Re: Smithfield, NC CCO (Carolina Premium Outlets)
Thanks to kuuipo1207's post, I figured a trip out to the CCO store wouldn't be a complete waste of time. But I didn't think I'd find so many cool things!
Stuff I saw but
didn't get included: the set of 5 warm lipglasses for $20 from last year's holiday stuff (I think), the set of four shadesticks from the same time period that included Royal Hue, the set of warm pigments from that same time period too, a bunch of blushes in pot and Sunbasque in pan, a bunch of random foundations and concealers in different formulations, lots of lipliners, lots of Chromeglasses, some e/s including Mancatcher and Black Tied from Lure like kuuipo1207 mentioned as well as the mineralized duo, the cool eyes set from Patternmaker from last year, two quads (Take Wing from Untamed and Sweetie Cake), a set of three lipsticks (including See Sheer), some bags, a lip palette from last year's holiday stuff too, some beauty powders, a few brushes, some e/l with sparkles, a set of 3 lipgelees, a decent selection of pigments (including Pinked Mauve, Apricot Pint, Lovely Lily, and Entremauve) and a few glitters in vials and jars, one glitterliner... Basically nothing too earth-shattering, but it was really fun to paw through everything!
Stuff from other brands at the CCO- lots of single e/s from Clinique, some skincare that was barely discounted (we're talking $1 discounts) from them, some random Origins stuff, Bone cream e/s and Peony and Gold Shimmerbricks from Bobbi Brown (there was one more but I don't remember the name), some Prescriptives foundation and lipstuffs... I didn't look at the EL stuff much, so I can't report about it.
And as for Stila: Pussycat Dolls palette, two re:Orient palettes, a couple lipsticks, one Blackberry lipglaze and lip pencil set for about $16, lots of different brushes, a few lipsticks, two pan e/s without containers (one was Jade), and a silver can with the Stila girl on it in a blue outfit (?) and three brushes for about $30. There wasn't a lot of makeup available, but it seemed to me like there was a nice variety of Stila brushes available.
So I know what you're thinking... so what did
I buy? So let's get on with that!
This includes stuff for me and for my sister in law:
Fluidlines: Delphic, Haunting, Lithograph
Pigments: Accent Red, Blue Brown (I got the last one)
Face stuff: Desirous blush, Shell Pearl (gave this one a bad review but when I put it on (instead of the MA) I liked it!), Studio Stick foundation, Shock and Shine Glimmershimmer
E/s: Clinique's Peacock e/s
Lip stuff: EL Pure Color l/s in Raspberry Pop, Clinique Azalea l/g x2, Pulsesetter and Already Fab! Chromeglass, and Wild 'Bout You!!!!! I'd wanted that for months and finally found it!
Hope you enjoyed reading about this CCO and what it has!
