MAC for Chen Man Collection Discussion

[makeupgrrl]

I've never been to a CCO!!!!! is there one in Pennsylvania?????

There are a few in PA.

I think Play it Proper is lighter.

The finish is different as well as the color. PIP is certainly lighter and has more highlighting qualities whereas SA provides more sheen and slightly more pigmentation. Do you need both? Well, that depends on your level of addiction.

It is worth getting both.  PiP has more silver sheen to it.  PiP is closer to Flower Fantasy in terms of light pink sheen though.

My level of addiction is pretty high and all pale powders are a weakness of mine, so I have a feeling Play It Proper will be coming home with me tomorrow, along with Supersweet MES and Love Cycle MES I've also been lemming FoL l/s even though I am usually not one for bright neon pink l/s! I have WMS though. I am thinking I will be liking these bright lippies in the Spring and Summer!

It stands for Cosmetics Company Outlet. I believe it's Estee Lauder brands... They sell MAC, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Smashbox, Bumble & Bumble etc etc and mine also has fragrances like DKNY Be Delicious

I believe there is a CCO at the Vanity Fair outlet mall in Reading. If not the Philly Premium (Limerick) outlets are not to far from where you will be. Happy Hauling!!!

It's the star of the collection for me! So yes!

 

[GlamQueen21]

Better get FOL l/s on Bloomingdales before it disappears off of the website!!!

 

[2browneyes]

I was gonna say the same

Piarpreet, keep in mind that the MAC products that you can buy at CCO's will be more expensive than what you would pay for them with a Pro discount. For Pros, it's only worth when you are after a product that you missed out (but are prepared to pay slightly more for it) or for those items were Pro discount was not available (couture collection, etc..).

Personally, I mostly love CCO's for the suprise effect. You never know what they have in stock.

 

[Rinstar]

Ugh, I have non-buyer's remorse over Budding Love l/s. I convinced myself that I didn't need it, and now I think I needed it LOL. I have been buying a lot of lipsticks lately, and I want Pink Popcorn, so I told myself to skip BL.... Booo!

 

[Fabulash]

I felt the same way with FOL and WMS... so I just put myself out my misery and decided to get both

 

[Rinstar]

Yea I would, but I think Budding Love is sold out everywhere now.

 

[Piarpreet]

thanx guys! I think i convinced him to take me!

Yay! Have fun and if you get a chance, let us know what you find. I get to the Franklin Mills CCO in Philly often, but I always like to see what else is in the area. It maybe worth a drive. I wonder if by the time you go if MAC Me Over will be there, I'm looking for the original Runaway Red, lol

Items are 30% off at the outlet, the same percentage a non makeup artist pro card holder gets.that s not too much off the 40% MUAs get. I love the CCO, lots of treasures! I just got One Off eyeshadow. Been wanting that for a while.

Force of Love is not working on me --

Maybe a lip liner would help. Any suggestions?

I have to stop getting so caught up in the MAC hype. This might be my second mistake since January. Naughty Saute isn't that great on me either.
