Last week while we were in South Carolina, I decided to make a trip to the Tangier Outlet mall in Myrtle Beach to see if they had a CCO (Cosmetic Company Outlet). They did have one and they had the biggest MAC selection I've ever seen in a CCO. I have two CCO's here where I live and while the MAC section is decent it’s not as large as the one in SC! There were multiple stands overflowing with MAC products. There were bins of 2008 Holiday brush sets & 2008 Holiday Lipglass sets! BINS! Each shelf was overflowing with glorious goodies. They had every single MAC brush from their permanent line! They had MULTIPLES of brushes. I was extremely lucky to buy the last 109 brush from my local CCO! I’m not gonna lie. I went crazy. I won’t bore you with everything I bought but I want to highlight how much I saved by making this trip to the CCO. These are the brushes I bought on the trip.

Does that mean I shouldn't buy these brushes for retail price?!
If you have a CCO nearby then I definitely recommend checking there before you pay full price. Everything in the CCO is sold at a discounted price. There are also cheaper alternatives/drugstore brand brushes that work just as well as MAC brushes. I'll write something soon about drugstore brand brushes. :)
What else did you get?!
Hahaha should I write about the rest of the haul & post pics? I didn't want to bore people w/ a CCO haul since it's all from old collections that people may have seen before.
