There is nothing quite like it. The Cosmetics Company Store, that is.
The Cosmetics Company Store is the Estee Lauder brands outlet store. It carries the likes of Estee lauder, Prescriptives, MAC, Origins, Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Flirt!, and more. They sell lots of discontinued limited edition items at around a 30% discount, many of the GWP sets, some great perfume sets as well, and if you are lucky enough, brushes.
I unexpectedly made my way to one of The Cosmetics Company Store, and had myself a ball shopping.
great products but very very rude sales people
where can i find out if there is a cosmetic company store where i live? i live in chicago help… i want to find mac cosmetics for cheap.
I have been shopping at this store for years and really enjoy it. Here in Orlando, it’s far from residential and tourist areas, which make the trip easy. I wish they had a website, though!
If it’s a bit of a drive for you, try calling first. As Kelly mentioned, it’s hit or miss if the associate with help you. With crazy gas prices, it it may be worth it.
Mayra – There is a CCS at the Chicago Premium Outlets in Aurora, IL.
Hope this helps you!
Revisiting this post makes me want to get out for another day of shopping at the CCS.
Hi! this is what i’ve being looking for a discount store, but i live in California any ideas where is CCS in California
Pretty much all the Chelsea Premium Outlet stores have one. if your closer to the bay area the Gilroy outlets have one. But its a hit or miss at that shop usually most of the stuff is gone, but you should check it out its well worth it.
I shopped at the location in The Legends Mall in Kansas City, Kansas and they have a wonderful selection of cosmetic products and an excellent staff to service you.
The prices are incredible and can’t be beat!
Go to the outlet mall in Cabazon, CA which is 20 minutes from Palm Springs
Thanks for the info, Colleen. I hope you helped out some CCS fans.
There is a Cosmetic Company Store at the Block of Orange super nice girls that work their and extremly helpful. I love that place have a good variety of MAC always a big plus. if you live in Cali i definitly recommend going to that store.
I am excited to visit my local store(Round Rock) after visiting the Dallas location but I agree with Kelly that the store is great and carries great products but the sales people ARE very rude!
Tips for shopping at CCS: 1) Don’t ask when they get shipment, they are no longer allowed (or permitted) to give that out (plus, I noticed it stresses them out when people are acting like vultures, nearly harassing them about the shipment. It CAN take up to a week & a half to get everything out on the floor) 2) Everything they sell are seasonal, discontinued, and back-stock items… they do NOT carry popular items you find in malls. 3) They are not trained to know about the products, what colors look best on you, etc. (if they know any of that, they learned it on their own) 4) Do not “last minute shop”! 5) *IF* they are rude, they’re probably tired of having to deal with the previous 4!

The CCS store in Vacaville doesn’t carry a good amount of MAC, all the other CCS stores are likely to ask for those products the most – try the store in Napa, there are usually 5 bunkers filled with MAC whereas Vacaville will have 2-3 (and most items are just the same colors, used as “fillers” on the shelves).
for anyone who wants to find where there is a CCS store try http://www.mallseeker.com its really good, you can do a search by store or state
The one on 100 church has great make – up, terribly rude staff. Ruins the whole trip down (ask anyone who goes there)
evelyn flores I am not sure where in Cali that you live but there is one also in Camarillo Ca at the outlet mall. It is by Ventura if that helps
i agree. i love their discounted stuff but the sales people are veryyyy rude. it kind of ruins your whole day. i need to find another one in my area that doesn’t have rude employees.
i’m going to the CCO at the block of orange tomorrow. hoping to find some good MAC products!
