Why was an average M.A.C. product more expensive at a CCO?

My friend called the CCO near us to see how much they were selling the M.A.C. studio sculpt concealer for, and the woman said $19.75. On the M.A.C. website it says studio sculpt concealer is $16.50. Why would they make it MORE expensive at the CCO?Why was an average M.A.C. product more expensive at a CCO?
are you on the canadian/US border?





CCO is usually 20-30% off the regular MAC place so the prices she gave sound a little off. CCO is difficult, so it's hard to find the product u are looking for. really, you just have to go there and be happy with what you find bc you never know what you'll find





MAC concealers are very reasonable priced and don't cost more than 15-16$ US or 20$ canadian
