I've been to several CCOs in the US at the outlet malls. I usually go there for the MAC stuff and it's either hit or miss. I've gotten pigments, e/s, fluidlines for great prices compared to Canadian prices. The stock is mostly previous seasons (ie, last month I saw stuff from Holiday 2007 and maybe even the year before that!). My most recent purchase is the VVG lip palette with all 6 shades for $22.50.

About 2 years ago I went to the one just outside of Boston and I was able to use a coupon for 15% (one of the outlet mall coupon books) off a $50 purchase so that was one of the best deals that I ever got.

 
I LOVE cco's ! I have been to quite a few of them. The closest one for me is Branson, MO and we go there a lot for the Silver Dollar City theme park so I always have to stop on our way out of town

Things I have found from older collections:

Bait l/g (lure)

waternympth e/s (lure)

fab and flashy e/s (c shock)

mauvement pigment

these are the ones that stand out the most to me...

 
The nearest one to me is a little over an hour's drive away.

It doesn't have a whole lot, either. Mostly Estee Lauder and Clinique.

I've gotten a few things from there that I loved, though...Goldenaire pigment, "Sunday Best" and "Black Tied" eyeshadows, and a Prescriptives foundation.

 
I've never been to one. There is one less than an hour from me. I've been debating on going. I don't want to drive all the way over and waste all that gas to find nothing.

 
I've never been there, but I'm looking for a cheap MAC lipglass so I'll try this week or next probably.

 
theres a CCO about 10 minutes away from my boyfriends house; everytime i go there seems to be nothing good =/ i must not be going at the right times (when they restock). lol

 
I love going to CCO's!! There is one about a half hour from me that I go to once in awhile. I love the Stila and Bobbie Brown stuff I find there. I really haven't found that much great MAC stuff there though. At least, not that sends me anyway.

 
I've never been to cco but i guess what you find will really depend on where you live. Obviously bigger cities will have more to choose from than smaller ones. Thats why i'm not in that big of a hurry, i live in a small city

 
every time i go to myrtle beach, i hit either one or both of the cco's there.

several years ago the stuff was running about a year later from its original release, but now they seem to be getting things in about 3-5 months after the original launch date.

and last week i went to a cco in charlotte, and they already had the fafi blushes

i definately like whatever i can find for less in a cco....it used to be a much more pared down selection, and they would only have one shade in each foundation, but the last couple of years they really have a big selection

 
I love CCO! My CCO gets many LE items, as well as a lot from MAC's permanent line. Everytime I go there I find something. Usually there's about 20-25 shadows, 10-15 different blushes, at least 6 pigments, MANY lippies including, lipglasses, tendertones, slimshines, lipsticks, lip conditioners, etc.

They have shadesticks, paints, fluidlines, fix +, strobe cream and other skincare, many holiday sets, brush sets... foundations, concealers, blot powder, beauty powders, natural msf's as well as the shimmery ones. Just about everything except for regular brushes. I've read of many CCO's having 187's, 182's and other numerous brushes. Mine never gets them though.

The only thing that sucks for me is that my CCO limits your MAC purchases to $75. Most CCO's don't have a limit though. I don't really mind that rule, because I always try not to spend too much anyway. It's annoying because I'd do a lot of Cp's here.. but that rule makes it nearly impossible.

Some of my favorite CCO purchases:

Casino, Bagatelle, Sunday's Best, and Waternymph shadows.

Sunsparked Pearl beauty powder

Sharkskin shadestick (I love all of the shadesticks I got here)

Goldenaire pigment

Pink Cabana, Pink Aspertif, Rio Babe lipstick (I'm forgetting a few)

Poetic License and Gadabout lipglasses

My CCO is 45 minutes away, but I try to get there at least once a month.

 
Yes. There are several in the DC, NJ, NY area and I load up when I'm in that area. There's an Avon here in GA but I'm not so much into Avon.

Find anything interesting there?

I ask because I went for the first time in Vacaville, CA.

I found Peakocky glitter liner from MAC. I honestly thought that was a hard to get color, but nope. Found it there for $10 bucks. And I saw several things I've never seen before from MAC. All I kept thinking was, "are these past their damn expiration date?" They looked like older collections. Haha.

I'm making a mental note to go back there again. They have this palette I was eying but didn't get because I'm too poor.

I went to the one in Gilroy a couple months ago, and they didn't have a very good collection! BUT I did get a chance to go to the one in Carlsbad, and found a bevy of items..some from old collections and some that MAC currently sells. I'm going to post a thread about what I bought soon...because i'm so excited about my haul from San Diego!
 
i would LOVE to be able to go. but, the closest one to me is about a 3 1/2 hour drive. and i really don't think the boy would be up to it just to go 'girl shopping', as he calls it >.<

 
I went to the one in Sawgrass mills in Ft. Lauderdale to get some birthday goodies and it SUCKED so bad... The one in Austin was smaller and wayyyyyyy better. I wish I had gotten more stuff when I was out there...

If you guys know the NY locations, please do post. Oh, and the Lancome outlet too, if anyone knows. I think it's called Discount Cosmetics and Fragrances... Anyhoo, they have REEEEAAAALLLLLLYYYYY good deals.

 
I went this past weekend and they had a decent selection of stuff at the Houston Premium Outlets. It is about 15 minutes from my house. They also have a Perfumania that carries a huge selection of NYX items and a Lancome outlet. I didn't go into either of the other two, I was just going for the CCO.
