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..
ssad.gif

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!

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!

I went there yesterday! They didn't have tons of stuff over in the MAC section, but make sure to ask if they have any MAC stuff behind their checkstand (eyeshadows, lashes, etc.)

What I didn't know is that in the MAC section, they have testers and then you bring those testers to the sales girl and she picks out the new products in boxes behind the counter. I remember looking at the testers and thinking THAT was the actual product you buy and all of this was kind of a rip off because it was used anyway! MAN, I probably would have got so much more if I had known that! (Was running late somewhere.)

The SA also said that they get shipments almost every month at the end of the month. I would totally check back early january if I were you!

Anyway I don't remember alot of what i saw, but for sure they had:

-Shadows: Fountain Bleu, Da Bling, Rule, Love Bud, Purple Shower
-A few mascaras
-Vinyl lipstick
-Lipmixes (i remember a blue one)
-CCBs: Luna, Pearl, Shell, Improper Copper, Fantastic Plastic
-Pink Swoon blush
-MAC fragrances
-tons of skincare
-tons of cosmetic bags
-Fluidlines: Iris Eyes, Non-Conformist, Royal Wink, Blue Peep
-HUGE 174 brush
-Paints: Bare Canvas, Canton Candy, Mauvism and Flammable

Re: CCO in Carlsbad, CA

Hey! Wow! I should have checked here before I went! I was there today, unexpectedly, and saw all the Nordstrom Holiday Dress sets still there too. These are the e/s I can remember:

Rule, Budding Beauty, Light Ray, Sweet Lust, Swiss Chocolate, Overgrown, Spring Up, Turquatic, Purple Shower, Swish, Bateu, Fountain Bleu, PinkSource(?), Soft Brown, Botanical

Here is the other stuff that was there:
Iris Eyes, Blue Peep, Royal Wink

NC45 and up liquid foundation

Nordstrom Holiday Dress Sets

Nordstrom Patternmaker Brush Set

Blue Brown, Pinked Mauve

Margarittes, Tan Ray, Architecture, and other paints
Few lipsticks and some lipglasses
Cream color bases, some foundation powder, etc.

Also, I asked her when they got shipment in and she said last week but they sold most of it out over the weekend already. So, I asked her what else came but I missed out on. She said alot of other e/s and she showed me the tester for Texture. Other pigments they had were Azreal Blue, Shimmertime, Rose, and Night Light. She also said they got the Formal Black Face Brush set in!!! I almost got sad that I missed it but she said that they only got 2 in and her and the manager got them so they didn't have any to sell anyway. :\

Also, she said that they never know now when the shipments are. Sometimes in the middle, sometimes in the beginning, other times at the end, it's all random.

I know they used to get it mide month, but, now this makes it harder to figure out when to go, they sell out so fast of stuff.

Anyway, please keep us posted!

I was there last summer and they said they had NO MAC. But I've been to other CCO's and didn't realize the products out were testers either...doh.

Re: Carlsbad, CA CCO

Hey girls!

1) Pigments - Night Light, Softwash Grey, Pinked Mauve
2) Fluidlines - Nightfish, Iris Eyes, Blue Peep, Royal Wink
3) Eyeshadows - Overgrown, Spring Up, Purple Shower, Soft Brown, Light Ray, Rule, and a couple others that were there last time I went. Nothing new though.
4) Nordstrom Holiday sets (not sure exactly which ones, but the ones from this Christmas)

Lashes, lots of lipglasses and lipsticks and paints and nail polishes. Liquid foundations in the dark colors.

Sorry, I didn't have much time because I was sorta rushing and only had less than 5 min in the store. I didn't buy anything either!
