I went to the CCO in Destin, FL today
MY HAUL:
Shadesticks: Gracious Me, Crimsonaire
Eye Shadows: Moon’s Reflection, Felt Blue, Zonk Bleu!, Melton Mauve, Knight Divine.
Pearlette and Opulent pearlizer sheer pigments (Love, love opulent – should’ve gotten 2).
I’m so excited I got these palettes -
Patternmaker: 6 cool eyes
Patternmaker: 6 warm eyes
These palettes are what led me to Specktra! When I saw they were gone from Nordstrom’s site in August, I Googled “Patternmaker” to try to find if anyone else sold it. I knew nothing about how MAC marketed their products. Specktra was one of the sites in the search listings!
One aside though….This is my third time visiting this CCO – it’s an hour’s drive from home; 40 minutes from work. The first time there was no problem with the amount I bought. Last month I bought 5 things. The clerk told me I was limited to buying 3 items and that she would have to ring up 3 items and then 2 items. I told her I didn’t know there was a limit; that I read the sign that said the limit was 3 of the ”same” color, not product. She said there was a limit of only 3 products per cosmetic line – e.g., 3 MACs, 3 Prescriptives, 3 Estee Lauders, 3 Bobbi Browns, etc. This time, though, there was no mention of any limits at all. Maybe this was a training issue for that clerk and she didn’t understand the policy.
I, also, asked when they stocked the shelves. Both clerks told me they receive stock around the middle of the month – and it takes them sometime up to a week to get all the products on the shelves. And she also said that they hadn’t had any pigments or MSFs for a long time! (She suggested I call; their phone no. is 850 650-1660).
I wish I could remember all the products and colors I saw like some posters do. But what I do remember is they had one of the brush sets from the Pattermaker collection, Saks 2004 Holiday Set, other Holiday lip sets, shadesticks, foundations, eyeshadows, concealers, bronzers and the regular fluidlines – there were no LE ones.
