I never hear people talking about CCOs and I was wondering if people actually do buy makeup from there like discontinued or limited edition products?
Do You Buy Makeup From CCOs?

Oh. I've purchased lots of items from those stores - MAC, Bobbi Brown, Origins, etc.
Never had a problem and they will take something back with a receipt if you don't like it.
I've purchased several things from the CCO and the Lancome outlet over the last 5 years and only had one issue. A eyecream from Origins that I had never used before smelled off, but performed well. I ended up using it as a cuticle cream just to be on the safe side. I will say that it helps to know the prices of the items you're purchasing to make sure you're getting a deal and to be careful because they often sell GWPs from past promotions.
Could they still sell products that are expired? I thought they would check over time or something...
Think they do sell products that are close to the expiration date.
I always had my reservations about buying there for exactly
that thought
Remember they had many Tom Ford lipsticks that were discontinued
way before he reintroduced the new line... some of them were not
fresh... so I learned my lesson...
Don't know if it was expired because I've never smelled a new pot, but other skincare that I've purchased has been just like buying from a department store. I was even lucky in scoring a limited edition blush from Estee Lauder that I'd been trolling Ebay for!
I purchase from CCO and never had a problem. I tend to purchase some limited edition mac products. In the CCO I go to, the Tom Ford products are in new brown packaging not the white ones.
I've bought several products from my local CCO in the past (mainly because its actually closer to me and a lot less crowded and manic as my nearest mac or Bobbi Brown counter) and I've purchased several types of lipgloss and eyeshadow from both Bobbi Brown and Mac there but lately I've found there's very little Mac makeup there that I actually like so I don't call in there as often
I agree about CCO's being less chaotic, I also think the people who work there are less intimidating then the sales girls at mac counters.
