The Cosmetic Company stores are hit or miss– as you put it– when it comes to product selection.

Hey! I know this is a long time to comment after you posted, but I thought I would give you a little more info on the Cosmetic Company Stores since I worked in one for 4 years.

I’m still on self-imposed makeup lockdown until Cult of Cherry arrives this week. If you’re a makeup newbie, try to visit the store with a friend who’s familiar with the recent collections because I asked the sales staff a couple color questions, and even though they were cordial, they didn’t seem as well trained as regular makeup counter people.Įven though the Stylistics Lipglasses were calling to me, I ended up leaving the store empty handed. Call stores ahead of time to find out which products they carry. To find a Cosmetics Company Store near you, visit or (search by store for Cosmetics Company). Blacktrack Fluidline was marked down to $10.50 from $15, and Brown Script eye shadow to $10 from $14. In addition to having hard-to-find pieces from past collections, the store I visited also carried staple items from MAC’s permanent collection.

If you missed a limited edition release (like I missed the Stylistics collection when it first appeared for the holidays in 2007), and it’s no longer available on MAC’s website, you might get a second chance at The Cosmetics Company Store. I got the impression that colors and product choices are kinda hit or miss, but I was surprised to find a lot of products from past launches like MAC Fafi lipsticks for $10 (originally $14), Beauty Powder Blushes for $12.25 (originally $17.50), and the Lipglasses from the Stylistics collection for $14 (originally $20).
