have that much time.

And hey, if there is something you want from there, just send me a list of what you're looking for and I'd be happy to double check and pick it up for you (just add a buck or something towards gas and then pay for your shipping). No big woo.

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

by any chance any heatherette items there?

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

The one guy always used to be nice to me but last time I went it was him, the manager (african american lady/ponytail always in her hair) and Ashley (I believe shes the assistant) and all three were just insanely rude nasty! I used a paypal debit card in there one day (b/c at the time I had no other cc's and used it just sorta as a pre-paid debit card) and the manager accused me of being a ebay reseller.. despite the fact that I had never sold mac on ebay before at that time. LOL

They told me theres a $300 per 3 month time period limit and since I spent $300 that day I couldn't come back for 3 months. I called corporate and everything and they pretty much told me they have no control over the CCO's and that each store can basically make up their own rules which I think its complete and utter BS!!!

Ever since then (that was about 2 yrs ago) I don't even bother wasting my money on the tolls/gas to go there since I have a freestanding store only a 1/2 hour away now and the ma's there are insanely nice.. its worth the extra money of paying full price!! :/

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

oh man that sucks the sales people at my store can be a pain sometimes but i wave my debit card/credit card and they seem like they are happy at the last minute to make a sale thinking they might just get paid on commission only. one time a lady asked me if i was stealing a tester lipstick she was a sales lady i said no i said im going to buy it and i gave her this dirty dirty look like she was a complete idiot and ever since then when i go into the store and see her she is nice to me.
my store has a 3 limit of the same item rule but they never told me a certain amount and cant come back for 3 months if they did i probley would raise some problems so i could come back. thank god some people that work at my cco are idiots and dont know what they are doing

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

did you happen to see subtle pigment there and starlet kiss?

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

I'm going tonight or tomorrow and I'll take a peek.

About the employees... yes, they told me about the $300 thing, but they didn't say 3 months, they told me it was per day. I was only over by about $95 and they just did another transaction for me and I had to use a different card.

I know the ones you're talking about. The guy can be snitty some times, but the pony-tailed manager has always been pretty cool.

Maybe it's because I buy random stuff? And maybe because I'm in there for so long trying to make up my mind! LOL

or maybe they just think I'm crazy and are afraid of me?

And so what if someone is an e-bay reseller? They have about 5 Dazzleglasses there and yes, it's crossed my mind to sell them on e-bay. I just paid $29 for Blue Comet and could have bought it at the CCO for like $11. Duh! (<--- smacks self on forehead)

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

Does anyone know how much they selling those quads?

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

I don't remember how much the quads are, but they run at least $5 less than in the stores.

I was there last night and they also have...

both Fafi blushes
Sea Me shadestick
Nightfish shadestick
2 of the Fafi dolls

Did not see $$$$$ Yes - looked for it myself

I'll be going back this week if anyone needs anything.

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

I was limited to 3 of a product (even different colors in eyeshadow etc didn't matter) They had 4 SA working as it has been busy.

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

I want all of it!! Especially other worldly and peachykeen blushes <3 Too bad we dont have a CCO in Norway =(

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

i dont want to be stupid but is a CCO? i live really close to franklin mills - 20 min tops and wanna go
is there a minimum purchase? i dont have too much money but really wanna buy myself something.. where is it?

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

Cosmetic Company Outlet. There isnt a minimum but there is a maximum of $300 I believe.

Re: Philadelphia, PA CCO (Franklin Mills)

Since I know the mall pretty well, I go around back of the mall. Go past the burlington coat factory (large center entrance) to the first mall entrance (blue). Go in there to your left across from the sketchers store. If you've been to the mall before-you will wonder why you never noticed or walked into it before. I thought it was just another perfume outlet so I avoided it-for far too long! lol
