Hello my dears!!
I’ve been wanting to go to the CCO for ages but the closest one is an hour and a half away. Yesterday I drove my mom to the airport in Charlotte, and decided that this was finally my opportunity! I can’t say it’s the best CCO I’ve ever been to, but I found some great items.
CCO stands for Cosmetic Company Outlet/Store, and in this magical little place you can find overflow cosmetic items from brands owned by Estee Lauder — which includes MAC, Clinique, and Bobbi Brown! At a 30% discount!!!
Because you can’t be sure how long the makeup have been there I like to purchase items that don’t go bad… like brushes, eyeshadows, blushes, etc.
Brushes (l-r) MAC 116, 129, 226, 214 |
All but one of the brushes I purchased are part of the permanent line. I’m not sure why, but I also received an additional 10% off. The 226 was limited edition and is not currently available at counters/stores. I can’t believe I found one!!!
I have been wanting all of these brushes for quite some time and I never imagined I would find them all at the CCO! There was a 188 there that I really wish I would have bought… I have to pick mom up on Wednesday, so we’ll see what happens! 🙂

OH gosh! You were able to find Mac Brushes at a CCO?! INSANE. I love going into CCO's, you can get the best deals there 😀 The nearest one for me is 2 hours away though, so not an easy drive to make! Lovely haul dear 😀
