Was there a reason you didn't order the MAC one? Or did you want the "regular" Artist one?

Was there a reason you didn't order the MAC one? Or did you want the "regular" Artist one?

Yeah, I really prefer the regular artist style over the Sport. There's not a big difference in capacity between the two, I just like the regular style better. Also, the regular can be taken on a plane as a carry on. The double wheels on the sport make it so that it won't fit in most overhead bins. And, even though I'm a MAC junkie, I just didn't want the logo on my Zuca.
PS - I got my canisters! I had to call the Miami Pro store to get them. Both Chicago and Nashville, which are closest to me, were sold out of the large ones.

I'm glad you solved the canister issue. Now it shows "coming soon" again for me too. I guess they sold out fast.
Re Zuca: I totally understand that you prefer a less obvious logo.

SO late on this but wow- that's decent! I might be the only one, but I actually like the look of these... My poor TT tins have been pretty abused since I started using them as brush holders.... May have to get one.... You know... whenever they come back.
Of course.... I'd have to order over the phone, but I think it'd be worth it.

It depends on the airline...

I'd hazard a guess that it'd be too big for European budget airlines. They are so stingy with baggage allowances
No idea about US airlines though.

That's why I try to go for larger airlines such as Lufthansa or Air Canada as you can fit in so much more in the overhead space. However, you never can be sure that you can take your stuff with you on board. If they run out of space, it will certainly be checked in even if you are at at gate and about to board...I'd hazard a guess that it'd be too big for European budget airlines.

I'd love to be able to do that, but the price difference over here is insane. I'm going to Berlin next month, and the EasyJet flights from Glasgow plus 3 nights in the hotel was cheaper than the flights on their own with British Airways.

How much makeup can you pack into the carry on case???

The last time I spoke to the folks at Zuca, they told me that the case case itself is the exact same size for both the Sport and Pro models. The difference between them is the design of the frame. The pro has two wheels that lay flush with the frame. The sport has double wheels on either side, which make it easier to maneuver up and down stairs. The wheels on the sport are on the outside of the frame. It is the placement of the wheels on the sport that makes the overall width of the case wider and therefore more difficult to fit into the overhead bin. This is why Zuca markets the pro for travel, and the sport as an "all around gear bag,"
Having said that, here is what I get into my Zuca Pro:
- Iwata silver jet compressor.
- 3 pro pouches containing the following:
1st pouch: about 6-7 Mac 15 shadow pallets, all but one of the pressed eye shadows that Sugar pill makes (in the individual pans), 6-7 Mac eyeshadow quads, Urban Decay Naked Pallet, and about 2-3 Mac shadows from the Posh Paradise collection. Oh and I think I have a random Lancome shadow in there as well.
2) 2nd contains: 1 Mac blush pallet, plus a second blush pallet that holds 8 mac blushes (its some off brand empty pallet I got online some where), Mac P+P Loose Finishing Powder, Mac Silver Dusk Irridescent Loose powder, 1 Mac Bronzer, 1 individual Mac blush, MUFE HD Finishing POwder, and Mac Mineralize Skin Finish Natural Face powders in every shade they make.
3) last pouch has several pigments, mascara wands, a baggie with all my skin care stuff (primer, moisturizers, etc), a second baggie with "cleaning supplies" (Brush cleaner, alcohol, eye M/U remover, airbrush gun cleaner), and a little box I got from Office Depot that holds small tools like tweezers, brow groomers, clips, etc.
- A larger Office Depot box that houses several trays of individual lashes, lash curler, and lash glue.
-Box of Q tips.
-Mac Brush Roll that contains all my eye brushes.
This actually does not fill the entire rolling case. There is a little extra room in there, which is nice because my stuff isn't all crammed. I used to be able to fit everything I own into the Zuca pro, but when I started airbrushing and had to carry the compressor around, I had to get the Zuca backpack. In my back pack I have three more pouches: One contains all foundations and concealers, One has all my lid primers, gel eyeliners, Cream Shadows, mascaras, and eye pencils, and one has all of my lip products. Also in the backpack I store my three 3 large MAC brush canisters - one is usually empty and kept just for dirty brushes, the other two have all my face and concealer brushes in them. In addition, I store my airbrush gun, stainless steel pallets, alcohol wipes, disposable lip brushes, makeup remover wipes, etc in the backpack as well.
Sorry to be so long winded, but this detailed is the only way I know how to be. Hope it helps!

thats a lot of make up!
I think I would rather get geeky science chic beakers from the lab than these plastic brush holders. The plastic just isn't doing it for me.

I saw these at the pro store awhile ago and bought the small one. now they are completely gone
Urgh! The canisters are still back-orderd. It's frustrating!

Me too!!!
But at home I do not close them and use each side/part to put my brushes in (sorry,I don' t know how to explain it
).
It is much easier to reach for my brushes then!
