I visited the CCO near me recently and bought a few bits and pieces – extremely random mind, but here goes!
I bought Origins Gloomaway Gumballs – chewing gum but they taste of grapefruit and seriously don’t last for very long at all. When they dry up they go hard like fimo. Not sure if they are making me less grumpy but they taste good!
The gumballs:
I got a mini Ojon Hair Revitalizing Mist – it needs a good shake to mix up the formula then you spritz it in for some shine and hydration. Works a real treat and smells good too although this mini bottle won’t last long.
I bought 3 MAC eyeshadows…
I was surprised by how much LE stuff was there and discounted – made me wonder what the point of paying full price was!
I got All Races, Apres Ski and Zingy. I swatched these and they look rubbish but applied on the eye with some primer, they look pretty good! The first two shades are boring but handy shades for work.
I can’t say this haul was a super bargain – things just weren’t *that* cheap – I think my total bill was £35. It was nice to have a nosey in the shop though – CCO’s sell Estee Lauder brands like…well, Estee Lauder, MAC, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Aramis, Origins etc.
Picked up any bargains lately?

Did you go to the one in Cheshire Oaks Row? I was there 2 weeks ago, and picked up the Origins Youthtopia foundation, Origins Ginger Essence roll-on, Mac tinted lip conditioner in Calm Mode (absolutely love this one and wished I’d bought a back-up!). I was chuffed to bits with the saving on the Origins stuff, but the foundation broke me out :’( and I really can’t be bothered going back just to exchange it! I too saw lots of Mac collections, and I have to say I was pretty gutted that I’d paid full price for one item…I think next time I will hold on and check out the CCO a few months after the collection’s released!

I didn’t know there were any CCOs in the UK! Where did you go Row? Does anyone know of any in England? where are they?
