Yup the full range of travel exclusives is there, including the brush set and all (not pictured).

They're all nice, but I especially like the sets that have a blush and eyeshadows. I'm kinda broke now so I decided not to buy anything. No worries though, there's still plenty of stock left so it's not going to sell out anytime soon.

Hehe it is only available at that one counter, but yeah, it's cool to not have to travel overseas in order to buy these.

Hmm the product range here is pretty limited though, they don't bring in the full range of perm products, so that sucks.

Sounds great! I hope you have fun!

I went to that same counter today, Winnie.

I saw everything. It felt good to see them in person and swatch them.

The only set I didn't see was the eye pencil duo set. I walked off with nothing. I'm strong.

I wanted to get Warm eyes palette but when I saw it IRL, I like the Cool eyes more but I can live without both of them.

The Slimshine set consisted of Rock Out, Bare, and a brown one (I forgot).

There are also 3 lipbag sets consisting of two l/s and one mini l/g each.

What made me really happy was that I got to see other LE items that didn't arrive at our regular MAC counters and store. I saw Creme de Violet and Silverthorn! I saw Impassioned l/s and Show Orchid!

^^ Was Show Orchid there? I didn't see it. I didn't see Silverthorn and Creme de Violet too, since I didn't check out the RR display. What a pity, never mind, I'll be back at that counter again pretty soon. There are lots of gems there that the regular counters don't have.

I also totally agree with you that while the palettes are nice, they are not something that I cannot live without.

Show Orchid and Impassioned are gorgeous!

I'm going so back at that counter this week!!

 

[jungleland]

Oh I forgot!
I bought one of the set brushes, maybe they are not the same quality as others, but I think they are good value for money, especially for beginners, loke me and for travelling they are so convenient!

I never knew that there were MAC counters at airports... does anyone in the tristate know if this would be available at Laguardia, JFK, or White PLains airport?

I wonder how these compare to the full sized brushes... Can someone shed light on this?

I did touch the brushes. They aren't as good as the full size ones but they are convenient. I saw two sets. I didn't like the 187SE set. I like the other set with the foundation brush, concealer brush.

forgive me if I am wrong, but aren't these available at border crossings too?
I live about an hour or so from the border of California & Mexico, and I know there are about 5 duty free shops in the area. Plus if it's a border crossing store would I need to show any kind of identification? The stores are on the CA side.

My cousin lives in San Ysidro (there are 3 duty shops in that city alone!) so I am planning to visit her within a few weeks...looks like I may be getting my hands on some Trip palettes if everything works out & they actually have them

can anyone confirm or deny any of this?

 

[BunnyBunnyBunny]

I looove the box images for these sets! Thanks Winnie!

My mom flew through Detroit today and the duty free shops in the airport didn't have them. They don't carry MAC there.

My friend is going to taiwan next month so I'm hoping she'll be able to get me these palettes. Does anyone know if they have any in taiwan?
