Are there any CCO's in Canada, specifically Ontario ???

 

[FemmeNoir]

Does anyone know if a CCO will ship out products if I call to order?

Thanks!

CCO/CCS do not do mail/phone orders. They are a walk-in store only.

I just want to make sure I understand... if I buy 3 blushes, same brand same color and 3 more blushes different color but still the same brand, is that okay?

I dont think I'd be much of a hoarder... but its good to know.. and how are the stores organized? Are all the brands in one section or just all over the place?

 

[MiCHiE]

The displays are grouped by brand then by product. And, you can get as many products as you would like, but not 3 of the same.
