Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

Pretty much between $2 and $10 off retail prices.

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

Is everything 30% off?

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

I just got back from the CCO at the Chicago Premium Outlets and I am highly disappointed in their selection and the fact I spent an hour trekking there and back.

For those of you interested in going there, they have a lot of current fluidlines (nightfish, blue peep, haunting, non conformist), LE and regular shadesticks (I remember seeing the white one, penny, taupagraphic, gracious me, blurberry, shimmermint, some darker greenish one...)

They had a lot of foundations both powder and liquid. A lot of the skin care/prep and prime/makeup remover in the old packaging.

Holiday 2006 lip gelee and lip stick dress sets and compacts, they had a ton.

Eyeshadow wise they had a bunch of mancatcher, lily something or other, and basically blah stuff. Nothing stood out. They had blushes but I can't remember the names. And a ton of brushes.

They had a ton of LE lipglasses and lipsticks, but I couldn't get close enough to see them since there was this huge woman standing there, trying on EVERY SINGLE ONE and whiping it off the entire time I was there... I was getting so irritated.

They had two pigments, one whitish and one brownish, both ugly.

I ended up hauling a Bobby Brown shimmerbrick in peony (they had a ton of those, since I've been told its the best stereo rose dupe ever), gracious me shade stick, a 252 brush, 318 brush, and a bottle of Fix+ and a bottle of strobe cream. Good times.

Hope this is helpful to anyone else who wants to go!

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

Thank you!

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

I am going to Chicago (home sweet home) this weekend for a while and have been DYING to go to the CCO!!! I hope they have some good stuff now!

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

I went a few weekends ago and sadly enough they didn't have anything too fantastic. I posted above, two or three posts was my report and haul. Maybe there will be better things availiable to you, and I hope you can come back with a report since I'd love to go again!

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

Anyone been here lately?

I'm getting a big last check in the mail and I want to go... also, how much % is it off of MAC products?

Is it 30% or 25%? I've heard both!

Thanks

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

I wish I could get up to Aurora! bah!

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

I was just there today. They have the Barbie eyeshadows @ $10, including moth brown, didn't see any pigments two face highlighters, I think, some liquidlasts, blushes, spray blush? I'm sorry I'm sure I'm forgetting plenty. And things they've had for a while. I spent $116 total and got some great stuff. Sorry for typos , I'm on blackberry walking through mall!

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

OOHHH! I wanna go so bad. I keep putting it off because I haven't got my refund check from T-Mobile yet. It's been 6 wks, I'm getting annoyed >_> I want to go there SOOO bad!

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

I finally got to go to this CCO, I didn't get much though because I only had $30 to spend on makeup. So I bought Aquavert E/S, Scene 1 E/S and Well Dressed Blush

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

BloodMittens, I'd say that's darn good for $30! I also wanted to get the Aquavert but was trying to "budget". I went in there only wanting to spend $50 and walked out broke! Haha.

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

Lol. I manage my money pretty well, I'll just wait till I get more money for makeup. And my birthday's coming up, so I'll definately be getting a LOT more. But I was surprised at how much they had!

They had some of the Lip Palettes from Holiday 2006. Two brush sets. The LipGelees sets. Cheek Stains for AWHILE ago. Some stuff from the Bait/Lure collections. A lot of bags and some weird traincase. Mothbrown eyeshadows... though I chose against it because I would never wear it.

I loved it all But I just didn't have enough, so I'll go back when I do.

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

2. Lip Gelees - gift sets and travel sets
3. Foundation - select sticks
4. Moth Brown e/s
5. Mancatcher e/s
6. BeautyBurst e/s
7. French Grey e/s
8. Rondelle e/s
9. A Lavender e/s (cant recall the full name)
10. Loose Powder
11. Ballonancy Highlighter
12. Mascara
13. Shadesticks - Blurburry etc

I was impressed with the NW and NC foundations in the 40s-50s. There was also Strobe Cream, Cleansing Oil, Eye makeup remover, shave cream, and some other facial care products. Plus, eye and face brushes. (The staff seems to be pretty good about letting customers know which brushes are sold out.)

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

thanks!!

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

Anyone been around here lately? D: I plan on going Sat. October 9th. If anyone goes before me, could you check out what's there? Lol. I need to know how much money I should bring!

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

Sooo. I went to this CCO today. To tell you the truth, there's not much more than when I went the last time.

Same eyeshadows
New pigments though:
Blue-Brown
Pink Opal
Frost
Violet
Jewelmarine Glitter

Two blushes where there. One was a dark mango color, the other one was a light light pink-lavender, I forgot the name.

Some Lip sets from holiday. Gelees and cool and warm palettes. Some brush kits from last holiday and the holiday before that.

Glitter Liners I got Peacocky and Divine Lime, but the white glitter liner was there too from the Jewelscent Collection.

Not many paints, a lot of fluidlines, royal wink, iris eyes, haunting, frostlite, nightfish.

Cheek Stains, tons of lipglass and lipsticks, also a lot of the conditioners. Lots of bags and nail polishes that I didn't look at. Blurberry, Crimsonaire, Penny and Corn Shadesticks.

That's about it I think.

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

Gah, I was thinking of hiking down there next weekend and it seems they don't have much. Has anyone seen the Barbie lippies there at all? I'm hunting down Real Doll.

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

Nah. Only Lure lippies. No barbies, I would have known and grabbed them

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

CCO is the Cosmetics Company Outlet...they sell Estee Lauder brand cosmetics, which includes MAC. A lot of the DC'd products go there. If you have a nice outlet mall, you might have one.

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

I could have sworn I was subscribed to this thread, but I didn't get those last several responses! I heard on the MAC Yahoogroup that C-Shock was shipped to CCO's last week. Which ones, I don't know...

Has anyone visited the store during their Midnight Madness shopping on Thanksgiving? Anything special about it?

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

I ventured over to the CCO in Aurora, IL this morning and was pretty disappointed in what I saw. However, I know one woman's trash is another's treasure so here is my report!

Eyeshadows:
They had a ton of Barbie ones. Every colour, and many of each. The only thing they seemed to not have a lot of was Magic Dust or wahtever it is.

They had a lot of Aquavert, and two Moonbathe shadows; the name escapes me.

Seedling, Floral Fantasy, and Fertile were abundant.

For face stuff, they had a lot of the Nordstroms' anniversary face pallets/lip pallets whatever was released over the summer.

Lots of foundations and powders.

Lots of skin care, strobe cream, fix +, studio moisture, etc.

Lots of lipglass, chrome class, some slimshines, Tendertones, TLC, lipsticks. No Barbie lippies.

Fluidlines including haunting, waveline, sweet sage, etc. TONS.

Not a lot of lipliners or shade sticks.

Some nail polishes but they didnt look worth my time bending over to check out.

I didn't see any Barbie blushes I don't think they had blushes at all, come to think of it.

Pigments I saw cocomotion, mauvement, jewelmarine glitter, and a few more from rushmetal.

Hope that helps anyone!

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

I am going to this CCO on Sunday. I hope they got some new stuff!

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

You are going to be there on Sunday? Oh, I should see if I can get out there. Will you be in the area long? You can PM me privately if you like...

Re: Aurora, IL CCO (Chicago Premium Outlets)

I love that place!
Did anyone went there recently? What do they have there now? Ussually they are pretty good with MAC stock.
