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?

Re: Aurora Illinois CCO?

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!!

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.)

Re: Aurora Illinois CCO?

OOOOH, your the daughter!! hahah gotcha! Yeah, I dont have alot of brushes, just the eye brush set from this christmas and one of the basic brush sets from some other holiday. The train cases were like 100 but I just looked at it and it doesnt look as good as I had remembered! It doesnt have any of the trays that pull out or anything. i actually just bought a new one like 4 days ago and I love it!!

Yeah I'm free all the time!!! haha

I was there today, mostly the same items as lilviolingrrl saw. They did have the Softdew Beauty Powder and all the Formal Palettes (lip and eyes). Only pigments I saw were Rose, Goldenaire and Kitchmas.

Darker shades of Studio Tech and Studio Fix Fluid. The had all the same fluidlines except they did have Haunting too. I didn't really see any shadesticks, maybe because I didn't pay much attention.

They had 2 or 3 Petit glosses: Plum Parfait and a pink one.. not sure about there being another one.

Of course, the skincare stuff.. Fix+, Strobe Cream, etc.

Other brands:

Looks like Stila had alot of lip stuff, as did Bobbi Brown. There was actually a nice collection of BB stuff. Prescriptives hardly had anything.

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!

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!

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
