The Cosmetics Company Outlet

The Cosmetics Company Outlet Store sells discounted makeup, skin care, brushes and fragrances from several of the Estee Lauder lines including MAC, Origins, Bobbi Brown and Clinique.

The products include overstock, discontinued colors, and limited-edition products that have been taken off department-store shelves. The prices are generally 20–30% below retail.

A visit to my local CCO a few weeks back proved fruitful. I saw in the MAC section they had items from LE collections Fafi, Heatherette, as well as some MAC brushes.




I picked up
MAC Colorforms Special Edition brush set,
MAC Sculpt & Shape in WARM LIGHT,
MAC Mineralized Skin Finish in SO CEYLON,
MAC Reflects Blackened Red Glitters(pigment),
MAC Paintpots in MOSSCAPE & ROLLICKIN,
as well as a Clinique 3 step kit. I was very pleased with my products.
I can't wait to go back. As cheap as I am, this is probably the only way I'll buy most of my high end makeup/accessories. Have you ever visited a CCO?

Ok, so the debate rages on. DieHard MAC Addicts have compared the MAC normal product line brushes to the SE ones & determined that the quality is NOT the same. The SE brushes are mass produced vs. HANDMADE for the normal product line. I'd still love to get my hands on all 3 sets. They're just $35 per set @ Nordstrom. UGH! I wish I had a wealthy benefactor to bankroll my makeup obsession. LOL I still think this would be a terrific way to familiarize myself w/ the MAC brushes until I can actually AFFORD to stomp w/ the big dogs & buy the everyday brushes individually. You can purchase the sets online @www.maccosmetics.com They aren't showing up on the nordies website. grrr. but u may be able to call ahead to your local store to see if they have any in stock. They were selling them for $35 each. . You can get FREE shipping if you place your order online & chat it up with a MAC reponline. They are generous about giving you a code for FREE shipping! Happy Shopping!

EDIT!

While I missed out on this particular brush set, I did manage to find a similiar one (colorforms) @ my local CCO. I'm satisfied with my purchase & look forward to acquiring another one during my next CCO visit. A steal @ $34.75
