Hey there! Im a transplant from Chicagoland area Indiana (east chicago, gary, hammond are considered "chicagoland"). I live in Kalamazoo, and we only have Ulta, and are getting a Sephora inside JCP soon. Larger Sephora store in GR, and to my knowledge there is a CCO in Detroit area, and there is def one in Michigan City, IN. I have yet to find any MAC or high end cosmetics friends here in this area. Am always down to do serious shopping/swatching.
